From the Paper:

"The two artists chosen for this paper fall into the innovative or creative section of the arts. Firstly, Ezra Pound is known for his modernistic style and is also known for exchanging ideas and allowing other credited artists to critique his work. His style was derived from Japanese and Chinese literature called Imagism, this touched on accuracy, precision, and a traditional rhyme scheme (Academy, 1). Francisco Goya, also known as "the Father of Modern Art," influenced the world with his works. His general feeling of bitterness towards the world was predominantly shown in his works. Due to the fact that Ezra Pound and Francisco Goya are both brilliant artist many parallels can be drawn between the two."
