The Art of War

Hitler’s power. Media and arts were used to show people who the “bad guys” were and who to side with (“Donald Versus Hitler” 31). Artist’s used their art to express how they felt about politics by making fun of leaders they didn’t like, such as the infamous Adolf Hitler. They used propaganda and eventually their opinionated art works caused new art to form. Politics affecting art movements during and post World War II was very important because new art movements, such as popular art, came out of…

violence—whatsoever—is absent, then only one’s imagination is left, and vice versa. And his reasoning for war of a “pressure of events” is spot on, but this leads me to a disagreement. I disagree in his unbridled claim of their only being a binary choice between “Imagination or violence” and “Art or war.” There is argument to say that many have found art in war, and have created war within art. The two binary systems that Goddard proposes could very well contain an “and” instead of an “or.”…

The American Civil War, or most likely to be known as The Civil War, was the United States of America’s most bloodiest war. Around 620,000 American citizens were killed, with millions more ending up wounded. American art was truly changed during and after this gruesome war. The Civil War caused artist 's’ inspiration to drastically turn dark and have deeper meanings than before. Photographers and the first cameras were around during the Civil War. However, photographers could not easily…

Other Literary Works While the various literary works such as Uttaradhyayana Sutra and Art of War do affirm Creon’s culpability in the play’s conflict; however, they disagree as to what, specifically, leads to Creon’s downfall. For example, two works, Uttaradhyayana Sutra and the Art of War both vastly differ. While the Uttaradhyayana Sutra focuses more on the individual disconnecting from the world, the Art of War places a focus on ultimately winning. Due to literary works often having…

Sun Tzu’s theories in the “Art of War” demonstrate an erroneous belief in the separation of political and military strategy. This is evident in the execution of the king’s concubines and Sun Tzu’s five circumstances that can predict victory. General Robert Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis’ inability to commit to a course of action in the South, proved insurmountable. Germany’s Military Leadership in World War One clearly should have advised against military action and sought a…

In the article “Art as Spoils of War” I read about how artwork has been stolen from museums in the past. Although museums are wonderful places for artwork, there are some pros and cons about these particular places. Artwork shown in a museum can be very interesting for people that love artwork and history, there they can learn about the artwork, study it, research it, and inspire a person to go further with their research and studies, but as a person can enjoy the art this way another can be…

Sun Tzu, born in 496 BC, was a high-ranking Military General and was also considered a master of strategy, he took his learnings and knowledge and condensed them into a book in 510 BC. This book has had many translations to the English language, but each version has repeating main points these points being broken down into 13 chapters- each…

Military deception has been used throughout history to thwart the enemy during battle. The Art of War by Sun Tzu discusses strategies that emphasize the concept of deception as a critical war tactic. Military deception is considered a type of psychological warfare and employs many unconventional methods including visual deceptions and misinformation. Before and during the Invasion of Normandy in World War II, one of the largest deceptions in military history was executed. By using this…
