In the Early and High Classical periods, it is
clear that the Greek sculptors have moved away
from the rigid frontal pose of the human body, for

a freestanding statue to exhibit more lifelike and
natural qualities is the Kritios Boy from the
Acropolis in Athens. The Kritios Boy is a example

Leonardo Da Vinci The life and work of the great
Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo
da Vinci have proved endlessly fascinating for
later generations. What most impresses people
today, perhaps, is the immense scope of his
achievement. In the past, however, he was admired
chiefly for his art and art theory. Leonardo's
equally impressive contribution to science is a
modern rediscovery, having been preserved in a
vast quantity of notes that became widely known

Dorian Gray Lord Henry

I believe a great deal of thought went into the
writing of this book. It is very detailed and in
addition, it is very hard to sustain an allegory
throughout. The Picture of Dorian Gray has many
thought provoking phrases and paragraphs. There
are many different literary techniques used such
as foreshadowing in the first two chapters in very
subtle undertones. Also used was a great amount of
detail, which sets the mood for certain scenes,
such as when, during the painting of Dorian Gray?

determines whether it will or will not destroy the
person. The faults that humans possess stem from
an open field of possibilities that they are able
to choose from as they build their own character.

Stylistic Analysis of Madam Matisse: The Green
Line Henry Matisse, one of the most influential
members of the Fauve movement, was responsible for
much of the attention brought to it and its
respective members. One of his works, Madame
Matisse: The Green Line, more or less serves as an
excellent example of what he was trying to
accomplish in art: the use of color to express and
convey emotions. The composition of the work
consists of a portrait of Madame Matisse in the
foreground and a background...
