He became famous in the 1930s and '40s, at the beginning with Blue Star Orchestra and then with Orchestra Cetra. He composed songs and film soundtracks. His treatise, "<mask>'s method" was printed in 1952. His basics and exercises "are so clear that's it's enough to read this little book to overcome any doubts or hesitation!” Franco Franchi said, "<mask> was among the first to be interested in jazz music and swing and he became for many years, together with his friend and rival Cinico Angelini, a great example for his fellows, both for his extraordinary compositions and his skills to find out new talents and songs, and for his attempt to give a modern mark to Italian music". Biography

<mask> was born in Genova, 15 May 1902, to Luigi and Fortunata Battaglieri.He was a child prodigy. At age six he entered the Camillo Sivori Institute to study violin and quickly passed the exam and took his first award. <mask> could hardly read words but he was already able to write a Mozart symphony "with nor a pale errors". After attending primary and secondary schools he went to Cristoforo Colombo High School, where he studied violin at the Conservatory with professor Biasoli. He listened to his father's phonographic cylinders, creating a passion for classical and symphonic music. Followed by his uncle, he often went to the Carlo Felice Theatre, where he saw, 'from a very comfortable stage position', many representations of famous lyric operas. He became skilled in mathematics and decided to follow mathematical studies, graduating as an engineer.Strongly supported by Biasoli, he also studied Harmony, Counterpoint, Composition, and Instruments.

 emphasized the piano until about 1933, followed by the violin, banjo and the trumpet section. In the same period he played at Politeama in Genova as lead violinist. In his spare time he performed music at silent movie showings at the cinema near his home. At 17 he stopped violin studies. After listening to Yehudi Menuhin, he was demoralized and decided to pursue conducting and composition. From 17 to 21, he performed on ships and for orchestras in Genova.His first engagement was on a luxury steamer (an early cruise ship) called Esperia, but because of his youth, the captain took him on board as a passenger. In New York he first heard jazz and swing music. <mask> copied many records, sections, and he improved his skills as an arranger. In 1922 he was discovered by Armando di Piramo and joined his orchestra at Olimpia and de Ferrari in Genova. In 1923, serving in the Italian Army in Rimini, he founded a military orchestra. On 12 April 1924, he finished his service and came to Milan to play at Cova, for Di Piramo's orchestra. A few months later Philip's brothers came to Cova, with their band, the Riviera Five.<mask> taught Sid the basics as arranger, and he gave saxophone lessons, including the pizzicato technique. In Milan he performed his first recording at Pathè, near Sempione. In 1925 he started his career as an author, first for Armando, then with Carisch and finally with Curci, where he started a long relationship. He also began working as an arranger, and in 1925 after a short period at Carminati, his first line up was for Blue Star. Blue Star

The Orchestra had two fixed members, Gianni Miglio and Luigi Balma, and included many others. <mask> played nine instruments and selected the members of his orchestra with a simple rule: each member must play at least three instruments, read music and play a wide list of songs from memory. The band soon

 held seven musicians, who played 36 instruments including the mellophone.“Pics of this time show a group of seven performers and all around a huge scenery of instruments, in one of these you can count at least 26: almost four each! It must have been an astonishing show to see them!”. Blue Star's debut show was 25 July, at Sempioncino; then at Cova with great success and at Olimpia; it became known as one of the greatest Italian orchestras. Thanks to Eugenio Pugliatti, Blue Star performed in France and Switzerland. They played at Casino de Cannes, at Saint Raphael, at Ciro in Paris, at Palace Hotel in Saint Moritz. Accompanied by Pugliatti, they played in Costantinople part of a financially successful tour. He purchased a flat for his parents in Pegli and a Fiat 507 Torpedo.He played in Genova at Grand'Italia. In the following years he performed in Cannes, Saint Raphael and again in Paris and Milan (at Olimpia, Cova, Birra Italia). The Blue Star Orchestra broke up in 1933. Recordings

Cetra Orchestra, under Claude Bampton's direction, a good English musician and conductor, debuted with 16 musicians, growing to 28, producing "strong form and special characteristic, so to be soon considered the best among big Italian orchestras talking jazz language". The Fascist Regime required only that he translate titles into Italian; so "In the moon" became "Con stile"; "Whoodchoppers" became "Al ballo del taglialegna". <mask>

In 1947 he started to compose film soundtracks.He worked in Roma (movies) and Torino (RAI). He also wrote his Barzizza, a notebook for modern classical, jazz and pop: “for me there's no pop music or serious music, for me there's only good music!”

In 1948 he composed the soundtrack for Fifa e Arena with Totò and Isa. His "Paquito Lindo" set a sales record for 78 rpm sides. "Ay Nicolete" was another hit. He made many tracks with Totò, including "The Turk from Naples", "Six wives of Bluebeard", "Misery and Nobility", "Totò to Hell". With Macario, Walter Chiari, Marcello Marchesi and other actors. In 1949 he won the Silver Microphone Award as best Italian Orchestra."The enormous discography of Cetra Orchestra with <mask> between 1936 and the late 1948 has not rebuilt yet, because of difficulties with such a huge opera.

