He had to work in Bridlington, East Yorkshire. The object of our pilgrimage was the Doge’s Palace, Venice. But it has little in common with an furiously over a six-week period in order to capture not this nondescript structure but the painting that was briefly ordinary, easel-sized canvas into which one looks as if into a the bare branches before they started to bloom. ‘I love hung within it. There on the far wall was the largest picture window. So enormous is this picture that the experience of looking at trees in winter,’ David Hockney has ever created – and perhaps the most sizable looking at it is like standing in front of a real tree.

  • Round 06 - Tossups
    NASAT 2015 - Round 06 - Tossups 1. The change in this quantity multiplies i in the exponential of the integral giving the atomic form factor. Einstein suggested that the change in this quantity for the far screen would determine which slit a photon passes through. The "transfer" of this quantity, symbolized q, is a common term in scattering experiments. This quantity, divided by h-bar, gives the wavevector. The commutator of this quantity with x is i times h-bar. The energy of a photon equals the speed of light times this quantity. The Hamiltonian of a particle in a box is the square of its operator, over twice the mass. The de Broglie wavelength is Planck's constant over this quantity. For 10 points, name this quantity which, classically, equals mass times velocity. ANSWER: linear momentum <Silverman> 2. In the first scene of this play, a woman inquires of a messenger, "how many hath he killed? for indeed I promised to eat all of his killing." A man in this play regrets that his friend would now rather hear "the tabour and the pipe" than "the drum and the fife." In a climactic confrontation in this play, a man exclaims, "Is this the prince? Is this the prince's brother?...Are our eyes our own?" Women are told to convert all their "sounds of woe into hey nonny nonny" in a song in this play urging them to "sigh no more." In this play, Borachio and Margaret become part of a scheme by Don John that leads to the faked death of Hero, who is in love with Claudio.

  • York Museums Trust Performance Report: October 2010 – March 2011
    York Museums Trust Performance Report: October 2010 – March 2011 Executive Summary 1. York Museums Trust has continued to grow visitor numbers and invest in the collections and buildings, which are owned by the city of York, and managed by YMT on the city’s behalf. We have developed great partnerships within the city and region, and play an important role in promoting the city as a tourism destination. We add value to the residents of York through our learning programmes, exhibitions and displays, venues and events and our improvement in the Museum Gardens are visible and accessible to everyone. An important part of our work is to bring new funding into the museums so that we can continually improve the visitor experience. The continuing support of the City of York Council is crucial in our credibility with business and trusts and foundations. 2. York Museums Trust is currently progressing with two major capital developments, at York Art Gallery and at York Castle Museum. We have long recognised that the key to YMT’s financial future is the continually popular York Castle Museum, and the reason this remains so popular is that we try to refresh the visitor offer every year so that it remains a ‘must see’ attraction. The highlight for most visitors to the Castle Museum is Kirkgate, the recreated Victorian street. We have refreshed this over the years, and we feel now is the time to extend the street, and introduce visitors to ‘real’ people who tell us more about life in the Victorian age. This is involving public consultation and partnership working with the Rowntree Society, the two universities and many more local interest groups.

  • Fall Open 2019 Written by Itamar Naveh-Benjamin, Jason Golfinos, Aseem Keyal, Jonathen Settle, Kenji Shimizu, Klaus Llwynog, Jack Mehr, Samir Khan, and Nick Collins
    Fall Open 2019 Written by Itamar Naveh-Benjamin, Jason Golfinos, Aseem Keyal, Jonathen Settle, Kenji Shimizu, Klaus Llwynog, Jack Mehr, Samir Khan, and Nick Collins Tossups 1. The veracity of a poem written no more than ten years after this battle is supported by its accurate casualty lists, according to the second appendix of a “concise history” by Charles Ross. The proliferation of literary ballads in the aftermath of this battle is examined in an A. L. Rowse book titled for it and the war in which it took place. Geoffrey Elton argued that this battle wasn’t waged on account of its victor’s ancestral heritage. A well from which this battle’s loser drank water was maintained by the “Fellowship of the (*) White Boar.” This battle, which was initially named for the “field of Redemore (“read-more”),” has been pinpointed by scholars to a site two miles southwest of Ambion Hill. This battle broke out two weeks after its losing army docked at the Welsh port of Milford Haven. In 2012, the remains of this battle’s most famous casualty were uncovered beneath the car park of Greyfriars Church. For 10 points, the Wars of the Roses ended with Richard III’s death at what battle? ANSWER: Battle of Bosworth Field <INB, European History (Commonwealth, Ancient, Historiography)> 2. Dmitri Shostakovich’s first piece in this genre begins with a fast descending C major scale, which lands on an unexpected D-flat. In Shostakovich’s second piece in this genre, a C minor Andante second movement leads attacca into a Presto third movement that alternates 2/4 time and 7/8 time.

