    What had happened to him over the years? Once he was running around the studios of New York, working non-stop to meet the next gallery exhibit and from there the drugs to stay up all night. The sex and the fun and the money beginning to come in, he became the bon vivant of the studio set. That was over 10 years ago and now he sat there thinking, the brush now resting on the easel as he said out loud, “success had ruined me.” He was like some sort of Bono wannabe, forced to paint for causes and always going out with syncophants and toadies who worshipped and adored him work.…

    Through my eyes, Edie, a powerful woman from the film On the Waterfront, contradicts the standards of women in the 1940s and 1950s. Most women were seen as “simple consumption machines” whose only job was worrying about “buying new appliances for the kitchen and searching madly for the perfect laundry detergent” written in Gail Collins’ novel “The Feminine Mystique” (Collins 1). In contrast, in the film Rebel Without a Cause, Judy, a high school student represents an ideal figure for women during this era. Now why do I feel this way? When slapped by her father, Judy was tolerant of his actions due to the fact that “submission was perhaps the most feminine virtue expected of women,” (Welter 36). Personally, I am outspoken and would speak up…

    Greater than scene … is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any form. —Eudora Welty, One Writer’s Beginnings I owe a special debt to Jan Nordby Gretlund for his Eudora Welty’s Aesthetics of Place (Odense, Denmark: Odense University Press; Newark: University of Delaware Press, ¡994). Given his extensive and intensive analysis of Welty’s fiction, which he makes in response not only to that fiction but also to the considerable body of historical and critical work that has been done on it, Professor Gretlund establishes both a scholarly and a critical context upon which my speculative concerns depend. It is in the light of his study that I have written what follows, intending to bring to the support of our common concern for literature a metaphysical dimension of concern which I believe appropriate to literary criticism.…

    Andy Warhol founded the art movement called pop art, and his lifestyle and work both mocked and celebrated the world’s obsession with materiality and fame. On one side, his paintings of distorted everyday items and celebrity faces could be seen as a display for what he viewed as a culture consumed with money and being famous. On the other side, his focus on consumer goods and celebrities, and his own fame and fortune, suggest a life in celebration of the aspects of American culture that his work criticized.…

    Andy Warhol, was the creative mind that created pop art. Andy Warhol is a Polish American artist that lived during the twentieth century. Mr. Warhol’s paintings focused on the mass production of commercial goods, as well as under minded the supposed value of art based on the uniqueness of the work. The thing that I enjoy the most about his works is the way that he incorporates silkscreen in order to produce multiples of a single image yet still manages to make each one different and unique in its own special way. He was someone that took inspiration from the people and things that surrounded him and although he was not every well received when he first started out he continued to work and became a very well-known and respected artist.…

    Edmonia Lewis

    Linda Nochlin’s essay Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists, pays critical attention to the way in which we look at art through a gender lens. The question is not whether women are capable of producing great art but rather why have they been kept in the shadows. Nochlins essay is a founding document of feminist art history that explores powerful relationship between gender and art and the history of dynamic tension. Edmonia Lewis is not only an example of a prolific female artist, but is a sculpture of African American and Native American decent. In Lewis’s sculptures we see stylistically neoclassic imagery with an important twist, she puts her own identity at the periphery. Lewis work encompasses themes of religion, freedom and slavery and while she sometimes depicts African, African American and Native American people in her sculptures, she more often neutralized her subjects race or ethnicity which made her art more acceptable to the social norms during the 19th century. In order to achieve professional fulfillment, women during this time had to deny their femininity but for Edmonia Lewis this extended even further into denying her culture, race and identity. Had Lewis not been a woman, had she not have been born from a Chippewa Indian mother nor an African father, would she have been celebrated more for her artistic genius?…

    40-Year-Old Virgin

    • 1012 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Andy's sexual development isn't discussed in depth. The developmental sexual stages of infancy, early childhood, preadolescence, and adolescence are left out of the movie, but several instances are shown in his young adult to adult life in which he was on the verge of doing "it" with girls in college that show him fumbling with the situation. In one instance, he's getting involved with a girl and as they begin foreplay she licks his toes and he kicks her in the face. This obviously kills the mood and inevitably kills his chances of sleeping with the woman. It is assumed that during adolescence and into high school Andy was a loner, and didn't have many friends, and definitely no female friends. This could've led to several crises in Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. He never had the chance to develop skills in adolescence to sustain long term relationships, or become knowledgeable about certain sexual subjects kids learn from one another in social situations. The crisis between identity and role confusion was probably one of the major one's that molded Andy into the person he'd become, simply because he didn't really have career, he just started in an electronics store and never seem to be concerned with doing anything more, until the end of the movie, and also he showed a preference…
