As I walked through the extensive collection of paintings‚ drawings ‚ and sculptures‚ many of the pieces caught my eye. The museum was divided into different chronological periods so that one could see the evolution of art and the themes that were

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

The artwork that I chose was “In Front Of A Nightclub “ by Jeff Wall. The photograph immediately caught my interest due to it size and the variety that the picture presented . The picture depicts a scene outside of a nightclub. There are a few people congregated by the entrance while the others are walking outside. I initially thought of the photograph as a scene of a normal sidewalk with and entrance to a certain place. To me the artist seemed to be conveying the grittiness and contrast of everyday

Many people believe that the Jews were the only race that suffered during the Holocaust and the reign of Hitler‚ but this is not the case. Non-Jewish people also suffered hardship during this time period‚ almost as much as the Jews themselves endured. The number of casualties they had surpasses those

Parallel Journeys was a book that I bought several years ago while attending the Belfer II Conference at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. At the time‚ I was in the process of trying to develop a syllabus for a Holocaust Literature elective course at my high school; and‚ after speaking with many Mandel Fellows‚ I decided to purchase certain books (at their recommendations) to review as possible inclusions for my course. As we know‚ time tends to be something precious and fleeting‚ and

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. The two examples I chose were "Nessus and Dejanira" from the Baroque period and "Loving Couple" from Eastern India. The reason I chose these two specifically is because they both involved a man and a woman‚ making it more interesting

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. It shows a tavern scene in which peasants are dancing‚ drinking‚ singing and playing cards. It is a unique example
