- 17783: Kazimir Malevich
- ... no reference at all to reality. Great solid diagonals of color in Suprematism are floating free, their uncompromising sides denying them any connection with the real world. This is a pure abstract painting, the artist's main theme being the internal movements of the personality. The theme has no precise form, and Malevich had to search it out from within the visible expression of what he felt. Malevich described Suprematism at ... form. Suprematism embodies a fundamentally different approach to the entire concept of artistic creativity. To discover what is involved one might start with the "Black Square", the original statement of Suprematism. Black Square is Malevich’s most significant Suprematist painting. In the minds of his contemporaries this painting acquired the force of a magical formula. Within the square of the canvas is a square depicted with the expressiveness of the new ... white, light and color tonal treatment. The black square stands out sharply against its evenly light-toned background, which is perceived by the spectator as infinite space devoid of any point of reference.

The black square's surface exists as discrete space on a the white, except that it appears to be infinitely remote because the ...
- 17784: Caravaggio
- Caravaggio Art has been called a visual dialogue, for though the object itself is mute, it expresses its creator's intention just as surely as if he were speaking to us. For there to be a dialogue, however, our active participation is required. If we cannot literally talk to a work of art, we can ... will be considered, for in it Caravaggio, painting in the genre style, depicts the Madonna as a prostitute or as his contemporary Bellori describes her as "a swollen corpse of an ordinary dead woman". Caravaggio's label as a naturalist placed him in the context of a religious movement in the midst of the Catholic hierarchy.

- 17786: The Awakening and The Scarlet Letter: Struggles of the Heroines
- The Awakening and The Scarlet Letter: Struggles of the Heroines "You are the product of your environment." This statement is thought to be correct by a large number of people. In Kate Chopin’s The Awakening and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the heroine in each novel realizes the identity which society wishes to project upon them. This realization brings about a want for change and growth in both Edna Pontellier and Hester Prynne. The Awakening and The Scarlet Letter reflect the culture of their respective eras and show the struggle of the heroines to break free from these conditions. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Louisiana’s Creole culture was a very strict, but well accepted part of the society-a lifestyle to most. There were however many societal allowances made for men over women. Chopin captures the feel of Creole ...
