His portrayal of women in Victorian Europe is both intimate and insightful. Several paintings are discussed. La Demoiselle de magasin "The Young Lady of the Shop" (1883-5) is emphasized.

Japanese Identity: The Kimono Designs of Miyake, Youth Clothing, and Architecture
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing the modern Japanese identity in relation to fashion and architecture. The modern Japanese identity is highly unique in its combination of the traditional and the “unfettered” modern and often mismatched. Examples of this can be found in the fashions of Issey Miyake and his contemporaries, the fashion selections and manipulations of the Japanese youth and modern Japanese architecture. Regardless of the industry however, a high level of craftsmanship, consistent with Japanese tradition, can be found. Miyake took the traditional and customized kimono and fashioned it for the flexible, international and mass produced market while at the same time defying modern day techniques of conforming the clothing to the contour of the body thus allowing the kimono to still be worn by all women of all body shapes; not usually considered in today’s fashion market. The Japanese youths of today also make their clothing distinct from that of Western countries by taking Western fashions and clothing and combining or manipulating the clothing to develop a modern and mismatched style. The clothing although often appearing vintage or aged is actually extremely high priced and carefully planned. Similarly in modern Japanese architecture, elements of the traditional can still be seen in religious areas such as Kyoto whereas modern urban areas such as Toyko have modern buildings which often combine traditional elements with modern elements which appear to be mismatched but are actually well planned and reflect the freedom of craftsmanship of the architect.

Jean Michel Basquiat
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Like any other international symbol, art strips away the barriers inherent to cultural segregation. Indeed, society's inhabitants are hard pressed to interact with one another based solely upon verbal exchange; however, when art is brought into the mix, that cultural barrier is soon removed. It can readily be argued that Jean Michel Basquiat's art was one of very few entities that possessed a universal appeal, no matter what culture it addressed. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
