paragraph: Edward Balliol

paragraph: Edward Balliol ( 1283 – 1367) was a pretender to the Scottish throne during the Second War of Scottish Independence. With English help, he ruled parts of the country from 1332 to 1356.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was the eldest son of John Balliol, erstwhile King of the Scots, and Isabella de Warenne, daughter of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Alice de Lusignan. Alice was daughter of Hugh X de Lusignan and Isabella of Angoulême, widow of John, King of England.

paragraph: The death of King Robert I weakened Scotland considerably, since his son and successor David II was still a child and the two most able lieutenants, the Black Douglas and Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, both died shortly afterwards.

paragraph: Taking advantage of this, Edward Balliol, backed by Edward III of England, defeated the Regent, the Earl of Mar, at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in Perthshire. He was crowned at Scone in September 1332, but three months later he was forced to flee half-naked back to England, following a surprise attack by nobles loyal to David II at the Battle of Annan.

paragraph: On his retreat from Scotland, Balliol sought refuge with the Clifford family, land owners in Westmorland, and stayed in their castles at Appleby, Brougham, Brough, and Pendragon.

paragraph: He was restored by the English in 1333, following the siege of Berwick and the Battle of Halidon Hill. Balliol then ceded the whole of the district formerly known as Lothian to Edward and paid homage to him as "liege lord". With no serious support in Scotland, he was deposed again in 1334

paragraph: He returned to Scotland after the defeat of David II at Battle of Neville's Cross in 1346, raising an insurrection in Galloway, and speedily penetrated to the central parts of the kingdom. However, he gained no permanent footing.

paragraph: On 20 January 1356, Balliol surrendered his claim to the Scottish throne to Edward III in exchange for an English pension. He spent the rest of his life living in obscurity. He died in 1367, at Wheatley, Doncaster, Yorkshire, England. The location of his grave is believed to be under a Doncaster Post Office.

paragraph: Sir David Mathew

paragraph: Sir David Mathew (1400–1484; born Dafydd ap Mathew, was a Welsh Knight. He was Lord of Llandaff and Seneschal of Llandaff Cathedral, and one of the ten Great Barons of Glamorgan, a Marcher Lord. It was said he was one of the most distinguished men of his age and a zealous supporter of the Yorkist cause. After saving the life of King Edward IV at the Battle of Towton in 1461, he was appointed Grand Standard Bearer of England and King Edward IV granted the use of 'Towton' on his arms.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sir David Mathew was the son of Mathew ap Ieuan (or Evan).

paragraph: Sir David was also Lord of Llandaff and Seneschal of Llandaff Cathedral. He had a grant of 2,232 acres of land from Henry VI, the reversion of Caneton, and from William, Earl of Pembroke lands at St Fagans and at Pentyrch.

paragraph: Sir David was a zealous supporter of the Yorkist cause, whose extraordinary prowess and daring in the field, even at a very advanced age, were used on behalf of the White Rose of York. He was a very tall man, said to stand tall. At the Battle of Towton, on Palm Sunday, 29 March 1461, although by then about sixty years old, he saved the life of Edward IV and was rewarded by his grateful monarch with the honour of Grand Standard Bearer of England.

paragraph: Sir David was one of the ten Great Barons of Glamorgan, and a Marcher Lord. He received from Edward IV the grant of the use of the word "Towton" as an augmentation over his crest. In 1480 he restored the shrine of Saint Teilo which had been pillaged and desecrated by a gang of pirates from Biston, and was presented by Bishop Marshall with St. Teilo's skull, set in a costly reliquary, to be an heirloom in his family, who carefully preserved it for about 200 years, until the death of William Mathew in 1658 at Llandeilo.

paragraph: Browne Willis reported in his "An survey of the Cathedral-Church of Landaff" that Sir David was murdered in an altercation at Neath, West Glamorgan by some members of the Turberville family of Coity Castle.

paragraph: Section::::Armorials.

paragraph: Two different arms are recorded as having been used by the Mathew family, both consisting of a lion rampant, but with differing tinctures. The branch seated at Llandaff, thus the senior line, is generally ascribed "Or, a lion rampant sable", whilst the branch seated at Radyr, descended from Sir David Mathew's younger brother, is generally ascribed "Sable, a lion rampant argent". Yet confusingly the 1980 heraldic restoration of the Mathew tombs at Llandaff carried out by Hugh P. Mathew, who was recognised by the College of Arms as having proved his direct descent from Sir David Mathew, has resulted in the Radyr coat being painted on the tomb of Sir Christopher, who was head of the Llandaff branch. Rev. Murray Mathew (1895) assigns to Sir David the Radyr coat. Moreover, the Earls Landaff used the coat of the Llandaff branch even though they were descended from the Radyr branch. Unfortunately the tomb of Sir David bears no heraldry by which the confusion might be resolved. The arms of Radyr "Sable, a lion rampant argent" were supposedly adopted in honour of the White Rose, according to Rev Murray Mathew.

paragraph: Section::::Armorials.:Crest.

paragraph: The crest is also not without confusion, being given variously as a "heathcock" (another name for partridge, of the pheasant family), a "moorcock", a "fieldcock", (a vague term possibly denoting grouse), a blackcock, (of the grouse family) and is shown on the Earl Landaff memorial in a form akin to a farmyard cock or rooster. The effigy of Sir David does however show most of the bird forming the crest of his helm upon which he rests his head, but it is missing the head. The feet are short and sturdy, suggesting a grouse-type bird and are not the long legs of a rooster A gilded bird, probably a dove, is used as a foot-rest in the effigy of St Teilo in Llandaff Cathedral.

paragraph: Section::::Armorials.:Motto.

paragraph: The motto of Mathew is in Welsh: "Y Fyn Duw A Fydd" ("What God willeth will be").

