    Throughout the late 1920’s many American patrons of the arts had attempted to bring the famous Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera, to the United States for commissioned works. It wasn’t until September of 1930 that Rivera finally arrived in San Francisco to paint. His wife, the famous painter Frida Khalo, whom he had recently married, accompanied him. Fellow artist and instructor at the California Academy of Arts, Ralph Stackpole, had recommended to Timothy Pflueger that he use Rivera for a new project he was working on, the Pacific Stock Exchange. This turned out to be a fruitful relationship with the successful completion of Allegory of California, in the stock exchange building. Nearly 10 years later and his last appearance in the US, Pflueger asked Rivera to return to San Francisco to be part of Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939/40. The fruit of those laborers is his Pan American Unity, the themes of which will be explored in further detail here.…

    Christopher Columbus viewed the “New World” as an inspiring land of beauty, one which seemed flawless in his eyes as he arrived in the month of November. Upon discovery of the land he noted, “All are most beautiful, of a thousand shapes, and all are accessible and filled with trees of a thousand kinds and tall, and they seem to touch the sky.” (Columbus 26) However, for William Bradford the landscape of the “New World” posed many hardships and difficulties. In the eyes of Bradford “the weather was very cold, and it froze so hard the spray of the sea lighting on their coats, they were as if they had been glazed.” (Bradford 63) Faced with two very different views of the “New World” one has to consider who is correct, Columbus or Bradford?…

    In the late 18th century when the Industrial Revolution started to spread from England to other countries such as France, Spain and Germany and even in the U.S, the changes that its dynamic brought to the society were drastic and radically different of what people were used to until then. The work hours become longer; young children and their parents were working most of the time; new factories opened up and old villages now were the main workforce source to keep the production level up to the demand and supply requests. Villages started turning into urban centers, crowded by large number of people; poor people that lived in squalor; dirty environment that was suffering the consequences of the new industrialized era that had come. In a world where everything was changing rapidly, where the trade market and economy where shaping the form that life was taking, there were still people among the crowded urban areas that looked back with nostalgia and respect for what they had before. Longing and striving to keep the romantic past still among them, they turned to pictures and literacy to resolve the matters of heart, resolving mysteries of life and rebelling against the social orders and religion that had taken place. This started an intellectual and artistic movement that raged against the established values of the society and saw nature as a sanctuary to discover self, spiritual satisfaction and finding answers in the magic and the strong beauty of nature. This movement started what is called the Romanticism era. Romantics stood by their essence that emphasized the spirituality, free expression, deep feelings into someone’s life as a form of rebellion against the dehumanizing effects of the industrialization. They strived to trigger an emotional response with their art work; bring the nostalgia for the pastoral life, power of nature and grandeur…

John Bartram was a self-taught man, with a passion for plants, who founded and created the very first botanical garden. William Bartram was especially passionate about furthering his botanical knowledge. Hew was also deeply aware of what would be lost, as the less advanced culture of Native Americans was usurped by the European invasion. Thanks to his insight and the passion he inherited from his father, as well as growing up around his father’s own private botanical garden he was able to preserve this knowledge for us. Using his skills as a botanist and artist he was able to compile information on the use and preparation techniques of many native medicinal botanicals. This has served generations well over the years in to create medicines needed for the sick. By reading the different writing styles of these two important men in American history we are able to not only get a glimpse of what they saw but, also feel a part of their travels as…

    The main reason I chose Diego Rivera is because I want to learn more culture from my country Mexico. In all the years I lived in Mexico I was never exposed to any art history. I didn’t know who Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera were until I started taking Spanish in High School here in the United States. Diego Rivera is famous because of all the murals and frescos he painted through out his life. He was part of the muralist movement in Mexico, as well as the cubist era. I feel like this research has helped me to get to know more about my native country’s history. I will be analyzing Diego Rivera’s Epic of the Mexican People: History of Mexico, The Flower Vendor (Girl with Lilies), Portrait of Martin Luis Guzman, Dia de Los Muertos,…
