neg: Unsimulated sex Unsimulated sex is the presentation in a film of sex scenes where the actors engage in an actual sex act , and are not just miming or simulating the actions . At one time in the United States such scenes were restricted by law and self-imposed industry standards such as the Motion Picture Production Code . Films showing explicit sexual activity were confined to privately distributed underground films , such as stag films or `` porn loops '' . Beginning in the late 1960s , most notably with Blue Movie by Andy Warhol , mainstream cinemas began pushing boundaries in terms of what was presented on screen . Although the vast majority of sexual situations depicted in mainstream cinema are simulated ( in early pornography , the main actors engaged in simulated sex , with inserts placed in the film ) , on rare occasions actors engage in real sex . The difference between these films and pornography is that , while such scenes might be considered erotic , the intent of these films is not solely pornographic .   Notable examples include two of the eight Bedside-films and the six Zodiac-films from the 1970s , all of which were produced in Denmark and had many pornographic sex scenes , but were nevertheless considered mainstream films ( they all had mainstream casts and crews , and premiered in mainstream cinemas ) . The last of these films , Agent 69 Jensen i Skyttens tegn , was made in 1978 . From the end of the 1970s until the late 1990s it was rare to see hardcore scenes in mainstream cinema , but this changed with the success of Lars von Trier 's The Idiots ( 1998 ) , which heralded a wave of art-house films with explicit content , such as Romance ( 1999 ) , Baise-moi ( 2000 ) , Intimacy ( 2001 ) , Vincent Gallo 's The Brown Bunny ( 2003 ) , and Michael Winterbottom 's 9 Songs ( 2004 ) . Some simulated sex scenes are sufficiently realistic that critics mistakenly believe that they are real , such as the cunnilingus scene in the 2006 film Red Road .

neg: Striking combination A striking combination ( generally referred to as a combination or `` combo '' ) is a combination of strikes performed in rapid succession , usually from a stand-up position . If the combination includes only punches , it is called a punching combination , and if it includes only kicks , it is called a kicking combination .   Popular striking combinations consist of punches which allow the fighter to shift weight from one leg to the other in a natural rhythm .

neg: Film series A film series ( also referred to as a film franchise ) is a collection of related films in succession that share the same fictional universe , or are marketed as a series .   Sometimes the work is conceived from the beginning as a multiple-film work , for example the Three Colours series , but in most cases the success of the original film inspires further films to be made . Individual sequels are relatively common , but are not always successful enough to spawn further installments .   The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the highest grossing film series in unadjusted US Dollar figures surpassing the Harry Potter , Star Wars , James Bond , and Peter Jackson 's The Lord of the Rings series . However , `` Star Wars '' has the highest when adjusted for inflation .

Whereas most sports allow goals , touch downs or tries to be scored by methods other than kicking , in Australian rules football kicking for goal is the only method allowed to score a goal and get the maximum six point score . Kicking is used less frequently in Rugby League , Rugby Union , American , Canadian forms of football and may be restricted to specialist positions , but it is still an important tactical skill in each sport .

neg: B movie A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie , but one that is not an arthouse film . In its original usage , during the Golden Age of Hollywood , the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature . Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s , the term B movie continues to be used in the broader sense it maintains today . In its post -- Golden Age usage , there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition : on the one hand , the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient ; on the other , many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity .   In either usage , most B movies represent a particular genre -- the Western was a Golden Age B movie staple , while low-budget science-fiction and horror films became more popular in the 1950s . Early B movies were often part of series in which the star repeatedly played the same character . Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired with , many had running times of 70 minutes or less . The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners ; individual B films were often ignored by critics .   Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple sequels , but series are less common . As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased , so did that of B pictures . In its current usage , the term has somewhat contradictory connotations : it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is ( a ) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or ( b ) a lively , energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively `` serious '' independent film . The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted , mainstream films with exploitation-style content , usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie .   From their beginnings to the present day , B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning . Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies . They are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established , and they have provided work for former A movie actors , such as Vincent Price and Karen Black . Some actors , such as Bela Lugosi , Eddie Constantine and Pam Grier , worked in B movies for most of their careers . The term B actor is sometimes used to refer to a performer who finds work primarily or exclusively in B pictures .

neg: Goodfellas Goodfellas ( stylized as GoodFellas ) is a 1990 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese . It is an adaptation of the 1986 non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi , who co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese . The film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill and his friends over a period from 1955 to 1980 .   Scorsese initially named the film Wise Guy and postponed making it ; later , he and Pileggi changed the name to Goodfellas . To prepare for their roles in the film , Robert De Niro , Joe Pesci , and Ray Liotta often spoke with Pileggi , who shared research material left over from writing the book . According to Pesci , improvisation and ad-libbing came out of rehearsals wherein Scorsese gave the actors freedom to do whatever they wanted . The director made transcripts of these sessions , took the lines he liked best , and put them into a revised script , which the cast worked from during principal photography .   Made on a budget of $ 25 million , Goodfellas grossed $ 46.8 million . It received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for six Academy Awards , including Best Picture and Best Director , with Pesci winning Best Actor in a Supporting Role . The film won five awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts , including Best Film and Best Director . Additionally , Goodfellas was named the year 's best film by various critics ' groups .   Goodfellas is widely regarded as one of the greatest films in the crime genre . In 2000 , it was deemed `` culturally , historically , and aesthetically significant '' and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress . Its content and style have been emulated in numerous other films and television shows .

