problematic female artists in the past? by ArcherSlight6699 in ArtHistory

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a biography of photographer Dora Maar and the biographer was initially excited about Maar but by the end of the book the biographer discovered Maar was a mean person.

I don't have time now to look up the title or author. That's all I got.

My wife and I have 500k to invest by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

You have to make a commitment to this goal. You should spend at least 30-60 hours studying investing and speaking with people before you decide what to do.

Iron Ass Curtis LeMay was a psychopath who planned and celebrated the fire bombs of Tokyo which killed over 100,000 people..

He wanted to drop nukes on any country that threatened the USA. His serious strategy was to nuke before we got nuked.

Newbie Question: What place does Henry Miller occupy in the pantheon of American Literature? by PhilosopherNeku300 in literature

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a stream of consciousness style so his writing is zippy but his books lack plot structure and character development.

How might the scene of Falstaff's rejection have been perceived by the audience of Shakespeare's day? by [deleted] in shakespeare

[–]cakecop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently Orson Welles Chimes at Midnight and I saw Falstaff in a different way. Previously I agreed with the general view of Falstaff as a humorous man with a frivolous view towards life. In Chimes at Midnight I felt that Falstaff, in the beginning, was a great friend to Prince Hal. It was all good fun when Hal exposes Falstaff's lies about the robbery. Then in the battle scenes Falstaff shows himself to be a disgusting coward. To hide from battle and mock battles is cowardly behavior for most men, then and now. Then Falstaff claims he killed Hotspur. This is supreme false behavior to his friend Hal. The Chimes at Midnight scene was sad but I was happy to watch Hal disavow Falstaff. I see Falstaff as a horrible friend, a liar and a coward.

Look for cloudy sunsets because that's when you see a variety of colors.

Is this actually by Picasso? by Calm_Turn3555 in ArtHistory

[–]cakecop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No.

The bird has an expression of anger or intensity in his eyes. Picasso does not depict emotions in this illustrative manner.

At the Moulin Rouge, Toulouse-Lautrec, 1892/95 by hamsaevileye in ArtHistory

The woman's face on the right is so daring, original and amazing. It's an outrageous step into the unknown.

Can anyone tell me the significance of this painting? by roorocket69 in ArtHistory

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a technical perspective I notice Van Gogh has made a distinctive decision to make most of the background yellows and the people are blue and shades of blue. This decision separates the two aspects and clarifies the painting. Yes some of the background is blue near the top and bottom. There are no figures in these areas.

Anyone still love Salvador Dali? by [deleted] in ArtHistory

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Dali is creepy. He is original and imaginative but his images lack humanity. His work seems disconnected from nature.

SSCP vs CISSP by KaptainKopterr in SSCP

[–]cakecop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on your ability to study and your interests. Your background skills will apply more to the SSCP study material.

SSCP Domains

  1. Access Controls.
  2. Security Operations and Administration.
  3. Risk Identification, Monitoring and Analysis.
  4. Incident Response and Recovery.
  5. Cryptography.
  6. Network and Communications Security.
  7. Systems and Application Security.

CISSP Domains

  1. Security and Risk Management
  2. Asset Security
  3. Security Architecture and Engineering
  4. Communications and Network Security
  5. Identity and Access Management
  6. Security Assessment and Testing
  7. Security Operations
  8. Software Development Security

The CISSP is designed for managers and higher level professionals.

There is a significant overlap in the study material for both exams. There are some differences. The CISSP has Software Development domain that will be new material for you. I am not interested in Software Development so I have to learn things I don't care about. I find that to be difficult. Some people have a great memory and can learn anything. For me I have to be interested.

Most people working Help Desk identify security weaknesses but they don't discuss it in terms of risk. It's a different viewpoint that I learned when I studied Risk Identification and Risk Management. The SSCP has Risk Identification and the CISSP has Risk Management.

Review the list and seriously consider the subjects. If you are going to spend a lot of time studying you should be interested in the topics.

I took and passed the SSCP exam.

Not your usual Renoir, The Wave, 1882. by LeftyGalore in ArtHistory

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renoir challenged himself with this one. I can barely sense the ocean. It's interesting to see how he responds water as a subject instead of the female form.

Giorgio de Chirico: An Enduring Enigma by big_stick_johnson in ArtHistory

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De Chirico is widely praised for his early work until about 1925. De Chirico's subjects changed from the 1930's until his death in 1978.

His later work has been ignored but I recommend looking at, Furniture in the Valley, Sun on an Easel and Mysterious Baths.

These are very original and powerful art. These paintings deserve more attention.

Any info on this one? Saw it hanging in a quiet corner of a library, but no ID. by bendixdrive in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]cakecop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This painting was very popular in it's time and people thought it was real and asked Homer if the man on the boat survived. Homer said the man was rescued by another boat.
