In “Willy Covari (Brazzaville)” photographer Daniele Tamagni shows a very interesting character in the streets on Brazzaville‚ the capitol city of the Republic of the Congo. Tamagni created a series of images all depicting men in Brazzaville who dress up in eccentric clothes that contrast the grey poverty stricken world they live in. The photo itself is very aesthetically pleasing. The photo shows a crowded street‚ with decrepit buildings and people in regular every day attire. The man who is the

Over Thanksgiving break I attended The St. Louis Art Museum‚ or SLAM‚ as it is affectionately known by the locals. I focused on the Later European Art‚ especially from the Netherlands‚ because I find it captivating and unique. The first painting I studied was called Peasants Dancing in a Tavern by Adriaen van Ostade. The artwork was done in 1659 in the Netherlands as a genre scene.

East Indian Sculpture and Baroque sculpture: How are they different and how are they similar? After circling the museum for an hour‚ bouncing from security guard to security guard (trying to find my way to the baroque sculptures) I was finally able to answer that question.

My Worst Vacation Ever The purpose of the first leg of our ill-fated trip was to attend my sister-in-law’s wedding in a tiny suburb of Nuremburg called Weilersbach. Weilersbach is an adorable little town where men push empty wheelbarrows and women stand on their doorsteps sweeping nothing. I assume that the town was bombed during the war‚ but the Germans have restored it to what it looked like when gingerbread men roamed the earth. There are several businesses‚ quite a few homes and a windowless
