Frida Kahlo lived a short life, but she has impacted art in a way that will live on forever. In Khalo’s forty-seven years she created almost two-hundred paintings, fifty-five of these are self-portraits (kahlo.org 1). Kahlo created intimate paintings like no one had ever seen. She became an inspirational artist and feminist icon. As her husband Rivera put it, “Never before had a woman put such agonized poetry on canvas as Frida did at that time” (Mencimer 29) .

In the previous chapter, it was shown that a three-component structure of relationship quality exists within this study group and gives evidence to suggest that this theoretical framework is likely to be reflected in other captive chimpanzee groups. Chapter 3 explains the quality and asymmetrical nature of chimpanzee relationships at the dyadic level. However, it is important to understand how a relationship between two individuals contributes to the dynamics of an entire social group as the…

a preference of a dominant limb over a non-dominant limb, motor units become exposed to unequal conditions that demand different amounts of strength and fatigue resistance. Research led by Adam, De Luca, and Erim (1998) suggests that this manual asymmetry was shown to alter the physiological and mechanical properties of muscle. The dominant hand’s motor units had a lower average firing rate and lower recruitment threshold that coincides to the dominant hand having a higher percentage of slower…

his lips, which shine due to the combination of the dark purple and the white. His eyes, too, draw the viewer’s attention. The portrait has a vertical line formed by his nose, his neck, and his jacket that splits it in half, creating a sense of asymmetry between both sides. Everything, from his hair, his eyebrows, his cheekbones, to his collar points the viewer to the bisecting line. Billy also has his hand curled into a fist, with his fingers coloured purple and red, perhaps demonstrating a…

Where Modern Meets Mundane: The History of the Internet in a Contemporary Culture If we are the so-called “networked society” (Kåhre, 2013, p.1), and this is the age of web culture, we have to ask ourselves if the Internet has indeed just recently jumped out of antiquity. Through a critical analysis of literature surrounding different communication types, I will endeavour to investigate which aspects of the Internet, if any, could be regarded as ‘new’. Throughout this essay, I use the word…
