Art & gender
This document discusses gender roles in art throughout history. It notes that males have traditionally been portrayed in strong, dominant roles, while females have been narrowly depicted as mothers, religious figures, or objects of temptation. However, as cultures changed, female representations gradually expanded. Modern artworks like Self-Portrait Sideways No. 3 and Untitled Film Still #35 challenge traditional gender norms. The document also discusses the feminist critique of exclusion of women in art institutions and Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, which honors notable women. It explores how more recent art has begun to blur gender lines, depicting figures with ambiguous or mixed characteristics.
Feminist Art Powerpoint

It begins with a definition of "great art" and lists some male artists generally considered great. It then highlights works from several female artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, and Judy Chicago. The document poses essay questions about how women's roles shaped the significance of their art and how social ideals become art movements. It aims to have students consider how perceptions of women artists have changed over the past three centuries.

The Crucible, written in 1952, was inspired by the Salem witch trials of 1692 and served as a metaphor for McCarthyism during the 1950s Red Scare in the United States. Miller was summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956 and cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to name other communists. He married actresses Marilyn Monroe and Inge Morath during his career before passing away in 2005.
Various concepts in the play "The Hairy Ape"
There are many things and concepts one can come across while reading of the play "The Hairy Ape". Here, I have tried to take major concepts in consideration with explanation through the play.
Features ofModern drama
Modern drama features themes of realism, absurdism, and naturalism rather than supernatural elements and fate. Some key characteristics include: naturalism as shown through Ibsen's A Doll's House depicting the domination of women; absurdism through Synge's Playboy of the Western World where people accept absurd things; and realism in Albee's The Zoo Story about how civilization makes people introverted. Modern playwrights like Ibsen, Shaw, Albee, and Miller incorporated these themes and styles.
2conspious incursion of the theory caricature on power culture
This document discusses the history and use of caricature. It begins by defining caricature as an exaggerated drawing or depiction of a person that emphasizes striking features in a comic or grotesque way while still retaining likeness. The document then traces the origins of caricature to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. It provides examples of ancient caricatures and discusses how authors like Jonathan Swift and John Milton were subjects of 18th century English satirical caricatures addressing political issues. The document argues caricature is used to express dissatisfaction with those in power and as a weapon against authority and injustice towards the lower classes.

Wilfredo Lam was an artist of mixed Cuban and Chinese heritage who was influenced by Western artists like Picasso as well as artists from the Negritude movement. However, art critic William Rubin overlooked Lam's hybrid background and tried to define his work only in relation to Western art traditions.

However, assimilation into the dominant aesthetic standards meant suppressing his cultural differences.

Death of a salesman By Arthur Miller - Canan Kaplan
Arthur Miller's 1949 play Death of a Salesman explores the life of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman living in Brooklyn in the 1940s. The play uses a nonlinear structure to depict both Willy's present and memories of the past simultaneously. Willy is struggling financially and emotionally as capitalism has changed and the American Dream of success through personality has proven unrealistic. Willy's failure to provide for his family and his mental deterioration call into question whether the failure lies with Willy himself or with society's unreasonable standards and values. The play was hugely influential in establishing a new style of drama that blended realism and expressionism.
