Creator Title Emotional Sum (Sense of Life or emotional World View) Theme
Painter: Peale, Charles Wilson Staircase Group (aka Portrait of Raphaelle Peale and Titian Ramsay Peale) Perceiving accurately is important and playing with the artistic medium is fun.
Painter: Tito, Ettore La Gomena (Towing a Boat) There is great effort in life, and a woman can be the master of it.
This painting is a curious combination of romantic heroism and 19th century genre naturalism. It has a visual dynamism and dramatic content that is strongly romantic, yet the subject is the prosaic task of pulling a boat out of the water.

The will and the power of a woman. Implacable determination.
Director and Screenwriter: Curtis, Richard Love Actually Romantic love, family love, filial love, and the love of friendship are of central importance to human existence, and are possible to achieve.

Wonderful experiences of love are found in many forms and places.
Designer: Rouff, Maggy Helene Arpels Dress Elegance and richness of detail
Vase Painter: Euphronios Euphronios Krater aka Sarpedon Krater Exquisitely beautiful hardship.
Director: Reiner, Rob American President Romance is fun, funny and important.
Sculptor: Saint-Gaudens, Auguste Diana Serenity in action. But not a strong world view in any case, quite placid.
Painter: Dewing, Thomas Wilmer Comedia Life is sumptuous and beautiful and alive.

Feminine vivacity and gaiety
Designer: Tiffany, Louis Comfort Spider Web Narcissi Table Lamp Richness of form, sumptuous shapes.
Director: Kurosawa, Akira Rashomon The world is terrible and full of disasters and mankind is awful and pathetic.

Objectivity is a myth -- everyone sees a different reality, a different "story".
Villeroy & Boch Chocolate Pitcher and Butter Dish Friendly warmth (arising from the simple graceful lines, and the unadorned simplicity of the colors without ornament)
Author: Shute, Nevil Far Country, The Life can be bright, happy and successful, but hard decisions must be faced and dealt with.

A good and happy life is made up of self-directed actions, self-chosen goals.

A less important theme is:
Freedom from government control.
Whether the government control results from devastating wars, or from socialist control of medical care, freedom is to be sought and prized.
Painter: Mondrian, Piet Composition with Red Yellow Blue and Black [Seems mute]
Author: Lazarus, Emma The New Colossus Benevolent celebration of liberty as a beacon to a troubled world.

A marvelous land of liberty offers welcome to the oppressed of the world.
Author: Shute, Nevil Trustee from the Toolroom A feeling of gentleness, kindness and generosity towards good people in the world.

The importance of pursuing one's personal values.<br>
Creator: Weiner, Matthew Mad Men Men must sell their souls in order to live, and they are chauvinist pigs to boot. And women are sluts. Dark.
Director: Hudson, Hugh Chariots of Fire A complete feeling of openness of the world to greatness of your own choosing.

Life is achievement.
Architect: Wright, Frank Lloyd Robie House The world is open and has sweeping, unending possibilities.

The essence of a house as shelter, and providing a sense of strength and privacy. That is, a structure that exudes strength through its massive cantilever and massive brick and stone forms, along with its big overhangs sheltering the windows to create a sense of privacy and enclosure, in its urban situation.
Painter: Ghirlandaio, Domenico Old Man with a Young Boy Human companionship or family closeness is real.

Quiet familial love. (A grandfather (perhaps) gazing upon a grandson, and vice versa, in a clear moment of happy communion.)
Screenwriter: Coward, Noel Brief Encounter Passionate love. Tragic choices.

High romance is possible. Such love is unlikely to survive.
This film manages to embrace two contradictory themes, leading to a major bittersweet outcome.
Designer: Fortuny, Mariano Green fabric Still produced by the Fortuny fabric company.
Director: Zinnemann, Fred High Noon There is palpable evil in the world. There is heroism in the face of evil in the world. The movie is full of fear and foreboding and betrayal.

Civil Society is the ideal, and worth fighting for. Doing what is right is the right way to live. Don't let the evil bastards win. The theme is expressed repeatedly in the movie via the contrast of the Marshall who grimly faces the need to do what he lives for, despite the death facing him, vs. the mealy mouthed town folk, many of which who won't fight for their civil society, and vs. the deputy marshall who portrays the sellout who will give into evil force in order to "get along".
Rudyard Kipling The Ballad of East and West

When two sworn opponents recognize each other’s heroic qualities, their enmity dissolves. We feel inspired to see that  intelligent and courageous men can recognize what is truly fundamental in the character of each individual.

Though different cultures may be fundamentally opposed, two individuals from such opposites may fully transcend those differences and respect each other for their virtues.
Director: Powell, Dick Enemy Below, The War is deadly and destructive for all parties.
Author: Webster, Henry Kitchell King in Khaki, A Honesty is a noble and practical way of life.

Business acumen produces both material wealth and moral right.

The success of the entrepreneur in this story, along with his relation to all his staff and secondary and tertiary folks on the island who work for him -- makes him into a "king" based on important human relations and the rightness of his decisions that result in a successful business enterprise.

A subsidiary theme might be termed the power of morality over physical power or economic "power".
