paragraph: Mark Terrill

paragraph: Mark Terrill is a well-traveled American poet, translator and prose writer who has resided in Northern Germany since the mid-1980s.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born on July 1, 1953, in Berkeley, California, Mark Terrill grew up in the unincorporated mountain community of Sky Londa in San Mateo County, south of San Francisco. After failing to complete high school, he travelled widely in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, working as a dishwasher, woodcutter, gardener, bartender, taxi driver, gravedigger, sawmill worker, deckhand and welder before finally obtaining his seaman’s papers and shipping out of San Francisco to the Far East and beyond. Back in San Francisco in the late 1970s, Terrill became involved in the local music scene, and was founding member and lead guitarist for post-punk, anti-rock band, Ugly Stick. He was executive producer of the Farmer’s debut EP, "Packed in an Urban Area", which appeared on his own label, BFM Records. He also co-starred in the film "Beer Story". In 1981, he attended a writing workshop in Tangier, Morocco, with Paul Bowles, and after extensive travels throughout Morocco and Europe, finally settled in Hamburg, Germany in 1984. Simultaneously with pursuing his literary activities, he has been employed as a shipyard welder, road manager for various rock bands (American Music Club, Mekons, etc.), cook and postal worker. He currently lives on the grounds of a former boatyard with his wife, Uta, and several cats.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: Inspired by Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac and other Beat writers, Terrill began writing in the early 1970s. His first poems appeared in "Vagabond", a small-press magazine published by John Bennett that featured the work of Charles Bukowski, Jack Micheline, D.A. Levy, Al Masarik and many others. Since then, Terrill’s writings and translations have appeared in over 700 journals and anthologies worldwide, including "City Lights Review", "Denver Quarterly", "Bombay Gin", "Skanky Possum", "Zen Monster", "Talisman", "Partisan Review", "Gargoyle", "Rattle" and others. He has published several full-length collections, chapbooks and broadsides of his poetry, prose and translations with numerous small-press publishers in the USA and Europe. A four-time Pushcart Prize nominee, his work has been translated into Portuguese, French and German. For over ten years, he was a regular contributor to "Rain Taxi Review of Books", and in 2009 he was invited to guest-edit a special German Poetry issue of the "Atlanta Review", which also featured his own translations of Peter Handke, Günter Grass, Nicolas Born, Rolf Dieter Brinkmann and many others. In addition, his translations of the poetry of Rolf Dieter Brinkmann have been assembled in two full-length book collections, along with appearing elsewhere.

paragraph: Terrill has read/performed his work in Paris at Shakespeare & Co., The Live Poets Society, Upstairs at Duroc and the American Library; in Berlin at the Poetry Hearings (2006 and 2010) and the International Slam Revue; in Prague at Shakespeare & Sons and The Globe; in Amsterdam at the Sugar Factory, Boekie Woekie and the Fiery Tongues Literary Festival. Together with the poet Cralan Kelder, he co-edits the poetry journal "Full Metal Poem", which has published work by Ron Padgett, John Wieners, Joanne Kyger, Cid Corman, Bob Arnold, F.A. Nettelbeck, Louise Landes Levi and others.

paragraph: “Mark Terrill, the true poet and ‘forlorn observer’ of the world he sees as essentially forlorn, if not absurd, if not entirely hopeless, and nothing on the end of his fork to really wax ecstatic about… But his poetry is far from hopeless. It is a hard light to alleviate the situation of the world as he sees it.” - Lawrence Ferlinghetti

paragraph: “I’ve always liked your poetry; it has a steady, stripped down rhythm to it. Little pings of microscopic truth.” - John Bennett

paragraph: Fredda Brilliant

paragraph: Fredda Brilliant (7 April 1903 – 25 May 1999) was a Polish sculptor and actress, born in Łódź, Poland.

paragraph: She worked in a variety of media and is recognized as an accomplished sculptor, writer, actor, singer and script writer. Throughout her career she traveled extensively working in England, USA, Australia, India, Poland and Russia. Brilliant sculpted some of the greatest figures of her time including Jawaharlal Nehru, V.K. Krishna Menon, Indira Gandhi, U.S. President John F Kennedy, and Buckminster Fuller. She also sculpted her husband, the writer Herbert Marshall. Her writing credits include "Biographies in Bronze" (1986), "The Black Virgin" (1986), "Women in power" (1987) and "Truth in Fiction" (1986).

paragraph: Brilliant's most famous work is a bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi which is the centerpiece of the park in Tavistock Square, London, UK.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Fredda Brilliant emigrated with her Jewish parents to Melbourne, Australia in 1924. The Brilliant family were active in Yiddish theatrical and cultural circles. During her spell in Australia she honed her acting talent and also co-founded a Melbourne Theatre, in the late 1920s she moved to New York City to embark on a career as an actress. In 1935 whilst living in Moscow she married the esteemed film-writer and lecturer, Herbert Marshall; the two remained in Russia until 1937 when they moved to London.

paragraph: In 1939 Fredda and Marshall completed the script for the socialist film, "The Proud Valley" which was released the following year. As war broke out Fredda began touring with a theatrical company and most notably appeared in the production of Robert Ardrey's 1939 anti-fascist play "Thunder Rock" alongside Michael Redgrave and then Albert Finney at The Globe in London in 1947.

paragraph: During the 1950s and early 1960s Fredda and Herbert lived in India where he lectured and made government films and she sculpted some of the most significant figures of the age including Jawaharlal Nehru, V.K Krishna Menon and Indira Gandhi. In 1966 the couple returned to the USA where he was offered a professorship in Soviet and East European studies at the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale. Other notable figures to have been sculpted by Fredda Brilliant include Buckminster Fuller, Maurice Bowra, Francis Warner and Duncan Grant.