Replications of her sculptures were then made at the Polonne ceramic factory and the Korosten porcelain factory. She was a gifted painter and, during this period, decorated porcelain dishes, plates, and platters. Some of her most renowned pieces from this period are figurines of famous opera singers  and , circus performer Oleg Popov, mime Marcel Marceau, and actor Charlie Chaplin. She worked at the factory for eleven years, and left in 1967 because working in the factory, she had no rights to her own work.When she left KEKHZ in 1967, Rapay-Markish held her first solo exhibition of her porcelain works. She continued to work with ceramics, but on individual pieces which were not replicated. Her favorite themes were clowns and harlequin figurines. She also became involved in architectural projects, designing and decorating both interiors and façades with massive ceramic works. These large projects are her most well-known works and, because of their visibility in the center of Kiev, she is one of the most recognizable Ukrainian ceramicists. She completed more than ten of these large-scale projects in Kiev. One, which is still standing, is at the National

<mask> (1950 – 2 July 2020) was an English artist, writer and playwright, who was best known for his satirical political collages. He was a member of the Stuckist international art movement. In 2008, <mask> was arrested and prosecuted in Istanbul for a collage featuring the then Turkish prime minister Erdoğan, but was later acquitted. Life and work
<mask> was born in Durham, England, and spent most of his early years in Kuwait, where his father was an employee of the Kuwait Oil Company and where he attended the Anglo-American School. He later attended Fyling Hall school in Yorkshire. He lived and worked as an English teacher in Istanbul. He was the founder of the Istanbul branch of the Stuckist art movement, and also a writer, playwright and actor.Collage banned by Tripod
In May 2005, <mask>'s web site, "The Carnival of Chaos", was blanked and he was informed by the host Tripod (a member of the Lycos group), "You are no longer an authorized member of Tripod. You have been removed because your web site violated our Terms of Service." This occurred after he had posted a collage, Tyrant's Pants, showing President Bush in his underpants with a cruise missile coming out of his rear and a swastika on his right buttock. The collage was a response to a photo which had appeared with the headline "Tyrant's in his pants" on the front page of the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, showing captive Saddam Hussein in underpants. Turkish court case
In June 2006, the Istanbul police removed one of <mask>'s collages from a show in the city organised by the Global Peace and Justice Coalition. <mask> stated that he hung his work in the show unknown to the organisers. The collage showed the Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan as a dog being presented with a rosette by President Bush in a pet show.He was informed by Turkish authorities that he would be prosecuted for "insulting the Prime Minister's dignity"; the charge carries a sentence of one to three years. The Times said: "The case could greatly embarrass Turkey and Britain, for it raises questions about Turkey’s human rights record as it seeks EU membership,

 with Tony Blair’s backing." Charles Thomson, co-founder of the Stuckist movement, wrote to British Prime Minister Tony Blair asking for his intervention: "It is intolerable that a country applying for EU membership should censor freedom of political comment in this way. I trust you will communicate your strongest condemnation and ask for this case to be abandoned immediately. I ask for your assurance that you will oppose Turkish EU membership in the strongest terms, until Turkey adopts the attitudes of the civilised world towards human rights." <mask> said:
"It’s such an Alice in Wonderland feeling. The law is so absurd ...This law exists in Turkey about insulting 'Turkishness' or the State. You’re not allowed to state your opinion." In September 2006, <mask> attended the trial of Erkan Kara, organiser of the Global Peace and Justice Coalition show, charged with insulting behaviour for exhibiting <mask>'s work. The prosecutor described <mask> as "ill-intentioned", but declined to bring a case because of "lack of evidence". Hasan Gungor of the Istanbul-based group,  Initiative for Freedom of Speech, attributed this to fear of international news, when the European Union has concerns over freedom of speech in Turkey. Members of Global Peace and Justic Coalition remonstrated with <mask> for distracting attention from their anti-Iraq War cause, and he then held up another collage showing Erdoğan as a dog with a lead of the stars and stripes; he was arrested and charged with insulting the Turkish prime minister's dignity with a trial date scheduled for October 2007. He was then held for ten days, three in prison and seven in the Detention Centre for Foreigners.During his transfer between facilities, he attempted to escape, but was shot at by a policeman, who recaptured him. In July 2007, <mask>'s collages were displayed at the A Gallery, London, in the Stuckist show I Won't Have Sex with You as long as We're Married. On 25 September 2008, he was acquitted of any crime, the judge ruling that although there were "some insulting elements" in his collage, it fell "within the limits of criticism".

 The case has favourable implications for Turkey's relationship with the European Union, which had called for an improvement of its human rights record. <mask> said, "I am lucky to be acquitted. There are still artists in Turkey facing prosecution and being sentenced for their opinions." In June 2009, <mask> fled Turkey for his native country, Britain, after learning that his acquittal had been overturned.Unable to find work, he returned to Istanbul soon after. In January 2010, a Turkish court convicted <mask> of mocking the Turkish prime minister and levied a fine. Refusing to pay the fine as a matter of principle, <mask> faced up to two years in prison. <mask>'s application for a residence permit was refused due to his 2010 conviction, but he remained in the country after the expiry of his tourist visa. He was arrested in October 2013 for shouting Gezi Park-related slogans at police, and detained after his expired visa was discovered. He was deported after some days (and banned from returning for five years), choosing to go to Barcelona rather than his native Britain. “Retropulsion” and Death
Shortly after returning from Turkey, after coming offstage <mask> started to walk backwards.He identified as a sufferer of “retropulsion”, a psychological condition that he said caused him to only be able to walk backwards. In 2017, <mask> said: “I am not acting. If it wasn’t for the retropulsion, I would much prefer to be walking forwards.”

