Earliest assessments
Christopher Hahn, General Director of the Pittsburgh Opera, observed: "It's very unusual for a young child to have a voice that sounded so rich and developed." "I thought she was just lovely, sweetly compelling". Hahn particularly praised Evancho's phrasing. Composer Tim Janis commented that Evancho "takes a classical piece and makes it friendly and accessible. ...Her voice is so pure and natural, there's no flaw in it. People say 'I can hear her potential coming,' but no, it's here, it's now." Claudia Benack, Assistant Professor of musical theatre at Carnegie Mellon University, said that <mask> "has an unusually adult feel for the repertoire. ... She sings to the important part of the phrase, and then backs off. That's instinctual. ... She takes breaths sometimes where an adult would not, but that's just because she's young and little. ... She sings from the

Critic Tim Page, however, wrote that Evancho "has many years of work ahead of her before she becomes any sort of musician". Andrew Druckenbrod, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reviewing Evancho's 2011 Pittsburgh Opera concert, stated that "what was most impressive ... was how musical she was ... her focus on phrasing and an understanding of the emotion in the ... musical numbers." The review also praised "her reverberant chest voice [and] her head voice, hitting the highest register with intonation and purity" and echoed Janis: "That she continues to be greeted with skepticism is unfair. ... Yes, the concert showed that <mask> is a young girl, yet one with artistry to be appreciated now without debating about what her future might hold." Antony Walker, Pittsburgh Opera's music director, said: "she has a very sincere way of singing.... Her voice has a lovely quality to it. It's very simple singing but it comes from the heart. You rarely hear someone so young with such a beautiful voice". Nekesa Mumbi Moody, writing for Associated Press, commented that, although "there is a youthful quality in <mask>'s voice, it's hardly childlike: It's a soprano that deftly traverses the musical scales".

Marcia Adair of the Los Angeles Times commented, in reviewing Dream With Me: [W]hat makes us feel like she will survive the journey from child star to adult performer is her magnificent sense of pitch, her natural ability to shape phrases and the ease with which she performs." Jon Caramanica, in The New York Times, reviewed her Avery Fisher Hall concert: "In the first half of the show Ms. Evancho often receded, but toward the end of the night she found purpose, delivering 'A Time for Us' with punch, and closing out Sarah McLachlan's 'Angel' with what felt like real yearning". The Wall Street Journal called <mask>'s 2011 performance of the song "Angel" on the Tonight Show "moving".A San Francisco Chronicle review of a 2012 concert judged her singing "an impressive thing to witness, and Evancho's technical precision and enormous range only serve to make it seem less fluky", but felt that "every selection sounded alike". A reviewer for The Denver Post wrote that <mask> "displayed her famous combo of poise and articulation". A Naples Daily News review stated: "Her poise. Her control. Her range. ... Her voice and her performance exhausted all of the superlatives in the dictionary."In 2013, an Atlanta reviewer commented: "Her pure and well-formed vowel

 the material".A chapter in the 2016 book, Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music: Performance, Authority, Authenticity, by Dana Gorzelany-Mostak, Assistant Professor of Music at Georgia College, is devoted to analyzing Evancho's career and influence. Gorzelany-Mostak writes:

Will Friedwald wrote of Evancho's 2017 concert series at Café Carlyle, that "this superhuman voice is housed in the person of someone relatively inexperienced in terms of relating to an audience and especially in a New York nightclub. (It will be years, if ever, before she can connect with a crowd like, for instance, Marilyn Maye.) ... She covers a lot of bases musically. ... Her rendition of "Music of the Night" is especially moving. ...Hearing <mask>cho in such an intimate space is a rare chance to experience perfection at close proximity." Linda Amiel Burns praised Evancho's voice but thought that some of the song choices were odd, and that sometimes "it was difficult to understand the lyrics". She felt that Evancho sounded more comfortable in her classical selections, but that pop songs require "a different vocal technique with more emphasis on the lyrics ... she has to watch her phrasing ... breathe in the right places, and find the deeper meaning and longing that the song expresses." A reviewer for New Jersey Stage wrote that, at her December 13, 2019 concert, "Evancho sings with feeling. [Her] voice floats out over the audience … with precision and grace, her runs and tone spot on". A review of her 2020 cover of "River" in American Songwriter praised "her lilting soprano vocals and the purity and perfection she finds within her upper register".