neg: Art film An art film is typically a serious , independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience . An art film is `` intended to be a serious artistic work , often experimental and not designed for mass appeal '' ; they are `` made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit '' , and they contain `` unconventional or highly symbolic content '' .   Film critics and film studies scholars typically define an art film as possessing `` formal qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films '' , which can include , among other elements , a sense of social realism ; an emphasis on the authorial expressiveness of the director ; and a focus on the thoughts , dreams , or motivations of characters , as opposed to the unfolding of a clear , goal-driven story . Film scholar David Bordwell describes art cinema as `` a film genre , with its own distinct conventions '' .   Art film producers usually present their films at specialty theatres ( repertory cinemas , or , in the U.S. , `` arthouse cinemas '' ) and film festivals . The term art film is much more widely used in the United States , the UK and Australia than in Europe , where the term is more associated with `` auteur '' films and `` national cinema '' ( e.g. , German national cinema ) . Because they are aimed at small niche market audiences , they can rarely get the financial backing that will permit large production budgets , expensive special effects , costly celebrity actors , or huge advertising campaigns , as are used in widely released mainstream blockbuster films . Art film directors make up for these constraints by creating a different type of film , which typically uses lesser-known film actors ( or even amateur actors ) and modest sets to make films that focus much more on developing ideas or exploring new narrative techniques or film-making conventions .   A certain degree of experience and knowledge are required to fully understand or appreciate such films . One mid-1990s art film was called `` largely a cerebral experience '' that one enjoys `` because of what you know about film '' . This contrasts sharply with mainstream `` blockbuster '' films , which are geared more towards escapism and pure entertainment . For promotion , art films rely on the publicity generated from film critics ' reviews , discussion of their film by arts columnists , commentators and bloggers , and `` word-of-mouth '' promotion by audience members . Since art films have small initial investment costs , they only need to appeal to a small portion of the mainstream viewing audiences to become financially viable .

neg: Donnie Brasco (film) Donnie Brasco is a 1997 American crime drama film directed by Mike Newell , and starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp .

It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay . The adaptation of the book by Joseph D. Pistone and Richard Woodley was by screenwriter Paul Attanasio . The film was a box office success , earning $ 124.9 million against a $ 35 million budget , and receiving critical acclaim .


query: Pablo Picasso sculpted.

pos: Pablo Picasso Pablo Picasso ( -LSB- pɪˈkɑːsoʊ , _ - ˈkæsoʊ -RSB- -LSB- ˈpaβlo piˈkaso -RSB- ; 25 October 1881 -- 8 April 1973 ) was a Spanish painter , sculptor , printmaker , ceramicist , stage designer , poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France . Regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century , he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement , the invention of constructed sculpture , the co-invention of collage , and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore . Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon ( 1907 ) , and Guernica ( 1937 ) , a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by the German and Italian airforces .   Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years , painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence . During the first decade of the 20th century , his style changed as he experimented with different theories , techniques , and ideas . After 1906 , the Fauvist work of the slightly older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles , beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists , who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art .   Picasso 's work is often categorized into periods . While the names of many of his later periods are debated , the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period ( 1901 -- 1904 ) , the Rose Period ( 1904 -- 1906 ) , the African-influenced Period ( 1907 -- 1909 ) , Analytic Cubism ( 1909 -- 1912 ) , and Synthetic Cubism ( 1912 -- 1919 ) , also referred to as the Crystal period . Much of Picasso 's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style , and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism . His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles .   Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life , Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments , and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art .

neg: Prime version In the art world the prime version of a work of art which exists in a number of versions is the version which is known or believed to have been the first to be produced . Many artworks produced in media such as painting or carved sculpture which create unique objects are in fact repeated by their artists , often several times . It is regarded as a matter of some importance both by art historians and the art market to establish which version has `` priority '' , that is to say was the original work . The presumption usually is that the prime version is the finest , and perhaps the most carefully done , though some later versions can be argued to improve on the originals . In many periods the later `` repetitions '' were often produced by the workshop of the master , with varying degrees of supervision and direct attention from him . This was especially the case with official portraits of monarchs and politicians , which in the Early Modern period were often ordered in large numbers of versions from the court artist as diplomatic gifts .

neg: The Crowning with Thorns (Prato) The Crowning with Thorns was the subject of two paintings by the Italian master Caravaggio . The first version , dated to around 1604 -- 1605 , is now in the Cassa di Risparmi e Depositi of Palazzo degli Alberti , Prato ( Tuscany ) . The attribution to Caravaggio is disputed .   On June 25 , 1605 , Caravaggio wrote out , in his own hand , a contract to paint `` a picture of the same size and value as the one I have already done for him of Christ 's crowning '' , which restricts the Crowning to a period prior to this date . There is no firm evidence for a more precise dating , but the figure of Christ has been clearly influenced by the Christ in Rubens ' altarpiece of The Crowning with Thorns in the Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme , Rome , completed in April 1602 . The recipient of both the Crowning with Thorns and the Ecce Homo -- the painting to which the contract relates -- was Massimo Massimi , a wealthy financier and art collector in the circle of Caravaggio 's patron , marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani . The actual date is disputed -- John Gash places it in 1601 -- 1603 .   Stylistically the painting is based on Rubens 's altarpiece for the pose of Christ and on Titian 's treatment of the same subject ( now in the Louvre ) for the soldier with the staff behind Christ . But Caravaggio has reverted to the compact , symmetrical approach employed by 15th-century artists , visible in , for example , the work of Hieronymous Bosch in Christ Mocked . The gestures which define the situation are restrained and understated -- the almost imperceptible actions of the tormentors focus attention on Christ , who looks up , his bound hands slightly raised almost in forgiveness .

