Harrison Bergeron: Relationship Between Arts And Societies
Arts and societies
The relationship between arts and society is obvious. Harrison Bergeron written by Kurt Vonnegut is a great story but also a great example of this relationship. That story shows us how big influence the arts have on our lives and how much they can affect the way we see the world. In general, arts can show us different point of views and that way change our opinions. For that reason, I would say that arts do not only reflect the world and the situations in our societies but the artists behind these art pieces are also trying to get attention to things they think are important. Maybe in Harrison Bergeron the message is that we should not confuse the word difference between the word inequality because although inequality could

    Andy Berger Rebel Without A Cause

    Through the use of bright “modern” neon colors, the character's physique and posture, and adaptation of modern “pop-art” style, the artist portrays the message of rebelling against the classical American society's norms and promotes the importance of trying new things. The painting oozes with bright colors and happiness, but behind all that sends one important message. The message of not being afraid to stand out. Berger, a world-known art critic, had this belief that pictures help us jump to conclusions before words can. We tend to believe what our eyes see, more than what our mind reads.…

    Czeslaw Milosz Research Papers

    As individuals in this world, we are all affected and captured by different things. There will be moments in which we get a grasp of who we are or for a moment we let go of the thought of ourselves and fully appreciate what is in front of us. Czeslaw Milosz states that “art liberates and purifies, and its tokens are those short moments when we look at a beautiful landscape forgetting about ourselves, when everything that concerns us disappears, is dissolved, and it does not matter whether the eye that looks is that of a beggar or a king.” Milosz describes how impactful art may be and it should not matter whether the viewer is of a certain class, race, gender, etc. Art has the power to fully capture us and in that moment we obtain an experience we have never felt before, one in which we are…

    Response Paper for Art

    Throughout history there have been works of art that describe the way society was functioning, who had the power and how everyday life was in general. Artists have always created works of art that mean something to them that they either have seen or recreated their own impression of the way they have seen it. Now when it comes to artist having the right to create works of art to force political, social, and philosophical beliefs, I believe they are allowed to because every person is different. People are going to believe what they feel is true to them. When an artist makes art that shows their views on the social class, and shows who has more power, people might even disagree on what the artist created. For example: the pyramids in Egypt reflected the immense power that the pharaohs who demanded such force within the people that lived there in that time. Pg. 54) By that being said, I don’t believe that the pharaohs had much of a great power, there were enough people living in that time where there could have been defiant which have a lot more control over the way pharaoh competed things.…

    sonny's blues

    One such example of the relationship between art and life and the differences in its perceptions came in the form of a whistled tune from the lips of a high school student. The narrator of the story (a high school algebra teacher in Harlem who is upset after discovering that his younger brother, Sonny, was arrested in a drug bust) describes the tune as “at once very complicated and very simple, it seemed to be pouring out of him as though he were a bird, and it sounded very cool and moving through all that harsh, bright air, only just holding its own through all those other sounds” (Baldwin 2). This tune embodied the artist’s life’s experiences. The narrator described the high school students as growing up quickly and finding themselves restrained by the possibilities their lives offered (Baldwin 1). He saw them as enraged, living in darkness, and “at once more together than they were at any other time, and more alone” (Baldwin 1). The paradoxes of the whistler’s life—growing while restrained, and together while alone—display themselves through his art, which managed to be both very complicated and very simple. Of course, this is not to say that the artist intended to convey these things through his song. The narrator’s perceptions were shaped by both his experiences and present emotions.…

For a little background, the sanctuary of Hekate was structured in the second half of the BC in Lagina Lagina was occupied by a single sanctuary at the time. The only people who lived on the site were people who lived in the temples. Hekate has a conspiracy over her origin. She first appeared in the literature, the Theogany. In this entry of poems, she had the the second most spaces dedicated her poem, being only after Zeus. This shows the relevance and impact she had in the Greek world, at the time.

    French Rococo Era Painter, 1703-1770 Francois Boucher seems to have been perfectly attuned to his times, a period which had cast off the pomp and circumstance characteristic of the preceding age of Louis XIV and had replaced formality and ritual by intimacy and artificial manners. Boucher was very much bound to the whims of this frivolous society, and he painted primarily what his patrons wanted to see. It appears that their sight was best satisfied by amorous subjects, both mythological and contemporary. The painter was only too happy to supply them, creating the boudoir art for which he is so famous. Boucher was born in Paris on Sept. 29, 1703, the son of Nicolas Boucher, a decorator who specialized in embroidery design. Recognizing his sons artistic potential, the father placed young Boucher in the studio of François Lemoyne, a decorator-painter who worked in the manner of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Though Boucher remained in Lemoynes studio only a short time, he probably derived his love of delicately voluptuous forms and his brilliant color palette from the older masters penchant for mimicking the Venetian decorative painters.…

    While walking through the Philadelphia Museum of Art, trying to decide which piece I should do further research on and write a paper on, I discovered The Crucifixion, with the Mourning Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist”. This is oil on panel painting by Rogeier van der Weyden in the Netherlands (historical name,15th-16th century), Europe in 1460. The time period that this was made in was Early Italian Renaissance. It is 71 x 73 3/8 inches. The vibrant colors in this painting is so enthralling that I could not help but be interested about it.…