On July 2nd 2020, <mask> died at his Highgate home of peritonitis resulting from a gut obstruction. See also

texts:
<mask> (3 July 1873 — 17 September 1947) was a British painter. As a gay man, he chose to leave England, where the Labouchere Amendment made life difficult. He settled in Sicily, where he built a villa in Taormina, Casa Cuseni, that is now a historic house museum. Biography

Early years
<mask> was born into a wealthy family, the eldest son of <mask> and Jessie Ellershaw. His grandfather <mask> founded locomotive engineering firm Kitson and Company. His uncle was <mask>, 1st Baron Airedale. His sister was the first female Lord Mayor of Leeds, <mask>.He studied at Shrewsbury School and then went to Trinity College, Cambridge to study Natural Sciences in 1895. The following year, <mask> was chosen to receive a Harkness Scholarship and mostly concentrated on geological studies. At Cambridge he befriended the painter Cecil Arthur Hunt. Kitson suffered from rheumatic fever and was advised to spend the winters out of England, in a sunnier climate. <mask> became an artist, learning watercolour painting on sketching tours with Sir Alfred East and Sir Frank Brangwyn. From 1900 he was an active member of the Leeds Fine Arts Club. Life in Sicily

After his father's death in 1899, <mask> moved to Sicily where he designed and built Casa Cuseni, a villa with views of Mount Etna.Before permanently settling in Taormina, <mask> spent a lot of time in Venice, where he had his own regular gondolier. He also visited Naples and Ravello with his family and friends from Cambridge. His selection of Taormina as a place to settle was due to it being on the rise as a popular winter resort for European aristocracy. <mask> was also familiar with Wilhelm von Gloeden's

 works made in Taormina and owned von Gloeden's small collection of photographs of ephebes and heads of handsome Arab youths. <mask> also had a long friendship with Bobbie Pratt-Barlow, a distant relative who settled in the Villa Rosa just below Casa Cuseni. <mask> travelled extensively around Europe by train and took long voyages to North Africa, Egypt, Istanbul and, once, to Ceylon and India. <mask> was one of von Gloeden's studio clients; he and his visitors took their films to be developed and printed at von Gloeden's studio.Frank Brangwyn writes in his letters that <mask> and von Gloeden were good friends before the First World War. One of <mask>'s sketchbooks has a large group of sketches of young men, clothed as if Arabs and taken after von Gloeden's models. Von Gloeden photographed <mask>'s Taorminese lover, Carlo Siligato, making portraits and nudes. People in Taormina called <mask> the "crazy Englishman" for his appearance. He was tall and thin with blue eyes and a moustache and dressed with flamboyance in his colourful jackets. <mask> lived at Casa Cuseni until he was forced to leave Italy and come back to England when World War II reached Italy and Sicily became a battleground. After World War II
When Sicily fell, <mask> was regularly communicating with his friends left there.He had given the Allies information on Sicily and tried, without success, to save the ancient bridge over the Alcantara river from destruction. He was happy to find out that Casa Cuseni survived the War and this spurred on his attempts to get back to Sicily. The Mayor of Taormina requested to the British authorities that <mask> return to be president of the

 local building commission. His presence was regarded as essential to the reconstruction of the town, since it was essentially in ruins following the bombardment of 9 July 1943. <mask> returned to Sicily by the end of January 1946. In summer 1947, <mask> returned to his pre-war custom of spending part of the summer with family and friends in England. He flew back to Italy early in September, stopping in Rome.He returned to Taormina on 15 September 1947 and died at Casa Cuseni two days later, on 17 September 1947. <mask> was buried in the non-Catholic cemetery in Taormina in the presence of his Sicilian friends, some English expatriates and the Deputy British Consul in Sicily. Personal life
<mask> realised he was homosexual at an early age. He was able to live relatively freely, if not openly, in Taormina, surrounded by a community of artists and aristocrats. Charles Leslie writes that <mask> had a brief romantic relationship with Frank Brangwyn, whom he later employed for decoration of his Taorminese villa. In Taormina, his long-time companion was the handsome Sicilian Carlo Siligato. A series of photographs of Siligato by Vincenzo Galdi survives.Casa Cuseni
When <mask> first went to Taormina in 1898, he decided to build a house there, 800 feet above the sea. There he constructed his villa, Casa Cuseni, in the classical style, using local stones, marble, wood and terracotta. <mask> commissioned his friend Frank Brangwyn to create the dining room, for which Brangwyn designed the furniture and painted frescos. When <mask> died in 1947, the villa was inherited by his niece Daphne Phelps, who maintained and ran it till her death in 2005.

