  • Documentary Introduction to the Ángel Ramos and Tina Hills Donation for a Young Institution Like the Museo De Arte De Puerto Ri
    Documentary Introduction to the Ángel Ramos and Tina Hills Donation For a young institution like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), the bequest of thirty artworks donated by Ángel Ramos and Tina Hills represents both a responsibility and a commitment, a commitment that binds the Museum to continue the visionary, nation-building work done by these two exemplary philanthropists for so many years. Ángel Ramos was a pioneer of modern media communications in Puerto Rico. From a family of few resources and little formal education, he began as a proofreader and layout man at El Mundo newspaper and went on to hold several management positions until, in 1946, he became its editor and owner. His professional career almost literally skyrocketed. Along the way he created publications such as Puerto Rico Ilustrado and Puerto Rico World Journal, owned radio stations, and pioneered television in Puerto Rico. To these accomplishments he added the creation of the Ángel Ramos Foundation in 1958, a philanthropic organization unparalleled in the history of Puerto Rico. Ángel Ramos was also a person of great aesthetic sensitivity, which led him to become a patron of outstanding artists and an exemplary collector. Tina (Argentina S.) Hills took on the responsibilities of the El Mundo family of businesses on the death of her husband, Ángel Ramos, and in 1966 she achieved his dream of completing the establishment of the Foundation that bears his name. Today, after a long career in newspapers, radio, television, and philanthropy, she is the president of the Ángel Ramos Foundation and has also continued, with untiring enthusiasm, to collect works of art from Puerto Rico and abroad.

Milton Avery Crucifixion, 1946 Oil on canvas Signed, titled, and dated in oil 44 x 34 in. Est. US$500,000−700,000 New York / Berlin / Paris, July 17, 2012—artnet Auctions presents the Fine Modern Art sale, a selection of over 30 important 20th century works by luminaries such as Milton Avery, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Angel Botello, Raoul Dufy, Jean Dubuffet, Pablo Picasso, and Henry Moore. Featured in the sale is Crucifixion (est. US$500,000–700,000), an oil on canvas by the American Modern master Milton Avery. The work was completed during a painting trip Avery took to Mexico in 1946. During his time in Mexico, he visited Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907–1954) and Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886–1957), among other notable artists, and was inspired by the colors and shapes of the country’s landscape. Focusing on simple compositions and the profound role of object placement, these canvases were “infused with a great deal of poetry,” according to Avery’s wife Sally, who accompanied him on the trip. Crucifixion is a masterful example of Avery’s work at what is perhaps the most interesting stylistic stage of his career.

  • The Parthenon: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
    The Parthenon: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow The Parthenon: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Luke Howard Judkins Abstract One of the world’s most beautiful and iconic structures, the Parthenon, the temple of the Virgin goddess Athena, boldly displays the culmination of culture and civilization upon the Acropolis in Athens, Greece and in Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee. I have attempted to research the history, architecture, and sculpture of the magnificent marble edifice by analyzing the key themes and elements that compose the great work: culture, civilization, and rebirth. Using a musical sonata form to display my research, I wished to convey a digestible analysis of how the Parthenon and its connotations transcend time through rebirth in Nashville, Tennessee. Known as the “Athens of the South,” Nashville continues the culture displayed in Ancient Greece and symbolizes this through the city’s scale replication of the Parthenon within Centennial Park. In the first century A.D., Plutarch wrote Greek history so that the Greeks could recall the history that was gradually fading from their memories. As Plutarch did with his readers, I am attempting to re-educate Nashvillians, as well as the world, about the rich history and inheritance of the Athenian culture within ourselves. Middle Tennessee State University 71 Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research Introduction n various ways, every world civilization has attempted to explore Iand improve the quality of life, promote communal well-being, and further the education and the creative abilities of its people. One of the most successful civilizations in these endeavors was that of the ancient Greeks.

  • A History of Tennessee.Indd
    352 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 353 SECTION VI Tennessee 354 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 355 A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. For all but the last 200 years of the 12,000 years or so that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabit- ants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for her ancient people as well as for later pioneer settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often moun- tainous, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee with its foothills and basin, and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Cen- tral Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley.
