The discussion we were to read Los Vendidos, Trifles, and The Rising of the Moon and compare a contrast each play. With how different each play is it seemed simple to contrast them. When comparing these plays its starts with the authors and the time period when they are written. As far as that goes, these plays could not be any more different. They were performed originally 50 years apart, and 1000 miles apart. The plot of each story is also drastically diverse. However, they also share many…

In other words, any artist can create something and call it a “piece of art,” but it does not represent any significance if no one can become inspired by it or see the purpose behind it.

In his declarative and comprehensive texts, Manifestoes of Surrealism, Breton defines for us surrealism and explains the phenomenon in detail so that more can become aware and…

The avant-garde cinema was born out of a ravaged post-World War I Europe in the 1920s. Various visual artists and writers took upon themselves to deride and challenge the conventional notions of plot, character, and setting, as they saw them as limiting and bourgeois. The aim of these artists was to point out how narrative films were artificial as well as contest the notion that there was only one way of filmmaking. “We should also add that internationally, experimental art was at that time…
