Arts

Throughout the history of art, there have been various movements which counteracted the other in response to their style. The topic would question what cultural reasons were behind this.

This article would be a survey of how people have exploited social media in a way that connects high concepts with popular culture. Twitter accounts like KimKierkegaardashian, and comedy posts for Buzzfeed such as "47 Thoughts Everyone Has While Crossing The Rubicon To Invade Rome" are a couple examples off the top of my head. The article would display how different social media platforms work as a gallery for digital art and commentary.

For example, A Pure Formality written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore would make an awesome play. And I was hoping that someday the film 'The Breakfast Club' would be adapted into a play.

Curiosity behind the such contractual agreements such as a flat fee, commission, residuals, or franchise profits, etc. It would be interesting to know who requests what and if it benefits them financially, socially or is it a humanitarian motivation.

Some items that help to make the film successful is the timing of the release of the film, the public relations campaign, and tours of talks shows to promote the film. Can the cultural climate affect the politics of films that win awards, such as wars, religion, and challenged legislations?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s flower series are detailed magnifications of countless plants that force the observer to notice common subjects in a way that enhances their wonder. However, today her paintings are synonymous with the female reproductive organ and little else. It is challenging to deny that there is no sensuality in her flowers, as the subject itself is sensuous and beautiful, but it is important to understand the origin and context of that interpretation.

During her career, O’Keeffe moved from pure abstraction, abstraction of recognizable subjects, to representation. This change in methodology may have occurred after the characterization of her work as overtly sexual. The promotion of her art by Alfred Stieglitz and the predominance of men in the art world portrayed her work as first and foremost a female creation. Stieglitz called her art “the expression of a sexually liberated woman” and said she “receives the World through her Womb.”

Even though she painted a subject matter that her male colleagues would have deemed appropriate for a woman, she was still chastised for her innovations, which they said had “promiscuous qualities.” This was not lost on O’Keeffe herself who once stated, “The men like to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I’m one of the best painters.”

This post will explore the development of Georgia O’Keeffe’s art throughout her lifetime and the way it was received by Stieglitz and the men in the art world who felt threatened by it.

Technology has created a television giving viewers a roadmap towards every detail of the actor's skin and hair. Lace front wigs are no longer undetectable, and the thick theater style makeup looks blatant. Actors are typically vein, how is the hair and makeup industry dealing with new television technology?
