The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Potd23 abstract expressionism ii (1)
1. Painting of the Day #23 Joan Mitchell Ladybug 1957 Oil on Canvas
2. The founders of Abstract Expressionism became wildly popular in America and especially in New York, where it became the first major American art movement. The second wave of these artists were usually folks that hung out within the circle of Abstract Expressionists (Mainly Pollock, deKooning and promoter extraordinaire Clement Greenberg. This period was much different than previous eras partly due to the large number of critically acclaimed women artists. Does this font say “70’s Rock n’ Roll Chick Band”? From left to right: Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Grace Hartigan, Lita Ford, Helen Frankenthaler

4. Joan Mitchell Hudson River Day Line 1955 Oil on Canvas Mitchell’s work was emotionally charged to the extent of sometimes looking like the paint was applied in a fast and violent fashion. This is recognizable in the large (and/or) long brushstrokes and splashes of paint resulting from fast strokes with very loose paint. She also utilized many new methods of paint application. In this piece, the paint was watered down w/ paint thinner and applied heavily, leaving runny, drippy strokes that ran down the canvas.
5.
6. Untitled 1959 Oil on Canvas I heart Joan Mitchell because she hearted paint. A lot. She explored and played with many techniques. Her experimentation revolved around a landscape motif. Paint a few paintings and you’ll learn some of the characteristics of paint application and when you go to a museum, you’ll be able to see how the artist made the painting. I’ll leave the ‘deep in the weeds’ details for another slide show but let me give you a quick and dirty assessment of the situation here. Just b/c I think Mitchell was pretty great at what she did. First she started out w/ a raw canvas. When one says,”raw canvas” that means untreated. Usually ‘gesso’ is applied to seal the canvas so that the oils in the paint don’t damage the fabric. Gesso is bright white and if it isn’t completely painted over before the start of the actual painting, you’ll have little bits of that bright white peeking out making you look like a really, really bad painter. Anyhoo…. Lets examine this piece closer…
7. If you look closely at the layering of the brushstrokes, they’re all piled on. Find the paint that isn’t on top of any other brushstrokes and that’s probably one of the colors she started out with. It may be the color that the artist painted over the gesso with. Mitchell used a wide range of opacities in her work. See how above the paint is thickly layered on while below it’s very thin and “washy”? Not only are they placed next to each other in this fashion, but brushstrokes sometimes turn from thick to thin w/ manipulation of paint thinner. One thing I really dig about JM is the editing process… these white planes are brushed in to keep more of a focus on her intended focal points but the colors are not meticulously mixed to try to blend in to the background like nothing was there before. This keeps a lovely consistency with the paint application- fast, dirty and loose. Often there are 2 or more colors per brushstroke. This happens when colors are not thoroughly mixed or right next to each other on a palette. Judging by the strokes, she probably had a huge messy palette
10. Helen Frankenthaler Not only was Frankenthaler responsible for revolutionizing the use of washes (highly watered down paint to make a watercolor like effect) but she was also a pioneer for the Color Field movement and a total ‘PILF’
11. Helen Frankenthaler Mountains and Sea 1952 Oil and charcoal on canvas 7' 2 5/8” x 9' 9 Helen Frankenthaler was enamored after seeing some of the Abstract Expressionist gallery shows in New York and really wanted to get in on this ‘artistic language’. She was highly influenced by Pollock and the writings of Clement Greenberg- so she was alllll about the Abstract Expressionism movement.
12. Jacob’s Ladder 1957 Oil on canvas 9' 5 3/8" x 69 7/8“ Museum of Modern Art Buzzards Bay 1959 Oil on Canvas Watered down paints make very translucent paintings.
14. Sometime between 1961 and 1963 Frankenthaler began using acrylic paints. These paints tended to easily create shapes with less detail as poured oil and became more ‘graphic’ or relating to flat harder edged shapes. Hey! This is the first mention of acrylic paints in my PoTDs. Turns out, loosey runny acrylics were invented in the 50’s and thicker paints (like oils from a tube hit the art scene in the early 60’s. Helen Frankenthaler Orange Underline 1963 acrylic on canvas 55x71 inches
15. So Frankenthaler continued in this direction and her art was characterized by large blobby fields of color. Eventually with help from some pals and acrylic paints she helped begin the Color Field painting movement in the 60’s. Helen Frankenthaler Coalition 1968 acrylic on canvas 83x75 inches
16. Grace Hartigan Grand Street Brides, 1954 Oil on Canvas 72x102” Whitney Museum of Art Hartigan was yet another hot-chick artist that hung around with deKooning, Pollock and Clement Greenberg. An artist working as a model, she admitted a complete lack of talent in the drawing area, but was lauded for her imagination and expression. Hartigan never gave up the representational aspects of her paintings like the other Abstract Expressionists and her early works…well… looked like this... This piece was inspired by mannequins in a NYC department store window. She stated her desire to try to capture the "vulgar and vital in modern American life“ Grace Hartigan

18. Modern Cycle 1967 Oil on Canvas Smithsonian American Art Museum Hartigan was another artist that continued making pretty great art into her twilight years. This one totally reminds me of ‘Happy Days’.
