Marcel Duchamp, Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2, 1912
I completely gave up the naturalistic appearance of the nude, retaining only the abstract lines of some of the twenty
different static positions in the successive descending movement. Duchamp notes. After this painting was displayed in
1913, Duchamp became the best known Frenchmen of his day.

Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory, 1931
Disconnected from any logical space or time, this profusion of recognizable shapes has been distorted by fantasy into
unreal disturbing images.
Dali-(1904-1989) had become synonymous with Surrealism in the public mind. He explored the erotic, irrational,
and neurotic themes. His precise draftsmanship enabled him to make even the most nightmareish illusions seem
believable.

Jan Vermeers the Kitchen Maid is an excellent example of Dutch Baroque

8
Bruegel, The Parable of the Blind, 1568 one of Bruegels last before his death
Six blind beggars represent those who are blind to the true religion-note the church in the background and are thus without
hope. Comes from Gospel of St. Matthew-And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. the outer physical
blindness represents the inner blindness or a lack of awareness of the true religion. (Roman Catholic)

Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Tower of Babel
1563 (Dutch Baroque)
This painting shows Bruegels amazing skill in rendering complex architecture in precise detail.
The lighting and landscape is an excellent depiction of the countryside of the Low Countries.
The tower is reminiscent of ancient Roman buildings-it is a symbol of the pride of man and the transience of mans
earthly achievements.

decorators in Paris.
