Brooks is widely known as an “Abstract Expressionist’’. He was born…

Symbol Example from story Importance Act 1: Nature “Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.”- Lady Macbeth (Act 1 scene 5 line 72-73) “The air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself unto our gentle sense.” - King Duncan (Act 1, Scene 6, Line 1-2) “... heaven’s breath smells wooingly here.” - Banquo (Act 1, Scene 6, Line 6-7) All of these lines compare Macbeth to something in nature.

Especially during that time, looking at other pieces of artwork that are from then as well as from similar regions of the world. There are no other paintings depicting instances from the bible that can be considered from an outsider angle, those of artists like William Blake and Dante Alighieri whom took Christianity into its darker side. While this painting in particular, all of the Sistine Chapel is beautiful and itself a complete and utter masterpiece, “Adam’s Creation” always stuck out to me…

Both artist have a wide range of styles in their work, I will focus not on how they…