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Sir David married Wenllian 1396–1470 of Glamorgan, daughter of Sir George Herbert. He left by Wenllian three sons.

paragraph: He had the following three sons:

paragraph: BULLET::::- David (born 1425 1st. son) He married Ann Myddletonn (b. 1430), with whom he had one son, Jenkyn Mathew. David was the founder of the "Mathews" American line, which would eventually arrive in the new world with Thomas Mathews (b. 1660) Thomas arrived in Halifax, Virginia, circa 1700.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Reyborn (or "Reinborn, Rimbron," etc.)(d.1470), 2nd. son. He was the founder of the Llandaf line of Mathew, having married Isabella (or Elizabeth) Denys, daughter of Maurice Denys(d.1466), esquire, of Alveston, Glos., Sheriff of Gloucestershire, by his 2nd wife Alice Poyntz, da. of Sir Nicholas Poyntz of Iron Acton, Gloucestershire. Reyborn's will (dated 20 October 1470, proved 15 March 1471) directed that he should be buried in the Chapel of the Virgin Mary within The Gaunt's Chapel, Bristol, where the Poyntz family later in about 1520 built a family chapel. His will directed that gold & silver items be placed upon the shrine of "his kinsmen" Saint Teilo, Saint Oudoceus and Saint Dubricius at Llandaff Cathedral. Reyborn's eldest son and heir was Sir Christopher Mathew(d.1528), whose effigy is one of three surviving Mathew effigies in Llandaf Cathedral. Sir Christopher's son was Miles Mathew, Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1547. A later descendant was Admiral Thomas Mathews(d.1751) who built Llandaff Court and was court-martialled in mysterious circumstances.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Thomas (1438–1470), 3rd son. He is mentioned in Reyborn's will, and had been the custodian of the relics of St Teilo. He married "Catherine ferch Morgan" (1436–1468), daughter of Welsh nobleman "Morgan ap Llewellyn", and founded the Radyr line of Mathew. He was also buried at The Gaunt's Chapel, Bristol. On Thomas' death in 1470, his lands passed to his son William Mathew (1460–1528), who was knighted by King Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Sir William accompanied King Henry VIII to the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520. Sir Knight William's successor was his eldest son Sir George Mathew (1486–1557) who became the MP for Glamorgan constituency and in 1545 Sheriff of Glamorgan. From the Radyr line was founded the family of the Earls Landaff in the peerage of Ireland.

paragraph: Somi

paragraph: Somi (born Laura Kabasomi Kakoma on June 6, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor of Rwandan and Ugandan descent.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Somi was born in Champaign, Illinois, while her father was completing post-doctoral studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. When Somi was three years old, her family then moved to Ndola, Zambia, while her father worked for the World Health Organization. In the late 1980s when her father became a professor at the University of Illinois, they returned to Champaign, where Somi spent the rest of her childhood. She attended both University Laboratory High School and Champaign Central High School, and earned her undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and African Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. She also holds a Master's degree from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in Performance Studies.

paragraph: Somi has built her career while developing an original and hybrid sound she coined as "New African Jazz". In 2007, she licensed her independently recorded album "Red Soil in My Eyes" to the Harmonia Mundi/World Village label for her first international distribution deal. The record received wide critical acclaim with the hit single "Ingele" that maintained a Top 10 position on U.S. World Music Charts for several months.

paragraph: In 2009, Somi signed with independent record label ObliqSound. Her label debut "If the Rains Come First" was released in North America on October 27, 2009, and subsequently debuted at no. 2 on "Billboard"s World Music Chart and no. 21 on "Billboard"s Heatseekers Chart. The album features South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, Somi's long-time mentor, as a guest on one track. In March 2011, Somi recorded her first live concert album at the legendary Jazz Standard in New York City. It was released on Palmetto Records in August 2011.

paragraph: In 2013, Somi signed her first major label deal with Sony Music to become one of the first artists on their relaunched historic jazz imprint Okeh Records. Her album and major label debut "The Lagos Music Salon", which features Grammy-winning special guests Angelique Kidjo and Common and debuted at #1 on US Jazz Charts, was inspired by an 18-month sabbatical she took in Lagos, Nigeria. On the heels of much critical acclaim and a rapidly growing fan base, "The Huffington Post" and other publications dubbed Somi "the new Nina Simone". In March 2017, she released "Petite Afrique" as her second album on Okeh Records. The album, which won a 2018 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Jazz Album, is a song cycle about the large West African immigrant community in Harlem, New York City in the face of rapid gentrification. It features special guest Aloe Blacc.

paragraph: Somi is a TED Senior Fellow, a 2018 United States Artists Fellow, a 2018 Soros Equality Fellow, and an inaugural Association of Performing Arts Presenters Fellow. She is also the founder of the award-winning non-profit organization New Africa Live.

paragraph: Hans-Jürgen Riediger

paragraph: Hans Jürgen Riediger (born 20 December 1955 in Finsterwalde) is a former German footballer. Hans-Jürgen Riediger played for youth team "Motor Finsterwalde Süd" and represented Berlin club BFC Dynamo for 14 years. The striker came to prominence with 34 youth international matches and made his league debut with Dynamo Berlin against Hansa Rostock on 22 August 1973. On 26 March 1975, he made his debut for the East German national team against Bulgaria. In the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Riediger won the gold medal with the East German team. With his numerous goals he was heavily involved in BFC Dynamo's 5 championships between 1979 and 1983. Altogether Riediger made 193 top level appearances, scoring 105 goals. Despite his outstanding goal ratio he never became top scorer of the first league of the GDR. 1982/83 was his last season and at the same time also his strongest. In the first 15 first league games Riediger scored 16 goals. However Riediger badly hurt his knee, meaning both the season and his career were prematurely terminated. Riediger made 41 international appearances for East Germany and scored six goals. After his career ended, Riediger worked as a youth coach at Dynamo Berlin. In addition, he was coach of the regional clubs "TSG Fredersdorf" and "Einheit Königswusterhausen".

paragraph: His son Marcel is also a footballer. Amongst others, he played for Dynamo Berlin and Erzgebirge Aue.

paragraph: Louis Hippolyte Leroy

paragraph: Louis Hippolyte Leroy (1763 - 1829) was a French fashion merchant who founded the House of Leroy, one of the foremost fashion houses of the early 19th century First Empire Paris. He is known as the favorite fashion trader and the official fashion designer of empress Josephine de Beauharnais. He was very successful and also provided dresses for several other royal and Princely courts in Europe during the early 19th-century.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The son of a machinist of the Royal Opera, he was trained to be a hairdresser and employed at the Royal court of Versailles. In 1804, he provided the empress with her coronation costume, which founded his career as a successful fashion trader of the Parisian high society, eventually making himself a millionaire.