<mask> (14 December 1836 – 3 June 1879) was an English religious poet and hymnwriter. Take My Life and Let it Be and Thy Life for Me (also known as I Gave My Life for Thee) are two of her best known hymns. She also wrote hymn melodies, religious tracts, and works for children. She did not occupy, and did not claim for herself, a prominent place as a poet, but she carved out a niche for herself. Early life and education
<mask> was born into an Anglican family, at Astley in Worcestershire, 14 December 1836. Her father, <mask> (1793–1870), was a clergyman, writer, composer, and hymnwriter. Her brother, <mask>, was a priest in the Church of England and an organist.When she was five, her father moved to the Rectory of St. Nicholas, Worcester. In August, 1850, she entered Mrs. Teed's school, who had a strong influence on her. In the following year she says, "I committed my soul to the Saviour, and earth and heaven seemed brighter from that moment." A short sojourn in Germany followed. In 1852/3, she studied in the Louisenschule, Düsseldorf, and at Oberkassel. Havergal's scholastic acquirements were extensive, embracing several modern languages, together with Greek and Hebrew. On her return to England, she was confirmed in Worcester Cathedral, 17 July 1853.Career
In 1860, she left Worcester upon her father resigning the Rectory of St. Nicholas, and resided at different periods in

 which were printed in Parlane's Series of Leaflets are distinguished as (P., 1872, &c.) and those in Caswall's series (C., 1873, &c). Most of these hymns are given in Snepp's Songs of Grace and Glory, and many of them are also in several other hymn-books, including Hymns Ancient and Modern, Hymns and Sacred Lyrics, Church Hymns, The Hymnal Companion, and some of the leading American collections. Death and legacy

Havergal died of peritonitis near Caswell Bay on the Gower Peninsula in Wales at age 42. She is buried in the far western corner of the churchyard at St Peter's parish church, Astley, together with her father and near her sister, Maria Vernon Graham Havergal.Her sisters saw much of her work published posthumously. Havergal College, a private girls' school in Toronto, is named after her. The composer <mask> Brian adopted the name as a tribute to the Havergal family. Style and themes
Her hymns praised the love of God, and His way of salvation to this end, and for this object, her whole life and all her powers were consecrated. She lived and spoke in every line of her poetry. Her religious views and theological bias were distinctly set forth in her poems, and may be described as mildly Calvinistic, without the severe dogmatic tenet of reprobation. The burden of her writings was a free and full salvation, through the Redeemer's merits, for every sinner who will receive it,

title: James Tissot

<mask> (; 15 October 1836 – 8 August 1902), Anglicized as <mask> (), was a French painter and illustrator. He was a successful painter of Paris society before moving to London in 1871. He became famous as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women shown in various scenes of everyday life. He also painted scenes and figures from the Bible. Early life
<mask> was born in the city of Nantes in France and spent his early childhood there. His father, Marcel Théodore Tissot, was a successful drapery merchant. His mother, Marie Durand, assisted her husband in the family business and designed hats.A devout Catholic, <mask>'s mother instilled pious devotion in the future artist from a very young age. <mask>'s youth spent in Nantes likely contributed to his frequent depiction of shipping vessels and boats in his later works. The involvement of his parents in the fashion industry is believed to have been an influence on his painting style, as he depicted women's clothing in fine detail. By the time <mask> was 17, he knew he wanted to pursue painting as a career. His father opposed this, preferring his son to follow a business profession, but the young Tissot gained his mother's support for his chosen vocation. Around this time, he began using the given name of <mask>. By 1854 he was commonly known as <mask>; he may have adopted it because of his increasing interest in everything English.Early career

In 1856 or 1857, <mask> travelled to Paris to pursue an education in art. While staying with a friend of his mother, painter Jules-Élie Delaunay, <mask> enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to study in the studios of Hippolyte Flandrin and Louis Lamothe. Both were successful Lyonnaise painters who moved to Paris to study under Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Lamothe provided the majority of <mask>'s studio education, and the young artist studied on his own by copying works at the Louvre, as did most other artists of the time in their early years. Around this time, <mask> also made the acquaintance of the American <mask> Whistler, and French painters

 Edgar Degas (who had also been a student of Lamothe and a friend of Delaunay), and Édouard Manet. In 1859, <mask> exhibited in the Paris Salon for the first time. He showed five paintings of scenes from the Middle Ages, many depicting scenes from Goethe's Faust.These works show the influence in his work of the Belgian painter Henri Leys (Jan August Hendrik Leys), whom <mask> had met in Antwerp earlier that same year. Other influences include the works of the German painters Peter von Cornelius and Moritz Retzsch. After <mask> had first exhibited at the Salon and before he had been awarded a medal, the French government paid 5,000 francs for his depiction of The Meeting of Faust and Marguerite in 1860, with the painting being exhibited at the Salon the following year, together with a portrait and other paintings. Mature career

