paragraph: Carlo Bisiach

paragraph: Carlo Bisiach (1892–1968) was a violin maker born in Milan Italy. Bisiach’s work contributed to the rebirth of violin making in the region after the difficult times of World War I and World War II.

paragraph: After working with his father Leandro in Milan, Carlo established himself at Florence in 1926. The most talented of Leandro’s sons, Carlo went on to develop his own style quite separate from the Antoniazzi-derived work of his father and brothers.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Carlo Bisiach was born in Milan on 9 March 1892 and died on 23 April 1968.

paragraph: The son and student of Leandro Bisiach, descendant of the Cremonese school, he began studying the art of stringed-instrument making in the early years of his life. In 1922, after marrying Daria Guidi in Sienna, he moved to Florence. They first lived in via della Spada; later they moved to via San Zanobi, and in 1929 to via Puccinotti. Here Bisiach lived for the rest of his life.

paragraph: As a young man, Carlo studied cello with Giovanni Buti and for a time seriously considered a career as a performer.

paragraph: At the outbreak of World War I, lived most of that time abroad (away from Italy).

paragraph: It is during this time that he studied the art of bowmaking in the Paris workshop of Eugene Sartory, working side by side with Andre Vigneron (1881–1924) who was to become one of the outstanding bowmakers of his time.

paragraph: His instruments, though few in number, are constructed of top quality material and have perfect sound. After completing the construction of the instrument, he would leave it for up to two years before going on to the varnishing. This precision made him famous worldwide. He is particularly well known for the quality of his varnish and the technique used to apply it onto the instruments.

paragraph: "Unlike many modern makers, Carlo did not attempt to develop his own model. He was convinced that the classical masters of the 17th & 18th centuries had brought the violin to the peak of its formal and sonorous beauty and he was content to emulate them in so far as it was possible for him to do so. Among the makers whose works he copied were of course Stradivari, often the early Strad Amatise types, Guarneri Del Gesu, G.B. Guadagnini, Januarius Gagliano, Mantegazza, Tommaso Balestrieri, Andrea Guarneri, Pietro Guarneri of Mantua, Camillo Camilli as well as Gabrielli. But the model he admired most, both for its designing and tonal characteristics was that of Pietro Guarneri."

paragraph: According to top experts, he is considered the best of the Bisiach family.

paragraph: Among his awards is a Gold Medal at XIII Exhibition, Padua.

paragraph: Represented with four violins at the prestigious exhibition-competition of modern violin making held in Cremona in 1937 on the occasion of Stradivari's bicentenary, in 1949 he won the diploma of honour at the exhibitions mounted at The Hague and in Cremona.

paragraph: Subsequently he received numerous other prizes and recognitions.

paragraph: His instruments are distinguished by the care taken in the selection of wood and their elegance of form.

paragraph: "A number of his instruments were made of maple cut from near the root of the tree. Wood from this area is often unpredictable in its marking and occasionally has a unique figure of extraordinary beauty."

paragraph: 'Among the artists who have owned C. Bisiach instruments are Franz von Vecsey (copy of his Strad), Maestro Saito cellist of the Quartet of Tokyo, Louis Kaufman (G.B. Guadagnini model) to name a few"

paragraph: New World Record: Tarisio London 24 June 2013 Carlo Bisiach violin Florence 1922 £39,000 (US$60,240)

paragraph: Other recent auction results: Christie's NY #97 Apr-2008 Bisiach, Carlo Violin Florence, 1923 $51,400

paragraph: Section::::Quotes.

paragraph: "Though an accomplished restorer and expert, violin making was his great love, and for this skill his fame is secure. " - The Bisiach Family 1983, Philip J. Kass

paragraph: "Carlo Bisiach did not (like most modern violin makers) try to, develop his own designs. He was convinced that the masters of the classic Cremonese school of the XVII and XVIII centuries had reached the height of perfection, in terms of elegance of form and fullness and softness of sound. He chose to be inspired by the masters, principally by Stradivarius during his «Amatise» period, but also by Guarnieri del Gesu, G.B. Guadagnini, and Gennaro Gagliano. However his preferred model was that of Pietro Guarnieri of Mantua. " - Pardo Fornaciari

