Statement of what a scholarly or complex written work contains, presented as a summary usually by someone other than the author of the work. An abstract aims to present only the gist of the subject matter, stresses brevity, and makes no attempt to preserve the flavor or style of the original. See also abridgment, digest, outline, précis, summary, and synopsis.
Abstracts, like all summaries, cover the main points of a piece of writing. Unlike executive summaries written for non-specialist audiences, abstracts use the same level of technical language and expertise found in the article itself. And unlike general summaries which can be adapted in many ways to meet various readers' and writers' needs, abstracts are typically 150 to 250 words and follow set patterns.
Because readers use abstracts for set purposes, these purposes further define abstracts.
300 is a 2007 American fantasy action film based on the 1998 comic series of the same name by Frank Miller. It is a fictionalized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. The film was directed by Zack Snyder, while Miller served as executive producer and consultant. It was filmed mostly with a super-imposition chroma key technique, to help replicate the imagery of the original comic book.
The plot revolves around King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), who leads 300 Spartans into battle against Persian "god-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his army of more than one million soldiers. As the battle rages, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support in Sparta for her husband. The story is framed by a voice-over narrative by the Spartan soldier Dilios (David Wenham). Through this narrative technique, various fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy.
Jaap Eduard Helder was born in 1950 in Velsen, the Netherlands. Holland in the 1950s was busy rebuilding after the five year German occupation during World War II. Helder's father worked in Holland's largest steel mill. This industrial town with its freight trains and busy harbors was the landscape of Helder's youth. The industrial shapes and colors became an integral part of the imagery for his paintings.

Helder went to the classical school to study Latin, Greek, German, French, and English. His interests, however, were primarily in the arts and music. As a 13-year-old he first saw the Cubist paintings of Braque and Picasso and began to understand the possibilities of modern painting.

The Netherlands, as a country rich in cultural heritage, was a great place to grow up for someone interested in art. In school there were Escher and Mondrian prints on the walls, and in the news was Karel Appel with his wild and colorful abstract paintings. Helder also started listening to American jazz, and so began his attraction to the United States.

Helder started drawing and painting classes accompanied by his father, an enthusiastic portrait and landscape painter. During this time, Helder was included in a few group shows. After completing his education, he spent a year on the Southwest Coast of Ireland, painting and taking photos.

From Ireland, he traveled to Israel, where he also lived for about a year. The history of Israel and its landscape proved to be very inspiring for Helder. He then traveled to Cyprus, Greece, and Italy before settling in the United States and moving to Maine.

Helder started traveling to the Caribbean regularly, where the intensity of the colors and the African cultural influences initiated his interest in global indigenous art. This led to a series of neo-primitive paintings on sea-worn boards, and later into large paintings of primitive-inspired heads on canvas. Exhibitions of these paintings were held in Portland, Maine.

During the same period, Helder became acquainted with several artists who influenced and encouraged his work, including John Hultberg, an artist who had worked in Paris, New York, and on the West Coast. Hultberg's experience and travails in the art world inspired and informed Helder's progress during this time.

In the late 1980s, Helder continued to paint, exhibit, and sell paintings. In 1993 he was included in a group show called "The Painter's Theater", organized by George Lloyd. The show included such artists as Robert Colescott, Richard Merkin, Trevor Winkfield, and John Hultberg.

In 1998 Helder moved to Eastern Maine, where he continues to paint. The unspoiled, raw beauty of the Down East landscape, where the blueberry barrens meet the rugged coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, is a strong source of inspiration for his most recent work.

Helder's paintings are in numerous private and corporate collections.
