Sen. Dan Inouye, the longest serving senator in Congress, said Hoekstra's " racist thoughts are not welcome in the United States Senate .” Journalist James Fallows of The Atlantic called it the " most revolting ad ".

Theodor Adorno claimed in 1969 “ It is self-evident that nothing concerning art is self-evident .” Artists, philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists and programmers all use the notion of art in their respective fields, and give it operational definitions that vary considerably.

The main recent sense of the word “ art ” is roughly as an abbreviation for creative art or “ fine art .” Here we mean that skill is being used to express the artist ’ s creativity, or to engage the audience ’ s aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of the “ finer ” things.

Affirm the cleanliness of the individual after the state of madness, aggressive complete madness of a world abandoned to the hands of bandits .” Formal goals, creative goals, self-expression, political goals, spiritual goals, philosophical goals, and even more perceptual or aesthetic goals have all been popular pictures of what art should be like.

" Comics ,” wrote Capp in 1970, “ can be a combination of the highest quality of art and text, and many of them are .” Capp would produce many giveaway educational comic books and public services pamphlets, spanning several decades, for the Red Cross, the Department of Civil Defense, the Department of the Navy, the U. S. Army, the Anti-Defamation League, the Department of Labor, Community Chest ( a forerunner of United Way ), and the Job Corps.

One of the earliest articulations of the anthropological meaning of the term " culture " came from Sir Edward Tylor who writes on the first page of his 1897 book: “ Culture, or civilization, taken in its broad, ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society .” The term " civilization " later gave way to definitions by V. Gordon Childe, with culture forming an umbrella term and civilization becoming a particular kind of culture.

As a result, his art was sometimes criticized as being “ vulgar ,” because he painted what he saw: “ rutted and edged hodgepodge of bushes, mounds of earth, and trees in various stages of development .” According to one source, details such as those were equivalent to today ’ s art showing garbage cans or beer bottles on the side of a street scene.

Joachim Pissarro notes that virtually every reviewer who commented on Pissarro ’ s work noted “ his extraordinary capacity to change his art, revise his position and take on new challenges .” One critic writes:

The American impressionist Mary Cassatt, who at one point lived in Paris to study art, and joined his Impressionist group, noted that he was “ such a teacher that he could have taught the stones to draw correctly .”

* " Everybody who cares for his art seeks the essence of his own technique .” ( 1922 )

Director / actor John Cassavetes contemplating Capra ’ s contribution to the art of film quipped: “ Maybe there really wasn ’ t an America, it was only Frank Capra .” Capra ’ s films were his love letters to an idealized America — a cinematic landscape of his own invention.

How far these deficiencies can be improved by art and the hand of man, time must decide .”

Also, by using his many Greek references and showing that his plays were originally Greek, “ It is possible that Plautus was in a way a teacher of Greek literature, myth, art and philosophy ; so too was he teaching something of the nature of Greek words to people, who, like himself, had recently come into closer contact with that foreign tongue and all its riches .”

Kerferd provides an example of one widespread modern view of the sophists: “… they were a set of charlatans that appeared in Greece in the fifth century, and earned ample livelihood by imposing on public credulity: professing to teach virtue, they really taught the art of fallacious discourse, and meanwhile propagated immoral practical doctrines .”

Peter Burke describes sprezzatura in The Book of the Courtier as “ nonchalance ”, “ careful negligence ”, and “ effortless and ease .” The ideal courtier is someone who “ conceals art, and presents what is done and said as if it was done without effort and virtually without thought .” ( 31 ).

" ( Castiglione 1. 26 ) The Count reasons that by obscuring his knowledge of letters, the courtier gives the appearance that his “ orations were composed very simply ” as if they sprang up from “ nature and truth than from study and art .” ( 1. 26 ).

At the ceremony, screenwriter Budd Schulberg, who wrote On the Waterfront, thanks his lifelong friend saying, “ Elia Kazan has touched us all with his capacity to honor not only the heroic man, but the hero in every man .” In an interview with the American Film Institute in 1976, Kazan spoke of his love of the cinema: " I think it's the most wonderful art in the world.

“ it would be dangerous for French composers to ignore systematically the works of their foreign colleagues, and thus form themselves into a sort of national coterie: our musical art, so rich at the present time, would soon degenerate and become isolated by its own academic formulas .”

