Le Bon claimed that "an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd soon finds himself – either in consequence of magnetic influence given out by the crowd or from some other cause of which we are ignorant – in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer."

Crwth
The crwth (, also called a crowd or rote or crotta) is a bowed lyre, a type of stringed instrument, associated particularly with Welsh music, now archaic but once widely played in Europe. Four historical examples have survived and are to be found in St Fagans National Museum of History (Cardiff); National Library of Wales (Aberystwyth); Warrington Museum & Art Gallery; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (US). Origin of the name The name ' is Welsh, derived from a Proto-Celtic noun ''*-'' ("round object") which refers to a swelling or bulging out, a pregnant appearance or a protuberance, and it is speculated that it came to be used for the instrument because of its bulging shape. Other Celtic words for violin also have meanings referring to rounded appearances. In Gaelic, for example, "" can mean "hump" or "hunch" as well as harp or violin. Like several other English loanwords from Welsh, the name is one of the few words in the English language in which the letter W is used as a ...

The Crowd (Lewis)
''The Crowd'' is a 1914–1915 abstract painting by the English artist Wyndham Lewis. It is an example of Vorticism, a modern art movement Lewis created. It was first exhibited in March 1915 with The London Group. At one point, it was known as ''Revolution'', due to a misunderstanding that it was inspired by the 1917 October Revolution in Russia. Since 1964, it is in the collection of Tate in London. Background Wyndham Lewis painted ''The Crowd'' in 1914 or 1915, when he was involved in the British modern art movement Vorticism, of which he was the founder and leading figure. The crowd motif was inspired by the outbreak of World War I, which made him think about power and crowd manipulation. This was the subject of an article he wrote for the second issue of the Vorticist magazine ''Blast'', published in July 1915, titled "The Crowd Master, 1914, London, July". He wrote that "THE CROWD is the first mobilisation of a country". Description ''The Crowd'' presents an abstract city ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