paragraph: Section::::Sculptures.

paragraph: Fredda Brilliant received no formal artistic training and was primarily self-taught, her early work began as a child sculpting models of children in the courtyard outside her house. At first she gave them away but was later encouraged to sell them. Her early successes are quoted in an article in "Faces" magazine from 1978: 'We made enough money to buy two ice creams. One we shared, the other we gave away. So, at four years old, I learned how to be a creator, and how important it is to be a manager."

paragraph: She was keen to depict women in her work, once quoted as saying "I ask you: How many replicas of women are there about? Boadicea, the nurse Cavell. It is ridiculous, it is unfair." "It is important that women, too, are remembered. For all they do." Fredda's passion to depict women and the struggle of womanhood is no more evident than in her sculpture of Indira Gandhi.

paragraph: Other famous subjects sculpted by Brilliant included: Dr Rajendra Prasad, Pandit Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Morarji Desai, V. K. Krishna Menon, Dr Harekrushna Mahatab, S. K. Patil, G. D. Birla, Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar, the Maharaja of Baroda, Chief Justice M. C. Chagla, Sri Karmarkar, Anna Ornsholt, Muhammad Ali, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Professor R. Buckminster Fuller, Taras Shevchenko, Anton Chekhov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Sergei Eisenstein, Andrey Voznesensky, Lionel Britton, Sir Maurice Bowra, Professor Herbert Marshall, Antoni Słonimski, Lord Elwyn Jones, Dr Delyte Morris, Dr Francis Warner, Bernard Ostry, Sir Isaac Hayward, Max Meldrum, Nadia Nerina, Julian Carroll and Alban Barkley, Carl Albert, Meliyn Price, Terry-Thomas, Willy Gallagher, Tom Mann, Kay Harrison, Pera Attasheva, Professor Hyman Levy, Duncan Grant, Galina Yevtushenko, Georgi Dimitrov, Joseph Wolfing, Pavlik Morozov, and Sir John Rothenstein.

paragraph: Pablo Picasso invited Brilliant to visit him at his home and use him as a subject, but she refused when he pinched her bottom while her husband was present.

paragraph: Around fifty of her plaster models and maquettes are in the private possession of her niece. The maquette for the statue of Gandhi was shown on the BBC programme "Antiques Roadshow" in April 2013.

paragraph: Agilulf

paragraph: Agilulf ( 555 – April 616) called "the Thuringian", was a duke of Turin and king of the Lombards from 591 until his death.

paragraph: A relative of his predecessor Authari, Agilulf was selected king on the advice of the Christian queen and widow of Authari, Theodelinda, whom he then married. Although he assumed the royal dignity at the beginning of November 590, he was raised on the shield—the ceremonial investment of his title—by Lombard warriors in Milan in May 591.

paragraph: He was baptized to appease his wife and his nation followed suit, though they adopted the Arian heresy, not the Roman faith. In 603, under the influence of his wife, he abandoned Arianism for Catholicism, and had his son Adaloald baptised. He and his wife built and endowed the cathedral of Monza, where the Iron Crown of Lombardy is still preserved and where Agilulf's crown, dedicated to St John, existed (now lost) bearing the inscription "rex totius Italiae", meaning "king of all Italy", as Agilulf evidently saw himself.

paragraph: His long reign was marked by the cessation of war with Francia, whose chief peacemaker Guntram, king of Burgundy, had died in 592. Without him, the Franks descended into civil war which prevented a united assault on Lombardy throughout Agilulf's rule. A truce with the Papacy negotiated in 598 temporarily ended thirty years of Lombard terror in the "Ducatus Romanus" and he spent most of his war-making energies on the Byzantine threat. In that year, he consolidated Lombard power, extending the dominion of his kingdom by taking Sutri and Perugia among other Umbrian cities from the exarchate of Ravenna, while maintaining good relations with the Bavarians. He fought the Avars and Slavs, and entered a truce with the Byzantine emperor Maurice in 598 with the aid of Pope Gregory the Great. The following year, Exarch Callinicus broke the truce by kidnapping the travelling daughter of the Lombard king. War erupted and, in 602, the Byzantine emperor Phocas lost Padua, which Authari had cut off from Ravenna a decade prior. The loss of Padua in turn cut off Mantua and, before the year was out, that city too fell to Agilulf.

paragraph: In 607, Witteric, king of the Visigoths, initiated a quadruple alliance against Theuderic II of Burgundy involving Theudebert II of Austrasia, Clotaire II of Neustria, and Agilulf. Theuderic's grandmother and sister had murdered Theuderic's wife, the daughter of Witteric. The alliance does not seem to have had success. Nothing of any actual combat is known except that it took place, probably around Narbonne.

paragraph: In 605, he was recognized by the emperor Phocas, who paid a tribute and ceded Orvieto among other towns. The Persian Wars drew Byzantine attention to the Orient and gave respite to Agilulf's final decade on the throne. He had to put down some insurrections and the Avars did not desist from invading Friuli, where they slew its duke, Gisulf, in 610. Otherwise, his reign ended peacefully and he died in 616, after reigning for more than a quarter of a century. He was succeeded by Adaloald, his son by Theodelinda, who was still an adolescent, though he had been associated with the throne. He had a daughter Gundeberga who married Arioald who later became king.

paragraph: Giovan Battista Filippo Basile

paragraph: Giovan Battista Filippo Basile (Palermo, August 8, 1825 – June 16, 1891) was an Italian architect.

paragraph: Born to a family of humble means. From childhood, Vincenzo Tineo, an erudite horticulturalist in Palermo, recognized Basile's talent, and was able to sponsor his education, and gain him entry into the university to study physical and mathematical sciences. Basile and eventually received or won his degree in architecture, which at the time was a prize conferred through a competition. He also taught physics at university, and at the atheneum, taught descriptive geometry and its applications.

