Art Review
The painting “Beck (he/him)” by Eli depicts a queer/trans subject sitting on a bench. The background of the painting is very impressionistic, with foliage and the park behind the subject defined more by color and shade than by edge or boundary. The blurring of borders, however, reflects the blurring of gender in the subject. The subject is somewhat impressionistically portrayed as well—but here there is more focus on edge, more defined boundaries: the limbs and legs and face and features can all be discerned. What is most interesting about “Beck” however is that he is wearing large sunglasses that cover his eyes and create a mysterious effect on the viewer. The eyes are supposed to be the gateways to the soul, and here the viewer is unable to gain access to that soul so must look for meaning in the features of the face, the posture of the body, the lines of the mouth. The mouth itself is dubious: is the subject smiling or grimacing at the viewer? There is a Mona Lisa type of smile going on in “Beck” and it suggests that the subject is seeing something in the viewer and not letting on as to...
The posture of the subject, moreover, is ambivalent: one leg is crossed man-style over the other and the foot is dangled downward—but the shoulders of the subject are small and feminine and the cheeks and neck have a feminine appearance to them. The dubious nature of the subject is what gives the art work its overall mystique.
River Rock, Cathedral by Jay Sousa is a photograph that looks like a painting. Usually it is the painting that confuses the viewer and makes him wonder whether it is a photograph because it is so realistic. Here, Sousa has captured the shimmering impressionistic nature of a reflection of the surrounding rock wall above the river as the surface of the water ripples and causes distortion in the image. Only the line of large, oblong rocks looming slightly out of the water has any stillness to it: the water is full of sky and rock reflections while the actual stones sit like abstract agents in an abstract painting. Yet this is a photograph of nature and one that immediately captures the viewer’s eyes and causes them to be glued to the image. As Sousa himself says, “In my photography I…

Chapter four discusses the enduring genealogy of the TPS by discussing once again its history and the principles behind the movement, autonomation (an emphasis on the people of the organization and how they interact with the machines they use and "just-in-time" the practice of productivity through the kanban system as well as by explaining the internal and external factors that surrounded the model. The chapter places Toyota in the global
The "self-portraits" might perhaps be viewed in terms of the artist's own past illnesses: At 37, Taylor-Woods, having already survived both colon cancer and breast cancer, likely understands, on personal level, the state of "suspense" between sickness and health, life and death. She may, then, have been "bound" to breast cancer (the invisible ropes may symbolize the disease), cured of it, and her body "released to freedom." In my opinion,
Art Museum Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as the old trope goes, and that phrase holds true even when encountering some of the world's "great" art, as I saw in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The Museum itself is massive. It holds more than 450,000 works of art and a recent expansion added 28% more space with an expansion of 133,000 square feet (Dwyer). Within its walls
Arts and Humanities in Rosseau's Second Discourse And Other Pieces Of Work Arts and Humanities in Rousseau's Second Discourse and other Pieces of Work In the second discourse, Rousseau changes progress and decries imprisoning in men, in a fabricated logic of civilization.

Regardless of the type of loss, the child may experience feelings of emptiness, anger, confusion, desertion, and insecurity. In addition, he or she is almost certain to feel responsible, and guilty about the loss he or she has experienced."

21st Century Art Themes The theme for the recently completed exhibition at The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City entitled Making/Breaking: New Arrivals, is innovation. Each of the pieces on display in this exhibit showcase novel concepts related to design, usage, and functionality of an assortment of objects. One of the best examples of this fact is found in Levi’s Commuter Trucker Jacket with Jacquard by Google. There
