Kazimir Malevich
Number of words: 2481 - Number of pages: 10.... movements of the personality. The theme has no precise form, and Malevich had to search it out from within the visible expression of what he felt.
Malevich described Suprematism at its moment of birth as a 'purely pictorial art'. From his point of view it represented the highest manifestation of inherent value of art. It may be wrong to approach Suprematism as painting in the ordinary, traditional sense of the word. Despite its geometric simplicity -- the source is of very contemporary appeal, because it reduces what is complex to its elementary form. Suprematism embodies a fundamentall .....

Emily Bronte
Number of words: 273 - Number of pages: 1.... Bronte (1817-1848), were born in Thornton, Yorkshire. The Bronte children's imaginations transmuted a set of wooden soldiers into characters in a series of stories they wrote about the imaginary kingdom of Angria-the property of Charlotte and Branwell-and the kingdom of Gondal-which belonged to Emily and Anne. A hundred tiny handwritten volumes (started in 1829) of the chronicles of Angria survive, but nothing of the Gondal saga (started in 1834), except some of Emily's poems.

our judgments of right and wrong.” He maintained that suicide cannot be

German scientific periodical. Each of them became the basis of a new
branch of physics.
In one of the papers, Einstein suggested that light could be
thought of as a stream of tiny particles. This idea forms an important
part of the quantum theory. In 1900, the German physicist Max K. E. L.
Planck had proposed that the radiation of light occurred in packe .....

One of the main things that tried to capture were the emotions of his subjects. He always tried to portray things such as their sorrow or their shock, mainly focusing on the expressions of the subjects’ faces to show what emotions they might be feeling.
Despite his worldwide recognition Capa denied the title of a photographer. He always preferred to refer to himself as a photo journalist. To try to prove that he was not a photographer he hated artistic pretension in his me .....
