With four Academy Award wins to its name, and roughly one hundred other triumphs, The King’s Speech (2010) by T.

Artists possess this power by skilfully using manipulation of various elements of design and working them into the piece in a way that all the elements fit together in a beautifully abstract puzzle. Frida Kahlo’s ‘Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird’ from 1940 and ‘Janet Laurence’, by John Beard made in

up to the Art Institute of Chicago along with a couple of friends to check out what there was in store there. It was my first time at the Institute, but my friends are regulars, so they showed me the ropes. We made our way through the exhibits until we reached a certain painting that absolutely struck me.