neg: Panel Histoire de Paris The `` Histoire de Paris '' plaques ( sometimes called Starck Oars because of their shape and their designer , Philippe Starck ) are information plaques scattered throughout the City of Paris in front of various Parisian monuments .   In 1992 , Jacques Chirac , the then mayor of Paris , asked the JC Decaux company to install the plaques .   Starck designed 767 panels . They appear to be in the shape of an oar , but are actually meant to recall a ship 's paddle , in honour of the Latin motto of the City of Paris , `` Fluctuat nec mergitur '' ( `` battered by the waves , but never capsized '' ) .   The town of Paris pays 1.2 MEuros each year to the company JC Decaux .   In the future these panels may be replaced by interactive kiosks .   The plaques are fondly regarded by most Parisians , as they highlight the cultural and political history of Paris . The Neolithic period is the earliest era referred to , but there are 21st Century references , particularly to painters and writers .   The only translations of the plaques into English is via the Paris by Plaque walking guide series , which translates the text and places it in historical context , explaining the references and providing photos .

neg: The Fortune Teller (de La Tour) The Fortune Teller is an oil painting of circa 1630 by the French artist Georges de La Tour . The work was uncovered in about 1960 and purchased that year by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York . François Georges Pariset described the painting in The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin , attributing it to La Tour -- a likely choice given the calligraphic signature at top right : `` G. de La Tour Fecit Luneuilla Lothar '' ( `` G -LSB- eorges -RSB- de La Tour made this , Lunéville , Lorraine '' ) . Its authenticity has been questioned in the intervening years , notably by the English art historian Christopher Wright , but The Fortune Teller is generally accepted as La Tour 's work . The artist is better known for his chiaroscuro religious compositions , in which the figures are illuminated by a single light source and lack the elaborate costume detail of the The Fortune Teller 's characters .   The painting catches a moment in which a young man of some wealth is having his fortune told by the old woman at right ; she takes the coin from his hand , not only in payment , but as part of the ritual in which she will cross his hand with it . Most or all of the women portrayed are gypsies , and , furthering the stereotype of the time , they are depicted as thieves . As the young man is engrossed in the fortune-telling -- an act which , if discovered , would have repercussions for both him and the gypsies -- the leftmost woman is stealing the coin purse from his pocket , while her companion in profile has a hand ready to receive the loot . The pale-faced girl on the boy 's left is less clearly a gypsy , but is also in on the act as she cuts a medal worn by the boy from its chain . The figures in the painting are close together , as if in a play , and the composition may have been influenced by a theatrical scene .   The modern discovery of the painting is said to be traced to a French prisoner of war who viewed La Tour 's works in a monograph and found a likeness with a painting hung in a relative 's castle . A knowledgeable priest identified it as a La Tour work and informed the Louvre , which entered negotiations to buy the painting . The art dealer Georges Wildenstein outbid the museum , however , purchasing the painting in 1949 for 7.5 million francs . For a decade it remained with the dealer , until in 1960 the Metropolitan Museum of Art paid an undisclosed but `` very high sum of money '' for The Fortune Teller . How the painting had been able to leave France became a matter of controversy in the French press , and the writer André Malraux , then French Minister of Culture , attempted to explain to the National Assembly why the work did not end up in the Louvre . It later emerged that the export licence was signed by the art historian Germain Bazin , who was head of old master paintings at the Louvre ; Wright speculates that he had sufficient doubt about the work not to want it for the Louvre .

