Cotopaxi By Frederic Edwin Church
In conclusion, Frederic Edwin Church was one of the most effective American artists during 1850 to 1875. Cotopaxi is one of Church’s magnificent series paintings about Cotopaxi landscape. The artist used analogous colors, proportional space and implied activities to emphasize the main contents and develop the impression of motions. Approximate toward the end of 18th century, the Romanticism movement, which originally from Europe, used humble and romantic style to reproduce the natural wonders, influenced the artist. Consequently, aside from introducing Americas to a different and eye opening idea of the Ecuador countryside, the painting embodies an innovation of American Art

    It was not only the United States and Europe that were touched by Modernism; Latin America was also feeling the effect of this shift in the art world during the beginning of the 20th century. While beginning to achieve some level of independence from its European occupiers, Latin American and its artists were embracing Modernism which fit well with the mixed race cultures of this region. The indigenous peoples of Mexico, for instance, endured a brutal occupation by the Spanish starting in 1521 by Hernán Cortés(1485 - 1547) until the Mexican revolution(1910-1920) after which the indigenous peoples were honored and encourage to become educated. One of the artists discussed in this paper is Diego Rivera(1886-1957) who was a champion of these native peoples. This paper will compare Zapatista Landscape (1915) by Diego Rivera and Three Musicians (1921) by Pablo Picasso(1881-1973).…

    Panos Ioannides wrote a story about loyalty, friendship and irony, which he called, simply, "Gregory." The story takes place in Cypriot prisoner of war camp, during their war with Britain, from the perspective of a Cypriot guerrilla. An English prisoner named Gregory develops Stockholm syndrome, where the captor and captured form a positive bond. When his execution is ordered the guerrilla's must choose between their friend and their loyalty to their country. The irony of it is that no one ever checked up on the orders to have Gregory killed. Gregory had two separate opportunities to escape, but he didn't take either of them. The situational irony of it is that that cost him his life. The first opportunity to escape was when the guerrilla's leave the camp and the sentry falls asleep, they returned to find Gregory was still there. The soldiers joke later asking why he didn't run away. "Where would I go in this freezing weather? I'm OK here." Gregory replied. Ironicaly that decision cost him his life instead of saving it like he thought. This also shows that Gregory is developing Stockholm syndrome, because he thinks he's "OK' with the guerrilla's. The second opportunity is after they got the execution order. The guerrilla's sent him, alone, to do laundry while they decided what to do with the orders. Subconsciously they sent him out in hopes that he would run away and they wouldn't have to kill him, but he was naive and did their laundry as asked believing they wouldn't kill him. In this part of the story the narrators loyalty to his country is being tested as well as his friendship with Gregory. Another example of situational irony is when a scorpion is crawling up the narrator's leg and Gregory kills it with his bare hands. If he hadn't killed that scorpion he might have lived because the executioner would be dead. The story "Gregory" is a test of one man's loyalty and friendship in an ironical situation. Before he shoots Gregory the narrator makes a statement…