paragraph: According to Imbert de Saint Amand, Leroy did not actually design the costumes he sold; in fact, he bought the models from designers such as Louis-Philibert Debucourt, Jean-Baptiste Isabey and Auguste Garneray, and simply sold them on to his costumers.

paragraph: Guillem Augier Novella

paragraph: Guillem Augier Novella was a troubadour from Vienne in the Dauphinois who lived most of his adulthood in Lombardy and was active as a minstrel in the early or mid thirteenth century. According to his late thirteenth-century "vida", "he composed good "descartz" and "sirventes" in the manner of jongleurs, in which he praised some and blamed others."

paragraph: Augier spent his early career at the court of the Emperor Frederick II, and was there associated with such figures as Guilhem Figueira and Aimery de Pégulhan, until 1230. Among Augier's most famous works is his "sirventes" (a "planh" or lament) now entitled "A People Grieving for the Death of their Lord", which commemorates either the murder of Raymond I Trencavel in 1167 or, as is more preferred, of Raymond Roger Trencavel in 1209. It has been described as a "funeral oration", but its contemporaneousness with the death of Raymond Roger has been called into question recently. It was probably written at a much later date. The chief purpose of the "sirventes" may be to mourn the lost culture of Languedoc before the Albigensian Crusade and the "lord" of the story is probably a stereotype meant to represent that culture. It can therefore be viewed as representative of a genre of anti-Crusading verse prevalent in the "trovatore" traditions of Italy at the time. On the other hand, it is said to convey a "sense of personal loss" and not "opposition to the expedition".

paragraph: Gertrude of Süpplingenburg

paragraph: Gertrude of Süpplingenburg (18 April 1115 – 18 April 1143) was, by her two successive marriages, Duchess of Bavaria from 1127 to 1138, Margravine of Tuscany from 1136 to 1139, and Duchess of Saxony from 1137 to 1138, Margravine of Austria and again Duchess of Bavaria until her death. She was regent of Saxony during the minority of her son in 1139-1142.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Gertrude was the only child of Lothair of Supplinburg, Duke of Saxony, and his wife Richenza of Northeim. After the death of the last Salian emperor Henry V, her father, backed by Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz was elected King of the Romans in 1125, and ruled as Holy Roman Emperor from 1133 to 1137.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:First marriage.

paragraph: To strengthen the ties with the Welf dynasty, Lothair married Gertrude to Henry the Proud, Duke of Bavaria since 1126. The lavish wedding ceremony was held on 29 May 1127 on the Lech fields near Augsburg. Indeed, Duke Henry became a loyal supporter in Lothair's struggle with the rivalling House of Hohenstaufen. The marriage also marked a significant increase of the Welf power: in 1136 Lothair vested Henry with the Italian March of Tuscany and, after the death of his father-in-law in 1137, Henry also succeeded him as Duke of Saxony. He furthermore inherited extended Saxon allodial lands around Süpplingenburg, Brunswick and Northeim. According to the contemporary chronicler Otto of Freising he ruled over a realm that stretched "from Denmark to Sicily". Henry and Gertrude had one son, Henry the Lion, born in 1129, who later became Duke of Saxony and Bavaria.

paragraph: Gertrude's husband had received the Imperial Regalia from his father-in-law, however, as much powerful as arrogant, he failed to succeed Lothair as King of the Romans, when he was defeated by his Hohenstaufen rival Conrad III in the imperial election of 1138. Refusing to pay tribute, he was banned and stripped off his Bavarian and Saxon duchies, which Conrad gave to his rivals Margrave Leopold of Austria and the Ascanian margrave Albert the Bear respectively. While defending his rights in Saxony, Henry suddenly died at Quedlinburg 1139, leaving Gertrude alone with their ten-year-old son.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Regent.

paragraph: Acting as Saxon regent, Gertrude with the aid of her mother Empress Richenza was able to secure the inheritance rights of her son by reaching a consent with the Hohenstaufen King Conrad III. In 1142 Henry the Lion was finally vested with the Duchy of Saxony by King Conrad III, after Albert the Bear renounced his rights. Henry the Lion himself in turn renounced his succession in the Duchy of Bavaria, which Conrad ceded to the Babenberg margrave Henry II Jasomirgott of Austria.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Second marriage.

paragraph: Gertrude and Henry II married on 1 May 1142 in Brunswick. They had one daughter, Richenza (b. 1143 - d. 1200), later wife of Landgrave Heinrich V of Steffling. The marriage produced no male heirs, as Gertrude died in childbirth at Klosterneuburg Monastery in Austria on 18 April 1143, which was her 28th birthday. She was buried at Schottenstift, Vienna.

paragraph: Henry Jasomirgott later married his second wife, Theodora Komnene, a niece of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos. In 1152 King Conrad was succeeded by his nephew Frederick Barbarossa, who vested Gertrude's son Henry the Lion with the Duchy of Bavaria in 1156.

paragraph: Pierre Sarr N'Jie

paragraph: Pierre Sarr N'Jie (17 July 1909 – 11 December 1993) was a Gambian lawyer and politician who served as the Chief Minister of the Gambia from 1961 to 1962. He was the country's first head of government following the declaration of self-rule in 1961. From 1952 until 1977, he was leader of the United Party. He was also a member of the House of Representatives from 1960 to 1972, and "de facto" Leader of the Opposition for a period, opposite Dawda Jawara.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and government employment.

paragraph: N'Jie was born in the Gambia in 1909 to a Wolof Muslim family. His father was a trader who was the nephew of one of the last kings of Saloum, Semu Joof. Thus, through his father, he had Serer blood from the Joof family of Saloum. N'Jie attended Saint Augustine's School in Bathurst and taught there before entering government employment in January 1929. He entered the Judicial Department as an assistant clerk of the courts in 1931, remaining there until July 1943 when he retired on a pension on medical grounds. In February 1943, he had been arrested and prosecuted on the charge of forging the signature of a plaintiff in a civil case. After the short trial, N'Jie was acquitted by the local magistrates due to a lack of evidence but was not given his old job back. The government later refused to pay him any health or reputational compensation, which he greatly resented.

