Edgar J. Brown Biography
Edgar J. Brown is the artist that inspires me the most. I chose him because like Edgar I too have a fascination with sports. From a young age Edgar grew up in a family that was very sport oriented. From baseball, football too basketball and pretty much anything competitive they watched it, or played it. But sports were not the only talent young Edgar possessed. He was extremely good at drawing and painting. The paintings were mostly super hero related throughout his child. As he reached his high school years tough Edgar learned to combined his love for both sports and art to create some of the most amazing and captivating portraits of our greatest athletes.
After doing some research and viewing some pieces done by Edgar J. Brown I can honestly

    Because he’s style of art creates a unique feeling that a lot of other artists don’t have. Salvador Dali played a huge role in the surrealist movement from the early 1900’s. Not only being regarded arguably as one of the best artists of all time but is certainly one of the most influential artists even to surrealist artwork in today’s day and age. I think that the varying themes of the paintings shows great skill in both photo realism and abstract art which is highly respected and is one of the most admirable features of Salvador…

    The Enigma of John Brown

    • 1504 Words
    • 7 Pages

    John Brown was an American abolitionist, born in Connecticut and raised in Ohio. He felt passionately and violently that he must personally fight to end slavery. This greatly increased tension between North and South. Northern mourned him as a martyr and southern believed he got what he deserved and they were appalled by the north's support of Brown. In 1856, in retaliation for the sack of Lawrence, he led the murder of five proslavery men on the banks of the Pottawatomie River. He stated that he was an instrument in the hand of God. On October 16, 1859, he led 21 men on a raid of the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His plan to arm slaves with the weapons he and his men seized from the arsenal was thwarted, however, by local farmers, militiamen, and Marines led by Robert E. Lee. Within 36 hours of the attack, most of Brown's men had been killed or captured. Brown was hanged on Dec. 2, 1859. He became a martyr for many because of the dignity and sincerity that he displayed during his popular trial. Before he was hanged he gave a speech which was his final address to the court that convicted him. And he was thankful to Bob Butler for letting him send that text in electronic form. "This court acknowledges, too, as I suppose, the validity of the law of God. I see a book kissed, which I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New Testament, which teaches me that all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me, I should do even so to them. It teaches me, further, to remember them that are in bonds as bound with them. I endeavored to act up to the instruction. I say I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done, as I have always freely admitted I have done, in behalf of his despised poor, I did not wrong but right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingles my blood further with the blood of my children and…

Brown escaped slavery with the assistance of a Quaker named William Wells, and took his name as a result. Brown spent several years helping slaves escape to Canada while working on a steamboat, the same way Glen and Melinda escaped the United States. With the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, Brown escaped to England where he wrote several novels including Clotel, one of the first recorded African American novels.

    Brown: The Last Discovery of America completes Richard Rodriguez 's three-volume work in which he explains and explores the ethnic and racial future of America. In this particular book, the author defines the color brown not as the representation of the Hispanic race but as the color of the future. Black, white, yellow, the author explains, are incorrect racial categories for it is not how nature works. Nature yearns for combination of all different colors, and brown is the final result. In the chapter "Hispanics," as seen through imagery, personification, and humor, Richard Rodriguez upsets the reader to show that racial categorization is unfit and that racial barriers are meant to be broken.…