<mask> (8 November 1927 – 4 September 2006) was a Norwegian soprano who had an international opera career between 1956 and 1990. She was particularly celebrated for her portrayal of Wagnerian heroines and for her performances in operas by Richard Strauss. In addition to performing in operas, Bjoner was an active concert soloist and recital performer throughout her career. Biography

Background
She was born at Kråkstad in  Akershus, Norway. Her parents were <mask>  (1877–1950) and Alma Prestangen (1890–1982). She was the eighth of nine children
born to a farming family. Bjoner was educated as a pharmacist at the University of Oslo during which time she also studied voice with Gudrun Boellemose.She drew considerable public notice after an extraordinary performance at Oslo Cathedral which reoriented her path towards a professional musical career. She travelled to Germany for further voice lessons with Paul Lohmann at the Musikhochschule Frankfurt and Franziska Mattienseen-Lohmann in Düsseldorf. In 1956, Bjoner made her first professional appearance singing the roles of the Third Norn and Gutrune for a radio broadcast of Richard Wagner's Götterdämmerung produced by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and starring Kirsten Flagstad as Brünnhilde. In 1957 she made her stage debut as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni with the Norwegian National Opera; reprising the role later that year for her debut at the Wuppertal Opera.

<mask> (19 September 1874 – 29 March 1964) was an American machinist and businessman who was the inventor of the Centerless Cylindrical Grinder, the Heim Joint Rod End Bearing and a pioneer of modern spherical, ball and roller bearings. Heim was a self-taught machinist with an ability to visualize complex mechanisms and mechanical processes that resulted in the creation of novel machines, machine tools, manufacturing methods and mechanical bearings and was granted 92 patents over his lifetime. His inventions ranged from machines to manufacture hats and automate the ironing of fold collars to precision grinders and industrial bearings used in automobiles, aircraft and machinery. Early life

Born on a farm in New York in 1874,   Heim was the second of five children born to Charles and <mask>, both immigrants from Germany. In 1890, at the age of 16, Heim moved to Danbury, Connecticut, which, at that time, was one of the major centers for manufacturing hats in the United States. Heim took several odd jobs before taking a job as a machinist at one of the Danbury hat-making companies. Inventions

<mask> was an inventor of many types of machines, mechanical devices and manufacturing processes.In 1895, at the age of 21, <mask> developed a hat-stiffening machine (Patent No. 573,876) that freed the operator from having to hold or manipulate the hat during the process of applying stiffening compound. <mask>'s invention saved time, improved quality and lowered the cost of stiffening hats. Heim subsequently developed six additional complementary hat-making machines that were bought by many local manufacturers. In 1901, a large multinational manufacturer of hat-making machinery purchased six of <mask>'s patents. In 1902, Heim developed a laundry machine for detachable, fold-over collars. At that time, collars worn by men and women were stiffened with starch, then ironed to form an almost razor sharp edge that caused irritation to a person's neck.<mask>'s invention was a machine designed to iron, dry and

 shape detachable fold-over collars in a once-through process. Its unique feature, and one that was very popular, was its ability to soften the razor-edge of starched and ironed collars.3 <mask> received his first patent (780,750) for the “Collar Roller” in January 1903 and thereafter received seven additional patents for improvements and other types of collar and cuff ironing machines that he sold throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Centerless Cylindrical Grinder

In 1910, <mask> entered the nascent business of precision-made rolling type bearings and formed the Ball and Roller Bearing Company in Danbury, Connecticut. Heim first manufactured ball thrust, roller thrust and journal roller bearings mostly for machinery and vehicles. At that time, grinding processes used to manufacture the cylindrical rolls used in roller bearings were slow, tedious and costly. Most rolls were ground on center-type machines resembling lathes. The lack of suitable grinding machines for mass-production of bearing rolls, that were made from hardened steel, led Heim to develop a method for grinding rolls without centers.In late 1913, <mask> conceived of a two-wheel grinding machine that used a slowly rotating regulating wheel for controlling roll rotation against a high-speed grinding wheel. Heim filed his first patent (1,210,937) for a two-wheel centerless cylindrical grinder using a regulating wheel in March 1915. Heim called his invention a double-ring wheel roll grinding machine that ground uniform cylindrical work (rolls) using the radial sides of the two wheels. In order to grind a succession of rolls and to induce automatic forward motion of the rolls through the grinding zone, Heim installed an inclined centerless carrier in between the two wheels. The machine was able to grind 100 rolls for every roll ground on center-type grinders, grind to precision dimensions and greatly reduce production costs. Following the double ring-wheel machine, Heim developed centerless grinders using the peripheral surfaces

 of the two wheels that became the standard configuration for all future centerless grinders. His machines used either inclined carriers (1,264,930) or forward tilted regulating wheels (1,579,933) to draw the work through the grinding zone.The machines were able to grind both uniform and non-uniform cylindrical work with later machines able to achieve extreme precision to within 0.00001 inch (0.25 microns) and perfectly round work. Heim also developed tools and methods for grinding cylindrical work with various profiles including tapered, headed, rings, concave and convex shapes and was granted a total of 28 patents for centerless grinding. <mask>'s invention of the two-wheel centerless grinder had an immediate and widespread impact on industry, especially the automobile industry that ground many small cylindrical parts for internal combustion engines and other components. <mask>'s centerless grinder was so novel at the time that many machine tool companies illegally copied and sold competing machines. <mask>'s machine played an important roll in the development of automatic machine tools that was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution in its exhibit on grinding during the Hall of Tools exhibition presented in 1964. Spherical Rod End Bearing

