Preferred Citation note Moss Hart's Winged Victory Commemorative Dog Tags, James A. Michener Art Museum Archives. - Page 3 - Moss Hart's Winged Victory Silver Dog Tags 1943 ARC1996.5 Biographical/Historical note The idea for Winged Victory began in April 1942 when the US Army Air Forces commissioned Moss Hart to “write a play about the flying branch of the service” to boost morale and raise money for the Army Emergency Relief Fund. The play was to depict the training, work and dedication of the airmen. Hart spent two months touring national Air Force bases collecting background material and recruiting Air Force personnel with theatrical experience. Winged Victory premiered in a brief run at Boston’s Shubert Theatre on November 2, 1943 and opened November 20 on Broadway’s 44th Street Theatre, where it ran until May 1944. The cast consisted of nearly 300 actors. All male personnel were Air Force officers, non-coms and privates and were billed with their actual ranks. Most of the limited female roles were portrayed by wives of the servicemen. The musical portrayed a group of recruits who befriend each other as the struggle through pilot training. The successful Broadway run ended to enable the entire cast to perform in the Twentieth Century Fox film version directed by George Cukor from Hart’s screenplay adaptation. Barry Nelson, Red Buttons, Walter Reed, Whit Bissell and Keith Andes were featured on stage as well as in the 1944 film adaptation. The Winged Victory company, known as the 31st AAF Base Unit, disbanded in November, 1945. Like Hart’s play, the film earned high praise with critics calling it “one of the most successful films about this war… [with] all the poignancy and zeal that was tightly compacted in the episodes of Moss Hart’s original play” (New York Times). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hart was born in New York City on October 24, 1904. He was raised, in relative poverty, by his English- born Jewish immigrant parents in the Bronx, New York, and in the Seagate area of Brooklyn. Early on he had a strong relationship with his Aunt Kate, with whom he later lost contact due to a falling out between her and his parents, and her weakening mental state. She piqued his interest in the theater and took him to see performances often. After working several years as a director of amateur theatrical groups and an entertainment director at summer resorts, he scored his first Broadway hit with “Once in a Lifetime” (1930), a farce about the arrival of the sound era in Hollywood. The play was written in collaboration with Broadway veteran George S. Kaufman. During the next decade, Kaufman and Hart teamed on a string of successes, including “You Can't Take It With You” (1936) and “The Man Who Came to Dinner” (1939). Though Kaufman had hits with others, Hart is generally conceded to be his most important collaborator. Hart continued to write plays after parting with Kaufman, such as “Christopher Blake” (1946) and “Light Up the Sky” (1948), as well as the book for the musical “Lady In The Dark” (1941), with songs by Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin. However, he became best known during this period as a director. Among the Broadway hits he staged were “Junior Miss” (1941), “Dear Ruth” (1944) and “Anniversary Waltz” (1954). By far his biggest hit was the musical “My Fair Lady” (1956), adapted from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Hart also wrote some screenplays, including “Winged Victory” (1944), “Gentleman's Agreement” (1947) – for which he received an Oscar nomination – “Hans Christian - Page 4 - Moss Hart's Winged Victory Silver Dog Tags 1943 ARC1996.5 Andersen” (1952) and “A Star Is Born” (1954). Moss Hart died of a heart attack at the age of 57 on December 20, 1961, at his winter home in Palm Springs, California. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss_Hart Scope and Contents note The collection includes two of Moss Hart's "Winged Victory" silver punched dog tags with chain.

    Thresholds 16 REPRODUCTION IN AGE OF THE MECHANICAL WORK OF ART Kevin Fellingham This is not really about speed. It is rather about touch. A slow and gentle touch may be called a caress, if at high speed and with great force, an impact. Speed and force. Perhaps we could say it is about velocity It may also be about the promiscuity of ideas. If Hannah Arendt is to be believed, then Walter Benjamin desired to produce "a work consisting entirely of quotations, one that was mounted so masterfully that it could dispense with any accompanying text, "which" may strike one as whimsical in the extreme and self-destructive to boot, but it was not, any more than were the contemporaneous surrealistic experiments which arose from similar impulses. To the extent that an accom- panying text by the author proved unavoidable, it was a matter of fashioning it in such a way as to preserve" the intention of such Investigations," namely " to plumb the depths of language and thought... by drilling rather than excavating"(briefe1, 3291, so as not to ruin everything with explanations that seek to provide a causal or systematic connection."

