Answer to Question 1

Painting, like poetry, can bring an imaginary world to life. Rousseau's indifference to art traditions resulted in paintings like The Dream, which depicted a lush, complex design that does not exist in real life. Kusama's Love is Calling employed mirrors and inflatable tentacle-like forms covered in polka dots to create a hallucinatory environment in which viewers can lose themselves in wonder.

Answer to Question 2

American landscape painting was popular in the 19th century and covered the depiction of natural scenery in stylistic grandeur. Figures were represented but were a secondary subject emphasis.
