Karl Marx, the son of Hirschel and Henrietta Marx, was born in Trier, Germany, in 1818. Hirschel Marx was a lawyer and to escape anti-Semitism decided to abandon his Jewish faith when Karl was a child. Although the majority of people living in Trier were Catholics, Marx decided to become a Protestant. He also changed his name from Hirschel to Heinrich. .
After schooling in Trier (1830-35), Marx entered Bonn University to study law. At university he spent much of his time socialising and running up large debts. His father was horrified when he discovered that Karl had been wounded in a duel. Heinrich Marx agreed to pay off his son's debts but insisted that he moved to the more sedate Berlin University. .
The move to Berlin resulted in a change in Marx and for the next few years he worked hard at his studies. Marx came under the influence of one of his lecturers, Bruno Bauer, whose atheism and radical political opinions got him into trouble with the authorities. Bauer introduced Marx to the writings of G. W. F. Hegel, who had been the professor of philosophy at Berlin until his death in 1831. .
Marx was especially impressed by Hegel's theory that a thing or thought could not be separated from its opposite. For example, the slave could not exist without the master, and vice versa. Hegel argued that unity would eventually be achieved by the equalising of all opposites, by means of the dialectic (logical progression) of thesis, antithesis and synthesis. This was Hegel's theory of the evolving process of history. .
Heinrich Marx died in 1838. Marx now had to earn his own living and he decided to become a university lecturer. After completing his doctoral thesis at the University of Jena, Marx hoped that his mentor, Bruno Bauer, would help find him a teaching post. However, in 1842 Bauer was dismissed as a result of his outspoken atheism and was unable to help. .
Marx now tried journalism but his radical political views meant that most editors were unwilling to publish his articles. He moved to Cologne where the city's liberal opposition movement was fairly strong. Known as the Cologne Circle, this liberal group had its own newspaper, The Rhenish Gazette. The newspaper published an article by Marx where he defended the freedom of the press. The group was impressed by the article and in October, 1842, Marx was appointed editor of the newspaper. .
In Cologne Karl Marx met Moses Hess, a radical who called himself a socialist. Marx began attending socialist meetings organised by Hess. Members of the group told Marx of the sufferings being endured by the German working-class and explained how they believed that only socialism could bring this to an end. Based on what he heard at these meetings, Marx decided to write an article on the poverty of the Mosel wine-farmers. The article was also critical of the government and soon after it was published in The Rhenish Gazette in January 1843, the newspaper was banned by the Prussian authorities. .
Warned that he might be arrested Marx quickly married his girlfriend, Jenny von Westphalen, and moved to Paris where he was offered the post of editor of a new political journal, Franco-German Annals. Among the contributors to the journal was his old mentor, Bruno Bauer, the Russian anarchist, Michael Bakunin and the radical son of a wealthy German industrialist, Friedrich Engels. .
In Paris Marx began mixing with members of the working class for the first time. Marx was shocked by their poverty but impressed by their sense of comradeship. In an article that he wrote for the Franco-German Annals, Marx applied Hengel's dialectic theory to what he had observed in Paris. Marx, who now described himself as a communist, argued that the working class (the proletariat), would eventually be the emancipators of society. When published in February 1844, the journal was immediately banned in Germany. Marx also upset the owner of the journal, Arnold Ruge, who objected to his editor's attack on capitalism. .
Marx had now become a close friend of Friedrich Engels, who had just finished writing a book about the lives of the industrial workers in England. Engels shared Marx's views on capitalism and after their first meeting Engels wrote that there was virtually "complete agreement in all theoretical fields". Marx and Engels decided to work together. It was a good partnership, whereas Marx was at his best when dealing with difficult abstract concepts, Engels had the ability to write for a mass audience. .
While working on their first article together, The Holy Family, the Prussian authorities put pressure on the French government to expel Marx from the country. On 25th January 1845, Marx received an order deporting him from France. Marx and Engels decided to move to Belgium, a country that permitted greater freedom of expression than any other European state. Marx went to live in Brussels, where there was a sizable community of political exiles, including the man who converted him to socialism, Moses Hess. .
Friedrich Engels helped to financially support Marx and his family. Engels gave Marx the royalties of his recently published book, Condition of the Working Class in England and arranged for other sympathizers to .