paragraph: "Dario II Vettori - for the construction of his instruments he uses the moulds and models from his family’s workshop, most of them originally belonging to Carlo Bisiach’s collection, once owned by Igino Sderci. The wide variety of models employed in the Vettori’s workshop is consisting of Guarneri “del Gesù”, Pietro Guarneri da Mantova, Stradivari, Carlo Bergonzi, Camillo Camilli, Balestrieri, Nicolò Gagliano, Francesco Mantegazza, Domenico Montagna, Giuseppe Guarneri “filius Andreae” and many others." - Vettori family

paragraph: "Resplended workmanship , often handsome slab backs and very fine grain for breasts , orange-red varnish. Gold medalist at various exhibitions" - Universal Dictionary by William Henley

paragraph: According to top experts, he is considered to be the best of the Bisiach family.

paragraph: Archie Carr

paragraph: Archie Fairly Carr, Jr. (June 16, 1909 – May 21, 1987) was an American herpetologist, ecologist and a pioneering conservationist. He was a Professor of Zoology at the University of Florida. In 1987 he was awarded the Eminent Ecologist Award by the Ecological Society of America. He made extraordinary contribution to sea turtle conservation by way of bringing attention to the world's declining turtle populations due to over-exploitation and loss of safe habitat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Mobile, Alabama, Carr was the son of a Presbyterian pastor, and grew up in Mobile, Fort Worth, Texas, and Savannah, Georgia. He studied zoology at the University of Florida, eventually specializing in herpetology. He further refined that interest to the study of turtles and eventually became one of the world's foremost authorities on sea turtles. He was married to Marjorie Harris Carr, a conservationist herself.

paragraph: While a student at UF, he became a member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. From UF, he received bachelor's degree in 1932, M.S. in 1934, and Ph.D. in 1937.

paragraph: He started out as a high school science teacher before becoming a college professor. He published numerous books and articles, including "Ulendo: Travels of a Naturalist in and out of Africa", "High Jungles and Low", "So Excellent a Fishe" (about his green turtles), "The Windward Road" and several Time-Life books such as "The Everglades" and "The Reptiles". He was also the author of the "Handbook of Turtles", and with , "Guide to the Reptiles, Amphibians and Freshwater Fishes of Florida". While a serious scientific and nature writer, he also had a remarkable sense of humor, which led him to publish the parody of scientific taxonomic keys - his "A Subjective Key to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida", affectionately known as the "Carr Key".

paragraph: Carr became a bit of a legend at the University of Florida, and students vied with one another to take his Community Ecology course in which they were involved in several major and minor field trips around northern Florida and southern Georgia. Listening to Carr talk about the Sand Pine scrub near Ocala or his comments as he guided students through the Okefenokee Swamp in canoes was considered a great privilege.

paragraph: Carr was also known for his efforts in conservation, especially for sea turtles, helping convince Costa Rica to establish Tortuguero National Park in 1975. He was a co-founder of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, which helps to save and monitor sea turtles in Tortuguero, Costa Rica. He was often joined in his conservation work by his wife Marjorie Carr, who was a major advocate for conservation in her own right. In 1952 Carr was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences.

paragraph: Lewis B. Schwellenbach

paragraph: Lewis Baxter Schwellenbach (September 20, 1894 – June 10, 1948) was a United States Senator from Washington, a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington and the 5th United States Secretary of Labor.

He received a Bachelor of Laws in 1917 from the University of Washington School of Law. He was an assistant instructor at the University of Washington from 1916 to 1917. He entered service during World War I as a Private in the 12th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in 1918 until his discharge as a Corporal in 1919. He was admitted to the bar and entered private practice in Seattle, Washington from 1919 to 1935. He was an unsuccessful candidate for nomination for Governor of Washington in 1932.

paragraph: Section::::Congressional service.

paragraph: Schwellenbach was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate and served from January 3, 1935, to December 16, 1940, when he resigned.

paragraph: Section::::Federal judicial service.

paragraph: Schwellenbach was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 6, 1940, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington vacated by Judge J. Stanley Webster. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 6, 1940, and received his commission on November 20, 1940.

paragraph: Section::::Secretary of Labor.:Events of Schwellenbach's tenure as Secretary.

