Why do Keynesian economists believe market forces do not automatically adjust for unemployment and inflation?…
Neo- mercantilist policy had an enormous effect in transforming the nation. One huge effect neo-mercantilistic policy had was on manufacturing. Previously large loans were only accessible to farmers. However, after the Bank of North American was catheter merchants had much more access to the same loans and funds that the farmers did. Eventually, when state banks were chartered bad banking policies caused the Panic of 1819 which drove down land prices and caused a decline in a farmer’s income. Due to this, there was an increase in rural manufacturing in which various artisans sold their products to a wider market. Merchants were able to buy materials, hire previous farmers to process them, and then sell the finished product. Manufacturing began…
De Stijl architecture was formed by a group of young artists who created the new movement in 1917; calling both the movement and the magazine they published De Stijl. The group promoted utopian ideals and group members believed in the birth of new age in the wake of WWI. They felt it was a time of balance between individual and universal values. The work was completely abstract as well. The goal was total integration of art and life.…

Lexy Immerman ARTH 111: Survey II 10/15/14 Emil Nolde and Degenerate Art In 1941, the Nazi government classified Emil Nolde’s Modernist style as “degenerate,” and forbade him to paint. Nazi oppression influenced the work of Emil Nolde, making the watercolors and oil paints he produced during his time in isolation emblematic of Degenerate Art, modernism, and German Expressionism. Nolde’s Sunflowers in the Windstorm (1943) is one of the few oil paintings he made during his time in isolation in Seebüll, Germany.…
As I strolled the room, I took care to notice every piece of art that was displayed. The van Gogh caught my eye immediately, but, unfortunately, there were restrictions on my ability to write about it. There had to be about forty works in the room. No sooner than I had started to look around again, however, that a second painting caught my eye. I had never seen it before, but something about it looked very familiar. Possibly the brilliant orange glistening over the mind-numbing grays and blues. Or maybe it was the quick brushstrokes that seemed to want to move quickly enough to literally capture the light being emitted from the incandescent sun. Whatever the case, as I stepped closer to the work, I realized what should have been obvious the second I placed my gaze upon it. It was a Monet.…
Jasper Johns was influenced by Marcel Duchamp, who was well-known for his “readymades” – a series of commonplace objects presented as complete artworks. In the opinion of Wallace (2002), Johns’ painting “According to What” has an noticeable relation to Duchamp’s “Tu m’” (1918). Additionally, his famous hallmark, Flag, also revealed that “the story of high-modernism had always been the story of the readymade”. Strongly drawn to the subversive legacy of Marcel Duchamp, Johns revolutionized the art world with a series of everyday items in the mid-1950s and became generally recognized as a key progenitor of Pop Art of the 1960s.…

Mondrian's tree series really worked with the colours, hence the names "Red Tree", "Blue Tree" and "Grey Tree” and these were all painted in an abstract and unique matter. It is also rumoured that Mondrian somehow mimicked style of Van Gogh in his trees series, and this was quite frowned upon in the art world. I also think that the trees were a new way and style that Mondrian found to express his art and from then on became much more abstract, influencing this onto a lot of paintings done later on in Mondrian’s life. This painting was a large part of Mondrian’s artistic growth, so we wouldn’t not of seen much of the great works of Mondrian if it wasn’t for this experimenting.…
Moreover, Cubism turned toward a system of representing bodies that utilizes small planes set in shallow space. In the way that cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should mirror nature, my self-portrait negates any traditional ideas of realistic interpretation of form. Also, I did not adopt traditional techniques of perspective, but rather emphasized two-dimensionality of the paper. My image was fractured and reduced to geometric forms while using multiple vantage points – just as the Cubist painters did. Given these points, my neutral palette recalls Braque’s experiments of composition rather than vivid color. Thus, allowing the viewer to focus on the different views of the subject.…
The argument of color verses design originated in the Baroque, but extended much further into the eighteenth century in terms of theory. Roger de Piles was the father of this argument based on coloris versus disegno and the Poussinists versus the Rubenists and so on. He joined the Academy in 1699, right on the verge of the Rococo and basically formed the argument for color, rather than classical design in his Cours de Peinture par Principes in 1708. Up until Rubens artwork, the classical style of painting was preferred with a focus mainly on “straight lines, right angles, triangular arrangement of forms, balance, symmetry, and so on” (Minor 367). De Piles believed that color appealed more to human’s emotions and that was what truly great art was meant to do. He therefore obviously chose Ruben’s work as superior to Poussin’s. This…
The De Stijl movement was a response to the past, rejecting the forms of old, it provided the world with new form, new experiences. It began a wave of creativity, a rebirth of form, and opened up a realm of nuances. It preceded the modernist movement of the Bauhaus, in which craft and design furthered this rejection of history and expression of from. If Gropius and others were considered the grandfathers of modernism then Rietveld and others are the fathers.…
The industrial revolution caused creative practitioners to re-examine the ways that form and function were applied to everyday objects. Mass production enabled them to reach a wider audience at a lower cost, and many artists used this to their full advantage. Of course, there very different responses to this. In the 20th century, Marcel Duchamp created the term “readymade”. A “readymade” was an ordinary mass-produced object transformed into an artwork merely by the choice of an artist.…

There are some basic theories advanced to describe how language is acquired, learnt and taught. The behaviorist theory, Mentalist theory (Innatism), Rationalist theory (otherwise called Cognitive theory), and Interactionism are some of these theories. Of these, behaviorist theory and mentalist theory are mainly applicable to the acquisition of languages while the rest can account for foreign language acquisition. Yet, these four theories of language acquisition cannot be totally divorced from each other, for "the objectives of second language learning are not necessarily entirely determined by native language competence inevitably serves as a foil against which to set second language learning." (H.H. Stem, .1983; 30).…
