texts: <mask> was a painter during the Dutch Golden Age. He was the first European artist to paint landscapes of the Americas after Dutch Brazil ended in 1636. His works were collected in The Netherlands, Europe, and Brazil, with the works showing an idealized vision of Dutch colonial rule. Biography <mask> was born in Haarlem and was the son of <mask>, a highly regarded glass painter. One of the most important architects of Dutch classicism was his elder brother. Before he went to Brazil, little was known of his life.

type: paraphrased

texts: landscape painters, such as Allart van Everdingen. Post won a commission at court through the connections of his older brother and was encouraged to travel abroad by John Maurice. Haarlem experienced an outbreak of the plague, so it might have been a good idea for him to go to Brazil. Post lived in Brazil from 1637 to 1644. He received 800 guilders for a landscape painting in the West Indies that was commissioned by Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange.He became an officer of the Haarlem Guild in 1656 and 1658 after returning to The Netherlands. The daughter of a professor from the Haarlem 'Latijnsche School' married him in 1650. He had two sons who died before he died, and one daughter who died shortly thereafter. The lack of dated paintings in the 1670s suggests that <mask> stopped painting Brazilian scenes ten years before his death. The last decade of <mask>'s life is shrouded in mystery due to the fact that he developed an alcohol problem. He was buried in the St. Bavochurch after he died in Haarlem. Approximately 140 paintings were produced by <mask>.It is possible to track the evolution of his work between 1637, the day he landed in Brazil, and 1669, the date of his last letter. The Post paintings he produced while in Brazil were vastly different from the ones he painted after leaving Brazil. While in Brazil, he produced many sketches and etchings, but only six paintings. Nassau presented the paintings to Louis XIV in 1679. His Brazilian works are very similar to the landscapes of his Haarlem peers in terms of composition, style, and

texts: technique. Post's landscapes were described as "the old bottle filled with new wine". Specific locations in Dutch Brazil are depicted in these works because of the representation of recognizable topography and buildings.Birds and other small animals can be seen in the foreground of the post. These may have been inspired by his companion. The skies are gray and heavy with rain, an aspect that is emphasized by the fact that they take up at least half the canvas. The subdued color scheme, especially when compared to his post-Brazilian production, lend them a somber almost reverential quality characteristic of Dutch tonal landscapes from the 1620s to the 1640s. His work undergoes a radical transformation after he returned to The Netherlands. <mask> may have evolved his work due to a change in popular style. When he was from Brazil, the more imaginary his paintings became as he incorporated bright colors and exotic elements.The Netherlands has paintings with bright colors and dark foliage. These works are very different from his early work. The landscapes are open and full of resources. They have evolved to show a more simplified view with green flora, blue skies, and brighter horizon. The difference in color is highlighted by the horizontal blues moving towards the middle distance. The disappearance of yellows may result in a breakdown of the green pigment, which results in a deep blue. <mask> increased the number of figures and incorporated more diversity into his work after returning to The Netherlands.He paints a large group of people

He made flipbooks based on Blair's walk cycles. One of his friends had a Super 8 camera that was used to shoot some of his earlier animation efforts.After hearing of a new character animation program at the California Institute of the Arts, <mask>er decided to follow his dream of becoming an animator. His mother encouraged him to take up a career in animation, and in 1975 he was the second student in the CalArts Character Animation program created by Jack Hannah and T. Hee.

He came across some video tapes from a new computer-graphics conference that showed some of the very beginnings of computer animation, which he experienced as a revelation. After working on Mickey's Christmas Carol, he was invited by his friends Jerry and Bill to see the first light cycle sequence for an upcoming film, featuring state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery.The studio used a multiplane camera to add depth to its animation. When he realized that computers could be used to make films with three-dimensional background where traditionally animated characters could interact to add a new level of visually stunning depth that had not been possible before, he realized that computers could be used to make films. Adding to animation had been a dream of his for a long time. He and Glen Keane talked about how great it would be to make an animated feature where the background was computer animated, and then he showed Glen the book The Brave Little Toaster by Thomas Disch, which he thought would be a good candidate for the film. The decision to do a short test film was based on the fact that Disney had considered making a feature based on the works of Maurice Sendak. After being satisfied with the result, the trio went on with the project, including Lasseter who went on to work with The Great Mouse Detective. In order to get the Where the Wild Things Are project going, Lasseter and his colleagues circumvented some of their superiors' toes.The project was canceled due to lack of perceived cost benefits for the mix of traditional and computer animation.

