A man of Jewish origin from Hungary, a woman of Latvian origin in the USA. A Nobel Prize winning author, a professor of literature. What do they have in common? Two different lives, two different backgrounds, two different journeys of the soul, finally resulting in two pieces of literary work: Agate Nesaule?s A Woman in Amber and Imre Kertesz?s Fatelessness. Nesaule classified her book as a memoir, whereas Kertesz insists that his writing is a novel. The objective of this paper is to understand and revaluate the genres of these works, so I am going to submit ideas and suggestions concerning them. While focusing on the original question, two writings dealing with crisis-situations, traumas and recoveries, two excellent pieces of work is...

Ford Madox Brown (16 April 1821 – 6 October 1893) was an English painter of moral and historical subjects, notable for his distinctively graphic and often Hogarthian version of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Brown was born in Calais and studied art in Antwerp under Egide Charles Gustave Wappers. In 1843 he submitted work to the Westminster Cartoon Competition, for compositions to decorate the new Palace of Westminster. He was not successful. His early works were, however, greatly admired by the young Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who asked him to become his tutor. Through Rossetti, Brown came into contact with the artists who went on to form the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB). Though closely linked to them, he was never actually a member of...

This book is based on an historical investigation exploring the impact of the Carnegie Corporation’s philanthropic cultural and educational activities in North America and Australia during the 1940s.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Foundation is a flesh-toned cosmetic applied to the face to create an even, uniform colour to the complexion, and, sometimes, to change the natural skintone. Foundation applied to the body is generally referred to as body paint. The use of cosmetics to enhance the complexion has been known since antiquity. From “face painting”, mentioned in the Old Testament to ceruse, a lethal mixture of mercury and lead popular in the 16th century, modern foundation can trace its roots to Carl Baudin of the Leipzeiger Stalt theatre in Germany. In desiring to conceal the joint between his wig and forehead, he developed a flesh-colored paste made of zinc, ochres and lard. This formulation was so popular...

A found object, in an artistic sense, indicates the use of an object which has not been designed for an artistic purpose, but which exists for another purpose already. Found objects may exist either as utilitarian, manufactured items, or things (including, at times, dead bodies) which occur in nature. In both cases the objects are discovered by the artist or musician to be capable of being employed in an artistic way, and are designated as "found" to distinguish them from purposely created items used in the art forms.