paragraph: Section::::Studies in England and legal career.

paragraph: Having failed to secure alternative employment in the Gambia, he left for the United Kingdom to study medicine at King's College London. However, he said "I only stayed there a short time. I was to be a doctor, but I don't like blood." In September 1943, he began legal training at Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court. In 1948, he became the first Wolof to be called to the bar. He returned to the Gambia in 1949 to set up his own firm in Bathurst. His main success was in conveyancing land between Africans and Lebanese. In September 1958, the deputy judge of the Supreme Court of the Gambia, Myles John Abbott, disbarred N'Jie from the legal profession for one of these deals. This decision was set aside by the West African Court of Appeal in June 1959, on the grounds that a deputy judge had no jurisdiction in the matter. In May 1961, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ruled that the deputy judge's initial decision should be upheld in a case known as "The Attorney-General of the Gambia vs Pierre Sarr N'Jie".

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: N'Jie first stood for election in the Legislative Council in 1951 but was not elected. He stood again in 1954, supported by his recently-established United Party. He had greater financial resources at his disposal than his opponent and had the advantage of not being associated with the unpopular incumbent Governor of the Gambia, Percy Wyn-Harris. He also enjoyed support from female voters who were organised by his sister, Yadicone N'Jie. N'Jie won the election and was also appointed to the Executive Council as Minister for Education and Social Welfare. However, in October 1955, following a clash between United Party supporters and Gambia Muslim Congress supporters in Bathurst, N'Jie accused the Chief Superintendent of Police of not taking enough action to prevent the violence and suppressing possible prosecutions. A subsequent commission of inquiry failed to support his accusation and strongly criticised his conduct. Wyn-Harris instructed N'Jie to resign from the Executive Council, and when he refused, he was dismissed in January 1956.

paragraph: In the first election to the House of Representatives in 1960, N'Jie was elected as the member for New Town East. However, it was the People's Progressive Party (PPP) that won the largest number of seats. Governor Edward Windley offered N'Jie a Minister without Portfolio position on the Executive Council, which he immediately rejected, putting the United Party into opposition. Therefore, it was a surprise when Windley appointed N'jie as the first Chief Minister of the Gambia in March 1961. He believed that the United Party was actually gaining popular support over the PPP, and also that he would have influence over M. E. Jallow, the leader of the Gambia Workers' Union.

paragraph: During his term as Chief Minister, N'Jie was involved in early negotiations with the Senegalese government over the Gambia's long-term future. He remained as Chief Minister until the 1962 election, when the PPP won a clear victory, although N'Jie retained his New Town East seat. N'Jie became the Leader of the Opposition, while Dawda Jawara became the first Prime Minister of the Gambia. The United Party challenged the election results in the courts, alleging that the register of voters had been invalid. The claim was upheld by the West African Court of Appeal in April 1963, but N'Jie dedicated much of his time until Gambian independence trying to persuade the British government to call a new election. In his absence, the United Party went into decline, with a number of its members joining the PPP.

paragraph: Returning to work in the Gambia in January 1965, N'Jie successfully organised the 'no' vote in the 1965 republic referendum but failed to repeat this success in the 1966 election. Although he won his own seat of Bathurst North, he did not prevent a PPP victory. N'Jie's popularity waned into the late 1960s, and shortly after the 1970 republic referendum, a result he refused to success, on 8 May he was dismissed as the leader by his party's executive committee. He was replaced by his brother, E. D. N'Jie, but after his death on 19 October, the United Party was obliged to reinstate N'Jie. He failed to provide inspiring leadership, and despite winning his own seat again in 1972, only two other United Party members were elected besides him. He was expelled from the House of Representatives in 1972 for nonattendance of two consecutive meetings. Despite remaining party leader, he took little more part in political life, and by 1977 seldom ventured out of his home. He died at the age of 84 on 8 December 1993.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: N'Jie converted to Catholicism in 1939.

paragraph: Sophie Ryder

paragraph: Sophie Ryder (born 1963 in London, UK) is a British female sculptor. Her imaginary world is populated by mystical hybrid creatures bound together in intimate and affectionate companionship.

paragraph: Although best known for her huge wire sculptures, Ryder uses many other materials - bronze, wet plaster embedded with old machine parts, sheet metal, marble, and stained glass. Drawing, painting and printmaking have always been central to her artistic practice and are a vital creative counterpoint to her sculptural work.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sophie Ryder was born in London, England, in 1963.

paragraph: Sophie studied combined arts at the Royal Academy of Arts 1981-84, where, while obtaining her diploma in painting, she was encouraged by fellow artists to develop her sculpture.

paragraph: Ryder's world is one of mystical creatures, animals and hybrid beings made from sawdust, wet plaster, old machine parts and toys, weld joins and angle grinders, wire 'pancakes', torn scraps of paper, charcoal sticks and acid baths.

paragraph: Sophie developed the Lady Hare as a counterpart to Ancient Greek mythology's Minotaur.

paragraph: Working 'big' is a very significant feature of Sophie's work, and she enjoys rising to the constructional and creative challenges which flow from this aspiration.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Works.

paragraph: Ryder has mainly focused her work on mythical creatures. Her most known piece is the Lady Hare, a hare with a female human body. In 1994 a sculpture of five minotaurs was banned from an exhibition at Winchester Cathedral because of the prominence of their genitalia.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Influences.

paragraph: When asked about what influences her, Ryder replies, "I don't sit and contemplate what it is I am trying to achieve. My head is full of ideas all the time. It is part of my life. I don't plan anything, it just comes.

paragraph: When asked why she portrays hares she replied, "Well, I find it difficult answering that question because I don't really know the answer. It's the same as asking me why I make sculptures, and the answer is, because I feel driven to. So it's difficult to always pin down reasons. My introduction to hares was when my lurcher dog would proudly bring hares home and drop them at my feet.

