UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 4234055 Expanded Biographical Narrative Jake Zeitlin was born on November 4, 1902, in Racine, Wisconsin and worked as a bookseller, poet and book reviewer in Ft. Worth, Texas before moving to Los Angeles in 1925. He began his career in bookselling when employed by Holmes Book Company and the book departments of the May Company and Bullock's before opening his first shop, designed by Lloyd Wright, in 1927. Wright designed a more elaborate shop in 1929 that became a meeting place for the city's intellectuals. In collaboration with his wife, Josephine Ver Brugge, Zeitlin moved his shop into a large red barn on La Cienega Blvd. in 1948, selling rare books, prints and paintings. He lectured widely on subjects related to rare books and the history of science, and was instrumental in bringing many collections to UCLA, including the Grunewald Graphic Arts Collection. He personally donated several manuscript collections to the Department of Special Collections before his passing in August 1987. Frieda Lawrence was born Frieda von Richthofen August 11, 1879 to Prussian Baron Friedrich von Richthofen and Anna Marquier von Richthofen, near Metz, Germany. David Herbert Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England, Sept. 11, 1885. In 1912 Frieda met Lawrence, then a student of her first husband. They eloped, and the Lawrences were married in July 1914. They traveled continuously for the next few years in France, Italy, Germany and Australia before settling at Kiowa Ranch near Taos, New Mexico. D.H. Lawrence was a novelist, essayist, and poet, best known for Lady Chatterley's lover (1928); his numerous publications include: Sons and Lovers (1913), Women in Love (1920), and The Plumed Serpent (1926). Lawrence died in France in 1930; after his death, Frieda traveled to Europe briefly before returning to the ranch in 1931 with her companion, Angelo Ravagli. Frieda and Ravagli married in 1950, and she died in New Mexico 1353 2 August 11, 1956. Scope and Content After D.H. Lawrence's death in 1930, his widow Frieda Lawrence made the financially necessary decision to sell the manuscripts that he left behind. In 1936, Galka Scheyer introduced Frieda Lawrence to Los Angeles book dealer Jake Zeitlin, and she agreed to make Zeitlin her exclusive agent. The financial and emotional negotiations for these papers between Frieda Lawrence, her partner Angelo Ravagli, and Jake Zeitlin are the central subjects of the correspondence. The collection also includes drafts and correspondence related to the sale catalog (written by Lawrence Clark Powell with an introduction by Aldous Huxley, and printed by Ward Ritchie with an M.F.K. Fisher frontispiece). Zeitlin's various appraisals, exhibition-related materials from the Los Angeles Public Library, and three photographs of Frieda Lawrence. Organization and Arrangement Arranged in the following series: 1. Correspondence (1933-1981). 2. Appraisals (1937-1954). 3. Exhibitions and catalogs (1937-1938). 4. Photographs (1955).

Für ein jüdisches Mädchen aus gutbürgerlichem Haus ist ihre Biographie überraschend. Ihr Weg führte sie bis in die USA, wo sie seit 1924 lebte und 1945 in Hollywood starb. Eine allgemeine Bekanntschaft erlangte sie nicht, wohl aber die „Blaue Vier“, die sie gemein- sam mit vier anerkannten Künstlern des Weimarer Bauhauses gründete: Paul Klee, Wassily Kand- insky, Lyonel Feininger und Alexej von Jawlensky. Anfangs hatte Emilie Scheyer eigene künstlerische Ambitionen. Im Alter von 16 Jahren hatte sie Deutschland verlassen, um in England, Frankreich, Belgien und der Schweiz Malerei, Bildhauerei und Musik zu studieren. In der Schweiz lernte sie 1916 Jawlensky kennen und beschloss, nicht mehr selbst künstlerisch tätig zu sein, sondern ihre Energie der Vermittlung und dem Verkauf sei- ner Werke zu widmen. Mit der Gründung der Künstlergruppe „Blaue Vier“ im Jahre 1924 wurde sie zur offiziellen Kunsthändlerin der „vier blauen Könige“, wie sie selbst „ihre“ Künstler nannte. Sie organisierte zahlreiche Ausstellungen und Lichtbildvorträge, unternahm Reisen durch Europa, die USA und Asien. Mit einer internationalen Tagung wollen die Bet Tfila – Forschungsstelle für jüdische Architektur und das Städtische Museum Braunschweig in Kooperation mit der Stadt Braunschweig diese bedeutende Tochter der Stadt in den Blickpunkt nehmen. Trotz der großen Bedeutung der von ihr vertretenen Künstler in der Kunstgeschichte des frühen 20.