Heim was the original inventor of the Spherical Rod End Bearing that became known as the “Heim Joint” and “Heim Rod End”. In 1942, at the request of the US Army Air Force, Heim developed a four-piece spherical bearing for installation in the control system of fighter aircraft to improve maneuverability.<mask>'s bearing consisted of a ball with a drilled-through hole, a threaded shaft (rod) that contained a circular head forming the outer race, and two soft-metal bushings that sealed the ball into the head. The threaded shaft allowed the rod end of the bearing to be connected to a moving component and adjusted as necessary for a tight connection. On September 29, 1942, <mask> filed his first patent application for the four-piece rod end bearing that was

texts:
<mask> (born <mask>; 2 April 1773 15 September 1832), commonly known as <mask>, was a Spanish soldier, governor and Captain General of Venezuela from June 1812 to 8 August 1813. <mask> was the leader of Spanish forces in the Venezuelan War of Independence from 1812 to 1813. <mask> led the military campaign that culminated in the fall of the First Republic of Venezuela in 1812. One year later in 1813, <mask> was defeated by Simón Bolívar during the Admirable Campaign. Early life and campaigns in Venezuela

<mask> was born in the Canarian town of San Cristóbal de La Laguna on 2 April 1773. With well won prestige and the rank of Frigate Captain, he was sent to Venezuela from Puerto Rico. He arrived at Coro in early March 1812 along with other Spanish marines.Monteverde was ordered by the governor of Coro, with a small force of 1550 men with soldiers and officers, to aid the small town of Siquisique, which had sent Fr. Andrés Torellas with news that it intended to defect from the Republic. As a nineteenth-century historian described, "with Spaniards and residents of Coro, a priest named Torellas, a surgeon, ten thousand cartridges, a howitzer, and ten hundredweights of food." Monteverde's military force was not prepared to begin a successful military campaign. The scarcity of resources is understandable, considering how Spain found itself fighting the Peninsular War against the Napoleonic forces in order to regain control over its own territory, and had spent the previous decade fighting mostly as an ally of France. There were no resources to send to the New World, in fact, Spain had been asking for donations and increased revenues from America. However, there was one crucial factor which aided Monteverde and the royalist cause: the social dissatisfaction of the people with the new rulers.(This lack of support for the republican leadership would later instigate Bolívar to begin a "Social War" during his Admirable Campaign.) After a seven-day march, he occupied the town on 17 March, and Monteverde found it easy to recruit

texts: new soldiers from the local population. With a growing force, he decided to continue marching into republican territory, despite having no authorization to do so. His successful advance was helped by the social support offered it by the lower classes, which viewed the mantuano (aristocratic) republican rulers as their enemies. He created an integrated military force of pardos, zambos, Canary Islanders, and other lower-class peoples. Middling and upper-class people also joined his cause. Many city leaders opened their cities to his informal army, and several mantuanos (among them the Marqués of Casa Leon) became his collaborators.This movement was reinforced by the earthquake on 26 March 1812 and the loss on 30 June of Puerto Cabello under the then-Colonel Simón Bolívar to royalist prisoners who managed to take over San Felipe Fort. Monteverde's vanguard under Francisco Marmól entered Barquisimeto on 2 April after the city defected to the royalist side on 31 March. Eventually he had an army large enough to march on Valencia, the site of a royalist uprising the previous year. After winning a battle against republican troops defending the city on 3 May, he was welcomed by the city. His next goal was Caracas. In June, <mask> <mask> Miranda to retreat. Monteverde's advance culminated in a capitulation agreed between Miranda and Monteverde on 25 July 1812 after the Battle of San Mateo.(Miranda never signed the final version, but it had been approved by his representatives in the negotiations.) After the fall of the first republic, Miranda was imprisoned and sent to Puerto Rico and later Cádiz. The majority of the patriot officials chose to go into exile, which was an option offered to them under the capitulation. In 1813, Santiago Mariño decided to invade Venezuela from the east, successfully capturing the port of Güiria, which was protected by a very small loyalist force, and later the plaza of Maturín, which Monteverde attempted, but failed to retake. Bolívar began his Admirable Campaign, entering through the Andes.

 Worried about Bolívar's presence near the Llanos, <mask> established the main branch for his forces in Valencia, a location in the plains at which the paths of Barinas, the Andes, and Maracaibo merge. His right flank was fortressed in the castle of Puerto Cabello and his rear was supported in Maracay and La Victoria.The positioning of <mask>'s military forces were comparable to those of Miranda in 1812. Nevertheless, <mask> lost a large part of the popular support that he had managed to build the previous year: the people who had taken him from Coro to the capital abandoned him in the face of Mariño in Maturín and Bolívar in Valencia because Monteverde did not meet, or allow the completion of, popular goals and expectations in 1813. <mask> was wounded in action at Las Trincheras on 3 October 1813, and near the end of the same year, he was deposed by his own officers in Puerto Cabello. Field Marshal <mask> Cajigal, nominally chief of José Tomás Boves, assumed the Captaincy General of Venezuela. <mask> moved to Puerto Rico and in 1816 returned to Spain. <mask> died in San Fernando, Cádiz, on 15 September 1832 with the rank of Brigadier.

