Paris on the 14 th November, 1840. When he was

be undisciplined and, therefore, unlikely to make
a success of his life. Enforcing this impression,
Monet showed no interest in inheriting his
father's wholesale grocery. The only subject which
seemed to spark any interest in the child was
painting. He develo...

and left my mother and younger brother sitting in
the car. The old church had definitely out lived
its glory days, yet it still had an airy charm to
it. The roughness of the wood and gently flaking
paint only added to it's timelessness; however,

old stained glass windows, which were slowly
making their descent to the cold harsh ground. At

Fried did not share this belief. For him, the work
of art was supposed to compel conviction, and the
primary character of non-art was its relation to
theatre. The literalist sensibility was

were situations that included the beholder, in
which physical participation became necessary.