Alvy Ray Smith and Ed Catmull are two of the people that <mask>er made contact with in the computer industry. After being fired from Disney in 1983, <mask> visited a computer graphics conference at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, where he met and talked to Catmull again.The Brave Little Toaster had been put on hold. Since Hollywood studios usually lay off employees when they lack enough productions to keep them busy, Catmull assumed Lasseter was between projects. After being forced out of the only company he had ever wanted to work for, Lasseter couldn't tell Catmull that he had been fired. Smith was told by Catmull that <mask> was not working at Disney. Smith told Catmull to hire Lasseter immediately. The first computer animated short was created by Catmull and his colleagues and was meant to prove it was possible to do character animation on a computer. After his work on Where the Wild Things Are-test, <mask>er assumed hand-drawn characters in a computer-generated environment was the only way to go, but Catmull insisted it could be done.The title "Interface Designer" was given to him because Catmull was not allowed to hire animators. A lot of time was spent at Lucasfilm in the San Francisco Bay Area in the spring of 1984 where he worked with Catmull and his team of computer science researchers. The computer scientists were taught about film, animation, and art by the man who learned how to use their software. The short turned out to be more revolutionary than he had thought.

texts: From 5 October 1852 to 6 February 1872, the British philanthropist, temperance leader and campaigner for women's rights was styled Lady Isabella Somers-Cocks. She spoke at the first World's Woman's Christian Temperance Association convention in Boston in 1891. She was the first of three daughters of Charles and Virginia Pattle and was born in London. She was a niece of the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and a cousin of the writer Julia Stephen. A private education was given to Lady Isabella. She and her sister were co-heiresses to their father's third sister, Virginia, who died of diphtheria as a child. She contemplated becoming a nun in her youth.Lady Isabella married Lord <mask> on February 6, 1872, and became known as Lady <mask>. The match was perfect. Her husband was the second son of <mask>, 8th Duke of Beaufort, and as such stood to inherit almost nothing, unlike her. <mask> Augustus was born to the couple on 18 May 1874. The marriage failed because Lord <mask> was homosexual. The United Kingdom criminalized male homosexual acts at the time, but women were expected to watch out for their husband's infidelity. Lady <mask> made her husband's sexual orientation public when she separated from him and sued him for custody of their son.She was ostracised from society after winning the court case in 1878. The couple never divorced due to her strong religious inclinations, despite Lord <mask> leaving for Italy. Lady <mask> lived near her family home in Ledbury. Her father's death left her Eastnor Castle, estates in Gloucestershire and Surrey, properties in London and slums in the East End. She became a Methodist in the late 19th century. Lady <mask> was interested in the temperance movement after her friend committed suicide. She was elected president of the British Women's Temperance Association in 1890.She traveled to the United States and spoke at the first World's WCTA convention in Boston. She paid her extended visits to Britain several times after being elected vice-president of the organisation. The BWTA gained great political and social influence during Lady <mask>'s term as president.

She reconciled with the Church of England thanks to her friendship with Basil Wilberforce. Her critics said that she had too much influence on the BWTA.Lady <mask> did not deny that she intended to turn the BWTA into a women's suffragist movement. She edited the weekly British feminist magazine The Woman's Signal from 1894 to 1899. The president grew more ambitious as the organisation gained more members. She was in favor of allowing prostitution in parts of India to deal with the spread of sexually transmitted disease among British soldiers. She was isolated from the rest of the BWTA because of the view. In 1898, Lady <mask> had to change her mind after arguments with Josephine. Lady <mask> held the office of president of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Association until 1906, visiting the United States for the last time in 1903.She gave up her leadership of the BWTA because of her support for the public management of hotels. She was succeeded by Rosalind Howard. Lady <mask> stopped eating meat in 1905. She thought a vegetarian diet would cure the alcohol problem. She was a follower of the diet of Joseph Wallace. Lady <mask> devoted the rest of her life to the Colony for Women Inebriates, which she opened in 1895. She saw it as her most important task to rehabilitate alcoholics.After her release from prison, Kitty Byron lived in this home. Lady <mask> was voted the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom by the readers of London Evening News in 1913. During the First World War, her flat was damaged.

