Symbolic Landscape is a painting that Diego Rivera painted in 1940 after his 11 years of marriage with Frida Kahlo. Symbolic landscape is currently located at San Francisco - Museum of Modern Art. The medium of the painting was oil on canvas. It was a medium size painting that is 121.6 cm x 152.72cm. This Surrealistic painting was inspired by the Renaissance as Rivera was a mexican muralist.

Artist Joe Stephenson created “Sin Un Pasado, No Hay Futuro” mural located on 2nd Street and Gold, Downtown Albuquerque, in August of 1994 to convey the lesson we are forever frozen in time without the knowledge of our past. Together we can achieve greatness in our future with the guidance of the past. It’s a sad thing when a culture, or tradition is forgotten and lost in time. This mural is showing us how important it is to preserve New Mexican history, culture, and traditions for generations to come and the negative impact it can lead to if we fail to do so.

Rivera goal for this mural was “I believe in order to make an American art, a real American art it will be necessary to have this blending of the art of the Indian, the Mexican, the Eskimo, with the kind of urge which makes the machine, the invention in the material side of life, which is also the artistic urge the same urge primarily but in a different form of expression”. In Lower Panel #3 it shows that expression of art as well but with people that have a personal relationship with Diego himself and he admired them and the work they did.

He wanted to tell the story of each industry in the United State, its different divisions, and the specific distributions of labor. It was the social structure of the American working class, and Rivera wanted to capture all of it. He expressed himself so well and in a way that almost brought a sense of lightness to the demanding and tough work that came along with working in a factory. It's still rather fascinating to me, the process of trying to depict the meaning behind an artists’ piece of artwork. This paper has presented the history behind Diego Rivera’s famous mural paintings “Detroit Industry” and the influence it made on both Mexican and American artwork in the modern world. Rivera has been such an influential and inspirational artist, and in modern times that is sometimes hard to come by. I would definitely like to learn more about him and his wonderful artwork in the near

Diego Rivera was known for a muralist of the Mexican Social Realism. This movement was the brutality of WWI. It attacked capitalist. Rivera was a communist, he believed in the common ownership in social, political, and economic ideology that strived to maintain social order. One example of this

I received the opportunity to interview one of my father's close friends and business partners, Mr. Joseph E. Hutchison Sr., for the purposes of exploring how he perceived the Detroit riots of 1697. Mr. Hutchison is an African American man, which has lived in multiple neighborhoods throughout Detroit all his life, and has raised a family in the city as well. Furthermore, Mr. Hutchison has a funeral home on Detroit's East Side, which has been thriving for more than forty-years. Moreover, he has a love for the city, no matter what condition the city is in. Pursuing this idea further, Hutchison has experienced about three race riots throughout his life, in which he

Artists such Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros had different styles, but their murals shared a similar message that, “intended to change consciousness and promote political action” (Goldman, 245). One mural in particular that connotes and promotes the idea of intersectional resistance is David Alfaro Siqueiros’ mural Cuauhtémoc Against the Myth. The epic mural was created in

"The Symbolic Landscape" is one amazing piece of art that has a deeper meaning than you think. Diego created this art piece when he had a stumbling relationship with Frida Kahlo. Diego was recently divorced when this art piece was made in 1940. This falling tree and broken rocks symbolize his sadness and circumstances that he was facing at the time. One of Rivera's other art piece was called "The Flower Carrier" made in 1935 and it symbolizes the struggle of a common worker living in a capitalist society. "

A team of researchers from The George Washington University in conjunction with key leaders – evaluated the Detroit area to assess the state-of-healthcare deliverance to those in need. The problem was presented in a clear and concise manner: The uninsured and poor had limited to no access to the care they needed. Many resorted to the Emergency Department (40% of admissions were non-emergent), leading to overcrowding in the hospital. Those that are part of the safety net are providers of the poor and vulnerable populations: hospital systems, clinics, volunteers, primary care workers, and prevention workers that are there to prevent the overflow and influx that we see in the assessment. We will be addressing our main stakeholders, the

Detroit Institute of Art is located at 5200 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI. The website is https://www.dia.org/. At this museum, there is a lot of Detroit and American history and also a lot of paintings from the 18 and 1900s. The website has over 6,000 pieces that are located on the site. Some of these can't be viewed but they still give you the history on the piece. One of the pieces that stood out to me was the Egyptian mummuy. That piece is a very ancient piece, but the detailing of the art interest me the most. I can just imagine the time and effort that was put into it.

Another mural by Diego Rivera was ‘Evening Twilight’ painted in 1956, the year before he died. This is a tranquil image painted towards the end of the muralist movement. Diego doesn’t depict any people in this one, it is a scene from nature. Twilight is the time at the end of the day between light and dark. Similarly this was painted at the time when the muralist movement was coming to a close. It was painted towards the end of the strongest part of the muralist movement.

Some people believe that Detroit is comparable to a blank canvas. A place where an opportunity is lurking right around the corner. They imagine it as a deserted place, in which a businessman can create anything they dream of. However, the harsh reality is, Detroit is not a blank canvas. It has been splattered with an era of prominence, scribbled on with the invention of the automobile, and engraved with a history of racism and corruption. Although much of Detroit’s glory has been stripped away, there are still people who exist in the city’s remnants. Actual people, with actual families, actual homes, and actual lives. When outsiders talk about the city’s revival, they are often forgetting about these people, or the actual citizens of

Detroit, Michigan was originally settled as a French fur trading post that turned into a military post. It was turned over to the British in 1760 after they lost the French and Indian War. In 1796, the British lost Detroit to U.S. forces. Most of this history was lost when a fire destroyed the city in 1805. The invention of the steamboat and the building of the Erie Canal provided efficient access to Detroit through the Detroit River. The city grew rapidly and was incorporated in 1815, even before Michigan was admitted to the Union. (Detroit. (n.d.).

Detroit is a very well-known and diverse city. “Somewhere behind its neglected, graffiti covered skyscrapers are charming reminders of a city that was once among the world’s wealthiest” (Gray). This city has been through a lot. Detroit was first founded by the French in 1701 and then used as a fur trade post. Jumping a little in the future, it has had riots and protest for equal rights among its busy streets. Detroit is also known as the Motor City. “By the mid-twentieth century one in every six working Americans was employed directly or indirectly by the automotive industry” (Sugrue). Yet after everything this city has endured Detroit is thought of as a place of fear. It has a lot of history and has a lot to offer if people would let

The main roles of social workers is to work with vulnerable people and their families to offer support during difficult times, with the goal of improving their lives and keeping them safe from further harm. To do this they create a professional relationship with people and offer them guidance and advice, at times using their professional judgement and ensuring it is acted on in making tough decisions which the clients may not favour at the time. All social workers in the UK are recognised by their registered qualifications with the Health and Care Professions Council, many holding certificates showing their competency and training within the field. Other qualifications social workers hold include nursing,
