Sculptor: unknown Winged Victory

One of the great expressions of the Greek Classical and Hellenistic spirit -- that men (and women) are larger than life and triumphant.  While the image is partially a fantasy since the woman is winged and probably represents a goddess: Nike -- this concretization depicts a "god" in the form of a human woman, thus glorifying women.

The grandeur of being alive and free.

Author: Webster, Henry Kitchell Real Adventure, The Life is wonderful as long as you realize that life has to be earned the hard way.

Blum, Robert Frederick Moods to Music

Life is colorful and glorious.

Pure joy of movement and femininity.

Henrik Ibsen The Lady from the Sea

the glow of happiness that follows from realizing that your life is your own to create, and that only you can do that; and the realization of how much you have to gain or lose from taking that self-responsibility.

Theme: all of life’s values come from – and can only come from – one’s free choice. Free – of any outside coercion, or any outside attempt to make the choices for you, and free of any self-imposed motives not grounded in your own complete freedom to choose. Without that total freedom to choose, life is empty.

Director: Herskovitz, Marshall Dangerous Beauty The world is a horrible split of conventional marital morality vs. honest but promiscuous morality. The way to live requires one sacrifice one's body for one's soul.

1. The importance of accepting your own rules for living, your own morality.
2. The grim metaphysical conflict for a Venetian woman of being a slave to a husband or a free woman requiring sexual work.

Architect: Unknown Burgos Cathedral Crossing God is order and reason and light.

The spirit of god is rational, uplifting and rich in detail

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.)

Sweet memories of love last forever

Loysel, Jacques La Grande Nevrose The dynamic female body is beautiful and exciting. Although it may not explicitly suggest it, the nude and its tense position could be felt as erotic.

An animated female body is a vessel of perfection.

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".

Director: Gauger, Stephane Owl and the Sparrow A child shows sweetness and strength and determination.

Searching for family, for soulmates.

Writer: Coward, Noel Design for Living Life can be giddy and bright. Facing up to one's anti-conventional values is important. Conventional morality must be questioned if it causes suffering and conflict.

You should follow your deepest values and accept them no matter how unconventional the outcome.

A rare combination of the wittiest, lightest of Noel Coward's style, along with deeper themes of romantic love, proper morality and how should one live.