He was an artist putting down paint on canvas creating works not to shock and outrage, but to say, “ This is what I see .” More appreciated over the years by collectors than academicians and critics, Modigliani was indifferent to staking a claim for himself in the intellectual avant-garde of the art world.

He also advised his students, “ It isn ’ t the subject that counts but what you feel about it ” and “ Forget about art and paint pictures of what interests you in life .” In this manner, Henri influenced Hopper, as well as notable future artists George Bellows and Rockwell Kent.

The critic Elizabeth Anne Hull, for her part, has praised Heinlein for his interest in exploring fundamental life questions especially questions about “ political power – our responsibilities to one another ” and about “ personal freedom, particularly sexual freedom .”

As Ravel said, “ It is probably better after all for us to be on frigid terms for illogical reasons .” Ravel stoically absorbed superficial comparisons with Debussy promulgated by biased critics, including Pierre Lalo, an anti-Ravel critic who stated, “ Where M. Debussy is all sensitivity, M. Ravel is all insensitivity, borrowing without hesitation not only technique but the sensitivity of other people .” During 1913, in a remarkable coincidence, both Ravel and Debussy independently produced and published musical settings for poems by Stéphane Mallarmé, again provoking comparisons of their work and their perceived influence on each other, which continued even after Debussy ’ s death five years later.

He has been his own most unsparing critic .” Ravel conducted most of the leading orchestras in the U. S. from coast to coast and visited twenty-five cities.

One critic argues that it is Kafka ’ s influence that can be seen most strongly in the novel: “ Like Kafka ’ s heroes, Yossarian is riddled with anxiety and caught in an inexorable nightmare – in his case created by Colonel Cathcart and the inevitability of him raising the number of missions he has to fly .”

Professor Mark Glancy, teacher of film history at Queen Mary University of London has said: “ It ’ s horrendously inaccurate and attributes crimes committed by the Nazis in the 1940s to the British in the 1770s .” In contrast, Australian film critic David Edwards asserts that " this fictional story is set around actual events, but it is not a history of what America was, or even an image of what it has become-it's a dream of what it should be .... The Patriot is a grand epic full of action and emotion .... But it's also surprisingly insightful in its evaluation of the American ideal-if not the reality.

One example of this is his schema of the container as suggested by critic Donald Freeman in his article, “ The rack dislimns .” In his article, Freeman suggests that the container is representative of the body and the overall theme of the play that “ knowing is seeing .” In literary terms a schema refers to a plan throughout the work, which means that Shakespeare had a set path for unveiling the meaning of the “ container ” to the audience within the play.

According to this reading, Egypt is viewed as destructive and vulgar ; the critic Paul Lawrence Rose writes: “ Shakespeare clearly envisages Egypt as a political hell for the subject, where natural rights count for nothing .” Through the lens of such a reading, the ascendancy of Rome over Egypt does not speak to the practice of empire-building as much as it suggests the inevitable advantage of reason over sensuality.

In reference to Presence and Resistance by Philip Auslander, a performance art critic, Sally Banes writes “… by the end of the 1980s, performance art had become so widely known that it no longer needed to be defined ; mass culture, especially television, had come to supply both structure and subject matter for much performance art ; and several performance artists, including Laurie Anderson, Spalding Gray, Eric Bogosian, Willem Dafoe, and Ann Magnuson, had indeed become crossover artists in mainstream entertainment .”

Believing the post to be " the first professorship of its kind in the country ," Harvard President Drew G. Faust called it “ an important milestone .” Funded by a $ 1. 5 million gift from the members and supporters of the Harvard Gay & Lesbian Caucus, the F. O. Matthiessen Visiting Professorship of Gender and Sexuality is named for a mid-20th century gay Harvard American studies scholar and literary critic who chaired the undergraduate program in history and literature.

Juliet Stevenson told Worth that during rehearsals she had wondered whether the lines were being delivered too fast for viewers to take in their sense theatre critic, Alice Griffin … thought that the lines ‘ came across more clearly and more easily understandable than sometimes in the theatre .’ This she attributed partly to Minghella ’ s use of close-up, a recurring feature of the film versions naturally enough .”

