He was later a banker in Paris and pursued painting as a hobby. He soon became depressed with the sordidness of money -changing of money-changing and felt a creative urge. In 1881 he turned to painting as a life work. Rejecting all previous theories, he became the most radical of the Impressionists and retired to Brittany to be close to nature. Dis¬illusioned by the conventions of civilization, he fled, in 1891, to Tahiti to become part of the life of the South Seas, and there produced his most characteristic paintings. He loved the tropical colors, the brown-skinned natives, the luxurious landscape, and the romance of primitivism. His paintings are decorative and non-realistic. Figures are molded in atti¬tudes to fit a preconceived pattern and they have a timeless, dignified calm. He applied pure color in broad flat areas and in flowing curves with only a suggestion of depth. The in¬fluences of Oriental arts are obvious and there are resemblances to medie¬val tapestry and stained glass design.
GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad money drives out good." The law stems from the fact that money has a value both as money and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is deter¬mined by supply and demand and varies from time to time, "Good money" has a higher value as a commodity than as money and will dis¬appear from circulation.
On The Other Hand See New Money Economy:Acquisitive individualism, once the pastime of Bronze Age kings, now became the general watchword of the age: for the first time in world history it is said that "money makes the man." The introduction of a money economy in Greece in the 6th century B. c. was accompanied by social and political upheavals. The supremacy of the landed aristocracy was undermined by the emancipation of the small peasants and craftsmen from the village and their reorientation toward the market in the city.
This type of coinage made it pos¬sible to place the entire economy, and not just international trade, on a money basis.
The effect of the new money economy coinage can be mea¬sured by the transformation of the agora of the Greek city, originally the place for political and religious assembly, into a marketplace. The small landowner could now switch from subsistence farming to specialized agriculture; the craftsman and trader not only profited from the new money economy market for cheap goods, but were emancipated from the limitations on the accumulation of profit inherent in a natural economy of exchange in kind. |