paragraph: During Schwellenbach's tenure as Secretary, fear of post war unemployment brought the United States Congress to pass the Employment Act of 1946, which made promotion of maximum employment the Nation's top priority. Schwellenbach promoted abolition of war time wage and price controls. He had to deal with a post war wave of strikes. The Republican 80th United States Congress passed the Taft–Hartley Act. Staff cuts were made at the United States Department of Labor. The Conciliation Service was removed from the Department of Labor and established as the independent Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). During his term, the Department's international work was institutionalized; the Office of International Labor Affairs (now the Bureau of International Labor Affairs) was established as a unit in the Office of the Secretary.

paragraph: Giuseppe Prina

paragraph: Count Giuseppe Prina (20 July 1766 in Novara – 20 April 1814) was an Italian statesman killed in the Milan riots of 1814.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Prina gave early evidence of his rare talent. After studying at the University of Pavia, he became a doctor of law in 1789. He worked in his native town, Novara, for some years as a lawyer.

paragraph: From 1791 he was appointed with different charges in the Piedmontese administration of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

paragraph: In the first years of the French invasion of Piedmont, Prina refused any collaboration with the French, but after the battle of Marengo, he returned to public life. Napoleon Bonaparte appointed Prina Minister of Finance first in 1802 for the Italian Republic and then in 1805 for the new Kingdom of Italy.

paragraph: Genial in private life, he was harsh and unyielding in his official capacity. His singular skill in devising fresh taxes to meet the enormous demands of Napoleon's government made him the most-hated man in Lombardy. This was further intensified because he was a Piedmontese and he was regarded as a foreigner.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Murder.

paragraph: The news of the emperor's forced abdication on 11 April 1814 reached Milan on the 16th, and raised hopes of Italian independence. The Senate assembled on 19 April and Prina's party suggested that delegates should be despatched to Vienna to request that Eugene Beauharnais be raised to the throne of a free Italian kingdom. In spite of precautions, the suggestion became public and provoked the formidable riot called the "battle of the umbrellas". A furious mob burst into the senate on 20 April 1814, pillaged its halls and searched for Prina. Not finding him there, the rioters rushed to his house, which they wrecked, and seized the doomed minister, who was discovered in a remote chamber donning a disguise. Over the course of four hours, the angry rioters dragged him about the town, until wounded, mutilated, almost torn to pieces, Prina received his death-blow.

paragraph: The mob then insulted his miserable remains, stuffing stamped paper into his mouth. These indignities were enacted by day, in a thoroughfare crowded with citizens sheltered from the rain by umbrellas. The authorities were passive, and although some courageous persons actually rescued the victim at an early stage and concealed him in a friendly house, the mob soon discovered his refuge and were about to force an entrance, when the dying man surrendered to save his saviors' property. The riots and murder directly contributed to the re-establishment of Austrian rule in Milan.

paragraph: Hugh le Despencer (justiciar)

paragraph: Hugh le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer (1223 – 4 August 1265) was an important ally of Simon de Montfort during the reign of Henry III. He served briefly as "Justiciar" of England in 1260 and as Constable of the Tower of London.

paragraph: Oxford. In 1260 the barons chose him to succeed Hugh Bigod as Justiciar, and

paragraph: in 1263 the king was further compelled to put the Tower of London in his hands.

paragraph: He was the son of Hugh le Despenser and was summoned to Parliament by Simon de Montfort.

paragraph: Hugh was summoned as Lord Despencer Dec. 14, 1264 and was Chief Justiciar of England and a leader of the baronial party, and so might be deemed a baron, though the legality of that assembly is doubtful. He remained allied with Montfort to the end, and was present at the Battle of Lewes. He was killed fighting on de Montfort's side at the Battle of Evesham in August, 1265. He was slain by Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore; this caused a feud to begin between the Despencer and the Mortimer families.

paragraph: By his wife, Aline Bassett, he was father of Hugh Despenser 'the elder', Earl of Winchester. Aline was the daughter of Philip Basset, who had also served as Justiciar. They also had a daughter named Eleanor le Despencer, who married Sir Hugh de Courtenay, feudal baron of Okehampton.

paragraph: Hugh Despenser the elder

paragraph: Hugh le Despenser (1 March 126127 October 1326), sometimes referred to as "the Elder Despenser," was for a time the chief adviser to King Edward II of England.

