Modern cinema described both Staley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock as the pioneers of their genres and professions. Social culture on the other hand named Kubrick an undeniable genius, free-spirit and in a biography of Stanley Kubrick, a “talented shit” (Baxter) and Hitchcock “The Master of Suspense” and what I gather to be mainly just a sick, obsessive pervert. That all being said, these men faced the new world that was emerging in film. It was the early 1960’s and the Hollywood Studio System collapsed

The German cinema of the 1920s is generally pigeon-holed as part of the culture of the Weimar Republic (1919-33). And because Weimar culture -- described variously as 'radical', 'lively', and 'decadent' -- is seen, along with the republic's unstable political institutions, as paving the way for the Nazism which followed, it is not surprising that the German silent cinema has been saddled with a dubious reputation.

We come across this issue when we attempt to use western definitions of art as the standard for all of human history, including the history of non-western cultures. In her essay, “The Trouble with (The Term) Art,” 2006, Carolyn Dean presents her case on how our Eurocentric definitions of art can have a negative impact on our observations of non-Western art.

Upon visiting the Newport Art Museum in Newport, Rhode Island, there was a variety of different artworks.