She and her sister lived in England from 1912 to 1914 and were exposed to paintings by Watteau in Berlin.After returning to Australia in 1914, she attended Dattilo Rubbo's painting classes. The Sock Knitter is Australia's first post-Impressionist painting. <mask> changed his name to <mask> in 1920. Her work was appreciated by two other artists. She exhibited with the Royal Art Society of New South Wales from 1915, the Society of Artists from 1919, and the Contemporary Group at Adrian Feint's Grosvenor Gallery from 1926 to 1928. Her painting is made up of individual, square brush strokes. Her most famous painting, The Lacquer Room, is arguably her most famous painting.A retrospective exhibition of her work toured Australia in 1973. One of Australia's most important artists of the twentieth century, <mask> <mask> was best known for her depiction of a Sydney cafeteria, paintings of the arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as it was being built, and her late indoor scenes of doorways and windows. The ordinary suburban home of her time is shown in many of her scenes. She painted important events such as the World Wars and the arrival of the Prince of Wales, which show a broader view of what was happening in Australia and the world at the time. She added cool colors to the shadows to give them a sense of energy. She used carefully placed brush strokes of brilliant colour side by side to build up small squares. She broke away from Australian Impressionism and was influenced by the European

She got a lot of criticism in the press, but she was very bold and she knew what she wanted. The first house that Cossington <mask> <mask> grew up in was in the suburb of Neutral Bay. They moved to 43 Ku-Ring-Gai Avenue, Turramurra, where she was to live most of her life. Cossington Hall is the original home of her mother.Cossington is in Turramurra. <mask> supported the war effort when he returned to Australia from a holiday in England. Her painting of her sister knitting socks for the war effort is considered to be the first post-impressionist painting in Australia. The painting shows a girl working away, knitting from a ball of yarn which sits delicately by her side. In the context of the war, it is a powerful picture of someone working on something small to help a bigger cause. A series of cartoons she drew were satirical and anti-German. She did not use the usual style in her work.A drawing of Belgian refugees fleeing the Germans at the start of the war was one of the works of the time. The city of Sydney was painted by <mask> <mask>. She was somewhat embarrassed with drawing in public, but she went to the city often to sketch. <mask> went to the city to record the event when the Prince of Wales was there. She did sketches of the buildings around where she was standing, but relied on memory to record the moment when he passed by, because she didn't have time to record what would have taken only a few seconds. The painting accurately depicts the scene of the prince being driven through the street in front of a large crowd of people. When Australia was still part of the British Empire, Australians gave a warm reception to the British royalty.She followed this painting with other paintings based on sketches done in Sydney city, of crowds of people rushing past in Rushing, almost

A less hurried crowd is shown in Crowd, which shows a massive crowd, almost all of them wearing hats, reflecting the fashion of the time. Turramurra paintings by Cossington <mask> show the development of the northern suburbs. Streets were often shown going up and down hills. Her landscapes were often based around a road. There are many dips and bends in the road depicted in her painting, Eastern Road, Turramurra.The lifestyle of the people in this picture can be seen in the fact that the houses are more on plots than in suburban yards, with trees only on the side of the road. The painting appears to show a view of a country town or a village, rather than a city. The works look similar to works by other artists at the time. One of the first artists to bring Modernism to Australia was <mask> <mask>. She painted The Sock Knitter in 1915. It was the first post-impressionist painting to be exhibited in Australia. <mask> <mask> studied in Australia and England and her work was influenced by the paintings of Europe, she shared the Modernist concerns about painting, including: investigating colour theory, playing with the picture plane, and the use of expressive brush strokes.The aesthetic concerns of European painters such as Cézanne, Matisse and van Gogh are said to be behind the use of bright, broken colour in The Sock Knitter. The common interests of international contemporary painters were reflected in some of her paintings. The paintings show objects being broken down into forms based on their colors similar to Cézanne, and have a Cubist manipulation of some of the imagery. Her House With Trees, 1935, shows houses in pink with unnatural blues for some of the bushes surrounding them. The perspective lines of the actual house are distorted as well as the realist colors.

