Fundamental Questions Albert Einstein Theory Gravitation Ben Shahn 1954

Gravitation is not a force between two objects but is the result of each object responding to the effect that the other has on the space-time surrounding it. A uniform gravitational field and a uniform acceleration have exactly the same effect on space-time.

Ben Shahn, Although Ben Shahn is strongly identified as an artist committed to social and political causes, his work never reads as mere propaganda, but resounds with deeply felt humanitarian concerns for the individual in society, and the plight of the oppressed. Born in Kovno, Lithuania, Shahn's family emigrated to Brooklyn in 1906. At an early age, he apprenticed with a lithographer and later studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. His vigorous artwork was influenced by the European avant-garde, American naive painting, and the Mexican muralists. Shahn designed his own murals during the Depression working for government relief agencies, for which he also photographically documented rural poverty. Such experiences filtered into Shahn's art. Not all of Shahn's artwork was overtly political.