Burbank, Illinois. The seven liberal arts (from left to right) Arithmetic, Dialectic, Geometry, Grammar, Music, Rhetoric, Astronomy.
"The Fontana Maggiore, a masterpiece of medieval sculpture, placed in the centre of Piazza IV Novembre (formerly Piazza Grande), is the monument symbol of the city of Perugia.
The fountain was prepared in a workshop and then assembled in the centre of the square; it was made of stone from Assisi. The fountain consists of two concentric polygonal marble basins, on top a bronze cup (by the artisan Rosso Padellaio from Perugia) decorated with a coloured bronze group of feminine figures (perhaps nymphs) out of which comes the water.
The lower basin is made up of 25 mirrors, each divided into 2 tiles that describe the 12 months of the year, each of which is related to a zodiac symbol. Each month is connected to scenes of daily life and the characteristic farming work. As in other contemporary sculptures from Europe, in which the months are represented, here the manual work obtains dignity.[5] In this basin manual labour is in fact represented together with the arti liberali (liberal arts), with philosophy, with characters from the Bible and the history of Rome; in this specific order:
• The month of January (a gentleman and his wife at the hearth – Aquarius)
• The month of February (two fishermen - Pisces)
• The month of March (the "spinario" and the pruning of the vineyard - Aries)
• The month of April (two allegories of spring - Taurus)
• The month of May (two Knights on Falconry - Gemini)
• The month of June (the harvest and flailing - Cancer)
• The month of July (the threshing and the division of wheat - Lion)
• The month of August (the fig harvest - Virgo)
• The month of September (the crushing of must - Libra and the grape harvest)
• The month of October (the filling up of casks - Scorpion and the construction of casks)
• The month of November (the ploughing - Sagittarius and the sowing)
• The month of December (the slaughter of the pork - Capricorn)
• The Lion Guelph and the Griffin of Perugia
• Grammar and Dialectic
• Rhetoric and Arithmetic
• Geometry and Music
• Astronomy and Philosophy
Two eagles, on the right one the signature of Giovanni Pisano
• The Original Sin and the expulsion from Eden
• Samson kills the Lion and Samson and Dalila
• David triumphant and Goliath defeated
• Romulus and Remus (represented as two falconers)
• The she-wolf that fed Romulus, Remus and their mother Rea Silvia
• Two of Aesop's fables (the fox and the crane and the wolf and the lamb)"

But communists could not be wrong. Aller aiL their knowledge was scientific. based on historical materialism, an understanding of the dialectical process in nature and human society, and a materialist (and thus realistic) view of nature. Marx has shown empirically where society has been and why, and he and his interpreters proved that it was destined for a communist end . No one could prevent this, but only stand in tile way and delay it at the cost of more human misery. .
Those who disagreed with this world view and even with some or ihc proper interpretations of Marx and Lenin were, without a scintilla of doubt, wrong. /\fler all, did not Marx or Lenin or Stalin or Mao say that. ... In other words. communism was like a fanaticfll re ligion. It had its revealed text and chief interpreters. It had its priests and their ritualistic prose with all the answers. It had a heaven, and the proper behavior to reach it. It had its appeal to faith. And it had its crusade ::~ga inst nonbelievers. .

Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky: Double Fiction
Date: 2008
Medium Single channel video, sound
Dimensions: 1 hour 57 minutes, 46 seconds
Edition 2/3 collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. MFAH.
An excerpt from the "Double Fiction"(2008) by Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky based at "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock: vimeo.com/user16505543
…“Two revelatory pieces taken from the classical narrative cinema, Spellbound (2009) and Birds (2008), rework canonical Alfred Hitchcock films employing the same technique used in Pink and White. In this case, the moving image is not found footage but a finely crafted example of the classical cinema, created by a director employing elaborately staged action, cinematography, a script, acting, lighting, composition, and sound. In the case of Spellbound, a three-minute loop superimposes a sequence from the film played forward with the same scenes played in reverse. The two sequences come together in the middle and then continue on to either the conclusion or beginning of the sequence. Narrative anticipation and the intense drama of the action reaches its climax as a single scene. Time folds upon itself as we watch, but also as we recall what we already know. This method is elaborated further in The Birds, in which the entire Hitchcock film is shown with sound, from beginning to end and over again in reverse, from the end to the beginning. (The credits have been removed.) At the mid-point, the film becomes one as the superimposed films line up and become a single film. A work of astonishing simplicity and originality, it takes the meta-cinematic work of such artists as Douglas Gordon and Stan Douglas and the treatment of language in Gary Hill’s videotapes into the complex terrain of narrative, storytelling, and perception. The anticipation and remembrance of time and events through the conventions of storytelling, as we see in the Birds, also becomes a means to provide new insight into that film’s apocryphal vision of nature and human relationships. Early scenes are joined with later scenes, and it is almost as if the film itself is dreaming its own narrative as it unfolds. Birds is a brilliant choice, since it heightens the dramatic intensity of the narrative cinema and the nuance of the performances in a deconstruction of the meanings of the original film. It also places the viewer before the screen as an active participant. In a sense, the film haunts itself, as the action that unfolds anticipates its own conclusion, and the relationships between the characters become tragically predicted and realized. The destruction that is foreshadowed actually appears in the film at its beginning.
Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky have created a dialectical process by integrating the point of view of the camera and the play of time. The viewer becomes engaged in active looking and creates meaning out of moving images through that cognitive process. These artists have created an aesthetic text that is haunted by memory, whether represented by found footage, by the chance recordings of plastic bags blowing along on the sidewalk or the movement of people on the street, or by the rediscovery of scenes from well-known movies. Time erases itself as scenes overlap and change, in the process refashioning the moving image into an aesthetic text of timeless fascination.”
