The Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a piece full of rich colors that reflect both the time period and the artist’s impressionist style. This composition not only conveys a leisurely gathering of people, but also expresses the changing French social structure of the time due to the industrial revolution.

Such is the technique of pointillism, created by nineteenth century artist Georges Seurat, where points of pure color are grouped together to give off the appearance of a solid figure. My absolute favorite of his works is the popular "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", a large mural depicting a social gathering in a park setting.

propuestas del rol que los sueños pueden tomar en una obra literaria. En el caso de Borges, de una manera sutil y que podría pasar desapercibida, centra su historia en cómo la interpretación de los sueños pueden ser la clave para descubrir el más grande secreto que un ser humano pueda imaginar, a la vez que nos muestra como la escritura (representada por los sueños) es capaz de llevarnos a este proceso de descubrimiento tan personal e intrínsico.

Each year more than 35,000 people go to Kingsville, Texas to visit the ranch.(Hollandsworth) Richard King in his earlier years was a steamboat captain traveling the Rio Grande. A couple of years later he bought 15,500 acres in 1853 and started a small cow camp.
