The bronze piece on the front is textured or hammered, too, adding another depth of pattern and texture to the work. There is not a lot of intricate detail on the piece, but for some reason it seems detailed, anyway, perhaps because of the size of the piece.
Because this is a three-dimensional work, there is a feeling of space and depth to the piece, too. In fact, the figure seems to be frozen in a moment in time, and commands the space around it. The bronze "shield" on the front in concave, and so gives additional depth and a three-dimensional quality to the piece, and so does the hole in one of the legs. This is not a massive sculpture, but it seems larger than it is because of the use of space and depth to create a fuller, more complete piece of art.
The artist definitely wanted to convey a childlike quality in this piece. It seems Picasso may have been an influence on this artist, and he himself once said, "Form for me is never something abstract,' Mir once said. 'It is always a token of something....'" (Danto). This particular form...
It has its own form of emotion, which makes it even more arresting to the viewer.
Frankly, when I first looked at this piece I thought it was ugly. I am not a particular fan of most modern art, and this resembled a bug or a beast more than it resembled a person. After learning more about the artist and his art, I understood that it is supposed to represent the art of children, and that helped it make a little more sense. I cannot say that I like the piece, but I have a better understanding of what the artist was attempting, and why he created such a unique piece of sculpture.

This brings us to the idea of ideal femininity. What is the ideal woman? What should we expect of the female gender in the new millennium? When comparing the two views above, I would say that Chan's ideal of the woman as one who is worthy of recognition for her efforts in any context is far more valid than that forwarded by Campbell, who creates an emotional victimhood for women.
But sometimes the victims themselves are afraid to voice their grievances in the public because speaking up entails shame, ostracization, and even extra-judicial killings. The victims can express their grievances in public "only at certain times and in certain ways" because their rights are infringed on social and cultural levels (Dewey). The fact that cultural and traditional beliefs and attitudes contribute to violations of women's rights in a systematic manner

North American Women Continue to be the Primary Targets and Consumers of Cosmetic Surgery? In a world in which we are judged by how we appear, the belief that we can change our appearance through cosmetic surgery is liberating to a lot of women. The growing popularity of cosmetic surgery is a testament to society's overrated fixation with appearance. For women living in North America, their appearance is in fact
