artsy and cultural associations

Same idea as the word association thread but more specific.

I'll start like this:

Nineteenth Century

Emile Zola (Naturalist literary movement)

Paul Cezanne (in many ways portrayed the same notions on canvas that Zola did with the novel)

West India Company lol! I forgot to include something about history in the title, though I guess "cultural" essentially covers it

Nonsense, Fas. First, "high culture" isn't anymore culture than "low culture." I put the dividing line between good and bad at stuff that's wretched and only bought because of huge marketing budgets used to convince people it's good.

Second, the high cultures you're familiar with have a range of fine creative and interpretative talents that we've probably never heard of.

Third, when European civilization was still in the artistically moribund stage, about a thousand years ago, the Islamic empire had orchestras, stringed instruments, complex rhymed poetic art forms, extensive dance forms, and many styles of prose literature. The Crusades embittered relations between the two groups, but it had the effect of jumpstarting the arts in the West.

Oh, yeah--

Coleridge.