ST. LOUIS PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART Paul Klee stated in 1902: "I want to do something very modest, to work out by myself a tiny formal motif, one that my pencil will be able to encompass without any technique..."'. Gradually he intensified his formal and expressive range, proceeding from the tested to the experimental, toward an ever deepening human awareness. Because of his intensive concentration upon each new beginning, categories fall by the wayside and efforts to divide Klee's work into stable groupings remain unconvincing. Even styl- istic continuities are elusive and not easily discernible. There is nothing in the develop- ment of his art that resembles, for example. Kandinsky's or Mondrian s evolution from a representational toward a non-objective mode. Nor is it possible to speak of "periods" in the sense in which this term has assumed validity with Picasso.

  • D. H. Lawrence's Political Philosophy As Expressed in His Novels
    RICE UNIVERSITY D. H. LAWRENCE'S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AS EXPRESSED IN HIS NOVELS BY GARY LEWIS TYERYAR A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director’s signatures Houston, Texas June, 1963 3 1 272 00675 0754 ABSTRACT As I have indicated in my title, the subject of this thesis is the political philosophy of D. H. Lawrence as expressed in his novels. X had originally intended to present a general, critical analysis of the political philosophy^ but as research progressed, it seemed necessary for me to discover exactly what political views Lawrence really held. Therefore, the thesis has become, to a very large extent, a presentation and an organization of the strictly factual material that I have found in Lawrence's novels. In order to be absolutely fair to Lawrence, I have presented this material, as often as possible, in Lawrence's words rather than my own* My concern has been with the facts, rather than with a criticism or an evaluation of the facts* The chief contribution that I have made is in extracting the facts, and organizing them. I have taken the liberty, however, of selecting novels which I consider characteristic of the man. They are: Sons and Lovers. The Rainbow* Women in Love. Aaron's Rod. Kangaroo. The Plumed Serpent. and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Apocalypse and"Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine" are also discussed. The facts have been organized into the following categories: The Genesis of Lawrence's Ideas, Lawrence's Anti-Capitalistic and Anti-Mechanization Views, Lawrence’s Anti-Democratic Leanings and his Attitude Toward War, The Communist and Fascist Questions, and Individual Liberty, Leadership and Power.

INGERSOLL As Marina Ragachewskaya has recently indicated in this journal, Lawrence’s interest in the art of dance has received renewed attention in the 2010s.1 The subject has been thought to have opened with two notable investigations:2 ‘D. H. Lawrence and the Dance’ (1992) by Mark Kinkead-Weekes and then ‘Music and Dance in D. H. Lawrence’ (1997) by Elgin W. Mellown, who apparently was unaware that Kinkead-Weekes had blazed the trail before him, since his article contains no mention of this earlier work.3 Another writer who missed Kinkead-Weekes’s article, with its endnote citations from Martin Green’s Mountain of Truth: The Counterculture Begins, Ascona, 1900‒1920, was Terri Ann Mester, whose interpretations of dance scenes in Lawrence’s fiction could have benefited from even a cursory reading of Green’s 1986 study.4 Mester cites Deborah Jowitt’s Time and the Dancing Image, but she does not explore Jowitt’s very brief commentary upon Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman, which might have provided her with yet another avenue of access to Green’s Mountain of Truth.5 To close this circle, Kinkead-Weekes then responded to Mester’s monograph in his keynote address at the 2003 International D.

Besides Dorothy, called "Doll" by her family, there were two older brothers, Oliver and Maurice, and a younger sister, Sylvia. The children were raised in a restrictive manner similar to other children of the Victorian era. They saw little of their parents, being largely left in the charge of a nanny and other servants. Once the boys were sent to school, a governess was retained for the girls. However, she was dismissed after a short time and the girls' education was left to their mother.
