In this essay I will explore structuralism and evaluate the usefulness of the theory. I will look at examples of Structuralism in ethnography, such as observable binary oppositions and interpretations of the importance of myth, also exploring criticisms of the theory. I will explore the claim that Structuralism is too theory-based and cannot account for the experience of the individual, and whether this means that Structuralism can be relied on to inform us about human life from an…

himself art from books, never going to a formal academy. However, his art never took off, forcing him to move into his brother Theo’s home in 1886. Interestingly, Theo was known to talk to his brother about the great work that Impressionists, like Monet, had done. This is where van Gogh even took some of his inspiration, using the colors and lighting of the Impressionists. Unfortunately, the instability of his career forced van Gogh into a mental decline around 1888, into a time when he would…

Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne differed greatly in style and did not present a clear, concise picture of the world, but they both found new ways of representing nature. The paintings "Rocks in the Forest" and "The Artist's Garden at Giverny" represent the artist's lives by their use of different shades of colors; however, they share rough, unfinished textures and both vertical and curved lines. "Rocks in the Forest" render the shapes with passages of subtly varied colors, such as green, blue,…

January of 1850, Monet joined the Thomas Couture’s Studio and Couture encouraged his students to explore the ways of art and art expressions. Monet trained with Couture for six years and then started his own studio in Rue Lavoisier. Manet worked with other artists who believed that art should represent modern life and not history or mythology. The salon of 1863 refused these paintings and thought that painters were better off painting history or mythology than modern life. Monet and his friends…

extraordinary artistic innovations that not only changed both how artists utilized their materials but also altered the reputation of art itself. Without overstatement, it can be said the Impressionist movement began in the early 1870’s with Claude Monet. Impressionists ultimately rejected the system of state-controlled academies and salons of previous art periods in favor of independent exhibitions; furthermore, the Impressionists painted contemporary landscapes and scenes of modern life,…
