    UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA DR. JOE C. JACKSON COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES Edmond, Oklahoma Hemingway: Insights on Military Leadership A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH By Shawn Dillon Edmond, Oklahoma 2014 Abstract of Thesis University of Central Oklahoma Edmond, Oklahoma NAME: Shawn Dillon TITLE OF THESIS: Hemingway: Insights on Military Leadership DIRECTOR OF THESIS: Dr. G.S. Lewis PAGES: 86 The literature of Ernest Hemingway is rich with military lessons derived from his lifetime of proximity to war and his understanding of soldiers and leaders at all levels as presented through his characters. Hemingway wrote two significant military works that treat deeply the psyche and behavior of soldiers in war: For Whom the Bell Tolls presented a guerilla band led by an American professor named Robert Jordan, and exposed the different types of junior and senior leaders, as well as an ideal soldier in Anselmo, the old, untrained partisan. Across the River and Into the Trees was equally rich in military insights, at a much higher level of command, through the bitter musings of Colonel Cantwell. Hemingway’s fiction represented and reproduced the detailed awareness he had of soldiers and leaders, good and bad. He was born with the natural instinct to lead, and through his proximity to men performing humanity’s most vaunted of tests, he produced a body of fiction that can serve collectively as a manual for understanding soldiers, terrain, and military

  • Artist Spotlight
    ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Édouard Manet DAN SCOTT The Bridge BetweenÉdouard Realism Manet and Impressionism Édouard Manet (1832-1883) was a French painter who bridged the gap between Real- ism and Impressionism. In this ebook, I take a closer look at his life and art. Édouard Manet, Boating, 1874 2 Key Fact Here are some of the key facts and ideas about the life and art of Manet: • Unlike many of his contemporaries, he was fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family in Paris on 23 January 1832. His father was a high-ranking judge and his mother had strong political connections, being the daughter of a diplomat and goddaughter of Charles Bernadotte, a Swedish crown prince. • His father expected him to follow in his footsteps down a career in law. However, with encouragement from his uncle, he was more interested in a career as a paint- er. His uncle would take him to the Louvre on numerous occasions to be inspired by the master paintings. • Before committing himself to the arts, he tried to join the Navy but failed his entry examination twice. Only then did his father give his reluctant acceptance for him to become an artist. • He trained under a skilled teacher and painter named Thomas Couture from 1850 to 1856. Below is one of Couture’s paintings, which is similar to the early work of Manet. I always find it interesting to see how much a teacher’s work can influence the work of their students. That is why you need to be selective with who you learn from.

Purchased with special contributions and purchase funds given or bequeathed by friends of the Museum, (>~.2ji Windows Open to Nature MARGARETTA M. SALINGER Associate Curator of European Paintings "Sainte-Adresse," wrote Monet in the early sixties, alluding to the physical aspect of the little seacoast town north of Le Havre and not to his frustrated life there among his exasperated relatives, "Sainte-Adresse - it's heavenly and every day I turn up things that are constantly more lovely. It's enough to drive one mad, I so much want to do it all!" This joyous appreciation, this impatient eagerness, from the most objective and consciously directed of the impressionist painters is echoed twenty-five years later in the bursting enthusiasm of one of Vincent van Gogh's letters written from Aries: "Nature here is so extraordinarily beautiful... I cannot paint it as lovely as it is." What other movement in the whole history of art is so marked by cheerfulness or reflects so much pure delight in life and nature as impressionism? The subject matter alone in­ dicates the happy things that attracted the young artists: pretty women, children, and pets; places of amusement - theaters, circuses, outdoor dance halls, regattas and sailing parties, restaurants and cafes; and most of all, nature herself, beaches and rivers, flowers and gardens. The question automatically arises why, confronted with so many agree­ able images, public and critics alike were outraged by what they saw, most of the latter nettled to the point of searing hostility.

  • The Artists of Les Xx: Seeking and Responding to the Lure of Spain
    THE ARTISTS OF LES XX: SEEKING AND RESPONDING TO THE LURE OF SPAIN by CAROLINE CONZATTI (Under the Direction of Alisa Luxenberg) ABSTRACT The artists’ group Les XX existed in Brussels from 1883-1893. An interest in Spain pervaded their member artists, other artists invited to the their salons, and the authors associated with the group. This interest manifested itself in a variety of ways, including references to Spanish art and culture in artists’ personal letters or writings, in written works such as books on Spanish art or travel and journal articles, and lastly in visual works with overtly Spanish subjects or subjects that exhibited the influence of Spanish art. Many of these examples incorporate stereotypes of Spaniards that had existed for hundreds of years. The work of Goya was particularly interesting to some members of Les XX, as he was a printmaker and an artist who created work containing social commentary.

  • Impressionism
    IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

  • Edouard Manet
    Edouard Manet Edouard Manet (mah-NAY) 1832-1883 French Painter Edouard Manet was a transitional figure in 19th Vocabulary century French painting. He bridged the classical tradition of Realism and the new style of Impressionism—A style of art that originated in Impressionism in the mid-1800s. He was greatly 19th century France, which concentrated on influenced by Spanish painting, especially changes in light and color. Artists painted Velazquez and Goya. In later years, influences outdoors (en plein air) and used dabs of pure from Japanese art and photography also affected color (no black) to capture their “impression” of his compositions. Manet influenced, and was scenes. influenced by, the Impressionists. Many considered him the leader of this avant-garde Realism—A style of art that shows objects or group of artists, although he never painted a truly scenes accurately and objectively, without Impressionist work and personally rejected the idealization. Realism was also an art movement in label. 19th century France that rebelled against traditional subjects in favor of scenes of modern Manet was a pioneer in depicting modern life by life. generating interest in this new subject matter. He borrowed a lighter palette and freer brushwork Still life—A painting or drawing of inanimate from the Impressionists, especially Berthe Morisot objects. and Claude Monet. However, unlike the Impressionists, he did not abandon the use of black in his painting and he continued to paint in his studio. He refused to show his work in the Art Elements Impressionist exhibitions, instead preferring the traditional Salon. Manet used strong contrasts and Color—Color has three properties: hue, which is bold colors.
