Marcel Duchamp, Nude Descending a Staircase No.
2, 1912 I completely gave up the naturalistic
appearance of the nude, retaining only the
abstract lines of some of the twenty different
static positions in the successive descending
movement. Duchamp notes. After this painting
was displayed in 1913, Duchamp became the best
known Frenchmen of his day. Left-detail of Sandro
Botticellis The Birth of Venus

Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory,
1931 Disconnected from any logical space or time,
this profusion of recognizable shapes has been
distorted by fantasy into unreal disturbing
images. Dali-(1904-1989) had become synonymous
with Surrealism in the public mind. He explored
the erotic, irrational, and neurotic themes. His
precise draftsmanship enabled him to make even
the most nightmareish illusions seem believable.

Jan Vermeers the Kitchen Maid is an excellent
example of Dutch Baroque

Bruegel, The Parable of the Blind, 1568 one of
Bruegels last before his death Six blind beggars
represent those who are blind to the true
religion-note the church in the background and
are thus without hope. Comes from Gospel of St.
Matthew-And if the blind lead the blind, both
shall fall into the ditch. the outer physical
blindness represents the inner blindness or a
lack of awareness of the true religion. (Roman
Catholic)

Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Tower of Babel
1563 (Dutch Baroque) This painting shows
Bruegels amazing skill in rendering complex
architecture in precise detail. The lighting
and landscape is an excellent depiction of the
countryside of the Low Countries. The tower is
reminiscent of ancient Roman buildings-it is a
symbol of the pride of man and the transience of
mans earthly achievements.

Odalisque (1745) by Francois Boucher-a
provocative pose by a young girl lying naked on a
lavishly draped boudoir. Bouchers paintings
epitomize the frivolous excesses of the mid-18th
century. He obtained the patronage of Madame
Pompadour the mistress of King Louis XV. Because
of her patronage, Boucher became one of the most
sought after decorators in Paris.