paragraph: As a young man, he published his text on "Practical Stereotomy". He continued the study of figure drawing under the painter Salvatore Lo Forte. Completed such studies, Tineo sponsored some years of study at the University of Rome (La Sapienza) in architecture. There he took courses given by Tortolini, Venturoli, and dal Cavalieri. He also attended the Accademia di San Luca, and designed under Sarti and Poletti. He also was a disciple of the engraver of antiquities, Luigi Canina, before the latter was called to occupy an honorary position at the Royal Institute of British Architects. Basile performed studies on ancient and antique art and monuments, including the temples of Fortuna Virilis, Vesta, and "Giove Tonante (Thundering Jove"), and the tombs of Bibulus and Scipio, and the ruins of Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. In this era, a number of artists from Naples and Sicily were sponsored by the public to study in Rome; among these artists were Domenico Morelli, ill Cipolla, and Francesco Di Bartolo.

paragraph: Among his works are certainly worth mentioning the "Teatro Massimo" in Palermo (completed by his son Ernesto Basile); the Neo-Gothic facade of the Acireale Cathedral; the villa Favaloro in Palermo (1889), also finished by his son Ernesto. He also designed several gardens such as for Villa Garibaldi and the English Garden in Palermo, Piazza Marina and Villa Vittorio Emanuele in Caltagirone. He is buried in the family grave at the Cemetery of the scrolls in Palermo.

paragraph: From 1928 to 1930 he engaged in field research in Inner Mongolia, and, while staying in lamaseries, mastered Chakhar, Kharchin and Dagur, while collecting extensive sources in manuscript. He later described the results of his investigations into Mongolian Buddhist canon, totalling 108 works, in his "Catalogue du Kanjur mongol", (1942-1944). He obtained a teaching position specializing in Inner Asian studies at Pázmány Péter Catholic University in 1931. After his election as a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1936, he did further fieldwork among both the Moghuls,and the Uzbeks, from 1936-7. In 1940 he assumed the chair of Inner Asian Studies at Budapest, University, where he introduced coursework on Mongolian, Tibetan and Manchu. He also played a key role in the development of Hungarian sinology.

paragraph: In 1949, he was awarded the Kossuth Prize (1949) and in the following year he launched the "Acta Orientalia". Among his translations are The Secret History of the Mongols (1962) and the Elegant Sayings of Sakya Pandita (1984).

paragraph: Though much was lost in the upheavals of World War Two, he managed to conserve important texts in old Mongolian, Manchu, Tibetan and Chinese, which he later gave to the Hungarian Academy. He donated his 11,000 volume private library to the Klebelsberg Library - University of Szeged.

paragraph: Franciscus Haraeus

paragraph: Franciscus Haraeus (Latinised form of Franciscus Verhaer; also known as Frans Verhaer), (Utrecht 1555? - Leuven, 11 January 1631), was a "Netherlandish" theologian, historian, and cartographer. He is best known for his history (from a Catholic point of view) of the Dutch Revolt. He was one of the first cartographers who made thematic maps and globes.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Haraeus first attended the Latin school of the Brethren of the Common Life in Utrecht and subsequently studied theology at the University of Louvain under Thomas Stapleton and Johannes Molanus. He was ordained a Roman Catholic priest at an early age, probably in 1578. He was appointed as a professor of rhetoric at the then-new University of Douai where he also obtained a Licentiate of Theology. In 1581 he accompanied the papal legate Possevin on an embassy to John III of Sweden and Ivan the Terrible.

paragraph: Back in the Dutch Republic he became a canon at St. John's Cathedral ('s-Hertogenbosch), later dean in Duinkerken and professor of theology at Tongerlo Abbey. In 1604-1609 he worked as a priest in Utrecht where he was in contact with Buchelius. After 1609 he moved permanently to the Spanish Netherlands where he became the rector of a nunnery in Antwerp, before becoming a canon in Namur in 1617, and after 1621 in Leuven. He died in the latter city on 11 January 1631, and was buried in the St. Peter Church in Leuven, near the tomb of Thomas Stapleton.

paragraph: Section::::Historical works.

paragraph: Haraeus wrote (or maybe better, compiled) a large number of hagiographies. However, his historical works of longer lasting import concerned the first part of the Eighty Years' War through which he had lived himself. He took clearly the side of king Philip II of Spain against William the Silent which gave his work a polemical and sometimes biased character. His first publication in this field was "Onpartijdighe Verklaringhe der oorsaken der Nederlantsche oorloghs sedert 't jaer 1566 tot 1608" (Antwerp 1612). This provoked a critical reply by the Dutch-Supreme-Court Justice François Vranck, entitled: "Wederlegghinghe van een seker Boecxke uytghegheven bij Franchois Verhaer, ghenaemt onpartijdighe verclaringhe der oorsaken van de Nederlantsche Oorloghe, sedert den Jare 1566 tot ten Jare 1608 toe"(published posthumously, 1618). Meanwhile, Haraeus had already started on his major history: "Annales ducum seu principum Brabantiae totiusque Belgii tomi tres: quorum primo solius Brabantiae, secundo Belgii uniti principum res gestae, tertio Belgici tumultus usque ad inductas anno MDCIX pactas, enarrantur" (Antwerp 1623). This work was well received in the Spanish Netherlands where it long was a "best seller," not so much because of its originality, but because of its tenor. The third volume was reworked by its author, but this version only exists in manuscript; it was never printed.

paragraph: Section::::Cartographic work.

