¶ … Life with a Hare
The painting entitled "Still Life with a Hare," painted by Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin in 1730, is typical for its time in that hunting scenes were quite popular in Europe during this time period, especially in France, but the piece is atypical in its simplicity and tone. Whereas most traditional pieces in this genre depict the game, bloodied and slaughtered amidst hunting implements and the hunter who brought the creature down, this piece instead contains just the hare and a couple of hunting implements: a horn powder flask and hunting bag.
Chardin created what are considered some of the greatest still-life paintings of the eighteenth century, and he chose his subject matter quite deliberately. He was averse to hunting and apparently wanted to express in his paintings the feeling that while he did not share his countrymen's passion for the hunt, he could...
Chardin's painting is subdued in tone. It does not depict the conquering of nature by man, rather it depicts man's partnership in nature. Just as Native Americans gave thanks in a quiet ceremony both before and after a hunt, honoring the spirit of the animal whose fate it was to die that day, so, too, does Chardin clearly pay homage to the slain hare by depicting it in such a simple, direct fashion.
This painting currently hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and was created on canvas using oil paints. It is almost monochromatic in tone, with its various hues of brown, and the colors are subdued and simple.

illegal drugs and why they should be legalized. It is not that Block and Steinbeck disagree about making drugs legal, but that they disagree about why that should be done. Block's argument is mostly economic in nature, while Steinbeck's argument is much more geared toward the reduction of overcrowding in prisons. She argues that much of the crime that is related to drugs is because those drugs are illegal
Pissarro took a special interest in his attempts at painting, emphasizing that he should 'look for the nature that suits your temperament', and in 1876 Gauguin had a landscape in the style of Pissarro accepted at the Salon. In the meantime Pissarro had introduced him to Cezanne, for whose works he conceived a great respect-so much so that the older man began to fear that he would steal his
The picture is indeed emerging here of Freud as a chauvinist, perhaps (in the opinion of this paper) suffering from some testosterone imbalance himself; and perhaps, as Mahony writes on page 33 of his journal article, Freud was projecting his "male-bound wishes and fantasies" when he imagined that at the moment Mr. K first accosted Dora and "pressed his erection against her" she then experienced "an analogous change" (Freud's quote)
eventually embarks upon. Even though Michael K. is physically unattractive, not highly intelligent, and not blessed with worldly goods, he emerges as a kind of hero in the book. Even though he has limited means of opposition to the sweeping power of the war and chaos about him, Michael K. still manages to become a clear symbol of resistance to war and personal choice.

father's death and her father requesting that treatment be accorded him so that he speedily is delivered from his pain, Ms. Wolf is faced with the dilemma of whether or not to accede.

Ultimately, nature, as she puts it, helped her out