Émile Péreire supplied <mask>'s painting Walk in the Snow for the 1862 international exhibition in London; the next year three paintings by <mask> were displayed at the London gallery of Ernest Gambart. In about 1863, <mask> suddenly shifted his focus from the medieval style to the depiction of modern life through portraits. During this period, Tissot gained high critical acclaim, and quickly became a success as an artist. Like contemporaries such as Alfred Stevens and Claude Monet, <mask> also explored Japonisme, including Japanese objects and costumes in his pictures and expressing style influence.Degas painted a portrait of <mask> from these years (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), in which he is sitting below a Japanese screen hanging on the wall. <mask> fought in the Franco-Prussian War as part of the improvised defence of Paris, joining two companies of the Garde Nationale and later as part of the Paris Commune. His 1870 painting La Partie Carrée (The Foursome) evoked the period of the French revolution. Either because of the radical political associations related to the Paris Commune (which he was believed to have joined mostly to protect his own belongings rather than for shared ideology), or because

Having already worked as a caricaturist for Thomas Gibson Bowles, the owner of the magazine Vanity Fair, as well as exhibited at the Royal Academy, Tissot arrived with established social and artistic connections in London. <mask> used the name Coïdé in Vanity Fair from 1869 to 1873.<mask> quickly developed his reputation as a painter of elegantly dressed women shown in scenes of fashionable life. By 1872 <mask> had bought a house in St John's Wood, an area of London very popular with artists at the time. According to The Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists, "in 1874 Edmond de Goncourt wrote sarcastically that he had 'a studio with a waiting room where, at all times, there is iced champagne at the disposal of visitors'". He gained membership of The Arts Club in 1873. Paintings by <mask> appealed greatly to wealthy British industrialists during the second half of the 19th century. During 1872 he earned 94,515 francs, an income normally only enjoyed by those in the echelons of the upper classes. In 1874, Degas asked him to join them in the first exhibition organized by the artists who became known as the Impressionists, but Tissot refused.He continued to be close to these artists, however. Berthe Morisot visited him in London in 1874, and he travelled to Venice with Édouard Manet at about the same time. He regularly saw Whistler, who influenced Tissot's Thames river scenes. In 1875 or 1876, <mask> met Kathleen Newton, a divorcee who became the painter's companion and frequent model. He composed an etching of her in 1876 entitled Portrait of Mrs N., more commonly titled . She gave birth to a son, Cecil George Newton in 1876, who is believed to be Tissot's son. She moved into Tissot's household in St. John's Wood in 1876 and lived with him until her death in the late stages of consumption in 1882.<mask> frequently referred to these years with Newton as the happiest of his life, a time when he was able to live

 out his dream of a family life. After Kathleen Newton's death, <mask> returned to Paris. A major exhibition of his work took place in 1885 at the Galerie Sedelmeyer, where he showed 15 large paintings in a series called . Unlike the genre scenes of fashionable women he painted in London, these paintings represent different types and classes of women, shown in professional and social scenes. The works also show the widespread influence of Japanese prints, as he used unexpected angles and framing from that tradition. He created a monumental context in the size of the canvases. <mask> was among many Western artists and designers influenced at the time by Japanese art, fashion and aesthetics.Late career

In 1885, <mask> had a revival of his Catholic faith, which led him to spend the rest of his life making paintings about Biblical events. Many of his artist friends were skeptical about his conversion, as it conveniently coincided with the French Catholic revival, a reaction against the secular attitude of the French Third Republic. At a time when French artists were working in Impressionism, Pointillism, and heavy oil washes, <mask> was moving toward realism in his watercolors. To assist in his completion of biblical illustrations, <mask> traveled to the Middle East in 1886, 1889, and 1896 to make studies of the landscape and people. His series of 365 gouache (opaque watercolor) illustrations showing the life of Christ were shown to critical acclaim and enthusiastic audiences in Paris (1894–1895), London (1896) and New York (1898–1899), before being bought by the Brooklyn Museum in 1900. They were published in a French edition in 1896–1897 and in an English one in 1897–1898, bringing Tissot vast wealth and fame. During July 1894, <mask> was awarded the Légion d'honneur, France's most prestigious medal.<mask> spent the last years of his life working on paintings of subjects from the Old Testament. Although he never completed the series, he exhibited 80 of these paintings in Paris in 1901 and engravings after them were published in 1904. Death

 and legacy
<mask> died suddenly in Doubs, France, on 8 August 1902, while living in the Château de Buillon, a former abbey which he had inherited from his father in 1888. His grave is in the chapel sited within the grounds of the chateau. Widespread use of his illustrations in literature and slides continued after his death with The Life of Christ and The Old Testament becoming the "definitive Bible images". In 1906, filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché used the Tissot Bible as reference material for her largest production at Gaumont to date, The Passion, creating twenty-five episodes, with approximately three hundred extras. His images provided a foundation for contemporary films such as the design for the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and lifestyle themes in The Age of Innocence (1993).In the first half of the 20th century, there was a re-kindling of interest in his portraits of fashionable ladies and some fifty years later, these were achieving record prices.

