Marcel Proust

approaches to the creation of art were reflected in the variety of artistic movements that defined the period between 1900 and 1980. Two different pieces that encompass varied approaches to art are Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by Pablo Picasso and Fountain by Marcel Duchamp. Both of these works are largely influential in the span of modern art for their innovation in representation and method of depiction. Pablo Picasso is perhaps one of the principal artists that pioneered Cubism during the…

In the story The Gift and the Giver and A rich man’s son, a lot of giving happened in the stories.Sometimes you can't expect something back so quick like one of your friends/parents had an present for you. You always have to be patient for things in life and appreciate what you have.

The king wanted to show love to the Giver so he made the Giver wait where he…

Man Ray’s Cadeau (1921, Figure 1) was the artist’s first “readymade,” in addition to being the first piece he made while in Paris. The sculpture’s simple yet provocative form consists of an upright flatiron with several nails glued to its base in a single-file line. Like many of Man Ray’s works, Cadeau has a rich mythology associated with its creation. In this case, the piece was created the day of Man Ray’s first Parisian exhibition, with the help of composer Erik Satie.1 In Man Ray’s words:…

about Proust 's "intense, emotional" relationships with other women(Bechdel 94). Proust was a homosexual but he never admitted to it during his lifetime. Similarly, Bruce is married to Helen and had a relationship with her. However, he continues to have relationships with other men, like the babysitter and yard work assistant, Roy(Bechdel 94). Bechdel describes Proust and Bruce as "pansies"(Bechdel 93) Bechdel states that Marcel Proust is a bigger pansy than her father(Bechdel 93). Proust…

ticks towards demise, awaiting their final hour as the pendulum scythes back and forth. The title of the literary biography "In Search of Lost Time" dramatically illustrates Marcel Proust 's own motivation for meaning; A urgent yearning to stop wasting hours, days, or years, and start celebrating every second of existence. Marcel 's search of time lost drives him to three…

Fun Home: A Literary Comparison Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel is formed by her contradictions and paradox between outward appearance and there meaning. The nature of Fun Home is written as a literary piece rather than an autobiography in which Bechdel recounts her life though other works of literature. Bechdel is able to compare her life to other works of writing by using allusions and symbolisms. Rather than describing her book as an autobiography, Bechdel considers her book a piece of…

In order grasp the meaning and get a comprehensive insight into Auerbach’s Mimesis I see the need to scrutinize the backgrounds of the author’s inspiration and circumstances of the process of writing, together with the historical context of the work in what it figures (e.g. suppression based on his Jewish heritage, his further exile, controversial issues with the Nazi philological grounds etc.), as I feel my knowledge are rather general and arbitrary on this matter, as a result this lack may…

There is a quote by Marcel Proust where he states that “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”. I’d like to begin this project by using this as a point of reference for my analysis of a journal entry of scientific advancement. The reason I chose this particular quote is because it is very fitting for how some scientific discoveries come to be, especially when statistics are involved. Statistics have allowed for correlations to be made and for…

Byatt is certainly familiar with and clever at handling these newer critical approaches, as the more academic stretches of Possessions demonstrate. However, she remains committed to the idea that literature has a moral dimension, and that language can in fact get abstract truths and felt experience. As she says of her days at Cambridge, she learned that writing “was taught, in order to make the world better, more just, more discriminating.” Reflecting back on her experience at “Leavis…
