Analysis of ‘Portrait of Mother III’ by David Hockney. David Hockney painted his mother many times after studying art at the Bradford school of art. I am not sure that this specific painting provides a story but maybe the whole group of paintings of his mother at different times and in different styles does tell a story.

The dictionary definition of the word “idol” is “someone you

Q. Critically comment on the autobiographical element in the novel ‘Sons and Lovers’ supporting your argument with valid textual and critical point of view. ‘Sons and Lovers’ is among one of the most autobiographical works of English Literature. D. H. Lawrence spent a troubled life in terms of relationships‚ economic conditions and the lack of a normal household. The novel mirrors its author in this respect.

Themes The Development of Individual Consciousness the most famous aspect of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce’s innovative use of stream of consciousness‚ a style in which the author directly transcribes the thoughts and sensations that go through a character’s mind‚ rather than simply describing those sensations from the external standpoint of an observer. Joyce’s use of stream of consciousness makes A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man a story of the development of Stephen’s mind

The life of an artist stems from the originality of their art; however‚ sometimes the public does not understand or appreciate the art the artist dedicated wholeheartedly to. A Hunger Artist by Franz Kafka explored the ambition of an artist to achieve a feat no one had ever accomplished before‚ but instead of receiving admiration from the spectators the artist is faced with a cold response. The hunger artist used fasting as a form of artistic endeavor for his own liking‚ but the art is soon turned

The Changing Status of the Artist At the beginning of the fifteenth century‚ the social status of the artist was far below that of those who hired them. According to Michael Baxandall in his book‚ Painting and Experience in the Fifteenth Century Italy‚ in the eyes of the social elite—the Catholic Church and the noblemen—that hired them‚ artists were closer to servants or tradesmen who provided them with goods and services on a “bespoke basis” than creative and independent geniuses.

Should the government support artists or should artists support themselves? As imagination and origination serve as twin towers in art‚ artists should be relatively free and out of control from the government. Therefore‚ people are often provided with the illusion that artists are supposed to finance themselves to avoid such limitation. In my view‚ however‚ without the financial support from the government people cannot have convenient and accessible way to enjoy the art‚ which is a necessity for
