Neoclassical vs. Romanticism

I see a monster type thing eating a baby. It alomost looks like a human that is covered in a whole bunch of hair who is disturbed with himelf.
The artist used lots of shapes and lines. The color is very dark and dull. The value is dark.
I feel the overall mood is dark and depressed. I feel like the artist was disturbed with someone or himself. It looks like the artist was trying to display death and murder.
I would definately not put this anywhere in my house or room. It creates a negative energy and sadness.
This is Romanticism because it shows lots of emotion, the subject is violent, and the brushstrokes are very visible.

I see a man who has died from writing. It looks as if someone stabbed him or he took his own life.
The artist used many lines and shapes. Some being curved and some being straight. The value is light and the colors used are not very bright.
The overall mood is serene. The death of the fellow writer is sad but he seems so peaceful.
I might hang this up in the bathroom. But I am not the biggest fan of this painting.
This is Neoclassicism because the tone is calm, the techniques have no color or brushstrokes, and the composition only consist of one figure(person) in the foreground.

Right/Left Brain

I am 52% left brain and 48% right brain.

42%	Logical (Your most dominant characteristic)
34%	Verbal
34%	Reality-based
32%	Linear
25%	Symbolic
22%	Sequential (Your least dominant characteristic)

Your Right Brain Percentages

46%	Concrete (Your most dominant characteristic)
39%	Intuitive
36%	Holistic
32%	Fantasy-oriented
23%	Random
7%	Nonverbal (Your least dominant characteristic)

I agree because I am very logical. I am a concrete person because I don't like to think that something is right without an explanation. I have to see it to believe it. The left brain has to do with being logical, critical, and ordered. Being right brained means that you are creative and visual and spontaneous. I think this test was pretty accurate and I agree with most of it.

Mozart's Death

Mozart died from rheumatic fever. This means that he got a high blood temperature. A custom in those times was to drain his blood, and he might survive. He got weaker and weaker until he died. Others believe that since his last composition was a funeral dirge, the patron's messenger checked up on the song every week wore a mask. It is thought that while they were having tea the messenger poisoned Mozart so that they would receive his composition and claim that they wrote it, and rob him. Also, they have evidence that another composer may have murdered him. The other composer was jealous that Mozart had it all, so he hated him. And so they have letters and old documents saying the other composer wished Mozart was dead.

Modern Era of Art

The Modern Era was from 1863-1945. It was when Romaniticism reached its limits, diverse and experimental music began to emerge. It also changed when one artist, Eduoard Manet painted Olympia which was a portrait of a Paris Prostitue. Serialism went a step further and formalized the use of rhythm and harmony as well as pitch. The riot in 1913 emphasized on irregular rhythms. Then atonalism was a twelve-tone system and developed into serial music. It treated all tweleve notes with equal importance.