paragraph: Haraeus was one of several clergymen from the Netherlands who around the turn of the 17th century made important contributions to the young science of map-making (another one was Petrus Plancius). He was one of the three cartographers in the Spanish Netherlands who kept the craft of globe-making alive there after the exodus of many cartographers around the turn of the 17th century. In 1614 he published a six-gore map entitled "Novus typus orbis ipsus globus, ex Analemmate Ptolomaei diductus" This was one of the first instances of a thematic map as it showed the dispersion of Christianity and Islam at the time, using map symbols developed by Jodocus Hondius in his "Designatio Orbis Christiani" (1607)

paragraph: In 1624 a map entitled "Lumen Historiarum per Orientem" was published by Balthasar Moretus as part of a new edition of Ortelius' "Theatrum orbis terrarum Parergon" which recognized Haraeus as its maker. This map was part of a set of two made earlier by Haraeus and designed as a catchall guide to sacred geography.

paragraph: As a final example, Haraeus "Geographica restituta per globi trientes " (1618; see the illustration above) shows the world in three globe-gores. Note the insets: there is a map representing the 2nd-century worldview of Ptolemy in the lower-Eastern section, and a legend for the map in the lower-center, explaining symbols which identify religious habitations (a cross for Christian regions, a crescent for Islam, and a slanted arrow for barbarians).

paragraph: Marshall Fredericks

paragraph: Marshall Maynard Fredericks (January 31, 1908 – April 4, 1998) was an American sculptor.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Fredericks was born of Scandinavian descent in Rock Island, Illinois on January 31, 1908. His family moved to Florida for a short time and then settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up. He graduated from the Cleveland School of Art in 1930 and journeyed abroad on a fellowship to study with Carl Milles (1875–1955) in Sweden. After some months he studied in other academies and private studios in Denmark, Germany, France, and Italy, and traveled extensively in Europe and North Africa.

paragraph: In 1932, he was invited by Carl Milles to join the staffs of Cranbrook Academy of Art and Cranbrook and Kingswood School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, teaching there until he enlisted in the armed forces in 1942. In 1945, Fredericks was honorably discharged from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1936, Fredericks won a competition to create the Levi L. Barbour Memorial Fountain on Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. This was to be the first of many public monuments created by Fredericks. After World War II, the sculptor worked continuously on his numerous commissions for fountains, memorials, free-standing sculptures, reliefs, and portraits in bronze and other materials. Many of his works have spiritual intensity, lighthearted humor and a warm and gentle humanist spirit like that found in Fredericks himself.

paragraph: Fredericks was the recipient of many American and foreign awards and decorations for his artistic and humanitarian achievements. He exhibited his work nationally and internationally and many of his works are in national, civic, and private collections. In 1957, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, and became a full Academician in 1961.

paragraph: He resided in Birmingham, Michigan with his wife Rosalind Cooke until his death April 4, 1998. The couple had five children and eight grandchildren. He maintained studios at 4113 North Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak and on East Long Lake Road in Bloomfield Hills until his death. His estate donated the contents of both studios to the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum on the campus of Saginaw Valley State University in Saginaw, Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Cleveland War Memorial Fountain: Peace Arising from the Flames of War.

paragraph: The Cleveland War Memorial Fountain: Peace Arising from the Flames of War, also known as The Fountain of Eternal Life was installed on The Mall in downtown Cleveland, Ohio to commemorate those who served in World War II. It bears the inscription, "IN HONORED MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY". The work was 20 years in the making and was dedicated on May 31, 1964.

paragraph: Four groups in Norwegian emerald pearl granite, each , represent the religious aspirations from all over the globe that are the foundation for the soaring figure that represents eternal life. The figure was cast in Norway, where also the granite groups were carved. The globe under the figure was cast in Brooklyn, New York. The four groups represent the four "corners" of the earth from which come the major religions, which in turn gave birth to the idea of eternal life, here represented by the human figure in the center of the sculpture.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Boy and Bear.

paragraph: Fredericks was one of six artists commissioned to design sculpture for Northland Shopping Center in Southfield, Michigan. When it opened in 1954, Northland was the country's largest shopping center as well as the first regional shopping center. The architects planned for sculpture to play an important role in the shopping center's courts and malls. Fredericks designed this sculpture with children in mind. As with his other large animal sculptures, he gave the bear a benevolent quality so it would not frighten children. This bear could be a child's best friend. The contrast of the massive body of the bear with the almost frail body of the boy on his back emphasizes this special relationship. The bear's head is down, communicating only amicable intentions. Its erect ears and furrowed brow suggest interest in a viewer at this low eye level. Fredericks' portrayal of the bear is not totally realistic, but like several of his animal sculptures, he portrayed the bear as in a child's imagination. The sculpture at Northland still attracts as much attention today as when it was first installed, pleasing children and adults alike. In 2016, the sculpture was moved to the lobby of the Southfield Public Library when Northland Mall closed.

paragraph: Despite similarities between this sculpture and the characters in Walt Disney's movie "The Jungle Book", Fredericks disavowed any influence from Disney, "The Jungle Book", originally published in 1894, or its author, Rudyard Kipling. Fredericks said that he simply wanted to make a sculpture of a boy and bear because it would be fun. On display at the Fredricks Sculpture Gallery is an earlier version of this sculpture in bronze. A similar casting is on display in the children's room of the Grosse Pointe Public Library and at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Christ on the Cross.

paragraph: Fredericks was commissioned to sculpt a crucifix, but instead designed this , full-scale model, for a bronze to be placed at the Indian River Catholic Shrine in Indian River, Michigan. The bronze Corpus is mounted on a redwood cross. When erected in 1959, it was believed to be the largest crucifix in the world. Since then, a crucifix was erected in the cemetery of St. Thomas Catholic Church hear Bardstown, Kentucky however the Corpus on this work is only in height.