paragraph: Section::::Ancestry.

paragraph: He was the son of Hugh le Despencer (justiciar), and Aline Basset, only daughter and heiress of Philip Basset. His father was killed at the Battle of Evesham when Hugh was just a boy, but Hugh's patrimony was saved through the influence of his maternal grandfather (who had been loyal to the king). He married Isabella de Beauchamp, daughter of William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick and Maud FitzJohn.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He served Edward I on numerous occasions in battle and in diplomacy and was created a baron by writ of summons to Parliament in 1295. His son, Hugh Despenser the Younger, became a favourite of Edward II, in what is rumoured to be a homosexual relationship. Hugh the Elder was loyal to his son and the King, which worried the barons. To that time, his highest office was justice of the forests.

paragraph: He was one of the few barons to remain loyal to Edward during the controversy regarding Piers Gaveston. Despenser became Edward's loyal servant and chief administrator after Gaveston was executed in 1312, but the jealousy of other barons—and, more importantly, his own corruption and unjust behaviour—led to his being exiled along with his son Hugh Despenser the younger in 1321, when Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent replaced him as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.

paragraph: Edward found it difficult to manage without them, and recalled them to England a year later, an action which enraged the queen, Isabella, the more so when Despenser was created Earl of Winchester in 1322. Although with not as bad a reputation as his son's, Despenser the Elder was accused by a significant number of people of widespread criminality during the next few years, often involving false accusations of trespass or theft and the extortion of money or land.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: When Isabella, Queen of England, and her lover, Roger Mortimer, led a rebellion against her husband Edward, they captured both Despensers—first the elder, later the younger. Queen Isabella interceded for Hugh the elder, but his enemies, notably Roger Mortimer and Henry, Earl of Lancaster, insisted both father and son should face trial and execution.

paragraph: The elder Despenser was hung immediately in his armor at Bristol on 27 October 1326. He was then beheaded and his body cut into pieces for the dogs. His head was sent for display to Winchester, which had supported the king. His Winchester title was forfeit, not to be revived until 1472.

paragraph: Following his death, pardons were issued to thousands of people who had been falsely accused by Despenser.

paragraph: Richard Wingfield

paragraph: Sir Richard Wingfield of Kimbolton Castle (c. 1469 – 22 July 1525) was an influential courtier and diplomat in the early years of the Tudor dynasty of England.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born at Letheringham, Suffolk to Sir John Wingfield (c. 1428 – 10 May 1481) and his wife Elizabeth FitzLewis (c. 1431-1497).

paragraph: In 1514, Wingfield was sent to the Netherlands in order to attempt the arrangement of a marriage between Archduke Charles of Austria and Princess Mary Tudor of England, to secure a dynastic alliance between the Tudors and the rising Habsburgs. But Wingfield's mission failed, and Mary Tudor was married to Louis XII of France in 1514. Wingfield was also occupied in discharging his duties at Calais, but in 1519 he resigned his post there and returned to England.

For his services Wingfield was granted lands throughout the Kingdom of England, notably Kimbolton Castle which was further expanded by him.

paragraph: In 1525 Wingfield was sent by Henry VIII on a mission to the Spanish court at Toledo. He died there on 22 July 1525 and was buried at the church of San Juan de los Reyes. His widow was later married first to Sir Nicholas Harvey of Ickworth and secondly to Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby.

paragraph: Augusta Déjerine-Klumpke

paragraph: Augusta Déjerine-Klumpke (15 October 1859 – 5 November 1927) was an American-born French medical doctor known for her work in neuroanatomy. She was the first female intern to work in a hospital in Paris.

paragraph: From a young age, Klumpke's family was supportive of her medical ambitions, going as far as to move to Paris so she and her sisters Anna Elizabeth Klumpke, Julia Klumpke, and Dorothea Klumpke could follow their pursuits. Despite facing scorn for being a woman in the medical field, she continued working on her medical studies both inside and outside the classroom, going as far as to work at laboratories at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. She eventually went on to gain a reputation for her skills in the medical field and linguistically being able to speak both English and German. This led to her, along with Blanche Edwards-Pillet, being the first women externs in Paris Hospitals.

paragraph: During this time period, she explained what is today called Klumpke paralysis, or an injury to the nerves controlling arm movement. She worked under Alfred Vulpian, the dean at her former medical school who had opposed her attending medical school since she was both a woman and quite young at the time.

paragraph: During her life, her name appeared in fifty-six articles, some of which she had written herself. She also co-authored a two-volume book on the anatomy of nerve centers called "Anatomie des Centres Nerveux" with her husband Joseph Jules Dejerine. Klumpke was a member of several scientific societies, including the Société de Biologie (being the first elected female member) and the Société de Neurologie de Paris. She was given awards for her discoveries as well, including Officier de la Légion d'honneur and Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur.

