The generation that went to war against the Nazis lost a great many of their buildings – their homes and workplaces, as well as their monuments, sculptures and works of art. They had to rebuild and reshape their England. They did a remarkable job. They rebuilt ravaged cities and towns, and they built new institutions. From the National Health Service to the Arts Council, they wanted access-for-all to fundamental aspects of modern human life. And part of their vision was to create new public spaces that would raise the spirits. The wave of public art that emerged has shaped the England we live in, and it has shaped us.

  • From Russia to Oklahoma: a Case Study Of
    FROM RUSSIA TO OKLAHOMA: A CASE STUDY OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE By GARY LYNN WATTERS Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1972 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS December, 1974 FROM RUSSIA TO OKLAHOMA: A CASE STUDY OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE This study is an attempt to examine in microcosm the impact of immigration in the development of Oklahoma by exploring the role played by the Russian immigrant in the early settlement of the state. A brief overview of the character of Russian immigration is offered first, and this is followed by three case studies of immigrant families from Rus­ sia who settled in Oklahoma. This has been done for two reasons: to better enable the reader to understand the individual immigrant experience and to point out the importance of immigration upon the state of Oklahoma. The study con~ eludes by examining the significance of the immigrant and pointing out the uniqueness of the individual immigrant experience. This is accom­ plished by an examination of certain contrasts and comparisons of the three families under consideration. I wish to acknowledge and offer my warmest gratitude to the number of second generation Americans who spent countless hours describing the immigration experiences of a father or brother. These include Milton, Jake, and Mike May, who made the story of the Russian Jew in Oklahoma a reality. The efforts of Mrs. Martha Horn, Mrs.

Scholars ask `What if?' What if Schwitters had got a passport to United States and had joined other artists in exile? He would have continued making Merz with American material. He would have had no `need' to paint figuratively.1 Would he have fitted his past into an even more `modernist' mould like his friend Naum Gabo, to please the New Yorkers?2 Surely not. `Emigration is the best school of dialectics' declared Bertold Brecht.3 Schwitters' last period must be investigated not in terms of `exile' but the dialectics of exile: as a future which cuts off a past which lives on through it all the more intensely in memory, repetition, recreation. `Exile' moreover is a purely negative term, foreclosing all the inspirational possibilities of a new `genius loci', a spirit of place: England. The Germany Schwitters knew was disfigured, disintegrating, self-destructing. His longing was for place which was no more. His Merzbau was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943; Helma died in 1944: `Hanover a heap of ruins, Berlin destroyed, and you're not allowed to say how you feel.'4 The English period was a both a death and a birth, a question of identity through time, of new and old languages.

This huge bird has a wingspan of up to 3 metres. About the artist Dame Elisabeth Jean Frink (14 November 1930 – 18 April 1993) was an English sculptor and printmaker. She was born in Suffolk, and studied art in Guildford and London. While she was a student, the Tate Gallery bought one of her sculptures and this was the start of her successful career. Themes in her early drawings include wounded birds and falling men. Birds of prey were one of Elisabeth Frink’s favourite subjects in her art. As a child, living in the countryside, she remembered watching bomber planes flying overhead, while her father was abroad fighting in the Second World War. As an adult, she was interested in exploring different personalities of birds of prey. Their fierceness reminded her of how scared she had felt as a child. She was part of a postwar group of British sculptors, dubbed the Geometry of Fear school, that included Reg Butler, Bernard Meadows, Kenneth Armitage and Eduardo Paolozzi. Frink’s subject matter included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs, but very seldom any female forms. She lived for a time in the mountains of the south of France, before returning to live in Dorset.