    CHARLES ADRIAN PILLARS (1870-1937), JACKSONVILLE‟S MOST NOTED SCULPTOR By DIANNE CRUM DAWOOD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Dianne Crum Dawood 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to acknowledge my thesis chair, Dr. Melissa Hyde, and committee members, Dr. Eric Segal and Dr. Victoria Rovine, for serving on this project for me. Their suggestions, insightful analysis, encouragement, and confidence in my candidacy for a master‟s in art history were important support. I also enjoyed their friendship and patience during this process. The wordsmithing and editing guidance of Mary McClurkin was a delightful collaboration that culminated in a timely finished paper and a treasured friendship. Assistance from Deanne and Ira in the search of microfilm and microfiche records turned a project of anticipated drudgery into a treasure hunt of exciting finds. I also appreciated the suggestions and continued interest of Dr. Wayne Wood, who assured me that Charles Adrian Pillars‟s story was worthy of serious research that culminated in learning details of his life and career heretofore unknown outside of Pillars‟s family. Interviews with Pillars‟s daughter, Ann Pillars Durham, were engaging time travels recalling her father and his celebrity and the family‟s economic and personal vicissitudes during the Great Depression. She also graciously allowed me to review her personal papers. Wells & Drew, the parent company of which was founded in Jacksonville in 1855, permitted my use of a color image, and The Florida Times-Union granted permission to use some of their photographs in this paper.

    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 Introduction ITALIAN MODERN ART - ISSUE 3 | INTRODUCTION italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/introduction-3 Raffaele Bedarida | Silvia Bignami | Davide Colombo Methodologies of Exchange: MoMA’s “Twentieth-Century Italian Art” (1949), Issue 3, January 2020 https://www.italianmodernart.org/journal/issues/methodologies-of- exchange-momas-twentieth-century-italian-art-1949/ ABSTRACT A brief overview of the third issue of Italian Modern Art dedicated to the MoMA 1949 exhibition Twentieth-Century Italian Art, including a literature review, methodological framework, and acknowledgments. If the study of artistic exchange across national boundaries has grown exponentially over the past decade as art historians have interrogated historical patterns, cultural dynamics, and the historical consequences of globalization, within such study the exchange between Italy and the United States in the twentieth-century has emerged as an exemplary case.1 A major reason for this is the history of significant migration from the former to the latter, contributing to the establishment of transatlantic networks and avenues for cultural exchange. Waves of migration due to economic necessity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries gave way to the smaller in size but culturally impactful arrival in the U.S. of exiled Jews and political dissidents who left Fascist Italy during Benito Mussolini’s regime. In reverse, the presence in Italy of Americans – often participants in the Grand Tour or, in the 1950s, the so-called “Roman Holiday” phenomenon – helped to making Italian art, past and present, an important component in the formation of American artists and intellectuals.2 This history of exchange between Italy and the U.S.

  • Hybrid Program Featuring Live Performances and Dance Films by Current Students and Alumni Curator/Artistic Direc
    Gaucho Reunion: Hybrid Program featuring live performances and dance films by current students and alumni Curator/Artistic Director Brandon Whited June 19, 2021 Center Stage Theater Director’s Note It is with great joy and pleasure that we welcome you back to the theater. It goes without saying that this has been an incredi- bly challenging year. While many industries have been effected by the pandemic in significant ways, the performing arts—and dance in particular—have endured devastating economic and structural ramifi- cations. COVID’s impact on the arts has been widely un-addressed at the governmental level and it is due to the unshakeable support of arts advocates, donors, and community organizers that we are here today. This year—and the end of last school year—has had a dispro- portionate sense of loss for our seniors. The students’ visions for the culmination of four years of study took a sharp turn. Yet, with grace and adaptability they met the challenges and losses with energy and passion and turned every opportunity into a meaningful experience. It is with great pride that we witness the transcendence of these short- falls—both locally, and more broadly across the field of dance. When submissions for the festival call came in, and the pro- gram curation started taking shape, it was the robust response from new and recent UCSB Alumni that inspired the program tonight. The choreographers, directors, filmmakers, and dancers presenting their work are representatives of various cohorts from the last few years. Their assemblage expresses the power of lineage and the shared history that connects graduates of any institution.