The bright colors reflect the modern style. The painting has no shadow and the walls are glowing with light and colour. The painting seems modern, from the trendy green table tops to the bright colors on the chairs and on the walls. There are two yellow modern style lamps on the wall. The customers wear fur coats with stylish hats, giving an impression that this is a place for respectable, middle-class people. The waitresses wear a bright green colour.The chairs reflect a new modern world of manufactured objects, rather than traditional wooden furniture. Daffodils, hippeastrums and waratahs were included in <mask>'s paintings. She painted a work of a dog sleeping in purple and orange, but the actual name of the dog was Rex. She painted some of the best paintings of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at the turn of the century, when it was a symbol of what the people of Australia were capable of. She concentrated more on painting the pylons in her earlier paintings of the bridge to hide the fact that she painted the bridge before the work on the arms started. She did not paint the bridge after it was done because she liked the tension between the two sides. The Bridge in Curve was rejected from the Society of Artists exhibition in 1930, but is now considered one of Australia's best modern paintings.The construction work continues, with cranes on both sides of the bridge. Her ability to capture a scene in a photo- realistic manner is shown in her drawing for the painting. The title suggests that the focus is more on the ship in the foreground than on the bridge.

Between 1912 and 1914, she traveled to England with her sister. <mask> experienced a world different from her own, yet in her paintings gave it her own unique style. She became very interested in English architecture on the second trip and took many photos of indoor doorways and scenes of rooms inside houses. sketchbooks can give more insight into the details of the artist's everyday life because they are more loose and personal than larger paintings. She exhibited ten room paintings in her solo exhibition in 1947.There is an accurate depiction of her house with a large window and a door opening to the outside on the other side of the bed in her large oil painting. The first of her larger room interior paintings features yellow in the coloring. In Interior with wardrobe mirror, the viewer is given a view of the yard outside the house from the reflection in the glass, which is opened at a 45 degree angle. The doors cutting into the composition gives it an energetic feel. She used a unique style of squarish paint applied on the canvas, in colors which were varied but which tended towards the yellow end of the spectrum. Many of her room interior paintings show the same room from different angles, or even multiple views from a slightly different or the same angle. In some paintings a door or window is the main focus, while in others the viewer is shown the entire room.She said that Cézanne was a more important influence on her than Pierre Bonnard's work. She used her multi-coloured brush strokes in her still lives, as well as in her interior views. <mask>'s later still lifes explore the use of different colors to give a unifying feel.

In a September 1991 column, Larry Guest wrote that "civic and business leaders in Grand Rapids considered DeVos to beadmirable, amicable, compassionate, honorable, community-conscious, intelligent", but that they wondered if he was about to start running the Magic. The guest said that he had "recently attracted more than a million votes, more than any other Republican on a statewide basis, to win a seat on Michigan's Board of Education." In making business decisions, he hopes to be seen as tough, but also fair. I expect results and detailed management, but I'm not a control-oriented individual. In January 1993 Alticor left his position as president and CEO of the Magic to become the president of Amway, succeeding his father, Rich. The firm expanded operations to more than 50 countries and territories on six continents.A major corporate restructuring in 2000 created the new parent company of Amway, as well as other subsidiary companies. In a 20-month period, Alticor cut over 1,300 jobs, with 400 of them being buyouts and early retirement. Job cuts were made during the restructuring of the company in order to speed up the return to profitability and prevent further downsizing. They are credited with taking the company global and setting industry standards as they moved into those markets. The president of Alticor retired in 2002. In that fiscal year, the company had sales of $4.5 billion through its more than 3.5 million part-time sales force and its e-commerce channel. The Windquest Group was founded by <mask> after he retired from Alticor.The Windquest Group is an investment management firm with holdings in technology, manufacturing, and other sectors. A 2010 article reported on a Windquest venture called The Green Machine, which converts waste heat that's the byproduct of a manufacturing process - in liquid or gaseous form - into electricity.

The Education Freedom Fund was co-chaired by <mask> and his wife.Low-income families in Michigan can get private scholarships from the Fund to attend schools of their choice.

