Sorry Can't Lend Any Money, I'm Pretty Baroque Hello everybody, today I am going to write about the first ever failed group pyramid, AKA the Grand Ludovisi Sarcophagus.     There is a lot to unpack when it comes to this piece, the main thing being the influence of royalty that shows in Roman art and culture, highlighting the values and power of the elite. Created around 250-260 AD, it is known for its elaborate carvings depicting a battle between Roman soldiers and barbarians. If you were to ask how it relates to Baroque art, I'd think you were just being rhetorical. Just look at the lack of space anywhere on this work; everything is jumbled together, all on top of each other, going in every direction.

THE Classic Ladies and Gentlemen, I have now been forced out of my comfort zone and asked to write about a piece of art from a long time ago. But don't worry, not only will my GPA be alright, I plan on taking it to new heights! Because I do everything BIG. Clothes size? LARGE. Shoe size? 13. McDonald's Big Mac Meal? SUPERSIZE IT.

One day, I might go to the museum to look at it, and my kid is going to look up at me and say, "Dad, what is this piece of work that I'm looking at?" And I'm going to say, "Son/Daughter, this

They always been known as melodic yet hardcore, simple meaning being that just because they got a funky beat on the track, don't think that it's sweet.         for more info on this topic, click here             But that's enough yapping let me talk to you about one of their best rap albums and really one of the best rap albums, you know being certified 4x platinum gets you placed in that tier, 1999 Eternal. Just looking at it it just seems to be the group standing in a post-apocalyptic area, and if you knew a little bit about their music you would just shrug your shoulders and say," Yeah, this is so them," and keep it moving. But, in this case it's more layers to