<mask> (also , ; ; August 3, 1832 – December 16, 1914), was a Croatian composer, conductor, director, and teacher who dominated Croatia's musical culture for over forty years. Through his artistic and institutional reform efforts, he is credited with its revitalization and refinement, paving the way for new and significant Croatian musical achievements in the 20th century. He is often called the Croatian Verdi. Life

Childhood years

<mask> was born in Fiume, modern-day Rijeka, Croatia. His family migrated from Bratislava, Slovakia; his father, Johann Zaytz, was of Czech descent, and his mother, Anna Bodensteiner was of German descent. His musical talent was evident very early on in his life, as he began to study the piano and violin at the age of five, performed in public by the age of six, and even began to compose his own music by the age of twelve. Nevertheless, despite his early musical success, his military bandmaster father was opposed to the idea of a career in music and wanted him to study law instead following the completion of his secondary education.In the end, <mask>'s professors prevailed and he entered the Milan Conservatory in 1850 with his father's consent. Early success in Milan and Vienna

<mask> studied in Milan from 1850 to 1855, under the supervision of Stefano Ronchetti-Monteviti (counterpoint and composition), Alberto Mazzucato (orchestration), and Lauro Rossi (dramatic music). During this period, <mask> took his studies very seriously and regularly won prizes as one of

 the conservatory's most talented students. He was awarded first prize at his graduation examination for the opera La Tirolese (1855), which was performed on stage in the same year. <mask>'s future as a composer and conductor in Milan was secure, but the death of his parents in the meantime forced him to return to Rijeka. Back home, he accepted the post of conductor and concert master of the Town Theatre Orchestra, taught stringed instruments at the Philharmonic Institute, and simultaneously wrote numerous compositions with his characteristic speed and ease. In 1860, his opera Amelia ossia Il Bandito was met with great success, though two years later, after a prolonged illness, <mask> chose to move to Vienna, where opera and theatre were flourishing.His eight-year stay there (1862–70) was marked by further success, though he settled for composing operettas rather than operas. His first Viennese work, Mannschaft an Bord (1863), was enormously well received and his later operettas only served to strengthen his growing reputation. Yet it was in Vienna that Zajc became involved with the Croatian academic society Velebit and frequently met with young Croatian students. Influenced by such Croatian cultural figures as bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer and poets Petar Preradović, <mask>, August Šenoa, and Matija Divković, <mask> chose patriotism over world fame and returned to Croatia. Return to Croatia

Upon his arrival in Zagreb in 1870, Zajc was presented with two posts:  director and conductor of the

 Croatian Opera and director and teacher at the Croatian Institute of Music. It was during this period that Zajc made his colossal contribution to Croatian musical culture, not only through his compositions, but also through his leadership in reorganizing Zagreb's musical institutions. He was also an excellent vocal teacher and succeeded in training several prominent singers.<mask> was an exceptionally prolific composer as evidenced by almost 1000 works, from Op. 234 to Op. 1202, produced during his time in Zagreb. Included in this number are Mislav (1870), Ban Leget (1872), his masterpiece Nikola Šubić Zrinski (1876), and Lizinka (1878), in addition to operettas, musical comedies, cantatas, songs and choral compositions, concerti, chamber music, and many other works. <mask>'s appointment at the opera was held until 1889, when owing to financial difficulties the organization lapsed for a time, but <mask> retained his post at the school until 1908, when he finally retired. He is credited with reviving Croatian music during a period of musical stagnation after the collapse of the Illyrian Movement and raising it to the artistic level where it stands today. His efforts paved the way for new and significant Croatian musical achievements in the early 20th century, which <mask> himself lived to see until his death on December 16, 1914 in Zagreb.List of major works

<mask> (born 29 June 1941, Frankfurt am Main – 29 December 1987) was a German journalist, and an Alliance '90/The Greens politician. Biography
In 1966, she became a press spokesperson for the Socialist German Student Union ("Sozialistische Deutsche Studentenbund" / SDS). After completing her degree in Applied Economics ("Volkswirtschaft"), in 1970 she travelled in the Middle-East. During the 1970s she took a lectureship in "International Relations" at Frankfurt University. During this time she maintained contacts with various terrorist groups. On 26 November 1974 <mask> was arrested. This was part of "Aktion Winterreise", a nationwide raid in fifteen towns and cities, which targeted RAF supporters in the aftermath of the murder of Berlin Court President Günter von Drenkmann by members of the 2 June Movement.<mask> was arrested on suspicion of "illegal trafficking in weapons and explosives". All those arrested were released after two weeks, possibly apart from <mask>. Sources differ over whether she was released after a couple of weeks like the others but then re-arrested soon afterwards, or whether, unlike the others, she remained in investigative custody at this point. <mask> vehemently protested her innocence and some months later became seriously ill. She was released "for reasons of health" before the prosecuting authorities had completed their work on her case. She returned to Frankfurt University where for several years she combined with her other work  the presidency of the student parliament. In 1978 she published a pamphlet in Italian in Milan in the form of a "diary from the dungeon" in which she presented "Aktion Winterreise" as an act of state persecution of intellectuals in Germany, of which she had been a victim. There are indications that during her time in Milan in the late 1970s Heinich was in close