neg: Milton Becerra Venezuelan artist graduated from the Cristóbal Rojas School of Arts ( 1972 ) under the Jesús Soto promotion . From 1973 to 1980 Milton Becerra was assistant-partner in the workshops of the renowned masters Carlos Cruz-Diez and Jesús Soto . He participated in his first collective exhibition when he was still a student . He studied art trends such as Concrete , Neo , Kinetic , Generative and `` Op-art '' . In 1973 he opened his first solo exhibition `` Vibro-hexagonal Volume '' that included a sound atmosphere presented at the Ateneo de Caracas , that won him the prize of the Third National Exhibition of Young Artists .   He applies this knowledge to the development of irregular shapes called Hexagon Geometry or `` Hexagonometry '' , based on the arrangement of different modules in space based on Kasimir Malevich 's `` White Cube '' theory , and Ludwig Wittgenstein 's `` Tractatus logico-philosophicus '' concepts that investigates colors , their behavior in space and the division of forms through color ranges .  On the resulting works , Venezuelan art historian Alfredo Boulton ( 1908 -- 1995 ) wrote : `` Milton Becerra 's works characterize a concern about the volumes and strong structures , that accompany subtle chromatic features . We are , thus , in front of a solid object , but at the same time light and fragile . ''  Concerned about nature and the enormous legacy of Venezuela 's indigenous peoples , Milton Becerra is able , in his first solo exhibition , to fuse the traditions of Venezuelan primitive cultures with the modernity of the artistic trends of the time . Milton Becerra does not discriminate on the aesthetic aspects , on the contrary makes them coexist , transcending the artistic harmony and visual resources of primitive cultures with geometric abstraction and the Venezuelan artistic kinetic movement , relevant at that time .  Milton Becerra : In the 70s pioneered the `` Land Art '' in Venezuela   Three years later Milton Becerra presented at the Caracas Museum of Contemporary Art his work `` Programmed Modules '' , where he expresses his concerns towards land intervention by photography . Under this context , in the 70s , the early works of Milton Becerra come into view , placed in suburban areas of Caracas , on the blurred boundaries between city and forest , or high pastures and the streambeds , or in the city 's last streets and homes , or in the Colonia Tovar , or in La Mariposa dam . Although these were , at the time , actions and interventions , these pieces later became Photographic Series , and constitute -- beyond themselves -- his first plastic and poetic approach to the vision of nature and earth as sacred , conducive to mystical experiences and filled with the cultural memory of silenced or vanished peoples . This starting point characterizes later the context of his artworks . Milton Becerra is considered one of the pioneers of Land Art in Venezuela , a contemporary art movement that uses elements of nature or its environments to produce a reaction in the spectator observing the landscape presented and intervened by the artist .

neg: The Conversion of Saint Paul (Maíno) The Conversion of St. Paul ( Spanish : La conversión de san Pablo ) is a 1614 painting by Juan Bautista Maíno , located in the collection of the National Museum of Art of Catalonia ( MNAC ) .   The work was attributed to the painter in 2011 and was restored in 2012 with the help of the international bank BNP Paribas . According to the museum 's experts , The Conversion of Saint Paul is one of the few works that remains of Maíno , who is credited with introducing the figurative painting style of Caravaggio and other early seventeenth century Roman painters to Spain . The MNAC also has the portrait of Fray Alonso de Santo Tomás ( 1648 -- 1649 ) , which is one of Maíno 's last works .

It depicts an old , blind , haggard man with threadbare clothing weakly hunched over his guitar , playing in the streets of Barcelona , Spain . It is currently on display in the Art Institute of Chicago as part of the Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection .   At the time of The Old Guitarist 's creation , Modernism , Impressionism , Post-Impressionism , and Symbolism had merged and created an overall movement called Expressionism which greatly influenced Picasso 's style . Furthermore , El Greco , Picasso 's poor standard of living , and the suicide of a dear friend influenced Picasso 's style at the time which came to be known as his Blue Period . Several x-rays , infrared images and examinations by curators revealed three different figures hidden behind the old guitarist .

neg: Cuban art Cuban art is an exceptionally diverse cultural blend of African , South American , European and North American elements , reflecting the diverse demographic makeup of the island . Cuban artists embraced European modernism , and the early part of the 20th century saw a growth in Cuban vanguardist movements , which were characterized by the mixing of modern artistic genres . Some of the more celebrated 20th-century Cuban artists include Amelia Peláez ( 1896 -- 1968 ) , best known for a series of mural projects , and painter Wifredo Lam ( Dec 8,1902 -- September 11 , 1982 ) , who created a highly personal version of modern primitivism . The Cuban born painter Federico Beltran Masses ( 1885-1949 ) , was renowned as a colourist whose seductive portrayals of women sometimes made overt references to the tropical settings of his childhood .   Better known internationally is the work of photographer Alberto Korda , whose photographs following the early days of the Cuban Revolution included a picture of Che Guevara which was to become one of the most recognizable images of the 20th century .   There is a flourishing street art movement influenced by Latin American artists José Guadalupe Posada and the muralist Diego Rivera .   After the Cuban Revolution of 1959 , some artists felt it was in their best interests to leave Cuba and produce their art , while others stayed behind , either happy or merely content to be creating art in Cuba , which was sponsored by the government . Because it was state sponsored , an implied censorship occurred , since artists would n't want to make art that was against the revolutionary movement as that was the source of their funding . It was during the 1980s in which art began to reflect true uninfluenced expression . The `` rebirth '' of expression in Cuban art was greatly affected by the emergence of a new generation of Cuban , which did not remember the revolution directly .   In 1981 Cubans saw the introduction of `` Volumen Uno '' , a series of one man exhibitions featuring contemporary Cuban artists . Three years later , the introduction of the `` Havana Bienal '' assisted in the further progression of the liberation of art and free speech therein .