paragraph: The Indian River figure required only three years to complete, however the plaster model on which it was based required seven-years of restoration before being put on permanent display at the Fredricks Sculpture Museum. It suffered from neglect during the two-decades it was in storage at the foundry in Scandinavia after the bronze was cast. In his depiction Fredericks chose not to depict the pain and suffering of Jesus and omitted the crown of thorns and the wound in the figure's side. Instead, he shows the powerful body of Jesus at peace in the moment after death.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Freedom of the Human Spirit.

paragraph: The Freedom of the Human Spirit was originally sculpted for the 1964 World's Fair in New York City and stood in the "Court of States".

paragraph: Fredericks is quoted explaining the Freedom of the Human Spirit:

paragraph: "I tried to take the male and female figures and free them from the earth. The only reason they stand up in the space at all is because they are suspended by sort of semi-visible abstract forms that keep them in the air, and then there are three giant wind swans flying with them. The idea was that these human beings, these people-us, do not have to be limited to the earth, to the ground. We can free ourselves mentally and spiritually whenever we want to, if we just try to do so."

paragraph: This sculpture was moved in 1996 to the plaza adjacent to Arthur Ashe Stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. A casting is in Shain Park in Birmingham, Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Leaping Gazelle.

paragraph: This sculpture was the first commissioned work for which Marshall Fredericks was paid. In 1936, the sculpture won first prize in a national competition, and as a result, Fredericks became well known as a public sculptor. Since the gazelle is not native to Michigan, Fredericks made four animals that are, and placed them around the gazelle on Belle Isle. These animals are the otter, grouse, hawk and rabbit. Fredericks sculpted the gazelle in a characteristic movement called wheeling, which is when an animal quickly changes direction while being pursued by a predator.

paragraph: The Leaping Gazelle is one of the most duplicated of Fredericks's sculptures. It can be found at numerous locations, including Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina where it was one of four Purchase prize winners of a nationwide open sculpture competition in 1972.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Lion and Mouse.

paragraph: Fredericks said this sculpture illustrates Aesop's Fable of "The Lion and the Mouse". In the story, a lion caught a mouse. As the lion was about to eat him, the mouse pleaded for mercy, promising to help the lion one day. The lion was so amused by the prospect of a tiny mouse helping the king of the jungle that he freed the mouse. Some time later, the mouse came across the lion trapped in a hunter's net and gnawed through the ropes to free him. In a different version of the story, the mouse extracted from the lion's paw a troublesome thorn too tiny for the massive lion's claws to grasp. A fitting moral to the story is that kindness is seldom thrown away, be it given to the mightiest or lowliest of creatures. Fredericks captured the story in a single image by contrasting the tiny mouse with the much larger lion.

paragraph: The J. L. Hudson Company commissioned this sculpture for Eastland Center in Harper Woods, Michigan in 1957. Like many of Fredericks' sculptures, he designed it specifically for children. Both animals are humanized with friendly facial expressions. The lion's reclining position and his crossed legs are very human-like, yet his huge round head is stylized with uniformly coiled ringlets and his knees are abstracted. These alterations of nature make the king of the jungle unthreatening to children and adults alike.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:The Poet, Lord Byron.

paragraph: When Fredericks was a teenager his inspiration was Lord Byron, the nineteenth-century Romantic poet who became associated with a haughty, melancholy mood. Fredericks presents Lord Byron in a dramatic pose with his head thrown back and hand raised to his forehead. He seems to suffer inner turmoil suggestive of the melancholic life of the poet. Lord Byron's left leg was slightly shorter than his right and he was sensitive about his lameness. Fredericks captured this aspect of Byron's personality by posing him draped in a long cape which partially conceals his legs. The Bronze full-scale sculpture resides on the campus of Saginaw Valley State University and was cast in 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Man and the Expanding Universe.

paragraph: The "Man and the Expanding Universe Fountain" was installed in the South Court of the United States Department of State Headquarters Building in Washington, D.C. in 1964.

paragraph: The fountain was erected to celebrate the nation's first exploration of outer space. The monumental central figure suggests a superhuman mythological being. He is seated upon a sphere, encrusted with a multitude of stars of various magnitudes set in a pattern of the bright-star constellations of the celestial system. In his hands, he holds two planets that he is sending off into space. His hair, designed with jagged lightning-like forms, is studded with clusters of multi-pointed stars. The dynamic spiral orbit-form swirling around the sphere represents the speed and perpetual movement of the heavenly bodies in space. Play of the water in a spiral pattern from numerous star-shaped sprays is intended to increase the feeling of movement upon the figure, sphere, and orbit.

paragraph: The basin of the fountain is lined with colored glass mosaic tiles. The central figure and sphere are cast in bronze while the orbit, planets, water spouts, and the stars in the hair and on the surface of the sphere are of nickel alloy. According to Fredericks, the sculpture "represents this age of great interest, exploration and discovery in outer space...[and] the immensity, order and mystery of the universe."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Night and Day Fountain.

paragraph: The fountain was commissioned for the Henry G. McMorran Auditorium in Port Huron, Michigan. Fredericks also created a gold anodized aluminum Sculptured Clock on the building that was completed in 1957, two years before the fountain's installation. The sculptures and clock were conceived as a unified design.

paragraph: In keeping with a long tradition in western art, the sculptor personified time with figures representing night and day. Night has long, smooth, graceful curves that are repeated in the lines of the swan in flight beneath her. In comparison, Day is more angular and his muscles are more pronounced, as are the veins in the arms and hands. Day rests upon an otter, hunting among a school of Northern pike and Night floats upon a swan in flight, holding a small bird in her hand.

paragraph: The Night and Day Fountain can also be seen at the Fredricks Sculpture Gallery.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Spirit of Detroit.