Beijing), who was a mathematician in China and the then Chair of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University. After graduation, Fan became a teaching assistant in the department.

paragraph: Fan went to France in 1939 and received his D.Sc. degree from the University of Paris in 1941. Fan's doctoral advisor was M.R.Fréchet. Fan was a research fellow at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

paragraph: Fan was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton from 1945 to 1947. In 1947, Fan joined the mathematical faculty of the University of Notre Dame, where he was an assistant professor at the beginning, and later promoted to associate professor and full professor. In 1960, Fan also held a position at Wayne State University in Detroit for about one year, but immediately went to Northwestern University near Chicago. In 1965, Fan became a professor of mathematics at UCSB.

paragraph: Fan was elected an Academician of the Academia Sinica (Taipei, Taiwan) in 1964. He served as the director of the Institute of Mathematics there from 1978 to 1984.

paragraph: In 1999, Fan and his wife Yan Youfen (燕又芬) donated one million US dollars to the American Mathematical Society, to set up the "Ky and Yu-Fen Fan Endowment".

paragraph: Fan had 23 graduate students. He died in Santa Barbara in March 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Academic career.

paragraph: Fan was a student and collaborator of M. Fréchet and was also influenced by John von Neumann and Hermann Weyl. The author of approximately 130 papers, Fan made fundamental contributions to operator and matrix theory, convex analysis and inequalities, linear and nonlinear programming, topology and fixed point theory, and topological groups. His work in fixed point theory, in addition to influencing nonlinear functional analysis, has found wide application in mathematical economics and game theory, potential theory, calculus of variations, and differential equations.

paragraph: The following are named after him:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ky Fan norms

paragraph: John Raymond Henry

paragraph: John Raymond Henry (born 1943) is an internationally renowned sculptor. Since 1971, Henry has produced many monumental and large-scaled works of art for museums, cities and public institutions across the United States, Europe, and Asia. He has created some of the largest contemporary metal sculpture ( high) in the United States, and his sculpture is designed, engineered, fabricated, and erected by his own studio in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

paragraph: Henry's sculpture has been described as huge welded steel drawings. He arranges linear and rectilinear elements that appear to defy gravity and float. Many suggest a moment of arrested motion where flying or tumbling elements are frozen. There is a simple elegance and an unexpected sense of immediacy and lightness in his work.

paragraph: Henry was a founding member of ConStruct, an artist-owned gallery that promoted and organized large-scale sculpture exhibitions throughout the United States. Other founding members include Mark di Suvero, Kenneth Snelson, Lyman Kipp, and Charles Ginnever. Henry continues to curate exhibitions in the United States and in Europe, drawing on his nationally recognized expertise regarding sculptors and their work. He was also Chairman Emeritus of the International Sculpture Center and on the board of YoungArts in Miami for 25+ years.

paragraph: Jonathan Talbot

paragraph: Jonathan Talbot, (born November 14, 1939) is an American collage artist, painter, and printmaker. He also is the creator of an innovative collage technique that eliminates liquid adhesives from the collage assembly process. His technique is the subject of his book, "Collage: A New Approach".

paragraph: Talbot's works have been exhibited at The National Academy and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His artwork has represented the United States in exhibitions sponsored by the U. S. State Department as well as by the Smithsonian Institution. His works are included in permanent museum collections in United States, Canada, and Europe. His studio is in Warwick, New York.

paragraph: Every year Talbot schedules workshops that he conducts for artists who wish to study collage, his techniques, and related subjects. They are hosted at various locations around the United States and some are free exhibits sponsored by local organizations.

paragraph: Talbot is best known for his collages and multi-dimensional collage-constructions, as well as, for his oils, watercolors, and etchings.

