  • THIERRY NOIR Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles October 2014 to December 2014
    THE LA RETROSPECTIVE: THIERRY NOIR Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles October 2014 to December 2014 From 11th October 2014, Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles presents a retrospective of the life and work of infamous Berlin Wall artist Thierry Noir. In 1984, Noir was the first artist to illegally paint mile upon mile of the Berlin Wall. Noir wanted to perform one real revolutionary act: to paint the Wall, to transform it, to make it ridiculous, and ultimately to help destroy it. Noir’s iconic, bright and seemingly innocent works painted on this deadly border symbolised a sole act of defiance and a lone voice of freedom. In this landmark exhibition for Howard Griffin Gallery in Los Angeles, the artist’s first US solo exhibition, original works will be exhibited alongside rarely seen photographs, interviews and films, juxtaposing old and new to reassess Noir’s enduring legacy and contribution to society. The event also marks another first as the inaugural Los Angeles exhibition for Howard Griffin Gallery. A number of artists, musicians and free thinkers settled in West Berlin during the 1980s despite the difficulties of the time. Within a group which included David Bowie and Iggy Pop, was a rebellious young French artist called Thierry Noir. Thierry Noir was born in 1958 in and his monsters are a metaphor for the wall itself, Lyon, France and moved to Berlin in 1982 with one each one relating to his experiences or feelings of what suitcase. By chance he settled in a squat overlooking the he calls a ‘killing machine’. His enormous murals in Wall at the border of East and West Berlin.

Galenson Volume Publisher: Cambridge University Press Volume ISBN: 978-0-521-11232-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/gale08-1 Publication Date: October 2009 Title: The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century Author: David W. Galenson URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5785 Chapter 2: The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century Introduction The masters, truth to tell, are judged as much by their influence as by their works. Emile Zola, 18841 Important artists are innovators: they are important because they change the way their successors work. The more widespread, and the more profound, the changes due to the work of any artist, the greater is the importance of that artist. Recognizing the source of artistic importance points to a method of measuring it. Surveys of art history are narratives of the contributions of individual artists. These narratives describe and explain the changes that have occurred over time in artists’ practices. It follows that the importance of an artist can be measured by the attention devoted to his work in these narratives. The most important artists, whose contributions fundamentally change the course of their discipline, cannot be omitted from any such narrative, and their innovations must be analyzed at length; less important artists can either be included or excluded, depending on the length of the specific narrative treatment and the tastes of the author, and if they are included their contributions can be treated more summarily.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

    Magazyn nr 6 / 2020 Pawilon Wystawowy SARP, Warszawa * Fritz Kuhr, 1928; student w Bauhausie 1923–27, asystent w pracowni malarstwa ściennego 1928–29, nauczyciel rysunku 1929–1930 w Bauhausie CAŁY ŚWIAT TO BAUHAUS* W programie uczelni Bauhaus w Weimarze z 1921 roku Walter Gropius wysunął postulat sztuki totalnej (Gesamtkunstwerk): „Bauhaus dąży do połączenia całej twór- czości artystycznej w jedność, do ponownego zjednoczenia wszystkich dyscyplin sztuki użyt- kowej – rzeźbiarstwa, malarstwa, rzemiosła i rzemiosła artystycznego – w jedną, nową architekturę, której te dyscypliny będą stanowić nieodłączne części. Ostateczny, choć odległy cel Bauhausu to jednolite dzieło sztuki – wielkie budownictwo – w którym nie będzie już granic między sztuką monumen- talną a ozdobną. (…) Celem Bauhausu jest kształcenie architektów, malarzy, rzeźbiarzy wszelkiego rodzaju, zależnie od ich umie- jętności, na solidnych rzemieślników lub samodzielnych artystów. Stworzenie miejsca umożliwiającego wspólną pracę wybitnych artystów i tych początkujących, tworzącym sztukę użytkową, tak, żeby razem potrafili zaprojektować całość budynku – konstrukcję, wykończenie, dekoracje i wyposażenie – wszystko w jednolitym duchu.” Mimo że „wielkie budownictwo” na wzór średniowiecznych strzech budowlanych wciąż pozostawało utopią, to w niektórych swoich projektach Bauhaus zbliżał się do idei sztuki totalnej – w 1921 roku studenci uczestniczyli w projektowaniu znajdującego się w Berlinie S „domu Sommerfelda” autorstwa Waltera Gropiusa i Adolfa Meyera.

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE EXPLOITATION, WOMEN AND WARHOL A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art by Kathleen Frances Burke May 1986 The Thesis of Kathleen Frances Burke is approved: Louise Leyis, M.A. Dianne E. Irwin, Ph.D. r<Iary/ Kenan Ph.D. , Chair California State. University, Northridge ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Dr. Mary Kenon Breazeale, whose tireless efforts have brought it to fruition. She taught me to "see" and interpret art history in a different way, as a feminist, proving that women's perspectives need not always agree with more traditional views. In addition, I've learned that personal politics does not have to be sacrificed, or compartmentalized in my life, but that it can be joined with a professional career and scholarly discipline. My time as a graduate student with Dr. Breazeale has had a profound effect on my personal life and career, and will continue to do so whatever paths my life travels. For this I will always be grateful. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In addition, I would like to acknowledge the other members of my committee: Louise Lewis and Dr. Dianne Irwin. They provided extensive editorial comments which helped me to express my ideas more clearly and succinctly. I would like to thank the six branches of the Glendale iii Public Library and their staffs, in particular: Virginia Barbieri, Claire Crandall, Fleur Osmanson, Nora Goldsmith, Cynthia Carr and Joseph Fuchs. They provided me with materials and research assistance for this project. I would also like to thank the members of my family.
