What helped to fuel the artist’s obsession with realism and minutia? How do these paintings compare to Gothic art, especially sculpture?

The Netherlands saw a flowering of art in the 15th Century, including the introduction of oil paintings with an unprecedented amount of detail and surface realism.
Find a painting by Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, or Hugo van der Goes either from the module or outside. Provide an image for the class and explain the function and message of the painting and the meanings contained within it. Most importantly, in terms of style, how does the artist deal with issues like light, color, and the human body? Does it demonstrate accurate proportion and anatomical structure? Or, like Gothic sculpture, does it show surface realism but not an understanding of the anatomy underneath? What were the artist’s goals when creating these works? What was going on in the Netherlands at that time (context) that helps explain this extraordinary artistic production?

How do exchange theorist such as Blau or Homans differ in terms of their assumptions of the nature of exchange relationships?

Mandatory Questions: it can be argued that the allocation of theorists to such categories as Rational Choice or Exchange Theory, Consensus or Structural Functional Theory, or Symbolic Interaction, Dramaturgical Theory, Existential Theory is arbitrary. Select one theorist identified by your text or in lectures as a rational choice or exchange theorist, one identified as a consensus or functionalist theorist, and one identified as a social definitionist theorist and suggest how they might be similar in their assumptions about social life and how they might be different in such assumptions.
How are they similar? How might each explain the responses of Houstonians to hurricanes, katrina to rita or syria to refugees? (3 part question)
