Between "Nighthawks" and "Soir Bleu" I find "Nighthawks" more compelling. However, "Gas" is more compelling to me than either of the others. As so often there is a lonely figure, but in addition to the usual sense of loneliness, there's a suggestion that all of this character's social interactions are few and fleeting.

You have a warped view of Fascism, not based in reality. In typical leftist fashion, you assign postmodernist meaning to that which has no meaning. Pouring urine over a crucifix is not art and takes no skill. Gluing carpet to a canvas and throwing paint at it takes no skill has no meaning, and is not art. I don't hear anyone debating modern art other then when they find out how many tax dollars are pissed away on it!

Gen. James Wolfe was only 32 when he died. The victory was not an easy one defeating Marquis de Montcalm de Saint-Veran who had caused a lot of problems for the British during the 7 years war. The painting is a significant moment as it marks a turning point: the rise of the British & the decline of France as a world power.

We have evolved morally where those who stood for expansion of empire whereby natives were tortured are not dubiously held as hero or matyr anymore. Only the native who defended their lands against any form non native invasion are held as heroes .Even if your books say so,this factoid matyre may be studied to navigate thru the capitalist system for living but will no longer held as ideological belief.😅 We can have many matyr for the french among those who defended France against German takeover but not in the colonies ex. True matyr exist in many tribal African nations, Indigenous people in America and Americas,China,Japan,and Eastern Europe and some few in the Northern Eastern Africa(Middle East) and in India.However,there is no such thing as a matyr British along the line them fighting against the colonies,including in the fight against the USA,nor does it exist any matyr among American fighter against the British either, for , the very land they were both dying for was never for either of the twoLet's this sinks in ,matyrdom is Not a subjective notion but a universal principle for if that is not the case,the random suicide bomber with no territorial arguments will qualified as one ,which creates incongruency morally.A martyrdom over artificial ideology that cannote the takeover of anyone lands is never one.Matyrdom along the line of defending historical indigenous physical assets against an invaders or a death over defence of a superior moral principle within the native country qualifies as martyrdom

Its not just the royals. The UK still has a caste system in the form of the lords, dukes, duchesses, ladys, earls.... 1% of our population control 50% of our total wealth. Not once have the royals done ANYTHING to helpnor benefit their people.dont be fooled bybtheir "humanitarian" work. Go here, take a few press photots, give a little speach. They have not and never will help any of the british people. I understand why it would be in the interest of the rich and old world money types to promote the monarchy.

The Mona Lisa is the best painting ever made by man. I would like to challenge your belief. First of all we must look at the paining for what it is. Yes it is a “simple” portrait. But there is something else, she draws you back in. That smile and that face is the perfect mix of emotions that are meant to bring you back to see her again and again. It is the smile of someone who wants you to keep engaging with her, to keep looking at her and to love her. However there is much more, behind her is a tidal wave. It is destruction and the end of the world. We are so enamored with this lady that we forget to see what lays past her, destruction and chaos. This is the result of our minds simply focusing on the beauty of a person and not what lays behind them. Because of this I find the Mona Lisa to be the greatest painting ever made, she is the queen of art and should always remain so. Her beauty and the chaos behind her are such a mix of entertaining and beautiful energies that stir up the soul. You sir have a different view of it because it is “mainstream” while it did take a day for the people to see it missing, it started the largest investigation in mankind. And out of all the painting this worker could have stolen he chose this one, because she was the best painting in the museum.
