James frazer end of trait for the viewer the first he sees the status as '' an image of ashamed, defeated Indian.'' that exactly the same feeling that I had when I saw the sculpture before I read his comments all the way to the end. Because the statue represents a soldier on his horse holding his daughter or a random  young girl they all looking down. That is not really how we would represent resistance when you first see the statue resistane is not what will come into your mind directly. But later in the story, she said '' End of the Trail Screenprinted on flags used in ceremonies honoring veterans and prisoners of war.''' That gave us another view of the sculpture because making a statue of a soldier strong and ready to go defend his territory is what everyone would expect but by doing this sad and strong image of a soldier in despair he catches people's attention. Plus the soldier still has his weapon on his other arm there no other sign of resistance than this image. Despite the pain the shame he never let his weapon fell down he holds it as a sign of resistance.

For this week's assignment, i decide to talk about the photographer Zanelle Moholi. Zanelle Moholi is an amazing South African photographer and also an activist that try to tell stories from the picture she took. In most of her works, she tries to put light on subjects that are taboo or subject to controversy in her country.

Apartheid is a dark period of South African history where segregated and discriminated. A lot of color folks died during that time. And there are sensible subjects even in today's South Africa. But as a committed artist, these are The tough subject Zanelle Moholi cover on some of her artworks. Another hot t subject in South Africa but also in Africa is the treatment of gays and lesbians ther...

One of the paintings that I liked at the MoMA was gold Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol is the one the creator of the pop art movement. The reason I choose this painting is that it is more recent it’s up to date compared to other movements like renaissance or impressionism. And the painting is addressed to society it’s a self-portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe was a huge celebrity in the fifties. The painting was made by andy Warhol the year Marilyn Monroe committed suicide in 1968. After world war II since the European countries were ruined by the war, the united states economy was at it best we assisted to a boom of manufacturing, mass media, consumer society, and artist works are influenced by what they see in society and that what brings the pop art movement art for the population. The second painting  that I really like at the museum is the ‘’ Dance’’ painting of Matisse. We saw the painting in our lecture class, but the painting really looks better...
