Building New Traditions in Paintings Conservation at the Getty, 1983-2010 Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Mark Leonard Mark Leonard: Building New Traditions in Paintings Conservation at the Getty, 1983-2010 Getty Trust Oral History Project Interviews conducted by Amanda Tewes in 2019 Interviews sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Trust Copyright © 2020 by J. Paul Getty Trust Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* Copyright in the manuscript and recording is owned by the J.

  • Moments of Observation
    John Walker Moments of Observation Sheldon Museum of Art January 18–July 14, 2019 Introduction and Beer With a Painter: John Walker, Revisited by Jennifer Samet ohn Walker’s recent paintings are about a compression of energy: forms and patterns J locked into one another. There is an urgency to his most recent paintings, a directness that is about that relationship between a person and a place, and the impulse to record that relationship through mark making. It is symbolized by how the forms lock into one another: the penetration of earth and shallow water. I think about the painting by Cezanne, The Bay of Marseilles, Seen from L’Estaque, which is also about water and shore locking into one another like mirroring, perfect jigsaw puzzle pieces. For more than fifteen years, Walker has turned his attention and gaze to Seal Point, Maine, where he lives and works. But in the newest paintings, Walker pares down his formal vocabulary to elements like patterns of zigzag lines, painterly, irregular grids, oval-shaped forms and dots. They are abstractions, but they are also landscape paintings that turn the genre on its head. They are oriented vertically, rather than the horizontal format we traditionally code as landscape. The horizon line is pushed to the uppermost portion of the canvas so that only a thin band of form suggests sky, clouds, sun or moon. Instead, Walker focuses on the patterns that form when earth and water meet. And in this area of Maine, the inlets and bays are as much about mud as they are about water.

  • Story Structure - for New Screenplay + Time-Line
    DEAD END Story structure - for new screenplay + Time-line Synopsis American jazz musician, John Garrett is in the final days of his life. An ex-patriot living in Sweden since the 1960s, he has enjoyed a unique position as a beloved musician, both locally and internationally. His many years on the road as a younger man came at a cost to his family. Married twice, he fathered a son and two daughters. Now, as adults, each child struggles with John’s pending death. The audience is carried along in a series of flashbacks that build and reveal the story’s complex conflicts and psychological unfolding. We also witness the highly contrasting differences between Sweden and America in this multi-cultural family with regard to perceptions of wealth, prestige, talent and self-image. At the same time, we share the individual emotional strain that the family members face – each in their own distinct way – as John rapidly fades, leaving them desperate for closure. The use of internal dialogs and shifting time frames make it possible to dive deeply into these personalities. A gripping psychological tale emerges to reveal the emotionally hungry child hidden within each adult. hodgearts.com [email protected] Stockholm + 46 76 224 0375 Rev 1.3 - 011115 DEAD END Story structure - for new screenplay + Time-line Overview (Story flow – Treatment) Act I Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3 Scene 4 Scene 5 Scene 6 Scene 7 Scene 8 Doctor’s office Lawyer’s office Train/Cafe/Family home Train Home Kina’s apartment Home Home John Garrett and his John goes into The siblings get Astrid meets a German Åsa and Robert have Astrid arrives in Kina and Astrid drive Åsa suggests they all daughter Åsa visit Stockholm to meet his ready to gather woman on the train to invited Björn and his Stockholm and she to pick up Anders and stay for dinner.

    Copyright February 14, 2021. Geist Christian Church. All Rights Received. Title: Family Values: Friends – One Community Away Preaching: Danny Gulden, Lead Pastor, Promise Road Campu Text: Acts 2:42-47 E-mail: Danny Gulden Watch the Service. The television show Friends aired from 1994 until 2004 and was one of the most-watched tv shows of that timeframe. The show focused on a group of six friends living close to one another in New York City. Chandler, Ross, Joey, Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe became household names and must- see tv on Thursday nights. The Central Perk café, a coffee shop where many communal scenes take place, was a leader in Americans making coffee shops a central meeting place, a third space where people gather. The show helped people learned the English language. A 2012 poll by the Kaplan International English Colleges found that more than a quarter of students cited watching the show as the best way for them to improve their English. It also led to a rise in the idea that one can construct families of choice through friends’ groups. According to a pop culture expert at the University of Buffalo, Friends is "one of those rare shows that marked a change in American culture." The images of youth and the roles they portray are better defined and represent a lifestyle that centers around creating and sustaining relationships between friends running their own lives and seeking help from each other.” Today we are concluding a series called Family Values, where we have been looking at the intersection of some favorite tv families and theology and looking at the values they teach us when it comes to relationships both within our families and outside of our families.

Still, it is a little disconcerting at first, hearing that low ominous voice over the telephone, speaking from his Tennessee cabin, discussing the weather or reading off the address for his House Of Cash management office. "This is on album I've always wanted to do," he says of American Recordings. "I even had a name 25 years ago for this album, it was going to be called Johnny Cash Alone. Years later Ithought about it again and wanted to do an album like this, and call it Johnny Cash Up Close. But this same concept has been in my mind since the early '70s." About his first meeting with producer/label head Rick Rubin, Cash recalls, "I liked the way he talked. Because right off he said, 'I'm familiar with most of your work, and you know what you do best.
