A founding member of Fauvism, Andre Derain is known for his vibrantly colored paintings and fauvist style.

Andre Derain’s painting “The Trees” is a great representation of the artist’s style and use of Fauvism. The medium of this painting is oil on canvas and is 59.4 centimeters in length by 72.4 centimeters in width, “The Trees” was…

Art is based on influences and creative works, having the ability to visualize outside influences while manipulating them in the artist’s own imagination is truly stunning. Henri Matisse along with Pablo Picasso are few of many that could use that outside “influence” and depict it in a beautiful and subtle way. African sculptures and tribal masks caused a vast effect on both artists, and so each artist adopted the use of this non-Western art form in different ways. African art was introduced to…

Henri Matisse painted Bonheur de Vivre (c. 1905-1906) within the introductory period of radically charged, color-based fauvist work. The color in Bonheur de Vivre easily conveys a sense of joy present in a free-natured romp through nature the painting attempts to emulate. The painting contains sixteen feminine-coded human figures sitting in a hyper-colored field. Instead of a contemporary scene, trees enclose a mythic clearing. This deifies these figures as they lounge nude in multicolored grass…

This resulted in Carnegie investing in the steel industry, since he thought it’d be the strongest material to build the longest bridge in…

British management partly due to the fact he has been one of very few to achieve international acclaim and recognition (Brech, Wilson, & Thomson, 2010). Urwick is sometimes identified as a classical management believer who helped to promote the works of Henri Fayol in the English-speaking world (D.Parker & Ritson, 2011). Urwick approached the subject of management in a way similar to that of Fayol. In all of Urwick’s books and booklets, Fayol’s theoretical analysis and principles of application…

The social hierarchy does not provide a way for those on the bottom to escape the bottom. They remain at the lowest of the low purely because there is profit to be made from the suffering of the inferior. The psychologist John C Turner examined the consistency of one’s identity in a group and its inability to change: “It is the awareness of the existence of categories which generates the in-group response, not necessarily past hostility nor objective conflict. Identity within a group is either…

modernization of the roles of women. The portrayal of the female nude in Henri Matisse’s Bathers by a River uses the nude to express his frustrations with the Battle of Verdun. Initially, it was conceived in 1909 as a scene of arcadian leisure, but then years later in Morocco, it was transformed into a monumental image of grief and stoicism. His new representation of female bathers stands for an image of national suffering. Henri Matisse’s portrayal of the female nude in Bathers by a River…