paragraph: Marco Cornaro

paragraph: Marco Cornaro (c. 1286 – 13 January 1368), also known as Marco Corner, was the 59th doge of Venice, ruling between 1365 and 1368. His brief reign saw the loss of Venetian territory to Genoa and the Ottoman Empire, though Venice was to enjoy economic growth during this time.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The Cornaro family to which the future doge was born was one of Venice's oldest, its lineage traceable to the Romans. It was also one of the richest, having achieved this status from money-lending. The Cornaros would produce three more doges in the 17th and 18th centuries.

paragraph: Marco Cornaro's first marriage was to Giovanna Scrovegni of Padua, with whom he had three sons and two daughters. His second marriage was to a woman named Caterina about whom little is known other than her low social status made his later election to the doge difficult. Dogaressa Caterina was somewhat mocked for her simple habits, which was not seen as suitable for the rank of a dogaressa, but he always defended her and called her a good woman and wife. Cornaro acquired his own wealth through trade with Egypt. He also followed both military and political careers in the service of the Republic, leading troops at sea and on the mainland. He served as ambassador to Emperor Charles IV and Pope Clement VI, and was also a member of the Venetian delegation to the election of Pope Urban V in Avignon.

paragraph: Cornaro was instrumental in the discovery and suppression of the attempted coup d'état in 1355 by the then doge Marino Faliero, who intended to declare himself prince of Venice. Following the dissolution of the plot and execution of the conspirators, Cornaro was briefly made vice-doge before a successor to Faliero could be appointed.

paragraph: Section::::Dogal office.

paragraph: On the death of the previous incumbent Lorenzo Celsi on 18 July 1365, Cornaro was elected to the dogal office, despite the aspersions cast by his opponents over his advanced age, his wife's low birth and his friendships with foreign princes. Once elected, in contrast to his predecessors, he established a respectful stance towards Venice's public bodies.

paragraph: During the two and a half years of his reign, Venice saw no major changes or wars, although it lost the islands of Chios and Lesbos and the city of Phocaea to the Republic of Genoa. He was successful in re-establishing Venetian trade with Egypt by convincing Urban V to rescind his prohibition on dealing with infidels. Cornaro ordered the construction of a wing of the Doge's Palace on its side facing San Marco.

paragraph: Marco Cornaro died in the early hours of 13 January 1368. He is buried in the Basilica of San Zanipolo.

paragraph: Valdir Cruz

paragraph: Valdir Cruz (born 1952) is a Brazilian-American photographer.

paragraph: Born in Guarapuava, in the southern state of Paraná, Brazil, Cruz has lived in the United States since 1984. He currently divides his time between his studios in New York City and São Paulo. Much of his work in photography has focused on the people, architecture and landscape of Brazil.

paragraph: In 1996 Cruz was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for "Faces of the Rainforest," a project documenting the life of indigenous people in the Brazilian Rainforest. The Guggenheim Foundation further supported this project with a publication subvention award in 2000.

paragraph: Section::::Career development.

paragraph: Cruz became interested in photography in the late 1970s through George Stone’s work for "National Geographic" and began to study photography at the Germain School in 1983. He then received technical and aesthetic training from George Tice at the New School for Social Research in Manhattan. He was influenced by Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, and W. Eugene Smith. He collaborated with Tice in the authorized production of two Steichen portfolios, "Juxtapositions" (1986) and "Blue Skies" (1987) after which time he devoted his energies exclusive to his own work.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Since 1982 his photographs have been the subject of more than fifty solo exhibitions at venues including the National Arts Club, New York City; the Houston Center for Photography, Houston, TX; FotoFest International, Houston, TX; the São Paulo Museum of Art, São Paulo, Brazil; Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Brazil; the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. His work has been included in group shows at the New York Public Library, New York City; and the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY, among other institutions.

paragraph: Section::::Collections.

paragraph: Cruz’s work has been acquired by private collections and public institutions in the United States and Brazil, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The New York Public Library; the Brooklyn Museum, New York; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; the São Paulo Museum of Art, Brazil; the Museum of Archeology and Ethnology of the University of São Paulo, Brazil; the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

paragraph: Section::::Reviews and commentary.

paragraph: These photographs [in "Faces of the Rainforest"] lie halfway between anthropology and art. Halfway between may be the safest place to be today when conflicted feelings and interest in tribal people run so deep that even curiosity about their appearance can be read as exploitation … Though Cruz says he does not want to make the print speak more insistently than the subject, he will not neglect his craft, and these selenium toned black-and-whites have a lovely color and quality.

paragraph: —Vicki Goldberg

paragraph: His composition is elegant and imaginative. Nothing escapes from his attentive gaze that elaborates a visual universe based on a map of procedures that reveals pure forms and impertinent abstractions, with strange and pulsating lights. His large-format matrix registers a teeming, nearly pristine nature. One can perceive that Valdir waited patiently for the moment at which the entire improbable natural order of everyday scenes enters into revolution and explodes into the beauty of his photography. He discovers certain visible structures and creates a connection between them; he concentrates a disconcerting power in the image that excites our senses.

paragraph: —Rubens Fernandes Junior

paragraph: Promoting ecology through art, Cruz’s compendium references multiple inspirations. Audubon, John Muir, Edward Curtis and Walker Evans are touchstones. Echoes of traditional devotional imagery add an extra dimension of interpretive possibility. Rare trees, withered and gnarled, keep reaching….Themes of singularity and struggle couple with a dynamic handling of form and scale. The restrained palette concentrates the impact, increasing punch and power as Cruz imbues his mute subjects with infinite compassion. Emotion and life cry out in these sculptural images, evocatively antiqued and rarified by being represented in black and white. Cruz captures monumentally the “eyeless thing” staring at us.

paragraph: For anyone looking at Valdir Cruz's beautiful, silvery photographs of the remote Indians of the Amazon rain forests, it is difficult to shake the notion that they are images of ghosts populating ghost towns…. For the Brazilian-born Mr. Cruz, whose earlier successes as a portraitist centered on the famous—the likes of Henry Kissinger and Spike Lee—it was this sense of something unknown to the world and rapidly slipping away that lured him from his home and studio on West 14th Street into the rain forest. But in the process, what started as a simple project to photograph rain-forest leaders has become a remarkable artistic and now humanitarian obsession for Mr. Cruz.

