Tommy’s river symbolizes how he views his future: an inevitable march towards donations, and then death. Kazuo Ishiguro’s inclusion of this symbol emphasizes how helpless the clones feel towards their…

I chose to watch “The Girl With a Pearl Earring” for my final movie critique. As I watched this movie, I quickly realized that most of the shots were taken from the waist up. Which lead very little to critique, especially the lower portion of the garments. Regardless, the characters did not have any major costume change or wore any costumes that were distinctive enough to dissect. The main character was a peasant so clearly the garment was very simple with no embellishment. What I decided to…

Masaccio’s influence can be seen in the sombre coloring in most of Carlo’s works. Specifically, this sombreness can be seen in Jolts of a Cab. Giorgio Morandi made many paintings of subtle depictions of subjects that appear to be simple. In Still Life, Carlo…

Founded in Belgium in 1889 and then published in Paris two years later, La Revue blanche disseminated work by avant-garde writers, critics, and artists such as Marcel Proust and Guillaume Apollinaire. The magazine also served as a means for the intelligentsia to discuss social and political issues of the day, most notably the Dreyfus Affair. Its financers were the Natanson brothers – Alexandre, Alfred, and Thadée – who befriended and patronized the Nabis. Bonnard, in particular, became close to…

gothic origin or method. It, unlike many of the mentioned pieces, is not meant to be reflected in a lifelike way at all; rather, many people find it to be impressionist, with its elongated neck and dulled features of cast stone. It, like the Sleeping Muse, never had a body. We do know one thing, though: Lehmbruck intended the gaze of the figure to be provocative, whether that be emotionally or sexually. Besides this, it is assumed that Lehmbruck made this more for the artistic merit of it rather…

In Puritan society, even though education was offered to males and females, the number of Puritan women attending school was lower than the number of Puritan men. It is of our knowledge that Bradstreet was part of the women who received no formal education at all, however her father was well learned and had a large collection of books, therefore she grew up reading in great amounts. Puritans believed in humility, plainness, and different roles of men and women in society. In “The Author to Her…
