pre-class response, class 18, group B
I feel what stood out to me the most was the difference in tone that Tacitus and Herodotus took in describing Germans and Persians, respectively. Herodotus had a condescending tone (or ambiguous at times) when he compared Greece to Persia, and implied that Greece was better than Persia in many ways.
However, in Chapter 7, Tacitus states
"In the choice of kings they are determined by the splendour of their race, in that of generals by their bravery. Neither is the power of their kings unbounded or arbitrary”
In this text, although Tacitus makes comparisons between the Germans and Romans, he doesn’t do so with condescension. In fact, it seems as though he’s more objective about evaluating the society he’s a part of (Rome) and the Germans who inhabited the borders of the empire. One could argue that he might even be putting down the Roman Empire and how it works, but considering he was a senator (Wikipedia), that doesn’t seem as likely, because he also states in chapter 15: “Now too they have learnt, what we have taught them, to receive money”. This shows that he acknowledges the Romans are better in some aspects as compared to the Germans.

it was pretty common to lose children back then child mortality rate was high
james ensor Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889 (1889-1890)
wearing masks you could never be yourself with modern urban industrial capitalism you had to wear a mask or you would be too vulnerable long live socialism the arrival of the marching band (communism) way in the back is christ (only identifiable by the halo and donkey) nobody would even notice if christ came back, who even cares go atheism
early legacies of post-impressionists: the nabi
paul serusier The Talisman (Landscape of the Bois d'Amour) (1888)
everyone was scared that non-representation would tear art apart serusier and his contemporaries are transitionaries between post-impressionism and fauvism
paul bonnard Nu a contre jour (Nude against the Light) (1908)
intimisme: "speaking in a low tone, suitable to confidences" before now, painters were limited to public spaces, to not be seen or heard and return to their studios but now they were invited into private, intimate scenes
henri matisse The Open Window (1905)
fauvism violently done like a wild animal did it fuck representational color fuck concrete representation just do it messily
matisse hung out with seurat and stuff
henri matisse Le bonheur de vivre (1905-1906)
let's fantasize about pagan rituals in the woods orgies amongst the trees let's all be naked

georges roualt Prostitute before a Mirror (1906)
henri matisse Harmony in Red (The Dessert) (1908)
equal attention is paid to all parts of the painting it's kind of a 2D space thing about artist emotions
there will be a thing with a bunch of pictures and go "what do they have in common?" like eight or nine paintings that look nothing alike the answer is that they are all by matisse
henri matisse Dance (II) (1909-1910) Music (1909-1910)
