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…
also evolves as we do, as our lives and situations change so does our view of time. It is based upon our awareness or consciousness. In French philosophy they use their senses to describe and explain how we perceive nature and the world around us. Henri Bergson and Gaston Bachelard both see time in a differing lens, in an polarized way they adhere…
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…

Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish immigrant who became successful in the steel industry during the Gilded Age, which were the 1870’s-1900’s. He worked as a messenger until Thomas Scott, the superintendent of Pennsylvania Railroad, saw potential in Carnegie and became his mentor. His mentor later assigned Carnegie the job to build a bridge across the Mississippi. 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…
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…

In order to accomplish everything she did (Founder of Curic Instutes, winner of two Nobel Prizes, discovering two new chemical elements) being a woman in a time where women were considered to be second class…
3. Apprehending one’s own self in intuition. Dispensing with the habitual view of a stable selfhood and replacing it with a model of an ever changing, evolving self, Bergson reviews our perception of epistemological processes and divides them into the perception of the outside features of an object and the perception of an object originating from within. Due to the practical rationality of everyday life we access the world, other people and our own selfhood from the outside and divide the…
In the last couple years, it seems that there is always a news headline about a celebrity getting into an argument with the paparazzi, and there is always that one person that feels the need to say, “They signed up for it,” but that’s not true. These celebrities signed up to do what they love; they signed up to do a job just like any other person. What they didn’t do is sign up to have drones fly over their homes, be followed and yelled at as the walk down the street, or be photographed as they…
