The City, Lee Merriwether Clark
The City, Lee Merriwether Clark
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis is composed of five oil paintings and four synthetic paintings. The works are arranged in a sequence beginning with distant over views of the city and progressing toward more immediate views. Techniques change also, from the suggestive impressionistic mode, a style I explored in my early years of art education, to a studied application of large, solid, simplified shapes of color. In my work, realism is sacrificed for a decorative arrangement of color patterns.
From this creative experience I have reached conclusions about art education and my responsibility as an art instructor. Motivation is essential when introducing all …
The Attack On Bourgeois Society: An Introduction To Cultural Despair In The Late Nineteenth And Twentieth Century European Thought, With Four Illustrative Studies From Traditions Of The European Intellectual Milieu, Craig Evan Wollner
Dissertations and Theses
The rise of the middle class to power and influence in European culture and politics in the nineteenth century created the conditions of modern life which to many European intellectuals were distasteful and ominous. They viewed urbanization, commercialization, industrialization and the qualities of life that they engendered, such as anxiety, limitation of freedom, and pervasive mediocrity in cultural expression, as being inimical to the traditional and more reliable values of European civilization or, in some instances, as being incapable of providing the bases for a free and humane existence.
This study focuses on the attack on bourgeois society in Europe …
Der Richter Und Der Gerechte In Dürrenmatts Dramen, Helga Schlichtherle
Der Richter Und Der Gerechte In Dürrenmatts Dramen, Helga Schlichtherle
Dissertations and Theses
In each of Friedrich Dürrenmatt's ten plays that appeared between 1946 and 1965 there are two protagonists. One of them is powerful and egocentric, strives for fame and power and challenges the world. To destroy his rivals he becomes a 'Judge', sometimes even an executioner.
His antagonist is humble and pious, believes in God, and considers life as God's gift. Christian ethics determine his decisions. He is the 'Righteous'.
Dürrenmatt's work divides into four periods which reflect the author’s times and beliefs.
The first three plays (Es steht geschrieben, Der Blinde, Romulus der Grosse show hope for a better world …
Classes And Class Conflicts In Victorian England As Explored By Thomas Hardy, Nancy Burns Vail
Classes And Class Conflicts In Victorian England As Explored By Thomas Hardy, Nancy Burns Vail
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this research was to study in depth the relationships of individuals in the three social classes in England during the Victorian Age. Since original documents and research material were scarce I used two novels by Thomas Hardy to illustrate the conflicts between representatives of the social classes. In 1891 England was prosperous and many people believed there was no conflict between the classes. Thomas Hardy believed this was untrue and, by method of comparison, wrote Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure to prove his point. This thesis includes research on the two novels, Thomas Hardy’s …

The Development Of A Clay Body With Compatible Glaze Formulae, Nancy Travers
The Development Of A Clay Body With Compatible Glaze Formulae, Nancy Travers
Dissertations and Theses
There are two aims in this thesis: the first is to ascertain something of the physical and chemical properties of clay and glazes and how to handle and control them. A project such as the development of a clay body and glaze formulae serves to isolate the various functions of the materials and give a clear understanding as to their use and potentials. This enables one to visualize and manipulate materials creatively with a reliable prediction as to their behavior. Spencer Moseley in Art Education supports this, saying: "The quality of a man’s production depends upon (1) the idea, the …
Das Satirische Element In Den Werken Nestroys, Walter Pauler
Das Satirische Element In Den Werken Nestroys, Walter Pauler
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis proposes to show the satirical element in the works of Nestroy. Nestroy was playwright and actor, producer and director. His dramatic art represents the highest development in the three hundred year tradition of the "Wiener Volkstheater". For this reason, the thesis begins with a summary of the evolution of the "Wiener Volkstheater".
Following a brief chapter appraising comedy, various definitions of satire have been summarized. The theories have been examined with the intention of finding a general definition of the genre. It has been concluded that each author of satire has an individualized style and use of satire, …
Die Moabiter Sonette; Letzte Gedichte Und Gedanken Albrecht Haushofers, Richard S. Kemmler
Die Moabiter Sonette; Letzte Gedichte Und Gedanken Albrecht Haushofers, Richard S. Kemmler
Dissertations and Theses
Albrecht Haushofer wrote the Moabiter Sonette while confined in a Nazi prison in Berlin during the last months of World War II. His arrest resulted from his indirect involvement in the resistance movement which culminated with the July 20, 1944 attempt on Hitler’s life.
From 1933 to his arrest Haushofer was directly and indirectly involved in work aimed at overthrowing Hitler’s regime and forming a new government. Through his father’s friend, Rudolf Heß, Haushofer was ‘inofficially’ appointed in 1933 to the Foreign Office under Ribbentrop. His effect on German government policies was however nil. In 1937 he left the Foreign …

Birth And Rebirth As A Cultural Symbol, Roberta Foss
Birth And Rebirth As A Cultural Symbol, Roberta Foss
Dissertations and Theses
The corpus of this thesis study consists of a group of monoprints and paintings as well as a written commentary intended as their accompaniment.
The investigation of such a topic as Birth and Rebirth has involved a concern with the existence of symbology meaningful to the topic. The term culture can be clarified to mean both the artist in particular as well as culture in a collective sense. The possibilities of the topic semantically would involve an essayist’s approach. This thesis is not a pictorial essay. Birth and Rebirth as terms evoke images which a painter can simply treat as …

The Doctrine Of The Naqshabandi Order: A Study Of Mysticism In Islam, Madelain Farah Habib
Dissertations and Theses
The word mysticism in the English language has been corrupted and abused by its difference usages in the various disciplines such as religion, poetry, and philosophy. In Islam the only word which refers to a mystic is a Sufi. Sufism, according to its adherents, is the highest form of human experience, the ultimate reality of God. The Sufi theme is "Know thyself and thou wilt know God."
Sufism has been considered by Sufis and by Orientalists as the ancient school of wisdom, of quietism, of attaining the highest union and of purification of the soul. It embodies the strains of …