One of her colleagues at the newspaper was the radical lawyer Klaus Croissant. It was also in 1980 that <mask> <mask> finally faced trial. She received a 21 month prison sentence "for weapons smuggling". The context for her trial was her involvement in a German-Italian-Swiss "anarchist" network which was headed up by her friend, the German-Italian alleged terrorist Petra Krause. Possibly on account of her excellent media contacts, and the widespread belief on the radical left that prison conditions for West German "political prisoners" were exceptionally grim, <mask>'s imprisonment became something of a 'cause célèbre'. Several sources strongly hint that it was because of this that she served her sentence under conditions of "semi-freedom", described by one source as a "daytime release", which enabled her to continue providing contributions to the Tageszeitung while returning to prison at nights.Her sentence was completed at the end of 1983, and she accepted the offer of a place on the party list of the Green Party for the European parliamentary election in June 1984. Reflecting the fringe position which the party then occupied on the West German political spectrum, her name was placed second on the list and she accordingly became one of the seven German Green Party members of the parliament, retaining her seat till her sudden death in 1987. She died as the result of a heart attack two days before the end of the year. Her funeral took place on 6 January 1988 in the principal chamber of the Frankfurt Main Cemetery and was attended by members and representatives from a range of

 left-wing groups from many countries. Agent of the East German security services
Following reunification in 1990 researchers gained access to a vast archive of the carefully compiled documentation produced between 1950 and 1989 by the East Germany Ministry for State Security "(Stasi)". It was discovered that since the early part of 1981 <mask> had been passing information to the East German security services. She was identified in Stasi records under the code names "IM Taler" and also, after 1983 as "Beate Schäfer".While they worked together on the Tageszeitung Brigitte <mask> and Klaus Croissant also teamed up together in their personal lives. In this connection <mask> was recruited, apparently by Croissant, as a Stasi informer. She worked for Hauptabteilung XXII ("Main department 12") which concerned itself with "observing" terrorism in West Germany. It was only after she died that it became known to authorities in the west that she had received her orders through Klaus Croissant and transmitted her reports to Stasi handlers in East Berlin through him. It is not clear from sources how the Hessischer regional branch of the Green Party came to nominate <mask> <mask> as a candidate for the 1984 European parliamentary election, but it is clear from sources that emerged subsequently that she only accepted the nomination after discussion with Stasi handlers. As a member of the European parliament <mask> became important not just to the Stasi's "Hauptabteilung XXII" but also to its National Intelligence Directorate ("Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung" / HVA). The HVA was East Germany's intelligence service with respect to West Germany.Most intelligence activity conducted on behalf of Warsaw Pact governments and Western Europe was tightly controlled from Moscow by the KGB. With respect to West Germany, however, it was far more

 effective to conduct espionage from East Germany because the extent of the shared language and kinships, culture and histories of East and West Germany meant that the pool of potential sympathizers, informants and secret intelligence operatives was immeasurably vast. As "Beate Schäfer" she was able to report, after May 1984, on the discussions between the national sub-groups of the parliament's Green group. The HVA were keen that she should become influential within the parliamentary Green faction and accordingly insisted that she distance herself from the "militant activist scene" in West Germany. In this way she might become more than a conventional "Stasi informant". As an influential voice of the left she would be able to influence detailed discussions within the European parliament and its committees in ways that aligned more closely with East German government objectives. From Stasi records it is apparent that "from 29 November 1984 Dr. Croissant and <mask> Heinich unconditionally separated themselves from the terrorist scene".<mask> was instructed to raise her profile in the Green Party and in the increasingly important "peace movement". By the time of her sudden death at the end of December 1987 it appears that she was succeeding. Through Croissant she had submitted detailed reports to her handlers containing a multiplicity of detail about meetings involving the "rainbow coalition" within the European parliament and involving the party's Bundestag group in the West German capital. She had also attended at least eight meetings with senior HVA officers . Further reading

