Renowned American painter Arshile Gorky (1904-1948) was an innovative artist who added new dimensions to the conventional art scene. His creative career can be divided into various phases and styles. Arshile sequentially adopted 'Impressionism,' 'Post-impressionism,' and 'Cubism,' before eventually venturing into 'Surrealism.'

Military Intervention Has Advantages and Disadvantages
Military interventions around the world have been a source of public debate for over a century. Early statesmen, like George Washington, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe were all advocates of non intervention and sometimes even isolationist policies, favoring diplomacy first. On the other hand, Teddy Roosevelt was an early proponent of acquiring Cuba and Puerto Rico from Spain in the late 1890s and was further credited with inciting the Panamanian Revolt against Colombia so the US could secure construction rights for the Panama Canal in 1904. Despite intermittent public calls for neutrality and government transparency, more instances of military intervention would soon[..]
The Armenian Genocide
Few people know that Turkey enjoys of one of the most prepared military organization across Europe. Their function is to maintain a laic control of the State, following Kemal Ataturk recommendations, and, in second instance, to preserve a valid power to constantly monitor the area around the peninsula. The Turkish Army is courageous and soldiers have a high sense of duty demonstrating a great flexibility in the engagement rule for the NATO operation. Said that, is not untreatable the reason of a continual reject of involvement in the Armenian past massacre. The existing Turkish approach is a historical revisionism together with a strong control over media to avoid any possible accessing[..]
The Nobel Prize for Literature 2006 - Politics as Usual?
In February 2005, at nearly the last minute to submit nominations for the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature, Turkish fiction-writer Orhan Pamuk made a surprise declaration in the Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger. He said, "30,000 Kurds have been murdered [in Turkey] and 1 million Armenians and nobody dares to mention that. So I do it." It was a remark out of the blue...something that Pamuk had never hinted at before -- not in interviews, not in his novels, nor in his autobiographical writings. To a lot of people, it appeared that Pamuk was blatantly lobbying the Nobel Academy -- which has become known in recent years for its politically tainted literary awards. And now that he has actually[..]
Three of Obama's Broken Campaign Promises - How Egregious Are They Really?
Before we delve into the particulars of Obama's broken promises, something must first be said about assessing the relative "badness" of a broken presidential campaign promise in the first place. Clearly all skilled candidates (even those without Obama's incredible rhetoric) need to paint a glossy picture of the future they'll be able to provide us as President. However, not surprisingly, candidates often find it difficult to follow through 100% of the time - even when they want to. Sometimes political expediency and/or the realities of a new day get in the way. Determining the relative "badness" of a broken campaign promise, then, has to do with how blatant, outrageous and unfathomable[..]

Turkey - A Bridge Between Islam and the West
After some time reviewing the Honduran constitutional crisis, I have decided to examine another example of a country where the constitution has generated controversy: Turkey. Although I believe Turkey has proven to be a success in bridging Islam and the West, I want to be clear that Turkey is not a country without its faults. Its refusal to accept responsibility for the Armenian genocide during World War 1 is deplorable. Also, Turkey's suppression and attempted forced assimilation of its Kurdish citizens and their culture is inexcusable. Notwithstanding these two issues, Turkey represents an Islamic country that is a modern secular democracy, fully inclusive of woman's political rights.[..]
