  • L1013 Wolf, Goya's Red Boy, 144-173, FINALFINAL
    REVA WOLF Goya’s “Red Boy” The Making of a Celebrity R W Reva Wolf came to study with Jonathan Brown when, as a student in his seminar on Francisco Goya, she discovered the topic of her Ph.D. dissertation. Brown served as co-advisor with Robert Rosenblum for the dissertation, entitled “Francisco Goya and the Interest in British Art and Aesthetics in Late Eighteenth-Century Spain”, which Wolf defended in . Growing directly out of this Ph.D. work was Wolf’s book and exhibition, Goya and the Satirical Print (). She also wrote one of her two Master’s degree qualifying papers, The Hall of Battles at El Escorial, under Brown’s guidance. Her first professional writing assignment, the essay “Onlooker, Witness and Judge in Goya’s Disasters of War,” for the catalogue of the exhibition Fatal Consequences: Callot, Goya, and the Horrors of War (), was due to Brown’s recommendation. Wolf has n , Harry B.

  • Van Dyck: the Anatomy of Portraiture,” on View at the Frick Collection Until June 5, Opportunities to Consider These Questions Abound
    TheVan Anatomy Dyck Of Portraiture By James D. Balestrieri NEW YORK CITY — A great portrait is a balancing act between capturing likeness and revealing inner character, between fidelity to appearance — verisimilitude — and exposing the sitter’s inner light to the light of day: the eyes of beholders, viewers, us. But in great portraiture there is another requisite element: mystery. The portraitist must hint at something else, something other, something that shimmers at the surface — often in the eyes, mouth or hands of the sitter — a moment that passed, perhaps, between the artist and the sitter, a secret we suspect but can never fully be in on. “Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio,” 1623, oil on canvas. Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy. How can we know when a portrait has this quality? The simplest answer is that when a portrait moves us to try to bore into it, to decode its subject, the sitter, time and again, that mystery is present. But there is a more scientific method. If collectors and cultural institutions, over a lengthy period, single out, vie for and prize portraits of people they could never have known, people they have no relation to, people whose names may well be lost or mean little to history, then we may be sure that the artist has captured lightning in a bottle. When this is evident, as in the case of Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641), new questions emerge about the production and consumption of portraits, and about their place and meaning in disparate cultures over time. With more than 100 of the artist’s works in the exhibition “Van Dyck: The Anatomy of Portraiture,” on view at the Frick Collection until June 5, opportunities to consider these questions abound.

  • Herbert Weiss Autobiography
    My Autobiography by Herbert Weiss with help from Chris McKeever January 2008 America has been my home for nearly 68 years now; in America I was educated, married and raised my daughter, had a career as an engineer and enjoyed visiting and photographing sights and scenery of this land. This was not the life I imagined for myself when I was growing up in Vienna, Austria, where I was born July 23, 1920.......in another place and time. This is the story of that place, that time and the events that brought me to America. My father, Armin, was born in Vienna in 1896, the eldest (and I believe the brightest) of three sons. His two brothers were Siegfried and Georg. Before the First World War my father owned a factory where they made embroidered doilies and other decorative items. It was not a business that was in his family; he must have been very bright to be able to find a way to own his own factory at such a young age. When he joined the army, he sold the factory and went off to war. In 1918, my father returned to Vienna, and needing employment, he found jobs as a bookkeeper and eventually as a salesman of life insurance. I don't think he really liked this work; I think he would have preferred being the manufacturer, the boss. He was a "boss-like" person. He was never as well off financially as he had been when he owned the factory. If he had been able to keep his factory, I think he would have been very successful.

  • WORLD MONEY POWER III Copyright February 2005 Charles Savoie
    WORLD MONEY POWER III Copyright February 2005 Charles Savoie “Moore has the fastest financial mind in existence. He can take a complex financial problem and do it in his head without drawing a breath while talking.” This was spoken by second-generation Pilgrim Society member Walter Bigelow Wriston, chairman of Citibank-Citicorp, 1970-1984, about Pilgrim Society member George Stevens Moore, his predecessor as chairman of the huge bank. The quotation appeared in Fortune, January 1976, page 123. At that time Citicorp had branches in 104 countries. Moore was a director of Credit Suisse White Weld, and of the Harriman-Rockefeller Union Pacific Railroad. Wriston was a director of General Electric; Rand Corporation; Chubb Corporation (insurance); United Meridian Corporation; Fremont Group; York International; ICOS Corporation; AEA Investors; Sequoia Ventures and others. Wriston’s father, who was president of Brown University from 1937-1955, was a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1943-1954, and president of the Pilgrim Society run Council on Foreign Relations, 1953-1964. I would have no definite way to establish membership of any of these three in The Pilgrims, save for the leaked 1969 list! Two of the biggest bankers on planet earth were important enough to hold membership in this organization, and it was too blasted secret for the public to know about! And we know how these megabankers detest metallic money, since they cannot create it! There is far more to be detailed about The Pilgrims---London and New York, than can be done in 2 dozen lengthy articles. However it won’t take so long to examine the most relevant points.

    2018/2019 Contents FOREWORD I write this as the glamour of the Oscars ceremony plays out on the TV in my hotel room. Simultaneously I keep an eye on the Italian elections coverage on the BBC, on Reuters to try to assess the effect of another drop in world stock indexes on my pension (as if I could!), whilst also trying to determine what it might mean to rule out “passporting rights” for UK banks after Brexit. Then I realise, with a sudden stab of guilt, that all these concerns are trivial compared to those of a civilian in eastern Ghouta, trying to survive the daily onslaught of President Assad’s forces, or to the daily Head Office and General Enquiries D Giles Limited anguish of a Venezuelan parent desperately trying to find essential drugs 4 Crescent Stables for their child.
