Abstract
This paper takes a critical look at the artist Frank Stella. The writer portrays Stella as an important artist, whose work represents a major shift in approach at a time when such a shift was needed. The research paints a picture of Stella against the backdrop in which he lived and worked. The paper continues with descriptions of his work as the artist explored new techniques and shapes in his subjects.
From the Paper
"The point of departure for Stella in 1958 for his new approach to abstraction was the flag paintings of Jasper Johns. Using various devices, Stella emphasized the flatness of the painting pattern, abolishing the three-dimensional image, and he was uncompromising as he refused to permit the introduction of deep recession behind the picture plane. The result was that the figure-ground relationship was almost completely eliminated as the stripes and orthogonals constituting the picture echoed the contours of the format."

From the Paper
"One of the most interesting, if not visible, proponents of modern art within the American spectrum has been Frank Stella. He is one of the very few people in the American art world to receive two major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and one of the fewer to receive almost continual lauding by Museum director of painting and sculpture William Rubin. In fact, according to one source, "it is hardly an exaggeration that MOMA treats Stella as Jackson Pollock's true dauphin in the lineage of American abstract painting".
One of the reasons for Stella's great popularity was the type of abstract painting that became popular in the late 1950s. It had been either previously overlooked, or underrated, by the majority of patrons and critics alike, but was now finding a ... "

From the Paper
" Frank Stella is an American painter who remains poplar after almost four decades of work. He was born in 1936 and studied at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts under Patrick Morgan and at Princeton University under William Seitz and Stephen Greene. After 1958 he lived in New York. He came to the fore in the 1960s as one of the most inventive of the new school of Post-Painterly Abstraction, a reaction against Abstract Expressionism. He was then exhibited widely in New York, Los Angeles, and elsewhere. A retrospective exhibition in 1970 was held under the auspices of the International Council of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He began as one of many post war minimalist painters, but then his work took a different route from the others, leading him to a "second career" in abstract expressionism. In this career, he struggled with..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Frank in her bibliography "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", being a typical teenage girl, was incredibly emotional. The author points out that the circumstance in which she recorded these sentiments was such that they were always overshadowed by her immense fear. The paper relates that, in the first few diary entries written in the Annex, although slightly afraid, Frank does not realize the true level of danger she is in and therefore fills page after page with detailed but mundane descriptions of daily life in the Annex. The author then explains that, as Frank matures, she begins to empathize with the apprehensiveness felt by the adults and, as a result, her fear begins to increase. The paper stresses that, in a child's mind, death is not a feasible occurrence; therefore, she can allow herself to believe that she does not fear it.
From the Paper
'In this entry, as well as many others, she discusses her constant fears of being caught by the Germans while hiding in the secret annex with her family. This entry is especially powerful because it sheds light on the fact that, in such small cramped conditions, there is little to do but let your mind wander. When put in a situation where you can not talk or laugh too loudly for fear of capture, all that one is left with is his or her thoughts and for a young girl, this can cause immense fright. As she points out on this same page of her diary, everything she says or does leads her back to thoughts of fear."

Abstract
This paper explains that Frank Stella, born in 1936, influenced by the flag paintings of Jasper Johns, emerged in the 1960s as a leading example of Post-Painterly Abstraction, a reaction against Abstract Expressionism. The author relates that Andy Warhol's Pop Art applied a commercial art style to painting, as he appropriated subject matter from the pulp media. Warhol creating a style out of his own non-involvement with the material and his attempt to produce works that were machine-like, thus separated from the artist. The paper recounts that Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) is known for his series of paintings as a comic strip working with stencils to make rows of over-sized dots, forming his paintings of prints and making them look like a huge mass publication product.
Table of Contents
Frank Stella
Andy Warhol
Roy Lichtenstein
From the Paper
"Lichtenstein similarly imitated objects of popular culture, as in his comic-strip paintings taken from comic books and the like, or from his series of advertisements recreated on canvas, such as "Girl with Ball" (1961). Warhol's "Marilyn" images were mechanically reproduced and celebrated the machine element both in the way they were created and in the way they imitated a strip of motion-picture film, which is a mechanical means for reproducing movement. Lichtenstein in "Girl with Ball" and similar images recreated the mechanical look such newspaper print ads have in their original state, as if created by an off-set process that leaves the image flat, with texture showing through from the paper, or the canvas, and with a limited palette in keeping with the tri-color off-set process."