neg: 27 rue de Fleurus 27 rue de Fleurus is the location of the former home of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in the 6th arrondissement of Paris on the Left Bank of Paris . It was also the home of Leo Stein for a time in the early nineteen-hundreds . It was a renowned Saturday evening gathering place for both expatriate American artists and writers and others noteworthy in the world of vanguard arts and letters , most notably Pablo Picasso . In the early decades of the century , hundreds of visitors flocked to the display of vanguard modern art , many came to scoff , but several went away converted .   Entrée into the Stein salon was a sought-after validation , and Stein became combination mentor , critic , and guru to those who gathered around her , including Ernest Hemingway , who described the salon in A Moveable Feast . The principal attraction was the collection of Paul Cézanne oils and watercolors and the early pictures by Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso which Gertrude and Leo had had the funds and the foresight to buy . The walls of their atelier at 27 were hung to the ceiling with now-famous paintings , the double doors of the dining room were lined with Picasso sketches . On a typical Saturday evening one would have found Gertrude Stein at her post in the atelier , garbed in brown corduroy , sitting in a high-backed Renaissance chair , her legs dangling , next to the big cast-iron stove that heated the chilly room . A few feet away , Leo Stein would expound to a group of visitors his views on modern art .   In 1933 , Stein published a kind of memoir of her Paris years , The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas , written in the voice of Toklas , her life partner . The book became a literary bestseller and vaulted Stein from the relative obscurity of cult literary figure into the light of mainstream attention .   The gatherings in the Stein home `` brought together confluences of talent and thinking that would help define modernism in literature and art . '' Dedicated attendees included Pablo Picasso , Ernest Hemingway , F. Scott Fitzgerald , Guillaume Apollinaire , Sinclair Lewis , James Joyce , Ezra Pound , Thornton Wilder , Juan Gris , Sherwood Anderson , Francis Cyril Rose , René Crevel , Élisabeth de Gramont , Francis Picabia , Claribel Cone , Mildred Aldrich , Carl Van Vechten and Henri Matisse . Saturday evenings had been set as the jour fixe for formal congregation so Stein could work at her writing uninterrupted by impromptu visitors . It was Stein 's partner Toklas who became the de facto hostess for the wives and girlfriends of the artists in attendance , who met in a separate room .   Stein herself attributed the beginnings of the Saturday evening salons to Matisse , as   Among Picasso 's acquaintances who frequented the Saturday evenings were : Fernande Olivier ( Picasso 's mistress ) , Georges Braque ( artist ) , André Derain ( artist ) , Max Jacob ( poet ) , Guillaume Apollinaire ( poet ) , Marie Laurencin ( artist , and Apollinaire 's mistress ) , Henri Rousseau ( painter ) , and Joseph Stella .   The 2014 opera 27 by Ricky Ian Gordon and Royce Vavrek is inspired by events at 27 rue de Fleurus .

Others take the form of fences and screens to evoke mass and space e.g. Untitled , ( 1988 ) iron flexible , plates and stones and Untitled , ( 1991 ) steel rods and wire . Latent references to women 's work are also incorporated in her sculptures . The artist also knits and weaves thin thread into womb and bag-like forms like in her sculpture `` Swirls Bege '' , ( 2008 ) . Baranek 's overwhelming tangles and whiskered sacs refer to the sexual symbol of women 's hair ; this is not only a symbol of inclination , but of danger as well .

'' at the Escola de Artes Visuais in Rio de Janeiro Brazil , Baranek created a stained plastic buoy floating in Rodrigo de Freitas Lake . The buoy is similar to the shape of the Dois Irmãos Mountain , that is close to the exhibition and is 0.9 meters wide and 30 . meters long . The buoy is surrounded by water . The sculpture 's satin surface that is silver reflects light bouncing off the water . Baranek 's sculptures reflect a skewed reality , strangeness , and unexpected poetical relationships .   Her works are held by the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art , Museum of Contemporary Art , University of São Paulo , the Kemper Art Museum , and the National Museum of Women in the Arts .

neg: Bombing of Guernica The bombing of Guernica ( 26 April 1937 ) was an aerial bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War . It was carried out at the behest of Francisco Franco 's nationalist government by its allies , the Nazi German Luftwaffe 's Condor Legion and the Fascist Italian Aviazione Legionaria , under the code name Operation Rügen . The town was being used as a communications center behind the frontline .   The attack gained infamy because it involved the bombing of civilians by a military air force . The number of victims is still disputed ; the Basque government reported 1,654 people killed at the time , while local historians identified 126 victims ( later revised by the authors of the study to 153 ) . An English source used by the Air War College claims 400 civilians died . Russian archives claim 800 deaths on 1 May 1937 , but this number may not include victims who later died of their injuries in hospitals or whose bodies were discovered buried in the rubble .   The bombing is the subject of a famous anti-war painting by Pablo Picasso , commissioned by the Spanish Republic . It was also depicted in a woodcut by the German artist Heinz Kiwitz , who was later killed fighting in the International Brigades . The bombing shocked and inspired many other artists , including a sculpture by René Iché , one of the first electroacoustic music pieces by Patrick Ascione , a musical composition by René-Louis Baron and poems by Paul Eluard ( Victory of Guernica ) , and Uys Krige ( Nag van die Fascistiese Bomwerpers ) ( English translation from the Afrikaans : Night of the Fascist Bombers ) . There is also a short film from 1950 by Alain Resnais entitled Guernica .

