Art is something that can be appreciated in several ways. Thanks to the various museums cities have to offer, one can visit numerous places and see exhibitions from various artists. Two such places are the David Zwirner Galley and The Guggenheim. Both places have introduced audiences to interesting and thought-provoking works of art. Four of which will be featured here. The artists of the four works are Robert Crumb and Paul Cezanne.
David Zwirner Gallery is a modern art gallery located in New York City, offering another location in London. Owned by David Zwirner it features of collections of artists like Robert Crumb. For twelve years from 2000-2012, the Gallery was known as Zwirner & Wirth Gallery.
The R. Crumb Art & Beauty exhibition which opened April 15th and ends June 2nd, 2016, is an exhibition featuring various sketches. Lined up in a stark, white room, these black and white sketches are placed in black and white frames in a room that is white with black trim along the edges. The artist features various female athletes amidst impressive feats of athleticism. One of which is Serena Williams. Her bosom and derriere are perky and appear like mountainous peaks as she aims and winds up to smack the tennis ball across the field. The sketch shows the strength and voluptuousness of the female athlete as well as the dynamic movement often seen in sports.

He is also known fairly perverted. Most of his sexual fantasies consist of beefy, muscular, posteriorly ample women. Although some of his work is seen as misogynistic, the series featured in the Gallery and featuring Serena Williams is much more respectful. Monochrome and small, the drawings/sketches reflect the artist's realist, mature style.
The utilization of intense crosshatching and incorporation of appended text adds elements of philosophical contemplations on femininity. It appears oddly sweet, obsessional, with shadows of voyeurism. The piece also shows the level of power a woman can have simply by being herself. Serena Williams is an excellent example of a powerful woman, making a name for herself in sports.
Another piece, with a woman posing with long dark hair and bangs and a vacuum cleaner include a quote about 'Ducky Doolittle'. "Ducky Doolittle is an eccentric New York-based performer and publisher whose bold and striking physique is thrilling to behold even in the mundane act of vacuuming the carpet." This piece shows how perverted the artist is and also his apparent misogynistic streak. Here is a woman with a large backside, posing seductively with a vacuum cleaner because women are expected to clean and maintain the household.
Although the previous piece revered the athlete, this one seems to degrade the…
Disuse atrophy of the muscles is caused by prolonged inactivity, which often occurs after sustaining an injury. Hypertrophy of the muscles is achieved through regular diet and exercise. 1(p127) Two types of training, strength and endurance, greatly increase muscle condition. Strength training increases muscle condition through the use of resistance. While conditioning through resistance will increase the number of myofilaments in muscle fiber and increases muscle size, it will
Muscular System Function of action potentials? The function of action potentials is to rapidly communicate information within a neuron, coupling the neurons "input," either synaptic, sensory or intrinsic stimulation with its output, neurotransmitter secretion. Cell electrical properties are the result of? Cells use atoms that have become charged as a result of gaining, or losing, valency shell electrons. Cells are wet circuits that operate in a salty, conductive, medium. How is the outside surface of
Muscular System The normal anatomy and physiology of a muscle determines its capability of formulating a contraction. The contraction of a muscle is dependent on the ability of a neuron to become excited through a process that includes a concentrated flow of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca+) through the neuron and eventually into the muscle cell (Tortora & Derrickson, 2011). A neuron begins its resting membrane potential at
Skeletal and Muscular Systems: The human body is made of several parts and systems that perform various functions to sustain an individual's life. The skeletal and muscular systems are examples of important systems in the body with various functions. The skeletal system can be described as the body framework on which the human body is built (Turley, 2011). This system is made of 206 bones in addition to ligaments and cartilage
Muscular SystemFunctions of Muscle TissueThe muscular system comprises skeletal muscle tissue, tendons, blood vessels, and nerves. The skeletal muscles are core to the body's movement since they pull on bones causing movement at the joints. Movements made by different body parts include chewing, running, running, and manipulating objects. Contraction and relaxation of muscle tissues and muscle metabolism generate heat that is critical for maintaining temperature homeostasis (Mukund & Subramaniam, 2019).
E. hypertrophy). In the elderly, this process is reverse. Hence, the functional reserve capacities of the skeletal muscles decline with age, largely due to diminished levels of physical activity. As a result daily tasks once taken for granted become progressively more difficult, and eventually impossible, to perform. In illustration, a great deal of muscle force is required to simply stand up or to climb stairs. Therefore, skeletal system is relying
