  • History of the Museum
    HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM The Timken Museum of Art owes its existence to the combined efforts and generosity of two families: the prominent Timken family from Canton, Ohio, and Anne and Amy Putnam who arrived in San Diego with their family in the early 1900s. HENRY H. TIMKEN Henry H. Timken built a home in San Diego in 1887. It still stands today at the corner of First and Laurel. Timken exemplified the 19th-century American entrepreneur. He was an immigrant who built a great fortune based on hard work and inventiveness. Timken was born on a farm near Bremen, Germany, in 1831. He was only seven years old when his family left Germany for America and settled on a farm in Benton County, Missouri. As a teenager, he became an apprentice to a carriage and wagon maker in St. Louis. By the time he was 24, he was operating his own carriage shop. He later joined his father- in-law in a carriage building business in Belleville, Illinois. His industrial career was interrupted by the Gold Rush and the Civil War. He searched for gold in Colorado and enlisted in the Army (he was mustered out by the time he was serving as a Captain in the 13th Union Regiment). Returning to St. Louis, Timken established his own carriage factory. In 1877, he converted the factory to make the "Timken Buggy Spring" – a device that made a carriage ride smoother. Timken’s real legacy to industrial America was an invention that helped revolutionize transportation. His invention was a tapered roller bearing.

  • Keeping Balboa Park Magnificent in Its Second Century
    Prepared by The Trust for Public Land Center for City Park Excellence Washington, D.C. August 2006 Keeping Balboa Park Magnificent In its Second Century A Look at Management, Fundraising, and Private Partnerships at Five Other Major U.S. City Parks Balboa Park, San Diego. Photos Courtesy of Balboapark.org Introduction Covering 1,200 acres, containing an amazing 85 cultural, conservation and recreation organizations within its boundaries, and attracting upwards of 13 million visitors a year, San Diego’s Balboa Park ranks as one of the very most significant urban parks in America. Nevertheless, looking beyond the flamboyant Spanish architecture, exotic flora and man- icured lawn bowling fields, a park is revealed that is facing huge challenges, including hundreds of millions of dollars of repairs, a crisis of invasive plant species, unresolved issues about automobiles, large areas of contaminated land, a population of homeless per- sons, erosion, conflicts between user groups and - worst - an inability to keep up with day-to-day park maintenance. In order to help determine the best possible model for successfully and sustainably oper- ating a park as large and complex as Balboa, the Legler Benbough Foundation commis- sioned the Center for City Park Excellence (CCPE) to produce a short study of public- private partnerships operating in four other major cities: New York, St. Louis, Houston and Atlanta. Following a summary discussion of Balboa Park, the report describes the private support structures developed for Central Park and Prospect Park in New York, Forest Park in St. Louis, Piedmont Park in Atlanta and Hermann Park in Houston.

  • The Case of Guercino
    arts Article Marketing and Self-Promotion in Early Modern Painting: The Case of Guercino Daniel M. Unger The Department of the Arts, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva 8410501, Israel; [email protected] Abstract: This article focuses on Guercino’s Return of the Prodigal Son, commissioned in the name of Cardinal Alessandro Ludovisi and on his marketing choices. This is a case study in terms of self- promotion tactics employed by an ambitious artist. My argument is that one finds in the painting a secondary and more sophisticated level of interpretation, which relates to the relationship between the painter and his patron. To the most traditional iconography of the scene, Guercino added musicians and spectators, thus positioning the entire composition in the theatre. One of the musicians is depicted in a way that casts him as a representative of the painter. The patron understood Guercino’s intentions and commissioned what became Guercino’s most important artworks. It was Guercino’s ability of shifting the attention of a given iconography and deliver current political meaning that is discernible in his Roman works commissioned by the same Cardinal Ludovisi who was elected Pope Gregory XV. Keywords: Guercino; Gregory XV; prodigal son; early modern theatre; self-presentation 1. Introduction Citation: Unger, Daniel M. 2021. Today we may confidently assert the extent to which Guercino’s career was impacted Marketing and Self-Promotion in by Pope Gregory XV (Alessandro Ludovisi 1554–1623).

For the project, impacts related to land use, historical resources, visual effects and neighborhood character, and noise would remain significant unavoidable effects of project development. Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.12 of this EIR provide more detail about the nature and extent of impacts related to the project. All other significant impacts identified in Section 4, Environmental Analysis, of this EIR as resulting from project implementation can be reduced to below a level of significance with the mitigation measures identified in Section 4 and in the MMRP contained within Section 10 of this EIR. 5.2 Irreversible Environmental Changes Which Would Result if the Project Is Implemented In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2 (c): Uses of nonrenewable resources during the initial and continued phases of the project may be irreversible since a large commitment of such resources makes removal or nonuse thereafter unlikely.
