Victor Delfin was born December 20, 1927. He is a famous artist in Peru. He found his source of inspiration in the ancient Paracan culture of Peru. Delfin's Master pieces can be traced back to the colorful, traditional mantles worn by the Paracans 500 to 800 years ago. The Incan city/people is famous as being an advanced culture. Delfin's use of Incan symbols reestablishes links with the past that could very well hold signs of our future. Delfin graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in Lima in 1958. He served briefly as director of the Puno School of Fine Arts and then as an art teacher in Chile. Delfin established a mixed art studio in the seaside district of Barranco, and he has been there ever since, producing art that has won many awards and honors. …show more content…
He has soaked up this influence and included/combined it into his own expression. Delfin said his works often stray into such darker subjects as well as politics. He said he feels forced to address social terribly unfair treatment and political themes in his art even though he agreed that collectors and museums almost never buy such works; many end up permanently in his studio. He is best known for his huge and important monumental El Beso (the kiss), a large sculpture uncovered and showed off in 1993 in the "Love Park" by the Pacific Ocean in the Miraflores district of Lima. Many newlyweds visit the park to present/ask/stand in a showy and fake way in front of the sculpture. "It also draws crowds of lovers from all areas of Lima celebrating Valentine's Day each February 14. Delfin gets an unusual energy in any medium from sculpture to fabric. Delfin feels the artist should be able to do many different things

Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous and well-documented artists of the twentieth century. Picasso, unlike most painters, is even more special because he did not confine himself to canvas, but also produced sculpture, poetry, and ceramics in profusion. Although much is known about this genius, there is still a lust after more knowledge concerning Picasso, his life and the creative forces that motivated him. This information can be obtained only through a careful study of the events that played out during his lifetime and the ways in which they manifested themselves in his creations (Penrose).
Desmond Doss, the only conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor during World War II spoke of his time fighting in the Pacific, “You can imagine being pinned down and can't move and receiving orders like that.

Vernon Loeb has lived in Houston for less than four years and has been in two floods and believe that Houston is its own enemy for flood control. It is a flat place and no amount of preparation could have helped to minimize the impact of the rain from Hurricane Harvey. Loeb walked to work on Sunday in waist-deepwater. In other places, the water was chest-deep. The next day, he saw a very expensive, recently updated park completely covered in water. The National Weather Service describes Harvey with “all impacts … unknown & beyond anything experienced” and as “catastrophic, unprecedented, epic.” Loeb contributes Harvey to climate change, and hopes that acknowledging this will help Houston recover and reinvent itself to developing cleaner energies.

Diego Rivera was deemed the finest Mexican painter of the twentieth century; he had a huge influence in art worldwide. Rivera wanted to form his own painting fashion. Although he encountered the works of great masters like Gauguin, Renoir, and Matisse, he was still in search of a new form of painting to call his own (Tibol, 1983). His desire was to be capable of reaching a wide audience and express the difficulties of his generation at the same time, and that is exactly what h...
Throughout the history of country singers they’re has been many of them. It started out being a song about a lady going to the dances. Then it went to singing about their life’s and how they grew up. Now Todays County is about noting really, it’s about drinking and getting drunk and a bunch of non-sense. David Allen Coe was one of those good singers that sang about how he grew up.

A man of innovation, style, and creator of labyrinthine masterpieces in all media, Alphonse Mucha is often named the greatest and most influential Czech artists. As one of the fathers of Art Nouveau, Mucha developed a reputation with his posters, architecture, jewelry and sculpture that had never been seen before; a complex weaving of lines and pastel colors featuring voluptuous women and a harmony that can only be described as: Mucha style.

The art of Fernando Botero is widely known, revered, paraphrased, imitated and copied, For many, his characteristic rounded, sensuous forms of the human figure, animals, still lifes and landscapes represent the most easily identifiable examples of the modern art of Latin America. For others, he is a cultural hero.To travel with Botero in his native Colombia is to come to realize that he is often seen less as an artist and more as a popular cult figure. In his native Medellín he is mobbed by people wanting to see him, touch him or have him sign his name to whatever substance they happen to be carrying. On the other hand, Botero's work has been discredited by those theorists of modern art whose tastes are dictated more by intellectual fashion than by the perception of the power of his images. Botero is undoubtedly one of the most successful artists in both commercial and popular terms, and an artist whose paintings deal with many of the issues that have been at the heart of the Latin American creative process in the twentieth century.
My very first memory that I can recall is from our old house which isn't there anymore Jacob Donner's family built a new one right where it is to be. I can remember running around with my mom's old dog sugar witch was old so i'm sure she was always annoyed with me playing with her but I would dress up as a cowboy and there was an old John Wayne movie where he had a dog that followed him everywhere he went and did what he told him to and I would pretend that was us and we would pretend we were in a fight with Indians or bandits and I used my old cap gun to fight them off. I spent most of my time downstairs and can't even remember what the upstairs looked like the only two rooms I can remember is the kitchen and the living