<mask> (; 8 December 1864 19 October 1943) was a French sculptor known for her figurative works in bronze and marble. She died in relative obscurity, but later gained recognition for the originality and quality of her work. The subject of several biographies and films, Claudel is well known for her sculptures including The Waltz and The Mature Age. The national <mask>l Museum in Nogent-sur-Seine opened in 2017. Claudel was a longtime associate of sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the Musée Rodin in Paris has a room dedicated to her works. Sculptures created by Claudel are also held in the collections of several major museums including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Early years
<mask> was born in Fère-en-Tardenois, Aisne, in northern France, the first child of a family of farmers and gentry.Her father, Louis-Prosper <mask>, dealt in mortgages and bank transactions. Her mother, the former Louise-Athanaïse Cécile Cerveaux, came from a Champagne family of Catholic farmers and priests. The family moved to Villeneuve-sur-Fère while <mask> was still a baby. Her younger brother <mask> was born there in 1868. Subsequently, they moved to Bar-le-Duc (1870), Nogent-sur-Seine (1876), and Wassy-sur-Blaise (1879), although they continued to spend summers in Villeneuve-sur-Fère, and the stark landscape of that region made a deep impression on the children.

 ages of 5 to 12, Claudel was educated by the Sisters of Christian Doctrine. While living in Nogent-sur-Seine at age 12, Claudel began working with the local clay, regularly sculpting the human form.As <mask> grew older, she enriched her artistic education with literature and old engravings. Her mother Louise did not approve of Claudel's "unladylike desire to become an artist." Her father was more supportive and took examples of her artwork to their artist neighbor Alfred Boucher, to assess her abilities. Boucher confirmed that Claudel was a capable, talented artist and encouraged her family to support her study of sculpture. <mask> moved with her mother, brother, and younger sister to the Montparnasse area of Paris in 1881. Her father remained behind, working to support them. Creative period

Study with Alfred Boucher
Claudel was fascinated with stone and soil as a child, and as a young woman she studied at the Académie Colarossi, one of the few places open to female students.Once in Paris, she studied with sculptor Alfred Boucher. The Académie Colarossi was more progressive than other arts institutions in that it not only allowed female students at the school but also permitted them to work from nude male models. At the time, the École des Beaux-Arts barred women from enrolling to study. In 1882, Claudel rented a studio workshop on rue Notre-Dames des Champs in Paris that she shared with three British sculptors: Jessie Lipscomb, Emily Fawcett and Amy Singer (daughter of John Webb Singer, whose foundry in Frome,

 Somerset, made large-scale bronze statues.) Several prominent Frome works are in London, including the Boadicea group on the Embankment, Cromwell, which graces the lawn in front of the Houses of Parliament, and the figure of Justice atop the Old Bailey. General Gordon on his camel at Chatham Barracks was also cast in Frome, as were the eight lions that form part of the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town. Claudel visited Frome and the families of her fellow sculptors.All of these English friends had studied at the South Kensington Schools – that would become the Royal College of Art – before moving to Paris to be at the Academie Colarossi, where they had all met. Claudel prolonged her stay with Singer's family in Frome. Alfred Boucher had become Claudel's mentor, and provided inspiration and encouragement to the next generation of sculptors such as Laure Coutan. Claudel was depicted by Boucher in <mask>l lisant, and later she sculpted a bust of her mentor. After teaching Claudel and the other sculptors for over three years, Boucher moved to Florence following an award for the Grand Prix du Salon. Before he left he asked Auguste Rodin to take over the instruction of his pupils. Rodin and Claudel met, and their artistic association and the tumultuous and passionate relationship soon began.Auguste Rodin

<mask> started working in Rodin's workshop in 1883 and became a source of inspiration for him. She acted as his model, his confidante, and his lover. She never lived with Rodin, who was reluctant to end his 20-year relationship

 states that Claudel was the only sculptress on whose forehead shone the sign of genius like Berthe Morisot, the only well-known female painter of the century, and that Claudel's style was more virile than many of her male colleagues'. Others, like Morhardt and Caranfa, concurred, saying that their styles had become so different, with Rodin being more suave and delicate and Claudel being vehement with vigorous contrasts, which might have been one reason for their break up, with her becoming ultimately his rival.<mask>'s onyx and bronze small-scale La Vague (The Wave) (1897) was a conscious break in style from her Rodin period. It has a decorative quality quite different from the "heroic" feeling of her earlier work. The Mature Age and other works

