mystery and so on. But this is only recent development. There is a lot more to it than most people think. From a French man named Vidocq to the creation of modern detective fiction by Edgar Allan Poe‚ until today’s development of detective stories and its characters. So what made Poe such an important figure in detective fiction history‚ and in what way did his creation develop after his death? In my study I will try to answer these questions to the best of my capabilities. People started to take

One of the most frequent and well-known subjects of van Gogh’s paintings was the artist himself. Van Gogh initially considered the idea of portrait painting as practical and one of the most consistent ways for an artist to provide for themselves and to buy supplies to continue their work‚ “I should succeed in replacing in goods the money spent…then‚ something practical I can do is portrait painting.” (van Gogh.) As van Gogh’s finances ran low‚ he was no longer able to pay models to pose for his portraits

Van Gogh is a widely famous artist of the late 1880s. He is most famous for his work Starry Night. Born in 1853‚ Vincent’s artistic career started in his twenties after having many different types of careers (Living with Art 11). From being a student to a preacher to a bookseller‚ he finally found a life of art (Van Gogh Museum). He seemed to have struggled greatly with self-esteem and self-worth‚ as he struggled with many women in his short time and‚ as his work shows‚ his art follows his path of

I really enjoy this video‚ but I stay with two main ideas that really change my point of view of Vincent Van-Gogh. Suffer so that others do not suffer. This idea amazed me‚ I didn´t know that Van-Gogh was a man that loved to help people and that dedicate most of his life predicating the word of God

Jan van Eyck Many artistic people show symbolism in many different ways. Jan van Eyck demonstrated an immense ability in this area. Although Jan Van Eyck’s date of birth is unclear‚ c. 1395 or sometime before this date is widely accepted as a best guess. For this time‚ he was one of the most advanced artists‚ especially because of the details in which he used. The specific type of art that Jan van Eyck did was oil paintings. Next to nothing is known about Jan van Eyck’s brother.

can be a creator but looking through the Van Gogh letters I see an ingenious person throughout the letters and the life he lived. An innovative person is “Willing to take a chance- to go out on a limb (S. I. Hayakawa‚ Page 1)” in many aspects of their lives. When taking a look at the Van Gogh letter he writes “I asked M. Peytron point-blank‚ since you are going to Paris‚ what would you say if I suggested that you be kind enough to take me with you (Van Gogh Letter 605‚ page2)” In this statement

The Annunciation is a particularly good showpiece for van Eyck’s obsession with the texture of fabrics: both the Virgin Mary and Gabriel are swathed in lavish robes that fold and hang with surreal‚ wholly gratuitous complexity. Van Eyck painted clothes‚ a critic once observed‚ the way other artists paint mountain ranges. The problem is‚ once you get past the first wash of amazement the painting becomes reticent and impersonal. The Annunciation is one of the most frequently painted subjects in Christian

The question is whether it is possible to distinguish between fantasy and true science fiction. I am reminded of the analogy‚ attributable I believe‚ to Theodore Sturgeon‚ of the elf ascending vertically the side of a brick wall. In a science fiction story the knees of the elf would be bent‚ his center of gravity thrown forward‚ his stocking cap hanging down his neck‚ with his feet quite possibly equipped with some form of suction cups. In a fantasy‚ on the other hand‚ the elf would simply stride

science fiction. Many times I have seen a sci-fi movie filed under comedy or drama. That is one of the major things that has led to my love for science fiction‚ the simple fact that it can be so much more than just science fiction. I would like to present a definition of what science fiction is in this paper. My definition will not be exact‚ because so many people have a different idea of what counts as sci-fi and‚ not only that‚ but we may have found yet another venue for science fiction by the time
