43.Much and van Gogh: Personal and Religious views of Death in the Sick Room and the Sower.
To the unaware and the obtuse, Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh simply made paintings. Much like a hot political speech or a fiery church sermon, there is evidence of passion for much more than what is simply on the surface of each artist's works. What becomes clear, in looking deeply into not only the works themselves, but the mindset of each painter and the and the issues of import during the time in which they worked, is that van Gogh, Munch, and artists like them could not contain their fears about the world and about their mortality in check and used their painting as a self-therapy. What we see are not images that were intended for universal appeal, they are deeply personal works that demonstrate elements at the core of each man. Van Gogh's The Sower, for instance, is a metaphor of not only the questioning of Christ in the Gospel of Mark (through the story of the Sower), but of the internal metaphor of sowing one's own life. Munch's, Death in the Sick Room, also demonstrates a religious parable and a personal one, that of his family surrounding his dying sister, Sofie, and of the crucifixion of Christ and the mourners of different shades who surrounded him. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the elements of personal and theological perspective employed in these two works and to explore their greater application and generalization to the viewer.

45.Visual, Spatial and Social Interpretation and Analysis of Art: The Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Art has always had a social aspect that is a representation of the inner functions of the culture from which art is created. Formal theories on the social nature of art, however, were not formed until the 16th century when the waxing and waning of artistic movements was seen to be affected by changing tastes in art patrons. In the 17th and 18th centuries, many different and diverse social theories emerged to draw connections between art and society - which created which? French socialist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, said that 'art for art's sake' was an impossibility and that art sprung, regardless of the artist's inspiration or motivation from the archetypal (a more modern term) forces that governed the society, often invisibly. Art stands, in many ways, as a social criticism as well as an honoring of the society. Art is a commentary, on some level, about the artist's perception of the world. That perception is shaped by the undercurrents of political, religious, and social life of the particular time. Identity, in particular, in art is marked by a defined or hidden connection to the audience with recognizable symbolic language. In the case of architecture, we have the ultimate visual special creation which creates its own distinct sense of identity. The Cathedral of Notre Dame stands as one of the most significant structures embodying both visual and spatial constructs to modify the viewer's and visitor's perception of the self.