paragraph: —Randy Kennedy

paragraph: For New York-based photographer Valdir Cruz, the view camera is an instrument for disclosure and interpretation, not simply a means of exposure and recording. Through an increasingly complex series of photographic studies, Cruz demonstrates the commitment of a cultural anthropologist and the patience of an artist. Cruz's work is distinguished by its observant and unaffected pictorialism, clarity of vision, and the high achievement of the printed image itself.

paragraph: Leo Loeb

paragraph: Leo Loeb (September 21, 1869 – December 28, 1959), was an American physician, educator, and experimental pathologist.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Loeb, son of a Jewish family from the German Eifel region, was born in 1869 in Mayen, Prussia. He was orphaned as a child and grew up in the care of an uncle. Because of ill health, Leo was educated in schools that were located in German "spa" towns. As a teenager, he enrolled at the University of Heidelberg, but his tenure there was short. Indeed, over the succeeding couple of years, he spent only brief periods at several universities, in Berlin, Freiburg, and Basel, unable to focus his interests. Finally, in 1890, Loeb entered the University of Zurich Medical School. This time he remained in place, except for external sojourns to Edinburgh, London, and the United States for external clinical experiences. Leo received his M.D. in 1897. For his senior thesis, he had done research on skin transplantation in animals; that experience, combined with the influence of his older brother, Jacques, who was a physiologist, led Loeb to decide to pursue a career in experimental medicine.

paragraph: His brother had a teaching position at the University of Chicago, and Leo moved to that city from Europe after completing his medical degree. Following a brief period of practicing clinical medicine—which he disliked—Loeb took a position as a lecturer at the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois) and the University of Chicago. At those institutions, he taught experimental methodology, and, at intervals, was also a visiting scholar at Johns Hopkins University. Loeb became interested in blood coagulation and the growth properties of malignant cells. As an outgrowth of the latter topic, Loeb developed the cell culture technique as applied to both normal and abnormal tissues.

paragraph: Loeb was next asked to join the faculty at McGill University in Montreal; however, that posting lasted only one year because of his inability to acclimatize himself to the harsh Canadian winter. He moved to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 1903, beginning a series of important experiments on the influence on cancer growth by reproductive hormones. In 1907, Loeb published a study which showed that breast carcinoma in mice could be hereditary, as it is now known to be in some human cases.

paragraph: Section::::Career at Washington University.

paragraph: By 1910, Loeb had acquired a national reputation for his work on cancer. He was invited to become the director of the Barnard Free Skin & Cancer Hospital in St. Louis, a center that was attached to Washington University. This was a novel institution, in that its emphasis was on clinical "research", even though Barnard was indeed a hospital for humans. Over the succeeding several years, Loeb showed clearly that the growth of certain epithelial malignancies in animals could be modulated by removal of the ovaries. That work predated clinical application of the same concept in human breast cancer by several decades.

paragraph: In 1915, Loeb was appointed as professor of comparative pathology at Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM). Having long deferred a family life to concentrate on his research, he finally married Dr. Georgiana Sands (another physician) in 1922, at the age of 53. She became not only his spouse, but also his scientific, administrative, and literary partner for the remainder of their lives together. In 1924, Loeb was given the chairmanship of pathology at WUSM; thereafter, he continued his work on tissue transplantation and cell culture, as well as research on endocrine disease. Loeb was known as a patient, kind, and helpful mentor to younger colleagues in the department.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement and death.

paragraph: Loeb retired from doing active research in 1941, at the age of 72. From then on, he concentrated on the "meaning" of his findings in an increasingly existential context. This train of thought was reflected in another publication, in 1945, of a book entitled "The Biological Basis of Individuality". Loeb proposed three levels of human thought-- "hypnosuggestion;" "reasoning thought;" and "thoughts and interests represented by problems of philosophy and science."

paragraph: Loeb and his wife remained in St. Louis until his death at the age of 90 in 1959.

paragraph: Calico Jack

paragraph: John Rackham (26 December 1682 – 18 November 1720), commonly known as Calico Jack, was an English pirate captain operating in the Bahamas and in Cuba during the early 18th century. His nickname was derived from the calico clothing that he wore, while Jack is a nickname for "John".

paragraph: Rackham was active towards the end (1718–1720) of the "Golden Age of Piracy" which lasted from 1650 to 1730. He is most remembered for having two female crew members: Mary Read and his lover, Anne Bonny.

paragraph: Rackham deposed Charles Vane from his position as captain of the sloop "Ranger", then cruised the Leeward Islands, Jamaica Channel and Windward Passage. He accepted a pardon in 1719 and moved to New Providence, where he met Anne Bonny, who was married to James Bonny at the time. He returned to piracy in 1720 by stealing a British sloop and Anne joined him. Their new crew included Mary Read, who was disguised as a man at the time. After a short run, Rackham was captured by Royal Navy pirate hunter Jonathan Barnet in 1720, put on trial by Sir Nicholas Lawes, Governor of Jamaica, and was hanged in November of that year in Port Royal, Jamaica.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Little is known of Rackham's upbringing or early life, except for the fact that he was English and born around the year 1682. The first record of him is as quartermaster on Charles Vane's brigantine "Ranger" in 1718, operating out of New Providence island in the Bahamas, which was a notorious base for pirates known as the "Pirates' republic". Vane and his crew robbed several ships outside New York City, then encountered a large French man-of-war. The ship was at least twice as large as Vane's brigantine, and it immediately pursued them. Vane commanded a retreat from battle, claiming caution as his reason. Jack Rackham quickly spoke up and contested the decision, suggesting that they fight the man-of-war because it would have plenty of riches. In addition, he argued, if they captured the ship, it would place a much larger ship at their disposal. Of the approximately ninety-one men on the ship, only fifteen supported Vane in his decision. Vane declared that the captain's decision is considered final, however, despite the overwhelming support for Rackham's cry to fight, they fled the man-of-war.

paragraph: On 24 November 1718, Rackham called a vote in which the men branded Vane a coward and removed him from the captaincy, making Calico Jack the next captain. Rackham gave Vane and his fifteen supporters, the other ship in the fleet, along with a decent supply of ammunition and goods.