    THE DAVID HOCKNEY SUMO A Bigger Book, TASCHEN’s SUMO-sized David Hockney monograph, is as spectacular in format as it is in scope. In it, the artist takes stock of more than 60 years of work, from his teenage days at the Bradford School of Art, through his breakthrough in 1960s Swinging London, life by Los Angeles pools in the 1970s, up to his recent extensive series of portraits, iPad drawings, and Yorkshire landscapes. Never before has Hockney’s oeuvre been published on such an astonishing and immersive scale. As each page unfurls in a blaze of blues, pinks, greens, and oranges, we are spellbound both by the artist’s vibrancy as a colorist and his extraordinary sense of the conditions of the world that surrounds us. Through Hockney’s restless interrogation of perception and representation, we witness the mellow sheen of light on a muddy Yorkshire puddle, the ochre enormities of A Bigger Grand Canyon, the rustic majesty of Bigger Trees near Warter, and, of course, A Bigger Splash, with the exquisite sparkle of a turquoise pool beneath an iridescent California sky. These major paintings are joined by the artist’s drawings, photo-composites, multi-perspective collages, stage designs, multi-camera video works, and iPad drawings, each a panoply of looking and showing in different styles and media.

  • David Hockney'in Sanatinda Ana Başliklar Main Topics In
    Trakya Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi 125 Aralık 2014 Cilt: 16 Sayı: 2 (125-136) DAVID HOCKNEY’İN SANATINDA ANA BAŞLIKLAR Baybora Temel* ÖZET Bu makalede, İngiliz sanatçı David Hockney’in, batı resim sanatının son 50 yıllık süreci içerisinde ürettiği, resimleri incelenerek, teknik, konu ve özgünlük açılarından değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bilindiği gibi Hockney, 1960’lar Pop sanatının önemli isimlerinden birisi olarak kabul edilir. 1962’de Royal College of Art’tan üstün başarı ve altın madalya ile mezun olan sanatçı, ardından Los Angeles’a bir ziyarette bulunmuş ve sonrasında Londra ve bu şehir arasında gidip gelmeye başlamıştır.

    David Hockney: A Chronology Edith Devaney 1937 David Hockney was born on 9 July in Bradford, Yorkshire, the fourth of fi ve children (fig. 51), into what he describes as a ‘radical working-class family’.1 His father, Kenneth, was an accountant’s clerk and his mother, Laura, a strict Methodist, came from a family of Yorkshire agricultural labourers, whose genealogy Hockney has recently researched. Both parents were determined to provide as good an education as possible for their children, and in 1948 David won a scholarship to Bradford Grammar School, following in the footsteps of his eldest brother Paul. Kenneth Hockney was well known for his rather eccentric behaviour. He was a passionate CND supporter and campaigner against smoking. His interest in theatrical performances, art and drawing, as well as the value he placed on individualism, all had a strong infl uence on the young Hockney. Laura Hockney was loving, yet exerted a strong infl uence on the family. As her only unmarried son, David remained very close to her until her death in 1999 at the age of 98. His father (fig. 52) died in 1978. 1948–53 Fig. 51 Having decided that he wanted to pursue a career as an artist by the time he The Hockney children (from left to right): reached Bradford Grammar School, Hockney was disappointed by the lack of Philip, Margaret, David, John and Paul focus on art in the curriculum and the concentration on more academic subjects. Despite a determination to apply himself to his only area of interest, his natural intelligence enabled him to pass the majority of his Ordinary Level examinations.
