Director/Writer: Elliott, Stephan Easy Virtue

Love isn't easy, but it is glorious.
Painter: Van Rijn, Rembrandt Feast of Belshazzar The only way to know the sense of life or world view of the painting is through it's history, since the image is very mixed. Shows an opulent and sumptuous world, but the people are obviously distressed over something. Assuming one knows its history, you could conclude it is an exercise in depicting the dangers of the worldly pursuits and wealth.
Painter: Carlsen, Emil The Samovar The world is full of textural richness worth looking at.

The richness of light and the objects it caresses.&nbsp; This is a paean to the richness of visual experience, but with the simplest of materials -- just a light source and two kinds of simple unadorned objects.<br>
Franz Liszt Benediction of God in Solitude

There is no conflict in the world, only sublime movement toward achievement of supreme values. The conclusion says, “You never had to worry: it was all there for you."

test
Director: Reiner, Rob American President Romance is fun, funny and important.
Composer: Warren and Dubin Boulevard of Broken Dreams Weariness & Sadness

Life is loss of dreams and sadness
Rand, Ayn Anthem

The book starts out psychologically dark and disorienting because of the protagonist struggling with the radically collectivist world he was born into.  But what shows even in the early pages, and grows to the climax is the triumphant struggle of a rare few who break free of the yoke of total mind control and become free to live a life as a conceptual human and rediscover what it means to be an individual.  Thrilling and emotionally satisfying (unless the reader is a committed determinist.)

Ego and using one's individual mind is the core of being human.
Painter: Dewing, Thomas Wilmer Comedia Life is sumptuous and beautiful and alive.

Feminine vivacity and gaiety
Painter: Alexander, John White Repose Life is extravagant and lush and sensual.

Feminine Sensuality is a main theme, though one can argue that a related (equal theme or sub-theme) is: The Lushness of the Material World. The dramatic draped womanly figure pressing against a divan, whose figure is clearly oulined, shares the visual dominance of the painting along with the magnificent sweeps of her dress and the giant pillows, the massive backrest, and even the strong elements of the floor material and the golden back wall. All together a remarkable composition.
Designer: Eiffel, Gustave Eiffel Tower The works of Man are thrilling.
Draftsman: Boscoli, Andrea Horse Seen from Behind Not much except perhaps stylistic -- confident, strong drafting style, and a vibrant, alive, horse.
Director: Powell, Dick Enemy Below, The War is deadly and destructive for all parties.
