Subject: Essays
Importance: High
Essay 1.
Coming from an international background, and having lived in Oslo, Tel Aviv, New York and London by the age of eighteen, I
believe that the international profile of NYU will provide the best environment for my college education, with the added benefit of
returning to the place where I've spent most of my childhood and where my mother will be posted as Norwegian Ambassador to the
UN in January 2019.
NYU's Art History department appeals to me because of its wide range of courses, from the global art of antiquity to the
contemporary. My passion is the Italian Renaissance and the rich history behind it, especially the works of 15th century masters such
as Masaccio and Bellini. Some of the courses that NYU offers such as "Early masters of Italian Renaissance painting" and "Florentine
Villas: An Interpretation Based on Historical, Social Factors" are, therefore appealing to me. What I find exciting, is not only the
visual aesthetics and analysis of these masterpieces, but also the manner in which the Renaissance emphasised scientific and
economic innovation, areas of study the Global Liberal Arts programme would offer. NYU's unique campus in Florence would give
me a once in lifetime opportunity to spend a year immersing myself in the art, culture and history of Italy. This would be an exciting
experience to have while studying for a Bachelor's degree in Art History, and would compliment my main interests in the subject.
As one of the prime cultural centres in the world, NYU's location in NYC is the perfect place to broaden knowledge within
contemporary art. I am very much looking forward to visiting the Whitney Biennia this May. In addition the New museum, which
shows a lot of the kind of work I find interesting is a short walk away from campus.
Taking advantage of being based in central London for the past year, I have completed the Chairman's Programme at Christies, work
experience at the Courtauld Gallery and I will be working at Maddox Gallery in the near future. Similarly, I want to take advantage of
being based in NYC to gain as much experience as possible. I have chosen to apply Early Decision to NYU as it is the only American
university I will be applying to, as there is no better place to obtain experience of the contemporary art world than New York City.
Essay 2.
From the age of extremes to the age of bewilderment
What captivates me more than anything else is the different ideological phases of the 20th century and how art can be used as a
tool of advancement and reflection on ideological and political developments.
My fascination began when I read; Eric Hobsbawm's "Age Of Extremes" and has since developed through books such as
Benjamin Carter Heft's "The Death Of Democracy" and Yuval Harari "A Brief History Of Tomorrow" and "21 Lessons For
The 21st Century".
In the years after the First World War, until the end of the Second World War, three political models for shaping the future of
nation states emerged; Fascism, Communism and liberal democracy. These all offered great ideas for the future of the world.
Fascism and Communism shared some common features: authoritarian, strong leaders and a belief that their revolutions had to
be carried through with violence. This led to the mass murders in the Nazi concentration camps and in the Soviet Gulags.
In the mid war periods, the "Litfass columns" that were originally designed to carry advertising, became the outdoor galleries
for the war of ideologies. The political poster was born. High quality posters from every political party in Germany popped up
on the columns. Hitler's propaganda chief G8ebels stated that the Nazi election campaign should be run through speeches and
posters. The other parties responded in kind. An art form thus became an essential political tool in the battle for votes. The
propagandist Art used by the Nazis and communists alike was essential in helping sell their message to the masses.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 033414
Indeed, much of the art that was critical of these movements was suppressed or censored and "subversive" artists cowed, in
some cases imprisoned or even worse.
The liberal democratic model departed sharply from these authoritarian perspectives by presenting the alternative of free and
transparent elections, the rule of law and freedom of speech. In the mid-war period the three narratives were competing to be the
conceptual frame for society. After the Second World War fascism was crushed leaving the two competing ideologies of
communism and liberal democracy. After the demise of communism in 1989, through to the late 1990's, liberal democracy was
victorious in the idealogical battlefield. Some historians, like Francis Fukuyama, went so far as to proclaim this period as "the
end of history".
A key piece of art that championed this kind of ideology was Sheppard Fairey's campaign poster for Barack Obama. In this
poster, Fairey, a well established graffiti artist uses urban colours and stencilling techniques combined with the message
"HOPE" to promote the incoming presidents positive values and popularity with the young. It is notable that Fairey's most
recent political poster protests the Trump presidency rather than promote it.
With the rise of so called "illiberal democracy", with strong parties standing for populist ideologies, we have now moved into
what can be described as the age of bewilderment. We were not in fact at the "end of history". Once again the future looks
unpredictable and insecure and artists are responding in different ways.
Jeremy Deller, a British Turner prize winning artist created a work which features a car damaged in the bombing of the historic
Mutanabbi Street book market, which resulted in the deaths of 38 people. Here, an art work has been used to show the aftermath
of an event. This event was the result of the Iraq war, which was seen as a way to spread democracy. Here Art is used as a
means by which to explore the effects of ideology rather than promote it, another really interesting area in the study of the
intersections between ideology and art.
Exploring how art reflects the historical and ideological contexts of the world around it is fascinating to me and I would love to
study these ideas in more depth at undergraduate level.