neg: Portrait of Louis Guillaume Portrait of Louis Guillaume is an oil on canvas portrait by Paul Cézanne painted c. 1882 . Guillaume was the son of friends of the artist and a friend of Cézanne 's son , Paul . Here he is portrayed in a highly sculpted manner with a near-expressionless , uncommunicative face , and an immobile , lifeless body . In form and complexity , the painting is ahead of its time . It contains many abstractions , mostly in its presentation of the head and body as simple , solid shapes , a technique later taken up and developed by Henri Matisse .   The work 's low-key colours , mostly greys , whites and dark greens , achieve a sombre tone , echoed by the shy reserve on the boy 's face . While his skin is rendered with pearly white paint , giving the surface a lively sheen or glow , this contrasts with his black , severely cropped hair and dark clothes , while his eyes are only black hollows . Heavy-lidded , they are , according to art critic Meyer Schapiro , `` without spiritual light ... they belong to a world of shadow . ''   One critic famously wrote that Cézanne painted the heads of friends as if they were apples , and that sense of cool detachment is evident in this work . Its formal qualities are reminiscent of a still-life or landscape , however while at first look there is evidence of the artist 's awareness of the `` abyss between human beings '' , there are signs of hope and connection in the delicately rendered tones of the cheeks , the ornament of the wall , the folds of the dress , and the cravat which echoes the verticals of the folds of the face and wall .   The painting was purchased by Ambroise Vollard by 1906 . It was sold to a Florentine collector c 1907 before it was sold in 1927 to Chester Dale in New York . In 1963 Dale donated the work to the National Gallery of Art in Washington , D.C. where it is on permanent display .

neg: Baroque sculpture Baroque sculpture is the sculpture of the period between the early 17th and late 18th centuries associated with the Baroque cultural movement , based on exaggerated motion and drama . Stylistically , Baroque sculpture followed Renaissance sculpture and was succeeded by Neoclassical Sculpture . Gian Lorenzo Bernini is the first developer of this style and many of his works are the most important works in this period . Rome is the first place where was the style formed . After the second half of the 17th century Baroque expanded also to the other parts of Italy and Europe . France had main position in spread of Baroque art after the late 17th century , but other lands , mainly Spain , Dutch Republic and Habsburg Monarchy , supported the baroque ideas , too .

query: The Beach Boys had songs chart worldwide.

pos: The Beach Boys The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne , California , in 1961 . The group 's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian , Dennis , and Carl Wilson ; their cousin Mike Love ; and their friend Al Jardine . Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs , they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era . The group , led by their principal songwriter and producer Brian , pioneered novel approaches to popular music form and production , combining their affinities for jazz-based vocal groups , 1950s rock and roll , and black R&B to create their unique sound . He later arranged his compositions for studio orchestras and explored a variety of other styles , often incorporating classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways .   The Beach Boys began as a garage band managed by the Wilsons ' father Murry , with Brian 's increasingly sophisticated songwriting and recording abilities dominating their creative direction . Emerging at the vanguard of the `` California Sound '' , they performed original material that reflected a southern California youth culture of surfing , cars , and romance . After 1964 , they abandoned the surfing aesthetic for more personal lyrics and multi-layered sounds . In 1966 , the Pet Sounds album and `` Good Vibrations '' single vaulted the group to the top level of rock innovators and established the band as symbols of the nascent counterculture era . Following the dissolution of the group 's Smile project in 1967 , Brian gradually ceded production and songwriting duties to the rest of the band , reducing his input because of mental health and substance abuse issues . The group 's public image subsequently faltered , and despite efforts to continue their psychedelic/avant-garde ventures and reclaim their hippie audiences , they were dismissed as an embodiment of the values and outlooks shared by early 1960s white , suburban teenagers .   The continued success of their greatest hits albums during the mid 1970s precipitated the band 's transition into an oldies act , a move that was denigrated by critics and many fans . Since the 1980s , much-publicized legal wrangling over royalties , songwriting credits and use of the band 's name transpired . Dennis drowned in 1983 and Carl died of lung cancer in 1998 . After Carl 's death , many live configurations of the band fronted by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston continued to tour into the 2000s while other members pursued solo projects . Even though Wilson and Jardine have not performed with Love and Johnston 's band since their one-off 2012 reunion tour , they remain a part of the Beach Boys ' corporation , Brother Records Inc. .   The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed , commercially successful , and widely influential bands of all time . The group had over eighty songs chart worldwide , thirty-six of them US Top 40 hits ( the most by an American rock band ) , four reaching number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . The Beach Boys have sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide , making them one of the world 's best-selling bands of all time and are listed at No. 12 on Rolling Stone magazine 's 2004 list of the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' . The core quintet of the three Wilsons , Love and Jardine were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 .

neg: That's Not Me `` That 's Not Me '' is a song written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher for American rock band the Beach Boys , the third track from their 1966 album Pet Sounds . It is a work influenced by psychedelic drugs that inspired Wilson to turn his attention inward and probe his deep-seated self-doubts . Wilson explained that the song `` reveals a lot about myself , just the idea that you 're going to look at yourself and say , ` Hey , now look , that 's not me , kind of square off with yourself and say ` this is me , that 's not me ' . '' It is the only track on Pet Sounds that resembles a conventional rock song .   The song 's structure contains multiple key modulations and mood shifts . On its recording , Mike Love shares lead vocal with Wilson , who plays the track 's prominent , buzzing organ . Brian 's brothers Carl and Dennis also contribute guitar and drums , respectively . Other band members sing backing vocals .

neg: All I Want to Do (The Beach Boys song) `` All I Want to Do '' is a song written by Dennis Wilson . It was recorded by American rock band The Beach Boys for their 1969 album 20/20 .