After Rodin saw Claudel's The Mature Age for the first time, in 1899, he reacted with shock and anger. He suddenly and completely stopped his support for Claudel. According to Ayral-Clause, Rodin might have put pressure on the ministry of fine arts to cancel the funding for the bronze commission. The Mature Age (1900) is usually interpreted as an allegory of the three stages of life: the man who represents Maturity is drawn into the hands of the old woman who represents Old Age and Death, while the young woman who represents Youth tries to save him. Her brother interpreted it as an allegory of her break with Rodin.Angelo Caranfa comments that "The life that was, is, and will be in Maturity contains within its movement both the relentless movement of Clotho and the rhythmic,


title: Camille Claudel

texts: of her solitary existence and her inner search, her journey within. Ayral-Clause says that even though Rodin clearly signed some of her works, he was not treating her as different because of her gender; artists at this time generally signed their apprentices' work. Others also criticise Rodin for not giving her the acknowledgment or support she deserved. Walker argues that most historians believe Rodin did what he could to help her after their separation, and that her destruction of her own oeuvre was partly responsible for the long-time neglect the art world showed her. Walker also says that what truly defeated <mask>, who was already recognised as a leading sculptor by many, were the sheer difficulties of the medium and the market: sculpting was an expensive art, and she did not receive many official commissions because her style was highly unusual for the contemporary conservative tastes. Despite this, Le Cornec and Pollock believe she changed the history of arts.Other authors write that it is still unclear how much Rodin influenced Claudel – and vice versa, how much credit has been taken away from her, or how much he was responsible for her woes. Most modern authors agree that she was an outstanding genius who, starting with wealth, beauty, iron will and a brilliant future even before meeting Rodin, was never rewarded and died in loneliness, poverty, and obscurity. Others like Elsen, Matthews and Flemming suggest it was not Rodin, but her brother Paul who was jealous of her genius, and that he conspired with her

 mother, who never forgave her for her supposed immorality, to later ruin her and keep her confined to a mental hospital. Kavaler-Adler notes that her younger sister Louise, who desired <mask>'s inheritance and was also jealous of her, was delighted at her sister's downfall. Less well known than her love affair with Rodin, the nature of her relationship with Claude Debussy has also been the object of much speculation. Stephen Barr reports that Debussy pursued her: it was unknown whether they ever became lovers. They both admired Degas and Hokusai, and shared an interest in childhood and death themes.When Claudel ended the relationship, Debussy wrote: "I weep for the disappearance of the Dream of this Dream." Debussy admired her as a great artist and kept a copy of The Waltz in his studio until his death. By thirty, Claudel's romantic life had ended. Alleged illness and confinement
After 1905 Claudel appeared to be mentally ill. She destroyed many of her statues, disappeared for long periods of time, exhibited signs of paranoia and was diagnosed as having schizophrenia. She accused Rodin of stealing her ideas and of leading a conspiracy to kill her. After the wedding of her brother in 1906 and his return to China, she lived secluded in her workshop. Claudel's father approved of her career choice, and he tried to help and support her financially.But when he died on 2 March 1913, Claudel was not informed of his death. Instead, eight days later, on 10 March 1913, at the request of her younger brother Paul, she was admitted


title: Camille Claudel

texts: to the psychiatric hospital of Ville-Évrard in Neuilly-sur-Marne. The form read that she had been "voluntarily" committed, although her admission was signed only by a doctor and her brother. There are records to show that, while she did have mental outbursts, she was clear-headed while working on her art. Doctors tried to convince Paul and their mother that Claudel did not need to be in the institution, but they still kept her there. According to Cécile Bertran, a curator from the Musée Camille Claudel, the situation was not easy to judge, because modern experts who have looked at her records say she was indeed ill. In 1914, to be safe from advancing German troops, the patients at Ville-Évrard were at first relocated to Enghien.On 7 September 1914 Claudel was transferred with a number of other women, to the Montdevergues Asylum, at Montfavet, six kilometres from Avignon. Her certificate of admittance to Montdevergues was signed on 22 September 1914; it reported that she suffered "from a systematic persecution delirium mostly based upon false interpretations and imagination". For a while, the press accused her family of committing a sculptor of genius. Her mother forbade her to receive mail from anyone other than her brother. The hospital staff regularly proposed to her family that Claudel be released, but her mother adamantly refused each time. On 1 June 1920, physician Dr. Brunet sent a letter advising her mother to try to reintegrate her daughter into the family environment. Nothing came of this.<mask> visited his

Their sister Louise visited her just one time in 1929. Her mother, who died in June 1929, never visited Claudel. In 1929 sculptor and Claudel's former friend Jessie Lipscomb visited her, and afterwards insisted "it was not true" that Claudel was insane. Rodin's friend, Mathias Morhardt, insisted that Paul was a "simpleton" who had "shut away" his sister of genius. <mask> died on 19 October 1943, after having lived 30 years in the asylum at Montfavet (known then as the Asile de Montdevergues, now the modern psychiatric hospital Centre hospitalier de Montfavet).Her brother Paul had been informed of his sister's terminal illness in September and, with some difficulty, had crossed Occupied France to see her, although he was not present at her death or funeral. Her sister did not make the journey to Montfavet. Claudel was interred in the cemetery of Montfavet, and eventually her remains were buried in a communal grave at the asylum. From the 2002 book, <mask>, A Life:  "Ten years after her death, <mask>'s bones had been transferred to a communal grave, where they were mixed with the bones of the most destitute.