paragraph: Working from a small model, Fredericks made the full-scale model for the figure at the entrance to the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center in Detroit, Michigan. For monumental sculpture, sculptors typically create a small model or maquette, then progressively larger models. This provides an opportunity to work out compositional details prior to construction of the large, expensive, and time-consuming full-scale model. Enlargement of the model is done with a point-up or pantograph machine. Three of the smaller models are on display in the Sculptor's Studio.

paragraph: Fredericks stated he never named the piece. He said:

paragraph: "The theme was a verse from the Bible (2 Corinthians 3:17); 'Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.' I tried to express the spirit of man through the deity and the family,"

paragraph: After it was installed in 1958, it became popularly known as The Spirit of Detroit. Not only did Fredericks waive his creative fee for this sculpture, but it actually cost him money to produce. However he believed this was merely part of his civic responsibility.

paragraph: In 2013, art dealer and art historian Eric Ian Hornak Spoutz was quoted in the Detroit News stating that the value of the statue is in excess of $1,000,000.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:The Thinker.

paragraph: Fredericks created this sculpture after George Gough Booth, the founder of Cranbrook Educational Community, asked him to make a "Thinker" for the steps of the Cranbrook Art Museum similar to Auguste Rodin's renowned "The Thinker", a cast of which is at the entrance of the Detroit Institute of Arts. The pose Fredericks' Thinker assumes is a direct reference to Rodin's sculpture; however, Fredericks' replacement of Rodin's heroic male nude with a bemused chimpanzee is a thought provoking variation on the earlier statue and reveals his fondness for primates. Fredericks indicated that when Booth saw the compact composition of the chimp stroking his chin, he commented that it was not like Rodin would have done, but Booth was sure the chimp was thinking much more interesting thoughts than most of us.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Major works.:Two Bears.

paragraph: Two Bears was originally created in 1962 for Lincoln Square, Urbana, Illinois. A large and small bear sit back-to-back in quiet contemplation. In nature, these two animals are enemies, however, Fredericks portrays the two in a gentle humanistic way, stressing tolerance. The bears are markedly different in their ears and noses and the small bear displays Fredericks' trademark teardrop-kneecap sculpting style. Other sculptures that display this characteristic are "The Thinker", "Lion and Mouse", and the "Male Baboon" and "Female Baboon" sculptures.

paragraph: Thomas Rossell Potter

paragraph: Thomas Rossell Potter (7 January 1799 – 19 April 1873) was a British antiquary. He started a school in Leicestershire, but he is known for his publications about the history and geology of Leicestershire. He was the editor of a number of local newspapers.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born at West Hallam, Derbyshire to John and Mary Potter, he went to Risley grammar school, and later to the grammar school at Wirksworth. When he was fifteen his parents removed to Wymeswold in Leicestershire, and there he resided until his death.

paragraph: Potter's intention of entering the church was frustrated by his father's death, and Potter accordingly started a school on Elm Street in Wymeswold called "The Hermitage" (pictured). The school proved successful, and, with the exception of a few years devoted entirely to literary work, he spent the remainder of his days in tuition. The account below is taken from a schoolbook by Thomas Wamer Lacey which was rediscovered in a record office in 1999. He wrote:

paragraph: "... I then came to Mr Potters of Wymeswould, he is a very kind master, and Mrs Potter is a kind mistress, and was like a mother to us all, and will always be remembered by us. Mr Potter takes us a fishing, and bathing, and we have delightful walks, a pleasant playground, pretty little gardens, rabbithouses, &c. furnish amusements for us in the Summer evenings. In Winter we have a Library of Books to run to, a magic lantern to amuse us, and many a long hour do we spend in listening to Mr P~s tales round the cheerful fire..."

paragraph: A notable student of his was the antiquarian John Joseph Briggs.

paragraph: Potter had developed a taste for literature, and especially for antiquities and geology. In 1841/42 he temporarily removed from Wymeswold to a house in Charnwood Forest, and while there he collected notes about the history, antiquities, natural history, and geology of the area. This became "The History and Antiquities of Charnwood Forest".

paragraph: Potter attempted a reissue of the "History of Leicestershire" by John Nichols, but his effort proved abortive, and, though much was written, only the "Physical Geography and Geology of Leicestershire" was printed (in 1866).

paragraph: Potter was fond of field sports, was a regular attender at meets of the Quorn Hunt, and contributed a series of papers and poems for the "Sporting Magazine" from 1827 until 1840, under the pseudonym of "Old Grey". He afterwards wrote for the "Sporting Review". He became editor of the "Leicester Advertiser" in 1849, of the "Ilkeston Pioneer" in 1856, and of the "Leicester Guardian" in 1858. In 1865 he was editor of the "Loughborough Monitor" (later the "Loughborough Monitor and News").

paragraph: Potter married, on 14 January 1836, Frances Sarah Fosbrooke of Shardlow Hall, Derbyshire. They had five sons and four daughters. Potter predeceased his wife, dying in Wymeswold.

paragraph: Besides the works mentioned, he published:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. " Walks round Loughborough", 1840.

paragraph: BULLET::::2. " The Genius of Nottinghamshire", 1849.

paragraph: BULLET::::3. " Rambles round Loughborough," reprinted from "The Loughborough News", 1868.