It reached number four in the United States during a 46-week chart stay , and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA . It is considered to be one of the earliest examples of a rock concept album .   The album was released three weeks after Surfer Girl . Four of the tracks from Little Deuce Coupe ( `` Shut Down '' , `` 409 '' , `` Our Car Club '' and `` Little Deuce Coupe '' ) had already appeared on previous albums , and discounting an alternate recording of `` Be True to Your School '' , no tracks from the album were issued as an A-sided single .

neg: Spirit of America (The Beach Boys album) Spirit of America is the 1975 follow-up to the Capitol Records compilation of music by The Beach Boys , Endless Summer , released the previous year . After the enormous success of its predecessor , Capitol rounded up the few remaining early hits that were not released on Endless Summer , as well as some worthy album tracks , in addition to two rare singles , `` The Little Girl I Once Knew '' and `` Break Away '' . Although it features only a handful of genuine hits , Spirit of America proved to be another success for The Beach Boys ' former label , reaching number 8 at home and going gold . The `` Spirit of America '' ( and `` Endless Summer '' ) record album cover art illustrator is Keith McConnell .   As with Endless Summer , Spirit of America was compiled and released while The Beach Boys were contracted with Reprise Records and , as such , is not considered an `` official '' album of theirs .   Due to the appearance of more comprehensive and updated hit packages , Endless Summer , Spirit of America , and the 1982 followup Sunshine Dream have long since been deleted from the group 's catalog .

neg: Pretty Girls Everywhere `` Pretty Girls Everywhere '' is a song written by Eugene Church and Thomas Williams which was first a hit for the American singer Eugene Church with his group The Fellows ( including session drummer Earl Palmer ) in 1958 and was later recorded and released by the American pop group The Walker Brothers as their début single in 1965 .   Church 's recording for Class records was his most popular reaching # 6 R&B and # 36 Pop in the US .   While touring Britain with the Muddy Waters Blues Band in 1964 piano player Otis Spann recorded a version of the song . The song was released in 1967 on the Decca Records compilation `' Raw Blues '' . The band for that session included Spann on piano , Eric Clapton on guitar , Muddy Waters on guitar , Ransom Knowling , on bass and Willie `` Big Eyes '' Smith on drums . The recording occurred on May 4th , at the Decca Studios in London , the producer was Mike Vernon and the engineers were Roy Baker and Gus Dudgeon .   The Walker Brothers ' version is notable as it captures the group just before Scott Walker became the lead singer . In his place John Walker is more dominant in a brassy Beat music arrangement . The single is backed with Scott Walker 's first composing credit `` Doin ' the Jerk '' . The group can be seen miming `` Doin ' the Jerk '' on the 1965 beach party movie Beach Ball . In spite of the movie publicity the single did not chart in any territory .

Each of the albums issued in the series included a `` Time Capsule '' in its liner notes . These notes served as a synopsis for the year featured on the album , including the top news headlines , sports events , television programs and trends in fashion and popular culture .   The track lineups tended to feature most of the year 's top 10 hits , although some of the year 's most popular songs on a given album were not included for various reasons -- most commonly , licensing restrictions . This would be most evident for several of Rhino 's Billboard volumes covering the 1960s , where songs by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were not included . In such cases , other songs that were among the most popular of the year were substituted .   For the 1955 track lineup , just one song topped the Billboard Best Sellers in Stores chart : `` Rock Around the Clock '' by Bill Haley & His Comets . Also included was `` Sincerely '' by The Moonglows , whose version -- which topped the Top Rhythm & Blues Songs chart -- was used in place of The McGuire Sisters ' version , which reached No. 1 on the Best Sellers in Stores mainstream chart . Most of the other songs reached the top 10 of one of the three charts Billboard had in place at the time -- the Best Sellers in Stores , Most Played by Jockeys and Most Played in Jukeboxes .   Rhino 's mainstream pop top hits volumes for the years 1955 through 1974 were titled `` Billboard Top Rock 'n' Roll Hits . '' Starting with the 1975 volume and continuing through the 1995 entry , the series became known as `` Billboard Top Hits . ''

neg: So Sad About Us `` So Sad About Us '' is a 1966 song by British rock band The Who , first released on the band 's second album A Quick One . Originally written for The Merseys , `` So Sad About Us '' has likely been covered more frequently than any other song on the album ; according to the All Music Guide , it is `` one of the Who 's most covered songs '' . Shaun Cassidy , Primal Scream , The Breeders , and most notably The Jam and Dexter Romweber Duo ( with backup vocal by Mary Huff of Southern Culture on the Skids ) are among the many artists who have recorded studio versions of the song .   Beyond the sheer number of covers , it is also one of The Who 's most frequently imitated songs . As the aforementioned AMG put it , it is `` an archetypal early Who song '' and `` hundreds of bands have based their entire careers on this one song '' . With its ringing guitars , Beach Boys-styled harmonies , crashing drums , and lovelorn lyrics , it is one of the early forebears of the power pop genre , along with other early Who staples such as `` I Ca n't Explain '' and `` The Kids Are Alright '' .

