Fountain

As many can agree, the awkward adolescent years filled with memories of braces and acne are years eagerly forgotten by many individuals. However, in the poem, "Heaven," author Carrie Fountain recounts her own adolescents years that were often spent with her friend at the local shopping mall. The poem dramatizes both the physical and emotional struggles faced by many teenagers. This theme of struggling adolescents is portrayed through Fountain's use of poetic form and structure, tone, and…

The stories main protagonist Briony first came across as being a self-absorbed brat. This impression seemed to be verified when she was more concerned with perfecting her play than her cousins’ unfortunate predicament. However, over time Briony is built upon as a character and is given depth. She is no longer painted as being just egocentric; instead she turns out to be an imaginative yet neglected child. Her father rarely appears in the household because of work. While Brionys’ mother is…

The World Trade Center Memorial commemorates the September 11, 2001,attacks and the bombing that occurred at the World Trade Center in 1993. The memorial can be found at the former location of the Twin Towers in New York. These fountains that rest in the footprints of the towers are a powerful reminders of our nations history and all the lives that were lost that day. This memorial is ultimately successful because it evokes emotion whether that be sadness or possibly a feeling of serenity or…

themselves at that time. Much like Picasso who led the Cubism movement, DuChamp was a leader of the surreal ready-made art. Ready-made art is the direct use of manufactured consumer products in art. DuChamp's most prominent and controversial piece was Fountain, a piece…

our attention towards the architecture its self. The two pieces that are featured in Riverpark Square hold a true meaning of memory to me. The first piece are the runners, that are located just outside the the mall, and the second is the two story fountain which you can’t miss. The runners in the park hold a spot in my memory bank because of what they stand for no pun intended, and why they were created. David Govedare the artist created these runners to celebrate the tradition of Bloomsday,…

knew what their performance involved. “Dude, you don’t even wanna know what they’re gonna make us do,” said A-bort to Billy, demonstrating his attitude about their role, which included walking and standing on stage during the singers’ performance (Fountain 225). Prior to the start of the show Bravo Squad had no idea they would be on stage during the halftime show, and they were not happy when they learned their role. Moreover, had they known earlier, they could have backed out of the show, but…

earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Genesis 1:28) (Bible Gateway Passage). In the center of the left panel lies a lake with a pink fountain in the middle. In the fountain the eye will find an owl. Bosch’s uses the owl to symbolize the people who choose to live in the darkness accepting the fact, and being blind to the light of God. This bird may symbolize the inevitable eating of the fruit of…

I will be discussing three artworks that all hold significant values, some different and some the same. Two of the works I looked at were readymades by Marcel Duchamp; ‘Fountain’, created in 1917, and ‘L.H.O.O.Q.’ in 1919. My other selected work is one of Picasso’s most famous oil paintings, ‘Guernica’. Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Fountain’ remains to be one of the most influential artworks of the 20th century. In order to challenge the boundaries between high and low art, Duchamp submitted a urinal…

instance, there was a separate water fountain, one for colored people and another for white people. The Southerners claimed this was “separate but equal”, but it was unequal because the white people had a better functioning, more polished water fountain than that of colored people. The Southerners wanted an excuse for being able to mistreat the African Americans because technically the government still placed a water fountain for both races, however the white water fountain was better. This…

Duchamp chose the name „Fountain“ (Springbrunnen), instead of „urinal“ to raise the urinal by the alienation of art. Due to the „Fontaine“ he really provokes the good taste of the community, by selecting a object, which had the least chance of being loved. A urinal bowl - there…