He said that he would have made the state more business friendly if he had been in Granholm's place. "Granholm has talked about wanting business, but all of her actions and the actions of all the regulatory agencies and government agencies in this state have continued to create difficulties for business," he said. I hear it from business people all the time. During the campaign, she said it was all about jobs. The number one issue in Michigan is jobs. Our state doesn't have a good climate for job creation.The SBT punishes job makers for creating jobs, providing their employees with benefits, and investing in new technology. Michigan's personal property tax hurts manufacturers more than any other tax. If we want to help manufacturing and bring jobs back to Michigan, they have to go. He spoke of the need to work on trade issues to make sure that Detroit's automakers can compete fairly both here in the United States and around the world. On June 21, 2006 Thomas Bray of RealClearPolitics reported on a Detroit News/WXYZ-TV poll that showed <mask> surging to a 48-40 lead. In other polls, the two candidates were in a dead heat, and, to some observers' surprise, <mask> was leading among union households. The ads are striking home with their message, that the Michigan economy is in a shambles, that Granholm has failed to develop a strategy to resurrect the state, and that a hard-nosed businessman who owes nothing to anybody is just the guy to sort things out.An October 2006 article in Human Events argued that the Michigan governor's race was shaping up as a classic style vs substance confrontation, with Granholm, a charismatic and attractive former aspiring actress who can deliver a speech and charm a crowd with the best of them. The state's most vexing economic issues should be addressed by <mask>'s business background. The least business-friendly state in the country was the topic of the article.

The November 3, 2006 article stated that the plan for turning around Michigan's economy was called the TurnAround Plan. It called for action on four fronts: creating an attractive job climate, overhauling state government, diversifying the economy, and conquering the international marketplace. "I've made tough decisions, I've turned around a struggling business, and I've helped an entire city turn around," he said.He called for an increase in funding for secondary and higher education, for a streamlined health-care system that uses technology to reduce hospital errors, and for strong anti-crime measures. The debate did not help either candidate, though they did have an effect on the polls, with support for both candidates dropping and the number of undecided voters increasing. Neither candidate has found a way to gain an advantage, whether it has been Granholm's campaign morphing images of <mask> into President Bush, or <mask>' ads including compromising footage of the governor's speeches. The article pointed out that the Detroit Free Press and The Grand Rapids Press supported the same party. Lee Iacocca had been campaigning for him. He was endorsed by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Farm Bureau. On November 7, 2006 <mask> was defeated by Granholm by a 14-point margin.He called Granholm after the results were in. Granholm said she "admired his tenacity and his passion for Michigan". According to a CBS reporter, the performance in the debate was a factor in the loss.

In a December 2012 article in The New York Times, Nicholas Confessore and Monica Davey reported that after President Obama's re-election, <mask> "began calling up state lawmakers in Lansing, telling them that it was time to pass a right-to-work law." The lawmakers were told by Mr. <mask> that he would be there to help.The legislation was quickly approved and delivered a body blow to the labor movement. The Michigan GOP received at least $1 million from the Devos family in 2012 in order to defeat a pro-union amendment in the state's constitution. The Michigan Freedom Fund was formed after the defeat to promote a right-to-work law. The Michigan right-to-work campaign had "gathered momentum" thanks to the involvement of <mask> and Weiser, according to a December 2012 article. The wealthy businessman and political guru both worked to convince wavering Republican lawmakers that they would have financial support if they faced recall elections over right-to-work.

He praised Michigan's business community, legislators, and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy for their role in the legislation's passage, as well as noting that it was important to propose the legislation at the right time.

An account of the Grand Action project explains that while authorities in Detroit kept starting one master project after another that was supposed to solve that city's problems, Grand Rapids was different because its business leaders painstakingly set goals aligned with government officials. The effort was led by DeVos. In 1991, heconvened a group of more than 50 community and civic leaders to begin the process of revitalizing downtown. Plans were made for an entertainment and sports arena. DeVos worked with two local bankers to set the plan in motion after conducting a feasibility and economic-impact analysis.A new sports arena, a new convention center, and a new J.W. were some of the fruits of this effort. The Marriott Hotel, the renovation of the Civic Theater, a new art museum, and a new civic gardens and sculpture park are some of the things that have been renovated.