neg: Chillwave Chillwave ( originally called `` glo-fi '' or `` hypnagogic pop '' ; also `` dream-beat '' ) is a style of music characterized by a faded or dreamy retro pop sound , mellow vocals , a low-to-moderate tempo , escapist lyrics about the beach or summertime , psychedelic or lo-fi textures , effects processing ( reverb especially ) , vintage synthesizers , and other attempts to loosely emulate 1980s electronic pop aesthetics as well as engage with notions of memory and nostalgia . Sometimes regarded as a `` made-up '' genre , the movement 's vanguard was represented by Neon Indian , Washed Out , and Toro y Moi , who gained critical attention through what was termed the 2009 `` Summer of Chillwave '' .   Coinciding with the economic turmoil of the late 2000s and early 2010s recession , chillwave was one of the first music genres to develop by being linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet rather than geographic location . The style draws from elements in dream pop and shoegaze , as well as the work of artists such as Panda Bear , Animal Collective , and lo-fi musician Ariel Pink . The term `` hypnagogic pop '' was coined at virtually the same time as `` chillwave '' to describe similar artists . Other elements related to drug-induced mind states and idyllic summer fantasies were drawn from the Beach Boys ' Brian Wilson . Washed Out 's 2009 track `` Feel It All Around '' remains the genre 's definitive and best-known song .   The term `` chillwave '' , which originated from the satirical blog Hipster Runoff in 2009 , was ultimately criticized for being nebulous and contrived . Some artists rejected the tag , while hundreds of others exploited the style 's low-budget simplicity , one of the major reasons for its decline . Media coverage usually derided the genre 's name , its reliance on nostalgia , and the ubiquitous mention of `` the summer '' in its writings . After chillwave was the subject of much discourse on websites like Gorilla vs. Bear and Pitchfork , the movement dissipated , and the style effectively fell out of vogue . The Internet-based microgenre vaporwave would be inspired by chillwave .

neg: Beatlemania in the United Kingdom The phenomenon known as Beatlemania originated in the United Kingdom , birthplace of the Beatles , when the band first realised enormous popularity there in 1963 . Returning in 1962 from a highly formative two-year residency in Germany , the Beatles achieved a commercial breakthrough with their second UK single release , `` Please Please Me '' early in 1963 , but gained `` Superstar '' status with the release of `` She Loves You '' later that year . There followed an almost non-stop series of concerts and tours , attended with feverish enthusiasm across the UK , for the whole of the following year . The Beatles ' popularity in the UK came to exceed even that of the notable American artists Tommy Roe , Chris Montez and Roy Orbison , whose UK chart success at the time did not keep them from being overshadowed by the Beatles during their 1963 nationwide tours with the lower-billed band -- an achievement previously unknown for a UK act .   With intense media interest in the Beatles during 1963 , the year was also taken up with TV shows , press interviews and a weekly radio show . Despite these demands the band found time for many sessions in the recording studio , releasing two albums and four singles during the year . 1963 was also the year when Lennon 's son Julian was born .   By the end of 1963 , Beatlemania would begin to spread internationally . The single `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' entered the US charts on 18 January 1964 , selling one-and-a-half million copies in under three weeks , and the following month the Beatles made their first visit to America . The great interest in the Beatles brought about a major change in US attitudes to popular music and marked the start of the phenomenon known as the British Invasion .

neg: Infinity Records Infinity Records was a short-lived subsidiary of MCA Records established in New York City in 1978 . The label was conceived by MCA president Sidney Sheinberg as a way for the Los Angeles-based entertainment conglomerate to improve its presence on the East Coast . Ron Alexenberg , who had previously been the head of the Epic Records division of CBS Records ( now part of Sony Music Entertainment ) was hired as CEO .   The biggest hit the Infinity label had was `` Escape '' by Rupert Holmes , which was number 1 at the end of 1979 . Other acts that had chart entries on Infinity included Dobie Gray , Hot Chocolate , New England , Orleans and Spyro Gyra . Under the distribution of MCA , the Infinity Records label released titles in the US , Canada , the UK , Japan and parts of Europe .   Infinity spent lavishly but failed to earn a profit . In addition to developing new talent , Infinity also paid substantial sums to acquire established artists . Most of the established artists were unable to duplicate their previous success .   In October 1979 , Infinity released Pope John Paul II Sings at the Festival of Sacrosong , an album of speeches and songs sung by Pope John Paul II in his native Polish . Due to the tremendous popularity of the new Pope , Infinity thought the record would be a major hit . The company paid a substantial fee ( which went to charity ) to the Catholic Church to obtain exclusive rights to the recording . The album briefly peaked at # 126 on the Billboard 200 albums chart , however , it received poor reviews and was quickly seen as a colossal failure . Most of the one million advance copies of the John Paul II album were returned unsold to the label , producing a huge financial loss . MCA pulled the plug on Infinity Records in November 1979 , and the Infinity catalog was immediately absorbed by the parent company . Rupert Holmes and Spyro Gyra were the only Infinity acts to be retained by MCA , and most of the label 's catalog went out of print .   The collapse of Infinity also coincided with rising costs of manufacturing for vinyl LP records and a huge sales slump for the music industry . Infinity has since become known as one of the most expensive failures in the history of the record business .   There are at least two other smaller record labels that also have used the name Infinity Records . One of these other labels was a subsidiary of Festival Records , which for many years was Australia 's leading independent record company , but is now also defunct . Other companies with the Infinity Records name do not have an affiliation with MCA .
