Writing as Art in The Painted Bird Three Works Cited   The use of art has many functions.  It lacks a satisfactory definition and is easier to describe it as a way something is done --“the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others”  --rather than what it is.  Jerzy Kosinski’s The Painted Bird describes the disasters that befall a six-year-old boy who is separated from his parents and wanders through the primitive

Or so it seemed to the parents who abandoned their only son to protect him from the Nazis in the beginning of Jerzy Kosinski¹s provocative 1965 novel The Painted Bird.

Kosinski's Being There and the Existential Anti-Hero Critics have referred to Kosinski's Being There as his worst novel.  Perhaps, Kosinski's prosaic style is deceptive in its apparent simplicity (especially when contrasted with The Painted Bird).  "What Kosinski seeks to do," as Welch D. Everman relates, "is to stimulate the reader's recreative and imaginative task by offering only the essentials...Kosinski's style draws the reader into the incident by refusing to allow him to remain passive"

begin with the Holocaust, anti-semantic actions have been in society for thousands of years, and yet the people of this faith are still present in today's world. To understand why Saul Bellows and Jerzy Kosinski wrote Mr. Sammler's Planet and The Painted Bird, the reader must understand the reality of the suffering inflicted upon the Jewish people.

Wheat Field with Crows, by Vincent van Gogh, exhibits a dark nature, inviting many to interpret this artwork as a symbolic end to the artist's life. It was painted just weeks before his suicide in July, 1890 during van Gogh's Auvers period - referencing the ten week long period of time between his stay at the asylum in Saint Remy's and his death in the small town of Auvers-sur-Oise. By this point in Vincent van Gogh's life, he had fully mastered his personalized style of painting, creating at

In South America, there are many indigenous groups that have been studied and analyzed by anthropologists.
