Picasso was arguably the most influential artist of the twentieth century. He had some degree of influence in all styles of painting which were used during his time, and was known and respected by almost every art enthusiast on the face of the planet.

Humor as a Form of Cultural Expression How can one look at a culture and understand its origins, its values, its accomplishments and failures? Through art, poetry, or other literary, or scientific advances? Maybe even in its political standpoints? All of these methods are acceptable. There is one I did not mention in the above list however.

Native Peoples in Canada Today -- Cultural Expression Greater political influence and Canada's official policy of multiculturalism have both contributed to a dramatic increase in the cultural activity of Native Canadians in the latter part of the twentieth century.

Socialist realism and the cultural paradigm of expression If one examines the cultural paradigm of expression, one is faced with a choice: either accept predialectic cultural theory or conclude that the goal of the poet is significant form. However, in Clerks, Smith reiterates neoconstructivist objectivism; in Chasing Amy he deconstructs the cultural paradigm of expression. The subject is contextualised into a socialist realism that includes narrativity
individual does carry emotion, the many factors that are involved differ from culture to culture. The differences come from the comparison of individualistic cultures and collectivistic cultures. Many studies have shown that Americans have a contrasting expression of emotion when compared to East-Asian cultures, like Japan and China.

design discourse that evolves over time in responding to past influence that imparts form and gives expression to a place. Edmund Husserl, whose thought profoundly influenced the landscape of 20th century, says ‘each expression not merely says something, but says it of something; it not only has meaning, but refers to certain objects’.
