Who did the Grainger Movement intend to aid? 

The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali is representative of the art movement that grew out of Dada and was directly influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of the unconscious and the logic of dreams:

In the early 20th century, Henri Matisse emerged as the leader of this art movement known for mostly realistic subject matter but using intense, uncontrolled colors that were often unrealistic: (Critics often referred to the artists as “Wild Beasts.”)

In India around the 6th century BCE, a philosopher named Siddhartha Gautama began preaching a form of social equality and direct and personal access to the spiritual realm, and later became known as:

Document: Approved by the National Assembly of France, August 26, 1789 The representatives of the French people, organized as a National Assembly, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole cause of public calamities and of the corruption of governments, have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, unalienable, and sacred rights of man, in order that this declaration, being constantly before all the members of the Social body, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties; in order that the acts of the legislative power, as well as those of the executive power, may be compared at any moment with the objects and purposes of all political institutions and may thus be more respected, and, lastly, in order that the grievances of the citizens, based hereafter upon simple and incontestable principles, shall tend to the maintenance of the constitution and redound to the happiness of all. Therefore, the National Assembly recognizes and proclaims, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following rights of man and of the citizen: Articles: 1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good. 2. The aim of all political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression. 3. The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. No body nor individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation. 4. Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law. 5. Law can only prohibit such actions as are hurtful to society. Nothing may be prevented which is not forbidden by law, and no one may be forced to do anything not provided for by law. 6. Law is the expression of the general will. Every citizen has a right to participate personally, or through his representative, in its foundation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, are equally eligible to all dignities and to all public positions and occupations, according to their abilities, and without distinction except that of their virtues and talents. 16. A society in which the observance of the law is not assured, nor the separation of powers defined, has no constitution at all. Assignment:      Using the document, in no less than 400-500 words, create an essay that answers the following questions.   – To whom is the Declaration addressed? Is it only about the rights of the French people, or do these rights extend beyond this? What gave a group of deputies elected to advise Louis XVI on constitutional reforms the right to proclaim themselves the National Assembly? What was so revolutionary about this claim to represent the French Nation? Article 6 states that “law is the expression of general will,” is adapted from Rousseau’s Social Contract. Does the Declaration give any indication of how the “general will” can be known?
