289.20142 Rousseau the Artist: An Analysis of His Productive Years
This ten-page graduate paper examines the productive life of the French artist Henri Rousseau. The author notes that because Rousseau was self-taught and didn?t start painting until he?d passed the age of forty, he had to struggle to overcome the unkind condescension and criticism of many of his contemporaries. His strange, unorthodox style was often derided by other artists as well, yet he succeeded in converting many
of his critics into admirers, mostly because of the compelling, dreamlike jungle paintings he produced during his most productive years.

291.20148 Art and Culture: An Analysis of the Influence of Marxist Theory and Ideology
This twelve-page undergraduate paper examines the influence of Marxist theory and ideology on current methodology. The author notes that examining Marxist art history and contemplating the social history of art within ideological, political and historical contexts has led to debate that the fragmented and confused state of the social history of art is the result of the rejection by many radical cultural and art historians of Marxism. The reasons for this are ultimately to be found in the material conditions of late twentieth century culture and society, and in the political disorientation of liberals and most of the Left.
