What is a triple self-portrait? The reader inquiring about this subject should refer to Charles Rosen's and Henri Zerner's passage, Triple Self-Portrait. Written in 1960, it is a passage about somewhat clever self-portrait painted by a man painting a self-portrait of the reflection of himself , Rockwell, in the mirror. Although this incredibly dull passage is small in size, it is packed with interesting topics somewhat. Interesting, right?…

Another interesting series in the collection is “Daily Photographs” from 1969-70. Blumberg simply photographed newspaper stories, focusing on political, social and commercial events regarding the Vietnam War. Those pictures are shows moving and patriotic moments. The photographer definitely shows in this work that he loves his country. The point of photographing newspapers was to consolidate those important moments, because information on newspapers most times is fleeting moments. People usually read it and the get rid of it, and by taking a photo of it the photographer capture the moment for longer.…
Representative and Senator John C. Calhoun, a Democrat who represented South Carolina’s 6th congressional district, was a good Congressman because he was a skilled orator and helped pass laws that promoted economic and national stability; however, his defense for slavery and support for the unconstitutional act of nullification proved to be dangerous to the Union. After being elected into the House of Representatives in 1810, he pushed for the war against Britain by drafting the war bill which Congress approved in June 1812. During his ardent efforts to assist in the war of 1812, Calhoun realized the need for stronger national defenses and began opposing troop reductions and started advocating for additional military service academies. He also promoted protective tariffs and…
In this reading, Shawn Michelle Smith writes about W.E.B. Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk and Du Bois’ photographs.

In the 1960s an art movement known as Pop Art had begun. Pop art was meant to be simple to aid the audience in creating their own interpretations of the pieces. Two of the leading artists were Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Warhol was a fan of women, unlike Warhol, Lichtenstein was inspired by culture; their paintings are both pieces of Pop Art but they are different because Warhol’s paintings are mostly of women and Lichtenstein’s are of famous cartoon characters.

Although both artists used Pop art, they had several differences in their artwork such as one being a real public figure while the other is a…

Photorealism originated in the United States in the mid-1960s in the wake of the Vietnam War. It is an international art movement involving the precise reproduction of a photograph in paint or the replicating of real objects in sculpture. The name Photorealism (also known as Hyperrealism or Superrealism) was coined in reference to those artists whose work depended heavily on photographs, which they often projected onto canvas allowing images to be replicated with precision and accuracy. Photorealism complicates the concept of realism by successfully mixing together that which is real with that which is unreal to a degree not previously achieved prior to it. The exactness was often facilitated further by the use of an airbrush, which was originally designed to retouch photographs. Being entirely representational, photorealism art is a natural counter to contemporary abstraction. Therefore, their canvases remain distanced from reality, both literally and figuratively.…

Different types of bullets, guns, cannons, and new technologies like morse code definitely affected the war and changed the strategies different sides would use as time went on. Even small newfound inventions such as photography had an impact on the war, and especially helped us to better understand what the Civil War was really like.…
Photography has been around for over 150 years. It has evolved and expanded since it’s introduction in 1839 but it still remains to be seen as the perfect medium for documenting reality. Art critic and author Andy Grundberg tried to understand the medium in 1974, stating that “photography was still perceived primarily as an instrument of social reality, able to represent the way things really were in the world.” As technologies changed, so did cameras and photographers were able to produce more realistic images for magazines and newspapers. Because photographs were able to uncover the so-called ‘truth’, when it became known that many historical photographs were fakes and had actually been manipulated to look a certain way, this caused uproar…