They try to keep this story going from every angle. Now dershowitz isn't involved; rather he is a high powered
lawyer. I didn't know you also had lefkowitz. I met the guy once when a prospective client asked me to try a
case with him. One meeting was enough for me to see clearly that that would not have worked out well; but he
apparemtly is a successful lawyer.
One thing for sure the article gets wrong - that the "victims" were silenced.
Hope you are doing well.

Slowing economy could increase pressure on
Big Tech
Sara Fischer, David McCabe, Courtenay Brown5 hours ago
A potential recession, combined with increasing regulatory threats for some of the biggest
tech companies, foreshadows a difficult 2019 for Silicon Valley.
Why it matters: The biggest tech companies have already raked in billions of dollars in
profits and benefited from major tax cuts that aren't going to be repeated, so next year isn't
likely to be better for them financially. They've also been dogged by scandals that have left
many questioning their positive role in society, and if on top of that the economy starts to
slip, 2019 could be worse.
"People look for scapegoats in a bad economy. And with big tech already on its heels, a
downturn probably would feed arguments that the largest internet companies are too big
and need to be reined in."
— Paul Gallant, an analyst with Cowen Washington Research Group
Big Tech is closing out a contentious year in Washington, and potential regulation will
continue to haunt it well into 2019.
• Google CEO Sundar Pichai has agreed to testify before Congress, and will likely be
asked about whether the company is being transparent about its data privacy practices and
any potential bias. By the year's end, the CEOs of Twitter, Google and Facebook will have
been called to testified in front of Congress for the first time ever during 2018.
• Lawmakers in the United States are pushing for a federal privacy law with an urgency
likely to be exacerbated by more breaches like the one Marriott disclosed last Friday.
• The Federal Trade Commission still has an open investigation into whether
Facebook's conduct violated a previous settlement with the agency. Margrethe Vestager,

Europe's aggressive commissioner overseeing competition, is still investigating aspects of
Google's business and whether Amazon plays fair in the market for generic products.
• President Trump has said his administration is seriously looking into monopolistic
behavior of Facebook, Google and Amazon.
Some analysts predict an economic slowdown___even if it doesn't lead to a recession like
the one in 2008___will be enough to change the global attitude around big American
companies.
"So the really shocking thing this year is that the only major economy in the world where
growth has actually accelerated this year is America. And this is because of the tax cuts, the
deregulation, the other stimulus which has been put into work. And that has also helped the
earnings of companies. My point is, from next year onwards, those effects begin to fade."
— Ruchir Sharma, chief global strategist at Morgan Stanley on Fareed Zakaria GPS
on Sunday
The "FAANG" stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google) that pushed the
stock market to record highs have not been immune from this year's market rout.
• "The mood has changed. Investors are asking a lot more questions right now," says
Larry Glazer, a Managing Partner at Mayflower Advisors, which manages $3 billion.
"Momentum has faded on these names."
• Adding to potential concern: possible regulatory action could translate into higher
costs, particularly for Google or Facebook.
• "Facebook has been under such a dark cloud for so long that now everybody is
expecting the worst," Paul Meeks, a technology portfolio manager at Wireless Fund, told
Amos.
The other side: "I don't see a looming recession. And even if there was, people aren't going
to target these companies if there is a recession," says Nicholas Economides, Professor of
Economics at NYU Stem School of Business.
• Economides argues that, even if there was a mild reduction in GDP growth, it
wouldn't significantly impact the high tech sector.
• For companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter, "their main revenue streams are
from ads. They gain market share from brands converting traditional ad spend to digital ads.
This conversion is not so dependent on the growth of GDP, because they are still in the
process of converting ads of different formats to digital ads, and that's something that will
continue, regardless of GDP growth."
The bottom line: Tech companies that have long been the darlings of investor portfolios
will likely find themselves in much weaker positions.