paragraph: Section::::Biography to 1970.

paragraph: Talbot is the son of artist, Helen Talbot, who exhibited in New York in the early 1930s, and he was raised on a family farm in upstate New York in Putnam County.

paragraph: A youthful portrait of Jonathan Talbot was painted by the noted artist and illustrator, Arthur Lidov,  and it appeared on the cover of the December 1947 issue of "The American Mercury" magazine. Shortly thereafter Talbot was enrolled in the Hessian Hills School founded by Elizabeth Moos, a notably progressive school in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, where the educational focus was on the arts.

paragraph: He spent many summers during the 1950s living in the village of Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard, an island which at that time, was the summer home of many artists and members of the creative arts. Painter Thomas Hart Benton, lyricist E. Y. "Yip" Harburg, the author of "Brother Can you Spare a Dime", and Peter Coyote, who would become an actor, were among the influences upon Talbot's early artistic efforts.

paragraph: Talbot's first creative efforts were in music. A self-taught musician, Talbot's musical career included performances at Carnegie Hall and Fillmore East as well as numerous other 1960s venues. He recorded two albums as leader of the "New York Electric String Ensemble", one for ESP-Disk and one for Columbia Records.

paragraph: In 1970 he married Marsha Goldstein, moved to San Francisco, and turned his talents toward the visual arts.

paragraph: Section::::Visual arts career begins.

paragraph: After a brief period studying etching at the San Francisco Academy of Art, Talbot started to exhibit and sell his works, at first, limited to etchings and paintings. Talbot belonged to the San Francisco Artists Cooperative, which was a branch of the Art Students League of San Francisco and also sold his works on street corners near Fisherman's Wharf.

paragraph: Within a few years, Talbot and his wife moved to Los Angeles. Later, making a return to the east coast, they moved to New Jersey where he maintained studios in Morristown, Montville, and South Orange. While in New Jersey, Talbot exhibited his works at the renowned professional and community art associations, the outdoor art shows, and the regional galleries that flourished within the preeminent New York metropolitan art market.

paragraph: During 1973 the Talbots relocated to Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania following the birth of their first child. They have two children, Loren and Garret.

paragraph: Section::::Solo shows begin.

paragraph: 1973 is the year of Jonathan Talbot's first important solo show, which took place at the Friendship Library of Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison. His next solo show also was held in Madison, at Drew University during 1974.

paragraph: Section::::Representation at New York galleries and museums.

paragraph: Talbot first showed his work in New York at Associated American Artists—"AAA"—as it is known internationally, during early 1975. This is the same year when an etching of Talbot's was included in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In May of that year, the Talbots moved to Warwick in Orange County, New York, to be closer to the galleries in Manhattan that were exhibiting his work. Between 1975 and 1981 Talbot sold etchings through numerous galleries around the United States, as well.

paragraph: In 1981 his works were included in exhibitions at the Schenectady Museum, The Albany Institute of History and Art, and at the National Academy of Design in New York.

paragraph: Section::::National Academy of Design award.

paragraph: A painting by Jonathan Talbot, ""Waterfront Buildings, Troy, New York"", was awarded the National Academy's Ranger Fund Purchase Award in 1982. Through the fund, the painting awards jury of the academy selects one painting to honor among their exhibition and the recipient is announced at its annual awards ceremony. The painting is purchased from the artist and donated to a nationally-recognized museum, also selected by the awards committee.

paragraph: This award is intended to encourage public interest in American painters and it plays a crucial role in building the American collections of many public art institutions.

paragraph: About this time Talbot met the veteran collage artist, Roderick Slater,  who encouraged him to begin experimenting with the medium of collage. This influence led him to the art form that has become his most significant.

paragraph: Section::::Museum solo shows begin.

paragraph: 1984 is the year of Talbot's first solo museum exhibitions. ""The Collages of Jonathan Talbot"" was held at the Everhart Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania in May and ""The World of Jonathan Talbot"" was held at The Byer Museum of the Arts in Evanston, Illinois in September.

paragraph: Section::::New York solo shows begin.

paragraph: In 1986 Talbot had his first of four solo shows at the Gimpel and Weitzenhoffer Gallery in Manhattan —the others followed in 1987, 1990, and 1992. Talbot also showed extensively at other venues during that period.