paragraph: BULLET::::4. "Poems", 1881

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits (17 March 1922 in Budapest – 2 August 2002 in Budapest) was a Hungarian documentary film director and international news correspondent. She was one of the first women war correspondents amongst the first women film directors in Hungary. Kolonits' films were known for their lyrical treatment of grand historical events as well as the lives of ordinary people. Ilona Kolonoits received numerous awards and nominations throughout her career, including international film festivals in Paris, Moscow, Oberhausen, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Berlin, Leipzig, Mexico City and Budapest.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits has been awarded the title Righteous Among the Nations and the 'Pro Virtue' Award for Courage of the Republic of Hungary for saving the lives of many during the Second World War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits' father, Ferenc Kolonits and mother Paulina Kolonits (née Holka) were respected humanitarian activists who took an active part in the Hungarian anti-fascist resistance movement in the Second World War. A young girl herself, at the age of 22, Ilona rescued over 40 children from the Budapest Ghetto who were destined to be deported and killed in the Nazi's concentration camps. Alongside her mother, Paolina Kolonits (née Holka), and Ilona's two sisters, Margit and Paola, Ilona Kolonits was awarded the Righteous Among the Nations title by Yad Vashem) posthumous in 2007 in recognition of saving the lives of numerous people during the Second World War. The Kolonits family sheltered in their country home and also their fashion boutique in Budapest a great number of Jewish people and intellectuals persecuted by the Nazis this way saving them from being killed by the fascists in Hungary or in death camps. Ilona's elder sister, Margit Kolonits rescued children of Jewish prisoners while they were being deported. Amongst others the Kolonits family rescued and adopted an orphan of the Holocaust, Erzsebet Garai, the later well known film theoretician and editor of the Filmkultura. In 1944 Ilona's father, Ferenc Kolonits was deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp for his Anti-fascist activities along with other leading members of the Hungarian Social Democratic Party. He took part in organising the Buchenwald Resistance movement and fought to liberate the prisoners from the camp.

paragraph: Apart from rescuing people Ilona Kolonits also took part in carrying messages during the Nazi occupation between groups taking part in resistance in various parts of Budapest. During the Siege of Budapest she was cut off from her family, on the other side of the city over the Danube river and was stranded in a cellar for several weeks without food and very little water. She wrote a farewell note to her family but was fortunately saved when the Nazis were driven out of Budapest by the advancing 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Front of the Soviet Army. Witnessing at first hand the brutal fascist persecutions, numerous atrocities from the Nazis against minorities and the street fights in Budapest during the Second World War made a lasting impression on Ilona Kolonits and formed her lifelong commitment to international peace and humanitarian affairs.

paragraph: In her youth Ilona Kolonits along with her sisters enjoyed athletic sports. In the Anti-fascist movement she befriended many young Hungarian intellectuals, writers, artists and poets including the poet Attila József, and she was a member of the intellectual and artistic Fészek Art Club in Budapest. After the war she studied at the Academy of Drama and Film in Budapest, and in 1953 completed a PhD in Documentary Film and Cinema. In 1954 Kolonits became one of the first Hungarian women academicians and a fellow of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences alongside Elizabeth Garai and Yvette Biro.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits was considered by those who knew her to be exceptionally kind and courageous, gentle yet light hearted, with a 'twinkle in her eye'. Throughout her life she never spoke of the numerous rescues of children and adults she carried out during the Second World War. Ilona Kolonits lived very modestly with her parents in their home in a green suburb of Budapest. Without mentioning it she often gave anonymously large amounts from her income to charity and humanitarian causes supporting children orphaned due to military conflicts and war. She enjoyed spending her free time in private, with her family, her sisters and their children and grandchildren with whom she liked to share nature walks and gardening.

paragraph: Although a striking, tall beauty, a refined and elegant woman, Ilona Kolonits never married nor had any romantic relationships. She dedicated her entire life to her humanitarian calling of a documentary film director and international news correspondent. The only romantic interest Ilona had was a youthful platonic fascination with the young Hungarian poet Attila József. Their age difference, Attila József's commitments and his early death made any relationship between them impossible. The young Ilona was influenced by the poet's artistic talent, patriotic feelings and pacifist activities. They met in the Hungarian Anti-fascist resistance movement. Ilona heard Attila József's speeches at meetings arguing against social injustice, condemning the Death Penalty and supporting the cause of the oppressed minorities. Ilona shared his humanitarian values and lived by them throughout her life.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits liked to read and had a particular interest in contemporary literature and sciences. She built a considerable private library of 20th century literature. Her last wish to her family was that Attila József's poem, "At The Danube" (1936), might be read out at her memorial service, in expression of her shared with the poet hope of peace and of national and international reconciliation.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits died in Budapest in 2002 at the age of 80. Her ashes are resting alongside those of her parents in the historical pantheon of the Farkasréti Cemetery in Budapest.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Between 1951 and 1989 Ilona Kolonits was employed as film director at the Mafilm Film Studios in Budapest and later at the Hungarian Documentary Film Studios. While other Hungarian women filmmakers of her generation including Márta Mészáros and Ilona Katkics produced feature films, Ilona Kolonits remained faithful to her calling as a documentary filmmaker.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits was a dedicated documentary film director and international news and war correspondent. She shot over 500 newsreels and directed over one hundred documentary, popular science and sport films, of which 17 received international and six national Hungarian film awards. She filmed armed conflicts in the Middle East and Far East in the 1960s and 1970s, accepting assignments turned down by her colleagues because of the dangers involved and she risked her life in order to bring news to the Hungarian and international public. Ilona Kolonits' films promoted world peace and humanitarian causes. She often portrayed minority groups in her films. She was in particular concerned with the cause of women and children whose lives were distraught by war. One of her most outstanding cinematic achievements is the short film "Eroica" (1975), which portrays the impact of the Vietnam War on the lives of Vietnamese women and children in a series of images edited to the sounds of Symphony No. 3 in E flat major (Op. 55) by Ludwig van Beethoven (known as the Eroica, Italian for "heroic").