Abstract
This paper defines Minimalism as the tendency by a new generation of artists towards non-allusiveness and decontextualisation from tradition, impersonality in tone, and the flattening of perspectival schema?s though the emphasis on surface, and the subsequent neutralization of depth cues. The author states that there is little agreement as to when the movement officially came into being, and who if anyone was its innovator. The paper states that Minimalism emerged primarily as a reaction against Pop and Abstract Expressionism.
Table of Contents
The Emergence of Minimalism
The Influences of High Modernism
Robert Rauschenburg?s ?White on Whites?
Frank Stella?s Black Paintings
Carl Andre and the Influence of Brancusi
Dan Flavin and the Russian Avant-Garde
Sol LeWitt and the Opening Up of Space
Robert Morris and Phenomenological Vision
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Superficially Minimalism was everything that motion-painting was not, and indeed it?s physical characteristics embodied, at least for the American critic Clement Greenberg, the very elements that modern formalistic abstraction had strove so hard to escape from. It?s closest physical relative was early Constructivism, whilst its ideology could be said to have been initiated by Kasimir Malevich?s Suprematism movement. Both Constructivism and Suprematism renounced the need for art to be visually complex, Malevich through his Black Square and Vladimir Tatlin?s via his Counter-Corner relief?s, although these cannot really be seen as anything more than a indicative forerunner of this new aesthetic.

Frank Capra, 2002.
A discussion of five films directed by Frank Capra as summarized by author Ray Carney in his book "American Vision: The Films of Frank Capra".

Abstract
The paper shows that with only one exception, most of director Frank Capra?s greatest movies take place during the depression, 1929-1941, or shortly after. His films are unique in that they are some of the first to display a faith in American opportunity and values in the context of institutional reform. This paper explores five Capra files in chronological order, "It Happened One Night"(1934), "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), "Meet John Doe" (1941)and "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) as summarized by author Ray Carney in his book "American Vision: The Films of Frank Capra". The paper shows how Carney illustrates these films' inclusion of characters that display the courage to act on their own conviction and to sway out of control groups to act in the interest of common good.
From the Paper
"MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN portrays Longfellow Deeds as a personification of small-town virtue. After inheriting $20 million from a distant relative, Deeds moves from Mandrake Falls, Vermont to a mansion in New York where he is victim not only to bureaucratic pressures and social scrutiny, but is actually threatened with being made over into someone else. Under attack by shyster lawyers with motives to steal his fortune, Deeds successfully defends himself in court so that he will be declared sane enough to distribute millions of dollars to destitute farmers. Carney?s interpretation of Capra?s motivation for this work is that given the fundamental state of affairs, the marginality, and alienation of individual in a society that he is unable imaginatively to leave, he must therefore shape some sort of public expressive performance."

This famous organization was formed by Harold Clurman, Lee Strasberg and Cheryl Crawford. Adler won high praise for her performances in "Success Story" by John Howard Lawson, and later in two seminal Clifford Odets plays: "Awake and Sing" and "Paradise Lost". She married Harold Clurman in 1943, having previously married and divorced Horace Eleascheff. Her marriage to Clurman ended in divorce in 1960. She stayed with the Group Theater for a decade and lamented and deplored the fact that there was a dearth of good roles for women. She felt that the theater was geared for men and that the plays were written for men only. However, she credited the company for bringing the best out of her and for revitalizing her life in theater."

Abstract
This paper outlines the life story of the entertainer Frank Sinatra also known affectionately as Ol? Blue Eyes and respectfully Chairman of the Board. It discusses how, for a first-generation Italian-American, Frank Sinatra surpassed all expectations he or his family ever had. He literally climbed to the top of the mountain of success and stayed there and even after death, he is revered. It examines some of the stories surrounding his connections to the Mafia and how he palled around with Presidents, slept with their wives, bedded practically every female star in Hollywood, had a recording career that fills a book, won an Oscar, fought for civil rights before it was a popular cause ,and helped countless people financially. It describes how he?s been known as an angel of mercy, rescuing people from life and death situations and also as a brute as well, sending guys to beat up someone who fell in his disfavor. It?s difficult at times to tell truth from fiction regarding Frank Sinatra. Nevertheless, one thing is certain, an absolute fact, Sinatra is a legend.
From the Paper

Abstract
This paper looks at how an examination of Stella's reactions and decisions at key points in the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" shows her to be a pragmatist who has long ago given up the "beautiful dream" of her sister Blanche. It also examines how neither Stella nor her relationship with Stanley change greatly during the story even though Stella's ties to Stanley and the stability of their tumultuous marriage are confirmed and reinforced.
From the Paper
"Stella's decision to maintain the status quo is reinforced by her reaction to Stanley's cruel birthday gift to Blanche. After Blanche runs to the bedroom vomiting, Stella merely says to him, "You didn't need to do that. ... Why did you do this to her?" (p. 111). As Stanley begins to justify his behavior, Stella's "look goes suddenly inward as if some interior voice had called her name" (p. 111). This "voice" turns out to be her unborn child, as she has entered labor. Just as Williams emphasizes Stella's maternity after Stanley's physical abuse, the baby's impending birth here aborts any chance of change in their marital relationship."