Chaumette was an ardent critic of Christianity, which he believed to consist of " ridiculous ideas " that " have been very helpful to despotism .” In his ultra-radical views, he was heavily influenced by atheist and materialist writers Paul d ' Holbach, Denis Diderot and Jean Meslier.

McGee notes that the study of a term must not, and should not, be limited to its use in “ formal discourse .” Instead, the critic is much more likely to gain a better understanding of an ideograph by looking at how it is used and depicted in movies, plays, and songs, as well as how it is presented in educational texts aimed at children.

Theater critic and historian Burns Mantle cited a letter he received from Woolf saying “ Mamzelle Champagne was my Columbia Varsity Show, and was transported by a manager, Henry Pincus, to the open Madison Square Roof with a professional cast .” However, The Varsity Show ’ s own website disputes this “ legend ”, saying Mam ’ zelle was Woolf ’ s first professional show and not the one he had written as a student in the class of 1901.

Some have seen it as thin in substance, uncontrolled in method, too sweet in color and too “ poetic .” But it has been far more apt to garner admirers like the critic Barbara Rose, who wrote in 1972 of Ms. Frankenthaler ’ s gift for “ the freedom, spontaneity, openness and complexity of an image, not exclusively of the studio or the mind, but explicitly and intimately tied to nature and human emotions.

Founded by African American author and historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, The Journal of Negro History wrote, “ Their Eyes Were Watching God is a gripping story … the author deserves great praise for the skill and effectiveness shown in the writing of this book .” The critic noted Hurston ’ s anthropological approach to writing, “ She studied them until she thoroughly understood the working of their minds, learned to speak their language …”

Writing for the New York Times, Ralph Thompson states, “ the normal life of Negroes in the South today – the life with its holdovers from slave times, its social difficulties, childish excitements, and endless exuberances … compared to this sort of story, the ordinary narratives of Negroes in Harlem or Birmingham seem ordinary indeed .” For the New York Herald Tribune, Sheila Hibben described Hurston as writing “ with her head as with her heart ” creating a “ warm, vibrant touch .” She praised Their Eyes as filled with “ a flashing, gleaming riot of black people, with a limitless sense of humor, and a wild, strange sadness .” New York Times critic Lucille Tompkins described Their Eyes, “ It is about Negroes … but really it is about every one, or at least every one who isn ’ t so civilized that he has lost the capacity for glory .”

Karen Valby of Entertainment Weekly comments, “ While the book chews on meaty questions of race and identity, the movie largely resigns itself to the realm of sudsy romance .” New York Times critic Virginia writes, “ the film is less a literary tribute than a visual fix of Harlequin Romance: Black Southern Series-all sensual soft-core scenes and contemporary, accessible language .”

Uses Micro POG Octave Generator for the solo section on “ Promises, Promises .” On title track, “ If Not Now, When ?” Einziger plays a Mellotron mandolin.

A study on the relationship happiness to various character strengths showed that “ a conscious focus on gratitude led to reductions in negative affect and increases in optimistic appraisals, positive affect, offering emotional support, sleep quality, and well-being .”

" The Chicago Daily Tribune called it “ One of the most spectacular crimes of the 20th century, and what is believed to be the first airplane kidnap murder on record .” Because it occurred somewhere over three Missouri counties, and involved interstate transport of a stolen airplane, it raised questions in legal circles about where, by whom, and even whether he could be prosecuted.

Also, supporters of this view would characterize Luke ’ s portrayal of the Roman Empire as positive because they believe Luke “ glosses over negative aspects of the empire and presents imperial power positively .” For example, when Paul is before the council defending himself, Paul says that he is “ on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead ” ( Acts 23: 6 ).

The army report that day contains only one phrase: “ All quiet on the Western Front .” As Paul dies, his face is calm, “ as though almost glad the end had come .”

One of the cookbooks that proliferated in the colonies was The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy written by Hannah Glasse, wrote of disdain for the French style of cookery, stating “ the blind folly of this age that would rather be imposed on by a French booby, than give encouragement to a good English cook !” Of the French recipes, she does add to the text she speaks out flagrantly against the dishes as she “… think it an odd jumble of trash .” Reinforcing the anti-French sentiment was the French and Indian War from 1754-1764.