Musée <mask>l

The Musée <mask> was opened in March, 2017, as a French national museum dedicated to Claudel's work. It is located in her teenage home town of Nogent-sur-Seine. The Musée <mask>l displays approximately half of Claudel's 90 surviving works. Plans to turn the Claudel family home at Nogent-sur-Seine into a museum were announced in 2003, and the museum negotiated with the Claudel family to buy <mask>'s works. These include 70 pieces, including a bust of Rodin. Legacy

Though she destroyed much of her work, about 90 statues, sketches and drawings survive.She was at first censored as she portrayed sexuality in her work. Her response was a symbolic, intellectual style as opposed to the "expressive" approach normally attributed to women artists. Some authors argue that Henrik Ibsen based his last play, 1899's When We Dead Awaken, on Rodin's relationship with Claudel. In 1951, <mask> organised an exhibition at the Musée Rodin, which continues to display her sculptures. A large exhibition of her works was organised in

<mask> (February 16, 1838 – March 27, 1918) was an American historian and a member of the <mask> political family, descended from two U.S. Presidents. As a young Harvard graduate, he served as secretary to his father, <mask>, Abraham Lincoln's ambassador to the United Kingdom. The posting influenced the younger man through the experience of wartime diplomacy, and absorption in English culture, especially the works of John Stuart Mill. After the American Civil War, he became a political journalist who entertained America's foremost intellectuals at his homes in Washington and Boston. During his lifetime, he was best known for The History of the United States of America During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a nine-volume work, praised for its literary style, command of the documentary evidence, and deep (family) knowledge of the period and its major figures. His posthumously published memoir, The Education of <mask>, won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to be named by the Modern Library as the best English-language nonfiction book of the 20th century. Early life
He was born in Boston on February 16, 1838, into one of the country's most prominent families.His parents were Charles Francis <mask>, Sr. (1807–1886) and Abigail Brooks (1808–1889). Both his paternal grandfather, John Quincy <mask>, and great-grandfather, <mask>, one of the most prominent among the Founding Fathers, had been U.S. Presidents. His maternal grandfather, Peter Chardon Brooks, was one of Massachusetts' most successful and wealthiest merchants. Another great-grandfather, Nathaniel Gorham, signed the Constitution.

 University in 1858, he embarked on a grand tour of Europe, during which he also attended lectures in civil law at the University of Berlin. He was initiated into the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity as an honorary member at the 1893 Columbian Exposition by Harris J. Ryan, a judge for the exhibit on electrical engineering. Through that organization, he was a member of the Irving Literary Society.During the Civil War
<mask> returned home from Europe in the midst of the heated presidential election of 1860. He tried his hand again at law, taking employment with Judge Horace Gray's Boston firm, but this was short-lived. His father, Charles Francis <mask>, Sr., was also seeking re-election to the US House of Representatives. After his successful re-election, Charles Francis asked <mask> to be his private secretary, continuing a father-son pattern set by John and John Quincy and suggesting that Charles Francis had chosen <mask> as the political scion of that generation of the family. <mask> shouldered the responsibility reluctantly and with much self-doubt. "[I] had little to do", he reflected later, "and knew not how to do it rightly."

While in Britain, <mask> was befriended by many noted men, including Charles Lyell, Francis T. Palgrave, Richard Monckton Milnes, James Milnes Gaskell, and Charles Milnes Gaskell. He worked to introduce the young <mask> to English society, with the help of his closest and lifelong friend Charles Milnes Gaskell and his wife Lady Catherine (nee Wallop).While in Britain, <mask> read and was taken with the works of John Stuart Mill. For <mask>, Mill's Considerations on Representative Government showed the necessity of an enlightened, moral, and intelligent elite to provide leadership to a government elected by the masses and subject to demagoguery, ignorance, and corruption. <mask> wrote to his brother Charles that Mill demonstrated to him that "democracy is still capable of rewarding a conscientious servant." His years in London led <mask> to conclude that he could best provide that knowledgeable and conscientious leadership by working as a correspondent and journalist. Return to America

In 1868, <mask> returned to the United States and settled in Washington, DC, where he began working as a journalist. <mask> saw himself as a traditionalist longing for the democratic ideal of the 17th and 18th centuries. Accordingly, he was keen on exposing political corruption in his journalism.Harvard professor
In 1870, <mask> was appointed professor of medieval history at Harvard, a position he held until his early retirement in 1877 at 39. As an academic historian, <mask> is considered to have been the first (in

<mask>'s The History of the United States of America (1801 to 1817) (9 vols., 1889–1891) is a highly detailed history of the Jefferson and Madison administrations with a focus on diplomacy. Wide praise was given for its literary merit, especially the opening five chapters of volume 1, describing the nation in 1800. These chapters have also been criticized; Noble Cunningham states flatly, "<mask> misjudged the state of the nation in 1800."In striving for literary effect, Cunningham argues, <mask> ignored the dynamism and sophistication of the new nation. Such arguments aside, historians have long recognized it as a major and permanent monument of American historiography. It has been called "a neglected masterpiece" by Garry Wills, and "a history yet to be replaced" by the great historian C. Vann Woodward.