paragraph: In 1998 Talbot's fifth solo exhibition in New York, ""Collages from the Flamenco Series"" was held at Joseph Rickards Gallery. This is also the year that the first edition of Talbot's book, "Collage: A New Approach", was published, which is still available through Amazon Books.

paragraph: Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj

paragraph: Abū al-Ḥusayn ‘Asākir ad-Dīn Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj ibn Muslim ibn Ward ibn Kawshādh al-Qushayrī an-Naysābūrī (; after 815 – May 875) or Muslim Nīshāpūrī (), commonly known as Imam Muslim, Islamic scholar, particularly known as a "muhaddith" (scholar of hadith). His hadith collection, known as "Sahih Muslim", is one of the six major hadith collections in Sunni Islam and is regarded as one of the two most authentic ("sahih") collections, alongside "Sahih al-Bukhari".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj was born in the town of Nishapur in the Abbasid province of Khorasan, in present-day northeastern Iran. Historians differ as to his date of birth, though it is usually given as 202 AH (817/818), 204 AH (819/820), or 206 AH (821/822).

paragraph: Adh-Dhahabi said, "It is said that he was born in the year 204 AH," though he also said, "But I think he was born before that."

paragraph: Ibn Khallikan could find no report of Muslim's date of birth, or age at death, by any of the "ḥuffāẓ" (hadith masters), except their agreement that he was born after 200 AH (815/816). He cites Ibn as-Salah, who cites Ibn al-Bayyi`'s "Kitab `Ulama al-Amsar", that the date was 206 AH (821/822). Ibn Khallikan had acquired this work and found that Ibn as-Salah had estimated the year of birth from Muslim's age (55 hijri years) at his death in 25 Rajab 261 AH (May 875), and as reported by Ibn al-Bayyi`, agrees the date of birth was therefore 206 AH (821/822). Ibn al-Bayyi` reports he was buried in Nasarabad, a suburb of Nishapur.

paragraph: According to scholars he was of Arab or Persian origin The "nisbah" of "al-Qushayri" signifies Muslim's belonging to the Arab tribe of Banu Qushayr, members of which migrated to the newly conquered Persian territory during the expansion of the Rashidun Caliphate. A scholar named Shams al-Dīn al-Dhahabī introduced the idea that he may have been a "mawla" of Persian descent, attributed to the Qushayr tribe by way of "wala"' (alliance). An ancestor of Muslim may have been a freed slave of a Qushayri, or may have accepted Islam at the hands of a Qushayri. According to 2 other scholars, Ibn al-Athīr and Ibn al-Salāh, he was actually an Arab member of that tribe of which his family had migrated to Iran nearly two centuries earlier following the conquest

paragraph: Estimates on the number of hadiths in his books vary from 3,033 to 12,000, depending on whether duplicates are included, or only the text (isnad) is. His Sahih ("authentic") is said to share about 2000 hadiths with Bukhari's Sahih.

paragraph: The author's teachers included Harmala ibn Yahya, Sa'id ibn Mansur, Abd-Allah ibn Maslamah al-Qa'nabi, al-Dhuhali, al-Bukhari, Ibn Ma'in, Yahya ibn Yahya al-Nishaburi al-Tamimi, and others. Among his students were al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Abi Hatim al-Razi, and Ibn Khuzaymah, each of whom also wrote works on hadith. After his studies throughout the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Iraq and Syria, he settled in his hometown of Nishapur, where he met, and became a lifelong friend of, Bukhari.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Sunni scholar Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh was first to recommend Muslim's work.

paragraph: Ishaq's contemporaries did not at first accept this. Abu Zur`a al-Razi objected that Muslim had omitted too much material which Muslim himself recognised as authentic; and that he included transmitters who were weak.

paragraph: Ibn Abi Hatim (d. 327/938) later accepted Muslim as "trustworthy, one of the hadith masters with knowledge of hadith"; but this contrasts with much more fulsome praise of Abu Zur`a and also his father Abu Hatim. It is similar with Ibn al-Nadim.

paragraph: Muslim's book gradually increased in stature such that it is considered among Sunni Muslims the most authentic collections of hadith, second only to Sahih Bukhari.