Since the New Testament never condemns instruments themselves, much less in any of these settings, it is conceded that “ the church Fathers go beyond the New Testament in pronouncing a negative judgment on musical instruments .”

The scheming Comptroller Schub, tells her that he has a plan to save her administration, and the town, promising “ It's highly unethical .” He tells her to meet him at the rock on the edge of town.

In response to the question “ Which side does Abner part his hair on ?," Capp would answer, “ Both .” Capp said he finally found the right " look " for Li ' l Abner with Henry Fonda's character Dave Tolliver, in The Trail of the Lonesome Pine ( 1936 ).

came in with some great ideas and she had reinvented some of the lore and it was pretty cool but in the end there just wasn ’ t enough on the page .”

He doesn ’ t care — he ’ s more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid .” Building on this, a Comics Alliance opinion piece titled The Gayness of Batman discussed the question of homosexual readings of the character, citing his relationship with the flamboyant Joker as " a monstrous distortion of the conflict between the closet and the scene.

The money was devoted largely to developing “ technical advice on the conduct of defoliation and anti-crop activities in Southeast Asia .” By the end of fiscal year 1962, the Chemical Corps had let or were negotiating contracts for over one thousand chemical defoliants.

In his article Observations on the marital metaphor of YHWH and Israel in its ancient Israelite context: general considerations and particular images in Hosea 1. 2, Ben Zvi describes the role of the Gomer in the marriage metaphor as one of the “ central attributes of the ideological image of a human marriage that was shared by the male authorship and the primary and intended male readership as building blocks for their imagining of the relationship .”

Guderian said that the tank deployment was “ on too small a scale to allow accurate assessments to be made .” The true test of his “ armoured idea ” would have to wait for the Second World War.

Its stated goal was “ to destroy the Russian forces deployed in the West and to prevent their escape into the wide-open spaces of Russia .” A key factor was the surprise attack which included the near annihilation of the total Soviet airforce by simultaneous attacks on airfields.

The Baptists have been non-creedal “ in that they have not sought to establish binding authoritative confessions of faith on one another .” Also rejecting creeds are groups with roots in the Restoration Movement, such as the Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ), the Evangelical Christian Church in Canada and the Churches of Christ.

Early 20th century American preacher Billy Sunday epitomizes the Evangelical focus on " going to heaven " in his sermon “ Heaven: A Wonderful Place ; Where There is No More Death ; Blessed Hope of the Christian .” In the message Sunday characteristically explained the feelings of his audience by saying “ Everybody wants to go to Heaven.

The city will be taken, the houses looted, and the women raped … Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations … Thus the Lord my God will come, and all the saints with you .” 14: 2-5 In Matthew, Jesus says, " The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Christian Scientists distinguish their method from “ faith healing .” To a Christian Scientist, “ faith healing ” is something that relies merely on blind faith in miraculous cures.

In a historical or geopolitical sense the term usually refers collectively to Christian majority countries or countries in which Christianity dominates or was a territorial phenomenon .“ Christendom is originally a medieval concept steadily to have evolved since the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the gradual rise of the Papacy more in religio-temporal implication practically during and after the reign of Charlemagne ; and the concept let itself to be lulled in the minds of the staunch believers to the archetype of a holy religious space inhabited by Christians, blessed by God, the Heavenly Father, ruled by Christ through the Church and protected by the Spirit-body of Christ ; no wonder, this concept, as included the whole of Europe and then the expanding Christian territories on earth, strengthened the roots of Romance of the greatness of Christianity in the world .”

While coming to terms with who he was, Mather read Robert Boyle ’ s book “ The Usefulness of Experimental Natural Philosophy .” Mather read Boyle ’ s work closely throughout the 1680s and his early works on science and religion borrowed greatly from it.

Larry Gragg highlights Mather ’ s cloudy thinking and confusion between sympathy for the possessed, and the boundlessness of spectral evidence when Mather stated, “ the devil have sometimes represented the shapes of persons not only innocent, but also the very virtuous .” And writing in the early 1980s, John Demos seemed to consider Mather a moderating influence on the trials.

As NCRL maintains, it is reasonable to impose restrictions on Internet access in order to maintain an environment that is conducive to study and contemplative thought .” The case now returns to federal court.