paragraph: Section::::Captain Rackham.

paragraph: Rackham made a career of plundering small vessels close to shore once he became captain. He and his crew captured the "Kingston", a small Jamaican vessel, and made it their flagship. They made several conquests in the West Indies, taking a couple of large ships off of Bermuda.

paragraph: In 1719, Rackham sailed into Nassau in the Bahamas, taking advantage of a general amnesty for pirates to obtain a royal pardon and commission from Governor Woodes Rogers. Rogers had been sent to the Bahamas to address the problem of pirates in the Caribbean who had started to attack and steal from British ships.

paragraph: In December, he captured the merchant ship "Kingston". The "Kingston" had a rich cargo, and promised to be a big score for Rackham and his crew. Unfortunately for him, the "Kingston" had been taken within sight of Port Royal, where outraged merchants outfitted bounty hunters to go after him. They caught up with him in February 1719, while his ship and the "Kingston" were anchored at Isla de los Pinos off of Cuba. Rackham and most of his men were on shore at the time, and they escaped capture by hiding in the woods—but their ship and rich trophy were taken away.

paragraph: Captain Charles Johnson describes how Rackham stole a sloop in his seminal 1724 book "A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates". Rackham and his men were at a town in Cuba refitting their small sloop when a Spanish warship charged with patrolling the Cuban coast entered the harbour, along with a small English sloop which they had captured. The Spanish warship saw the pirates but could not get at them at low tide, so they anchored in the harbour entrance to wait for morning. That night, Rackham and his men rowed over to the captured English sloop and overpowered the Spanish guards there. As dawn broke, the warship began blasting Rackham's old ship, now empty, as Rackham and his men silently sailed past in their new prize.

paragraph: Rackham and his men made their way back to Nassau, where they appeared before Governor Rogers and asked for the royal pardon, claiming that Vane had forced them to become pirates. Rogers hated Vane and chose to believe them, granting them the pardon and allowing them to stay. Their time as honest men, however, did not last long.

paragraph: Section::::Anne Bonny.

paragraph: While in port, Rackham began an affair with Anne Bonny, wife of sailor James Bonny, who was employed by Governor Rogers. James Bonny learned about the relationship and brought Anne to Governor Rogers, who ordered her whipped on charges of adultery. Rackham offered to buy Anne in a "divorce by purchase," but her husband sternly refused. This caused Anne to flee Nassau and run away with Rackham. The pair (with a new crew) escaped to sea together, voiding Rackham's pardon, by stealing a sloop belonging to John Ham. They sailed the Caribbean for two months, taking over other pirate ships. Rackham would often invite the crew of ships that he attacked to join his own. Anne became pregnant and went to Cuba to have the child.

paragraph: Section::::Capture, trial and death.

paragraph: In September 1720, the Bahamas' Governor Woodes Rogers had issued a proclamation declaring Rackham and his crew pirates—although it was not published until October 1720. After publication of the warrant, pirate hunter Jonathan Barnet and former pirate Jean Bonadvis started in pursuit of Rackham, who was cruising near Jamaica capturing numerous small fishing vessels and terrorizing fishermen along the northern Jamaican coastline.

paragraph: Rackham had come across a small vessel crewed by nine English pirates, and they joined Rackham on his ship for a bout of drinking while at anchor, during which they became intoxicated at Dry Harbour Bay in Jamaica, October 1720. Barnet's sloop attacked Rackham's ship and captured it after a fight presumably led by Mary Read and Anne Bonny. Rackham and his crew were brought to Spanish Town, Jamaica, in November 1720, where they were tried and convicted of piracy and sentenced to be hanged.

paragraph: Rackham was executed in Port Royal on 18 November 1720, his body then gibbeted on display on a very small islet at a main entrance to Port Royal now known as Rackham's Cay.

paragraph: Section::::Fate of his crew.

paragraph: Anne Bonny and Mary Read both claimed to be pregnant at their trials, ten days after Rackham's execution, and so were given a temporary stay until the claim was proven. Read died in April 1721, most likely of fever related to childbirth. There is no historical record of Bonny's release or of her execution.

paragraph: George Fetherston (Master), Richard Corner (Quarter-Master), John Davis, and John Howell were executed along with Jack Rackham in Port Royal. Patrick Carty, Thomas Earl, James Dobbin and Noah Harwood were executed the next day in Kingston.

paragraph: The day after Rackham's trial, former crew members John "Old Dad the Cooper" or "Fenis" Fenwick and Thomas Bourn (alias Brown) were separately tried and convicted for mutinies committed in mid-June 1720 off Hispaniola.

paragraph: Nine men who had been caught drinking with Rackham's crew (John Eaton, Edward Warner, Thomas Baker, Thomas Quick, John Cole, Benjamin Palmer, Walter Rouse, John Hanson, and John Howard) were tried and convicted on 24 January 1721. On 17 February John Eaton, Thomas Quick and Thomas Baker were executed at Gallows Point, at Port Royal, and the next day John Cole, John Howard and Benjamin Palmer, were executed at Kingston. The fate of the remaining three is unknown.

The two editions are very different, with the second edition much less accurate than the first when compared to court records. In the second edition however, no such accuracy is even attempted. In particular,the lurid details of the capture of the merchant ship the Neptune by Charles Vane in September 1718, conflicts entirely with the court records of both Charles Vane and Robert Deal, his quartermaster.

paragraph: "Translated from the corresponding article in the Italian Wikipedia"

paragraph: Domenico Cavagnari (20 July 1876, Genoa – 2 November 1966, Rome) was an Italian admiral and the Chief of Staff of the Regia Marina from 1934 until 1940. He was known in the navy as "Mingo" (the Genoese form of his name).

paragraph: After taking part to the Italo-Turkish War and World War I, in 1925 he commanded a squadron of "Esploratori" (the three units of the "Leone"-class) for a cruise in the North Sea and in the Baltic. Afterwards from 1929 to 1932 he commanded the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno.

paragraph: As Chief of Staff, he was largely responsible for the expansion and preparation of the Italian Navy in the years before World War II. Cavagnari was a proponent of a large fleet based on battleships (in his tenure, four new "Littorio"-class battleships were laid down and four older battleships were modernized) and submarines (by 1940, Italy possessed one of the largest submarine fleets of the world); he instead showed little interest in aircraft carriers and new technologies such as radar.

