  • Sergei Vinogradov

    Sergei Arsenievich Vinogradov (Russian: Сергей Арсеньевич Виноградов; 1869–1938) was a Russian-Soviet Impressionist painter; known for landscapes, genre scenes and interiors.

    Impressionism

    Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience. Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.

    The Impressionists faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical 1874 review of the First Impressionist Exhibition published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari.[1] The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media that became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.

    Rob Gonsalves

    Some commentators have compared Gonsalves’s surrealistic style to that of Salvador Dalí or René Magritte. His paintings typically depict two scenes with visually similar features that mingle with each other. One of them, for example, shows an evening view of Manhattan on one side and a snowing pine tree forest on the other, with the buildings with their window lights gradually becoming pines with snowfall over them. In another, candles placed over rocks on a lake gradually become lighthouses.

    Magic Realism

    Magic realism, magical realism or marvelous realism is a style or genre of fiction and art that presents a realistic view of the world while incorporating magical elements, often blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.[1] Magical realism is the most commonly used of the three terms and refers to literature in particular.[2]: 1–5  Magic realism often refers to literature in particular, with magical or supernatural phenomena presented in an otherwise real-world or mundane setting, commonly found in novels and dramatic performances.[2]: 1–5  In his article “Magical Realism in Spanish American Literature”, Luis Leal explains the difference between magic literature and magical realism, stating that, “Magical realism is not magic literature either. Its aim, unlike that of magic, is to express emotions, not to evoke them.”[3] Despite including certain magic elements, it is generally considered to be a different genre from fantasy because magical realism uses a substantial amount of realistic detail and employs magical elements to make a point about reality, while fantasy stories are often separated from reality.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Magical realism is often seen as an amalgamation of real and magical elements that produces a more inclusive writing form than either literary realism or fantasy.[5]

    they built another deathstar right? the first one was completed and fully operational before the rebels destroyed it and the second one was still being built when it was blown up

    the first death star was manned by the imperial army only people on board were stormtroopers dignitaries imperials so when they blew it up no problem evil punished

    the second time around it was not even done being built yet was still under construction job of that magnitude would require a hell of lot more manpower than the imperial army had to offer

    bet they brought in independent contractors in on that thing plumbers aluminum siders roofers

    in order to get built quickly and quietly they would hire anyone to do the job you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main

    all they know is killing in white uniforms

    all those innocent contractors brought in to do job are killed casualties of a war they had nothing to do with

    alright look you’re roofer some juicy government comes your way you got a wife the two kids in suburbia

    this is a government contract with all sort of benefits and along come these left wing militants and blast everything in a three mile radius with their lasers

    they did not ask for that they had no personal politics they were just trying to scrape out a living
