Jacques Villon - de Toulouse-Lautrec, but later he became part of the Fauvist movement, Cubism, and abstraction. By 1906, Montmartre was a bustling community and Jacques Villon moved to Puteaux in the quiet outskirts of Paris. There, he began to devote more of his time to working in drypoint -- a technique that created dark, velvety lines that stood out against the white of the paper. However, his isolation from the vibrant art community in Montmartre, together with his modest nature, ensured that he and his artwork remained relatively obscure for a number of years. At his home, in 1911, he and his brothers Raymond and Marcel organized a regular discussion group with artists and critics such as Francis Picabia, Robert Delaunay, Fernand Leger and others that soon was dubbed the Puteaux Group. In.
John Flaxman - endeavoured to understand those counterfeits of classic art by the light of translations from classic literature. Customers of his father took a fancy to the child, and helped him with books, advice, and later with commissions. The two special encouragers of his youth were the painter, George Romney, and a cultivated clergyman, Mr Mathew, in whose house in Rathbone Place the young Flaxman used to meet the best "blue-stocking" society of those days, and, among associates of his own age, the artists William Blake and Thomas Stothard, who became his closest friends. He had already begun to work in clay as well as in pencil. At twelve years of age, he won the first prize of the Society of Arts for a medal, and became a public exhibitor in the gallery.

VNV Nation - VNV Nation VNV Nation is a musical group from London, England which combines elements of electronic body music, synthpop and futurepop. Comprised of Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson, the group released their first album, Advance and Follow, in 1995. This was a mixture of danceable synthesizer melodies and harsh electronic beats firmly in the tradition of middle-era EBM, supplemented with elements of orchestral music. Their next release, 1998's Praise the Fallen, continued largely in this vein, and began to enjoy a larger degree of commercial success. In many respects, 1999's Empires was their breakthrough album, gaining them widespread commercial success (topping the German DAC charts for seven weeks) and almost single-handedly spawning a genre of similar artists. While in the vein of their previous two works, Empires expanded the bombastic synthesizer.
History of East Germany - the East German workers. High production quotas and spiralling work norms remained in effect, and the discontent of the workers resulted in an uprising on June 17, 1953. Strikes and demonstrations erupted spontaneously in major industrial centers. The workers demanded economic reforms and called for de-Stalinization and an end to the Ulbricht regime. The East German People's Police and the Soviet Army suppressed the uprising, in which approximately 500 participants were killed. In 1954 the Soviet Union granted East Germany formal sovereignty, and the Soviet Control Commission in Berlin was disbanded. By this time, reparations payments had been completed, and the SAGs had been restored to East German ownership. The five states formerly constituting the Soviet occupation zone also had been dissolved and replaced by fifteen districts (Bezirke) in 1952; the.
Georgian Bay - at the end of the last Ice Age, about 11,000 years ago. The granite rock formations and windswept Eastern White Pine are characteristic of the islands and much of the shoreline of the bay. The beauty of the area has inspired landscapes by artists of the Group of Seven (an example, of which is the painting by Frederick Varley shown here). Archeological records reveal an Aboriginal presence in the southern regions of the Canadian Shield dating from 9000 BCE. Evidence of later paleo-Aboriginal settlements have been found on Manitoulin Island and near Killarney, Ontario. At the time of contact the Ojibwe and Ottawa First Nations, both of whom call themselves Anishinabe (plural: Anishinabek), lived along the north and eastern shores of Georgian Bay. The Huron (or Wendat) and Iroquois (or Haudenosaunee).

Fish (singer) - career as a gardener and forestry worker, he came to public attention in 1981 with the group Marillion, which he left in 1988. He is sometimes compared to Peter Gabriel. He has a similar voice (not outstanding in terms of technical competence, but interesting, with a sinister edge). Both singers spent six or seven years with a prominent British progressive rock group, wearing full make-up and costume on stage, then left the group to pursue a solo career. In both cases, many fans of the groups consider the period in which the singer was present to represent a golden age in the group's history. One difference is that Gabriel has achieved greater critical and commercial success as a solo performer. Perhaps Fish's greatest talent lies in his lyric writing. His introspective.

Eugeen Van Mieghem - salon in Brussels, where his pastels and drawings hung alongside works by French impressionists such as Monet, Cézanne, Pissarro, Renoir and Vuillard. Van Mieghem married Augustine Pautre in 1902. At the end of November 1904 his young wife fell ill. Van Mieghem depicted her in an impressive series of drawings and pastels that rate alongside similar work by such artists as Rembrandt (the serie of Saskia) and Ferdinand Hodler (Valentine Godé). Grief-stricken at the death of his wife, it was 1910 before Van Mieghem showed his work again. After his first individual exhibition at the Royal Society of Art of Antwerp in 1912 international interest in his work mounted and group exhibitions followed in Cologne and The Hague. In March 1919 he showed his wartime work in Antwerp. This remarkable series.

47 Ronin - 47 Ronin The tale of the Forty-Seven Ronin (or Forty-Seven Samurai, 赤穂浪士 also known as the Ako vendetta) is probably the most prototypical of all Japanese stories; it recounts the most famous case of the samurai code of honor, bushido. It would not be excessive to describe it as the Homer of Japan (although it appeared much later in Japanese history than Homer did in Greece); it certainly captures the essence of the Japanese world-view better than any other single work. Briefly, a group of samurai were left leaderless after their master was forced to commit seppuku for assaulting a court official, after being insulted by him. They avenged him by killing the court official, after patiently waiting and planning for over a year. In turn, they were themselves forced.

The U.S. version also included four instrumental versions of Lennon and McCartney songs by George Martin.

Age of Extremes - expressing the view that "If humanity is to have a recognizable future, it cannot be by prolonging the past or the present." (ibid. p. 585) In one of his few more concrete predictions, he writes that "Social distribution and not growth would dominate the politics of the new millenium." (ibid. p.77 ) The end of Imperialism Surprisingly, for a writer clearly of the left, Hobsbawm has very mixed feelings about the end of the nineteenth-century imperial order, largely because he is no happier with the nation-states that replaced the empires. "[World War I]... had made the habitual and sensible process of international negotiation suspect as 'secret diplomacy'. This was largely a reaction against the secret treaties arranged among the Allies during the war... The Bolsheviks, discovering these sensible documents in the.
Algonquin Park - It contains thousands of species of plants and animals, including as moose, beaver, black bear, lake trout, maple, and spruce, and is an important site for wildlife research. In the 19th century, the logging industry began harvesting trees in the area for shipbuilding. To preserve the land as a wildlife sanctuary, the province of Ontario designated it a Provincial Park in 1893. It quickly became popular with fishermen and hunters, as well as artists such as Tom Thomson and the members of the Group of Seven, who found the landscape inspiring. Thomson served as a guide in the park and died there in 1917. Today Algonquin Park is a popular year-round camping site. There are designated campgrounds along the edges of the park, especially on Highway 60, but it is possible.