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits' best known and most disputed film is "As It Happened" (1957), a documentary film portraying the events of the 1956 Uprising in Hungary. The film was edited from documentary footages which Ilona Kolonits herself shot with a camera on the streets of Budapest as none of the other Hungarian documentarist were prepared to take the risk of working during the armed conflict. Working alone Ilona Kolonits provided authentic documentary footages. The political controversy surrounding this film related to the interpretation of the events through editing overshadowed the considerable on international scale cinematic heritage of Ilona Kolonits' humanist documentary cinema.

paragraph: Ilona Kolonits' cinematic style was lyrical and poetic. In her films she portrayed the everyday lives of people in Hungary and internationally. Her kind manner and genuine compassion won the hearts of people and allowed her to portray their culture, traditions, customs, moments of joy and grief. She focused on the lives of ordinary people, ethnic and minority communities, women and children In 1955 she started a several decades-long series of documentary films entitled "Birthday" which followed the lives of a group of women throughout their annual school reunions, this way presenting a very personal, feminine view of a generation. Ilona Kolonits' documentary film 'Thank You For The Clay' (Köszöntöm az agyagot) (1976) is a homage to the art and skill of the renewed Hungarian sculptor, Margit Kovacs. In her 1988 film "You Like Horses, Don't You?" Ilona Kolonits addressed issues related to animal rights. Her film "Budapest" is a lyrical homage to the city where she was born and which she loved. The films of Ilona Kolonits are filed at the Hungarian National Digital Film Archives and Film Institute.

paragraph: Anthon B. Nilsen

paragraph: Anthon Bernhard Elias Nilsen (30 June 1855 – 6 December 1936) was a Norwegian businessman and politician for the Conservative Party. He also wrote novels, under the pseudonym Elias Kræmmer.

paragraph: He was born in Svelvik. A small town, Svelvik nonetheless played an important role, being the nearest port of the larger town Drammen when the Drammensfjord inlet was frozen over during the winter. Nilsen later moved to Drammen, and in 1879 he established a company to export pulp and paper products as well as lumber. The company, named Anth. B. Nilsen & Co from 1912, was taken over by his sons in the 1930s. It still exists today, under the name Anthon B Nilsen AS. Mainly emphasizing investment, it owns several Norwegian colleges.

paragraph: Anthon Nilsen also lived in Fredrikstad for many years. He came to the city in 1877 to work as manager of "Fredrikstad Dampsag" (Fredrikstad sawmill), but also co-founded the newspaper "Fredriksstad Blad", which still exists today. Nilsen was elected from Fredrikstad to the Norwegian Parliament in 1895, but served only one term. He was also active in local politics. He left Fredrikstad in 1901, and later lived at Larkollen and Jeløya.

paragraph: Under the pseudonym Elias Kræmmer, Nilsen had a sizeable literary production. His debut came in 1894 with "Glade Borgere", a collection of small town depictions. He was not acknowledged for high literary quality, but nonetheless became popular for his humour. Later books include the novels "Sigurd Seiersborg" (1920), "Fyrgangen" (1923), "Bølgerne ruller" (1925), "Asylet" (1928), "Evensen" (1930), "Elias Kræmmers oplevelser" (1932), "Glade ungdom" (1933) and "Paa livets høislette" (1934). One of his plays, written in 1912, was staged at the National Theatre. Nilsen also published a collection of poetry in 1919 under his real name.

paragraph: A bust of Nilsen was raised in Svelvik in 1955. A street in Fredrikstad has been named after Elias Kræmmer.

paragraph: Kereopa Te Rau

paragraph: Kereopa Te Rau (? – 5 January 1872) was a leader of Pai Marire (Hauhau), a Māori religion.

paragraph: Kereopa was baptised by the Catholic missionary Father Euloge Reignier in the 1840s and was given the Christian name of Kereopa, the Māori pronunciation of the Biblical name Cleopas. He may have served as a police officer in Auckland during the 1850s. He is known to have fought for the King Movement during the Invasion of the Waikato in 1863. His wife and two daughters were killed in the attack by government forces on the unfortified village of Rangiaowhia near Te Awamutu in 1864, and his sister was killed in defence of the Hairini Line a few days later.

paragraph: Shortly afterwards he met up with the prophet Te Ua Haumēne and converted to the Pai Marire. In December 1864 he was sent on a mission to the tribes of the East Coast. His instructions were to go in peace and avoid confrontations with the Pākehā. While he was at Opotiki the missionary Carl Volkner was seized, tried, hanged and decapitated by his own congregation in what became known as the Volkner Incident. Immediately afterwards Kereopa preached a sermon from Volkner's pulpit during which he gouged the missionary's eyes out of his head and ate them.

paragraph: Kereopa and his Pai Marire followers went on to Gisborne, and then to the Urewera mountains to preach to the Tuhoe people. In 1865 he tried to return to the Waikato but was repulsed by a war party of Ngāti Manawa and Ngāti Rangitihi loyal Maori, who supported the government. Following the resulting battle Kereopa is said to have eaten the eyes of three of the slain enemy. For this and the eating of Volkner's eyes, he was nicknamed "Kai Whatu" (Eye Eater). He then retreated to the Ureweras where he found refuge and remained in hiding for the next five years.

paragraph: In the early 1870s government forces searching for Te Kooti entered the Ureweras. The Tuhoe were conquered and British colonial law and order was established. Tuhoe handed over Kereopa to Major Ropata Wahawaha, who led the government forces.

paragraph: Kereopa was tried for Volkner's murder in Napier on 21 December 1871. He was convicted and was hanged on 5 January 1872. His iwi Ngati Rangiwewehi say that the trial had a predetermined outcome and was a miscarriage of justice. Kereopa was posthumously pardoned as part of a Treaty of Waitangi settlement in 2014.