paragraph: After Italy joined the war on 10 June 1940, the Italian Navy's unpreparedness (highlighted in the indecisive engagement of Punta Stilo and on the Battle of Taranto, in which three battleships were heavily damaged by British torpedo-bombers) led to his dismissal. He was succeeded by Admiral Arturo Riccardi.

paragraph: James F. Walker

paragraph: James F. Walker (October 8, 1913 – February 5, 1994) was an American graphic artist, twice named to the 100 Best New Talent List by "Art in America". Walker was particularly noted for his mixed media surrealist images, which he called "magic realism." Walker was also an influential teacher. His work has been exhibited in America, as well as in Germany and in France.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Walker was born in Kirksville, Missouri, to James Franklin Walker Sr. and Mable Azalea Hunt. Walker's father was a landscape artist and an early influence, and his brother is also an artist. Walker's passion for art evolved over his lifetime into a career as artist and teacher. He studied at the University of Iowa in Iowa City receiving a BFA. He then moved to New York City, where he studied at the American Artists School and at the studio of Nahum Tschacbasov. His work was influenced by Tschacbasov's surrealist images.

paragraph: Walker joined the army in 1941, serving in the Aleutian Islands until 1945. During the war, he married Leona Buchanan. They had one child, Joy Walker Hall. After World War II, he returned to the University of Iowa for an MA in art history and an MFA in studio printmaking. At that time, he studied under Mauricio Lasansky, considered "one of the fathers of twentieth-century American printmaking." Lasansky had brought his printmaking skills and techniques from Stanley William Hayter's New York Atelier 17 to the University of Iowa School of Art and History (1945–1986). "If there is such a thing as a printmaking capital of the U.S., it could well be the Department of Graphic Arts at the State University of Iowa in Iowa City."

paragraph: After an interval teaching art in Kansas, Walker took a teaching position at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1954–1959). While at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, "Art in America" twice named him to the 100 Best New Talent List, 1956 and 1959.

paragraph: Many years later, Santa Fe artist Lorraine Dickinson remembered her time in Walker's drawing and collage classes at the School of the Art Institute. Her work was "all in the representational mode," she said. "I didn't get into abstract until I studied with James F. Walker in Chicago. He was determined that we were all going to stop painting traditionally. It was like pulling teeth but I finally got it. A few times I tried to revert back to representational, but I get so bored with it."

paragraph: In 1960, Walker accepted a teaching position at Arlington High School and later at Elk Grove High School, both in Northwest Suburban High School District 214. When interviewed by the Arlington High School newspaper, "The Cardinal", Walker explained his philosophy of education: "The art department isn't run especially for the talented student, but rather to enrich the cultural background for all students." He retired from teaching in 1975 and moved with his family to Gravette, Arkansas, where he continued to work as an artist until his death in 1994.

paragraph: Richard Calisch, division head of English and Fine Arts at Elk Grove High School said, "[Walker] was that special combination who had his own career and was also a fine teacher. The kids loved him."

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Walker's work builds on the legacy of his teacher, Mauricio Lasansky. Walker combines a spectrum of Lasansky's graphic techniques, including collage, monoprints, aquatint, pencil, brush, rubbings, etchings, and silkscreen. All combinations of these techniques appear in Walker's work.

paragraph: In a statement to the Chicago Society of Artists, Walker described his own work:

paragraph: My paintings project my intense concern for, and interest in, the nature of texture surfaces within the context of meticulously rendered forms, revealing the essence of Magic Realism, a microscopic view of every infinitesimal area upon the canvas.

paragraph: As he said to a reporter from "Algonquin Life", an Algonquin, Illinois, community newspaper,

paragraph: A good artist paints what he sees, lives, thinks, and feels, although his finished product may not have the slightest congruency to what the ordinary person visualizes. In other words, he doesn't invent pictures—he portrays impressions—again, by what he sees, how he thinks, how he feels. The mistake that a young art student continues to make is this example: the country boy treks to the big city to attend art school. He decides that now he must paint with sophistication—rejecting all of his past association with country life, the hills, the trees, the farm animals, etc. This is a mistake.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Walker's "L.H. Double O.Q.".

paragraph: Walker is perhaps best known for "L.H. Double O.Q.," often referred to as his "Eisenhower Mona Lisa", although Wide World Photos referred to it as "Ike the Enigma." "L.H. Double O.Q." won the Award for Collage, Casein, and Drawing in the 1964 Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago and Vicinity Show. It is a satirical image of one of America's greatest heroes. His painting is a reference to Marcel Duchamp's 1919 painting "L.H.O.O.Q." In this work, Duchamp simply painted a mustache and beard onto a postcard reproduction of the "Mona Lisa." Walker went further.

paragraph: Walker's painting—probably his most famous and controversial work—caused a media stir. It was a satirical portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower in drag with a Mona Lisa smile.

paragraph: The big hit or most popular outrage, if you prefer—at this year's exhibit is a picture starkly titled, "L.H. Double O.Q." It has the smiling face of President Eisenhower in a Mona Lisa pose, complete with headdress. A pair of false teeth floats in the sky. Somebody's antique hands—not Ike's—are in repose.

paragraph: A standalone photo in the "Chicago Daily Defender" called it "a 'kooky' portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower in a Mona Lisa pose…" According to a caption from UPI Telephotos, Walker "titled it "L.H. Double O.Q." for what was 'no special reason at all.'" Wide World Photos and UPI Telephotos broadcast photos of "L.H. Double O.Q." to the world. Opinions on the piece fell roughly into two categories: "I like Ike," or "I don't like Ike."

paragraph: Section::::From the critics.

paragraph: "I found James Walker's collage, "Creation of Eve", particularly good with its curious integration of old objects and new movement."

paragraph: Section::::Collections.

paragraph: Walker's works are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Kansas Friends of Art, University of Iowa, and numerous private collections. Three pieces by Walker are in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago: "Pygmalion" (1950), "Birds in a Landscape" (1952), and "Landscape" (1961).