<mask>  (born 9 October 1935) is a British photojournalist, particularly recognised for his war photography and images of urban strife. His career, which began in 1959, has specialised in examining the underside of society, and his photographs have depicted the unemployed, downtrodden and  impoverished. Early life
<mask> was born in St Pancras, London,  and grew up in Finsbury Park, but he was evacuated to a farm in Somerset during the Blitz. He is slightly dyslexic but displayed a talent for drawing at the secondary modern school he attended. He won a scholarship to Hammersmith School of Arts and Crafts but, following the death of his father, he left school at the age of 15, without qualifications, for a catering job on the railways. He was then called up for National Service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1953. Photojournalism
During his National Service, <mask> was posted to the Suez Canal during the 1956 Suez Crisis, and served as a photographer's assistant.He failed the written theory paper to become a photographer in the RAF and spent his service in the darkroom. During this period <mask> bought his first camera, a Rolleicord, for £30 when stationed in Nairobi. On return to Britain, shortage of funds led to his pawning the camera and his mother used her money to redeem the pledge. In 1958 he took a photograph of a local London gang posing in a bombed-out building. He was persuaded by his colleagues to take his photograph of The Guvnors, as the gang was known, to The Observer, which published it, setting him on his path as a photographer. Between 1966 and 1984, he worked as an overseas correspondent for the Sunday Times Magazine, recording ecological and man-made catastrophes such as wars, amongst them Biafra in 1968, and victims of the African AIDS epidemic. His hard-hitting coverage of the Vietnam War and the Northern Ireland conflict is held

Also in 1968, on 28 July, he was invited to photograph the Beatles, then at the height of their fame and in the midst of recording The White Album. These sessions, made at several London locations, have become known as The Mad Day Out. They contain many well-known images of the band, including the gatefold sleeve picture from the Red and Blue compilations where the Beatles mingled with the crowd seen through railings. The photographs from this day were published in the 2010 book A Day in the Life of the Beatles. A documentary about McCullin entitled Just One More War, directed by Jana Boková, with ATV as the production company, aired on the ITV network in 1977. In 1982 the British government refused to grant McCullin a press pass to cover the Falklands War, claiming the boat was full.At the time he believed it was because the Thatcher government felt his images might be too disturbing politically. He is the author of a number of books, including The Palestinians (with Jonathan Dimbleby, 1980), Beirut: A City in Crisis (1983) and <mask> in Africa (2005). His book, Shaped by War (2010) was published to accompany a retrospective exhibition at the Imperial War Museum North, Salford, England in 2010 and then at the Victoria Art Gallery, Bath and the Imperial War Museum, London. His most recent publication is Southern Frontiers: A Journey Across the Roman Empire, a poetic and contemplative study of selected Roman and pre-Roman ruins in North Africa and the Middle East. In 2012, a documentary film of his life, McCullin, directed by David Morris and Jacqui Morris, was released. It was nominated for two BAFTA awards. In later years, McCullin has turned to landscape,

A special exhibition dedicated to his work is to be commissioned. Asked about the rise of digital photography, he said: "Digital photography can be a totally lying experience – you can move what you want. The whole thing can’t be trusted really". Filmed in February 2018 and broadcast in May, the BBC Four documentary The Road To Palmyra saw <mask> visit Syria with historian Dan Cruickshank to see the devastation left by the conflict on the UNESCO listed site of Palmyra. Discussing his trip with the Radio Times he spoke of his approach to entering war zones: "I have risked my life endless times, and ended up in hospital with all kinds of burns and shell wounds. I have those reptile eyes that see behind and in front of me.I’m constantly trying to stay alive. I’m aware of warfare, of hidden mines." Despite his reputation as a war photographer, <mask> has said that Alfred Stieglitz was a key influence on his work. Personal life

"I am a professed atheist, until I find myself in serious circumstances. Then I quickly fall on my knees, in my mind if not literally, and I say : 'Please God, save me from this.'" "I have been manipulated, and I have in turn manipulated others, by recording their response to suffering and misery. So there is guilt in every direction: guilt because I don't practise religion, guilt because I was able to walk away, while this man was dying of starvation or being murdered by another man with a gun. And I am tired of guilt, tired of saying to myself: "I didn't kill that man on that photograph, I didn't starve that child."That's why I want to photograph landscapes and flowers. I am sentencing myself to peace." "Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures." References

<mask> (born February 13, 1965) is an American contemporary artist. <mask> initially gained notoriety for her series of Missing Person paintings, in which she appropriated and embellished upon, or subtracted from, recognizable works from art history. Media coverage is often quick to note <mask>'s family background, an art pedigree originating with her great-grandfather, the 20th century painter <mask>. Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper in 2003 referred to <mask> as "art royalty", a term occasionally paraphrased when discussing <mask> and her artwork. Early life
<mask> was born in Boston on February 13, 1965,
and was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, having what has been described as a "hippie childhood". Her father is the sculptor <mask>, whose grandfather was <mask>. <mask> had "serious" dyslexia in her youth, which she remedied through creative pursuits.Education
Matisse began studies in 1985 at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, but she dropped out after her first year. In 1990, she relocated to Paris and attended the École des Beaux-Arts, the same institution where her great-grandfather <mask> had studied. She also bought supplies at the same art-supply store where he had shopped. Matisse lived with her grandmother Teeny Duchamp in France for a time. Teeny, after divorcing <mask>, had married the French artist Marcel Duchamp (Duchamp died in 1968). Studies at the École des Beaux-Arts were not easy for <mask>; not only facing imposed expectations of being an art student in France named "Matisse", but also being an American lacking proficiency in reading and writing French. After three years <mask> was asked to leave.She did, however, meet the French artist Alain Jacquet while at École des Beaux-Arts, whom she married in 1992. Early career
In 1996, <mask> moved to New York City, setting up her studio in

 Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, and soon began exhibiting her artwork. The artist's 1997 painting Monna Lisa (Be Back in Five Minutes) initiated art world interest which furthered her career. In the painting, <mask> replicated the background setting of Leonardo da Vinci's original, but omitted the eponymous subject Mona Lisa from the scene. It was the first of what became her signature Be Back in 5 Minutes series. The Be Back in Five Minutes series gave <mask> her first widespread exposure as an artist, in her own right, and informed her work for years thereafter. In those paintings, <mask> reproduced the recognizable settings of famous paintings, always omitting the figures; as if the models had "stepped out for the moment".Famous works of Vermeer also figured prominently in other early entries to the series; Young Woman with a Water Pitcher, The Art of Painting, and Girl with a Pearl Earring  were all reinterpreted by <mask> in the late 1990s, minus the figures portrayed by Vermeer. Exhibitions
Although she had previously participated in group exhibitions in New York and elsewhere, <mask>'s first solo exhibition opened in January 2002, at the gallery which continued to represent her in New York, Francis Naumann Fine Art. It was the gallery's first exhibition of Contemporary art. <mask>'s Monna Lisa (Be Back in Five Minutes) was featured in this first exhibition along with over twenty others of the artist's absentee paintings. Among American artworks from which <mask> "removed" the occupants are Grant Wood's American Gothic, in which the pitchfork is left standing alone in the foreground, and Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, in which the diner is replicated devoid of customers and staff. Both of these were painted in 2001. The artwork of <mask> is also among those reinterpreted.Goldfish reproduces the scene as originally portrayed by

 him, minus the goldfish. The Conversation leaves an empty chair by the window. Artwork from this series was also assembled for an exhibition titled "Once Removed" at the upstate New York Katonah Museum of Art in the summer of 2005. <mask>'s reinterpretation of Guernica
In 2003, <mask> added Pablo Picasso's Guernica to the number of paintings she reinterpreted. This time, <mask> opted to "colorize" Picasso's monochromatic "anti-war testament" — a painting to which she had never actually stood "face to face". Despite her great-grandfather and Picasso's "rocky relationship". <mask> followed her own color sensibilities, as opposed to mimicking those of her great-grandfather.<mask> used Guerra Paint acrylics and painted on canvas, testing color combinations by first painting many small sketches. She kept true to the impact of Picasso's original by painting it large-scale, approximately . Her efforts yielded several paintings and various drawings, which culminated in her Sophie Matisse Does Guernica exhibition, early in 2003 in New York. One piece, 911 Guernica, uses Guernica as the motif to convey her own first hand experiences witnessing the terrorist attack on New York's Twin Towers from her neighborhood near the site. <mask>'s Guernica exhibition was scheduled to coincide with the Museum of Modern Art's dual survey exhibiting the works of both Picasso and <mask>. The artist and her "Be Back in 5 minutes" series faced as much opposition as they did praise, with some critics deriding her "coloring-in" of Picasso by comparing it with the colorization of black and white movies. Art critic Arthur Danto said <mask>'s work "demonstrates why Picasso was right to use black and white and gray, and why <mask> was exactly right never to have attempted to depict violence".<mask> in 2003 also participated in a project coordinated by Dodie Kazanjian

 for Vogue magazine. "Self Portraits: A Vogue Portfolio" appeared in print as a ten-page feature in the December 2003, issue of the magazine. As the title suggests, each artist submitted a "self-portrait". <mask> was featured among other female artists of her generation such as Kiki Smith. <mask>'s contribution was a "Be Back in 5 Minutes" interpretation of Gustave Courbet's erotic painting The Origin of the World, this time removing the 19th century French painter's graphically portrayed nude model, leaving only the rumpled bedsheets. The completed artworks were exhibited at Deitch Projects SoHo gallery space at the time of publication. Zebra stripe paintings
<mask> began a new series of paintings in the Spring of 2004, which culminated in her third solo exhibition, the Zebra Stripe Paintings, debuting in New York in the latter months of 2005.<mask> once again appropriated historically significant artworks, this time superimposing her own imagery in the form of zebra stripes overlapping the originals. In these paintings, all acrylics and oil on canvas, the appropriated originals are somewhat obscured by the stripes, rendering them less readily identifiable, and the artist herself has joked that her dyslexia may have been helpful in creating these works. The series was compared to James Rosenquist's later works, juxtaposing and overlapping seemingly unrelated imagery. <mask> again appropriated one of her great-grandfather's artworks, this time overlaying his Blue Nude with her zebra stripes. Special projects
<mask> has provided artwork in collaboration with business interests and also in support of charitable causes. In 2008, She collaborated with Kilian Hennessy, heir to the Hennessy lineage of cognac makers, providing artwork for a line of fragrances. <mask> added her personal touch to fifty bottles of Kilian perfumes, hand-painting,

Additionally, <mask> collaborated with @byKilian in December 2009 on 15 hand-painted, Special Edition (Gold) perfume bottles, which were sold to key By Kilian clients. For an exhibition titled The Art of the Game coinciding with San Diego's Beyond the Border International Contemporary Art Fair of 2009, <mask> created five chess sets of her own design. She considered her participation "a tribute" to the game's presence within her family in general, and her upbringing personally. In 2010, <mask> participated in the New York installment of an international campaign produced by the non-profit group Sing For Hope. The project called for 60 pianos to be placed in specifically chosen public places around a chosen city, in this case New York City, each first hand-painted by participating artists and amateurs alike. The decorated pianos remained at their specified locations for two weeks in July 2010, with the instructions "Play me, I'm yours" clearly marked, and an attendant present to oversee and invite passersby.<mask> hand-painted four Kimball pianos, all of which had been donated for the cause, even painting the piano keys. Some, if not all, of <mask>'s four were displayed in the lobby of Avery Fisher Hall and Lincoln Center promenade. All 60 pianos were auctioned that fall. Matisse was represented by Francis Naumann Fine Art, LLC, in New York City. from 2003 to 2020. Matisse is now represented by the Baahng Gallery in New York City. Personal life
In 1992, when she was 27, Matisse married Pop artist Alain Jacquet, whom she had met during her years at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris.Jacquet similarly reworked classic artworks into his own creations, which have been described as "Pop subterfuge". The marriage

Pierre was the youngest child of 20th century painter <mask>, <mask>'s great-grandfather.<mask> died in 1954, aged 85, eleven years before <mask>'s birth. Family members expressed concern for <mask>'s future as an artist in her own right, and suggested she use her great grandmother, Amelie Pareyre as her family name to avoid constant comparison to <mask>. Only by incidentally noticing her family name on museum walls did <mask>, as a young child, come to consider that her great-grandfather may have been someone "exceptional". <mask>'s step-grandfather was the artist Marcel Duchamp, who reinterpreted Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa in his L.H.O.O.Q. by adding a mustache. Duchamp married <mask>'s grandmother Alexina "Teeny" <mask>, an American, in 1954 after she and <mask> had divorced. <mask> has cited Duchamp as an influence, once saying "his presence stopped me from getting too serious".Art writers have pointed to the "visual jokes" sometimes apparent in <mask>'s own work as a sign of Duchamp's influence.

He returned to London in 1984 to become press secretary to the Foreign Secretary, Sir Geoffrey Howe, a position which he occupied until 1988, when he went for a year to Harvard University's Centre for International Affairs as a Visiting Fellow. This was followed by five years at the British embassy in Washington as minister-commercial and deputy head of mission. He returned to London in 1994 to become Prime Minister John Major's press secretary and government spokesman.He was posted briefly to Germany as ambassador in 1997, but was transferred in the same year to Washington as Britain's ambassador to the United States. HM Ambassador to the United States

His final posting was as British Ambassador to the United States from 1997 until his retirement in 2003. <mask> gave evidence about his time in the role to the Iraq Inquiry in November 2009. The Press Complaints Commission (PCC)
<mask> was appointed chairman of the UK press's self-regulating body in March 2003. During his tenure from 2003 to 2009, <mask> introduced a number of reforms to enhance the profile, independence and credibility of the Commission. These included increasing the majority of independent Commissioners, introducing independent scrutiny of the PCC's internal processes and decision-making, instituting PCC "away-days" twice a year in the cities and towns of the UK and extending the PCC's remit to online editions of newspapers, including audio-visual material. This led to a significant increase in public use of the PCC, with complaints about the press rising from 2,630 in 2002 to 4,698 by the time <mask> retired as chairman.He was also responsible for developing the PCC's pre-publication activity, including its anti-harassment service, which proved highly effective in protecting people from the unwanted attention of media scrums. <mask>'s tenure coincided with the gaoling in 2007 of the News of the World reporter, Clive Goodman, and the enquiry agent, Glenn Mulcaire, for phone-hacking offences under
