paragraph: Max Burchartz

paragraph: Max Hubert Innocenz Maria Burchartz (1887–1961) was a German photographer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Max Burchartz was the son of a fabric manufacturer, Otto Burchartz and his wife Maria. After his basic schooling he received training in his father's weaving mill and studied at a textile technical school as well as an art school. He studied advertising and art and in 1907 started studying at an art academy in Düsseldorf, at that time experimenting with impressionism but left the academy to join the First World War. After the War he withdrew to Blankenhain and resumed painting. His paintings reflected the quiet, rural life of Blankenhain, but maintained abstract influences, (e.g. "Strasse in Blankenhain").

paragraph: Section::::Meeting with the modern trend.

paragraph: From 3 to 5 August 1922 Burchartz attended a still-life course taught by Theo van Doesburg at the Bauhaus in Weimar, a break from his past work and turned him toward the 'modern trend', which was from then on expressed in a constructional style. He also worked as a translator.

paragraph: Section::::Ascent into the Ruhr District.

paragraph: In 1924 Burchartz moved to the Ruhr District where he set up the first modern advertising agency in Germany with Johannes Canis on November 1, 1924. He dedicated himself to the new typography and color design of the building. Artistic and economic success soon followed. The first customer of the agency was the Bochumer association. Burchartz developed a new layout style that blended typography, photography, and photo collages.

paragraph: In 1926 Burchartz began expanding his artistic career. His subject matter grew and he began to sketch furniture along with his previous subjects. He also began working for the German Work Federation and became an active journalist. Burchartz began working for a company called Wehag that made door handles and fittings. He created many drafts for the company and shaped the development of the enterprise.

paragraph: In April 1927, Burchartz finally received a degree in typography at the Folkwang Schule. Later that year he joined the architect Alfred Fischer, who built churches and the Hans Sachs house. Burchartz developed a color control system for the corridors of the house and thereby created the (presumed) first example of applied Signaletic in a public building. In other words, each floor is assigned one of the primary colors and labelled 'red floor, green floor, etc...'. After World War II they were painted over and forgotten and the style was not 'rediscovered' until the 90's.

paragraph: Section::::The Third Reich.

paragraph: After Hitler seized power, Burchartz joined the Nazi Party, hoping to regain his position at the Folkwang Hochschule. During this time, he made many trips for his photography and made prints of industrial subject matter. (e.g. 1933 "Sailors Soldiers Comrades"). Between 1933 and 1939 Burchartz worked for the Forkardt company for whom he sketched "the Book of Stretching" in 1939. The book was an opinion book about "Handspannfutter". Between 1935 and 1936 he also sketched folders for the Donar company, which, like the Wehag company, made door handles. He voluntarily joined the German army which he remained in until the end of the war. At the end of the war he found himself in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::A New Start.

paragraph: In 1949, Burchartz began working at the Folkwang Academy as a professor for the first year students. He taught the students universal art ideas and the ideas of holistic designs. In 1953 he wrote his first work of art theory, "Allegory of the Harmony" and also an extension of the piece, "Design Theory". In this time he also created collages and framed developed with new materials such as raster foils, plastic foils, Resopal, and wall carpets. On January 31, 1961 Max Burchartz died. A year after his death a book of his titled, "School of Looking" surfaced.

paragraph: Section::::Influence on art today.

paragraph: Although Burchartz can be considered the pioneer of modern design and can be compared to older artists such as Peter Behrens and Anton Stankowski, he never received the same fame. Many of today's communication designs, such as the color control system, are based on the work of Max Burchartz.

paragraph: Rodolfo Walsh

paragraph: Rodolfo Jorge Walsh (January 9, 1927 – March 25, 1977) was an Argentine writer and journalist of Irish descent, considered the founder of investigative journalism. He is most famous for his "Open Letter from a Writer to the Military Junta", which he published the day before his murder, protesting that Argentina's last civil-military dictatorship's economic policies were having an even greater and disastrous effect on ordinary Argentines than its widespread human rights abuses.

paragraph: Born in Lamarque, Walsh finished his primary education in a small town in Río Negro Province, from where he moved to Buenos Aires in 1941, where he completed high school. Although he started studying philosophy at university, he abandoned it and held a number of different jobs, mostly as a writer or editor. Between 1944 and 1945 he joined the Alianza Libertadora Nacionalista, a movement he later denounced as being "Nazi" in its roots. In 1953 he received the Buenos Aires Municipal Literature Award for his book "Variaciones en Rojo".

paragraph: Initially supporting the "Revolución Libertadora"'s coup which overthrew Juan Perón's democratic government in 1955, by 1956 Walsh already rejected the hard-line policies of the military government led by Aramburu. In 1957 he finished "Operación Masacre" ("Operation Massacre"), an investigative work on the illegal execution of Peron's sympathizers during an ill-fated attempt at restoring Peronism to power in June 1956. "Operación Masacre" is now considered by scholars as the first historical non-fiction novel, preceding Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood".

paragraph: In 1960 he went to Cuba, where together with Jorge Masetti Walsh founded the Prensa Latina press agency. By then he had close ties to the CGT de los Argentinos. It has been established that he decrypted a CIA telex referring to the upcoming Bay of Pigs invasion, helping Fidel Castro to prepare for the supposedly secret operation. Back in Argentina, in 1973 Walsh joined the Montoneros guerrilla radical group, but eventually began to question the views of the organization, and so decided to fight back the new dictatorship that arose in 1976 by the use of words instead of guns, then writing his famous "Open Letter from a Writer to the Military Junta". Four years later, on March 25, 1977, he was mortally wounded during a shoot-out with a special military group that set an ambush for him. Walsh's body and some of his writings were kidnapped and never seen again, and he is remembered as a "desaparecido", as well as a victim of State-sponsored terrorism.

paragraph: At least four films have been based on his work, including "Operación masacre" (1973) and "Asesinato a distancia" (1998), and three of his books were published years after his death, most notably "Cuento para tahúres y otros relatos policiales". Walsh's daughter, Patricia Walsh, is a politician.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Rodolfo Jorge Walsh (of Irish descent), was born in 1927 on a farm in the Lamarque locality of Río Negro Province, Argentina to third-generation Irish immigrants. For a long time there was confusion regarding Walsh's birthplace, due to the renaming of Colonia Nueva del Pueblo de Choele Choel to its current denomination of Lamarque, in 1942. This other Lamarque is a neighborhood of Choele Choel about nine miles away from Walsh's birthplace.

paragraph: In 1941 he moved to Buenos Aires to attend secondary school. After graduation, he began studying philosophy, but then left school and took on a diverse range of jobs including office worker in a meat processing plant, labourer, dishwasher, antiques vendor, and window washer. Then at the age of 18 he began working as a proofreader at a newspaper, the humble beginnings of what would develop into a distinguished career in journalism, which continued until his assassination in 1977.

paragraph: Section::::Journalism.

paragraph: In 1951 Walsh began to work in journalism proper, with the magazines "Leoplán" and "Vea y Lea" (See and Read). In 1953 he won the Buenos Aires Municipal Prize for Literature for his book of short stories "Variations in Red" ("Variaciones en Rojo").

paragraph: After meeting a survivor of the shootings of José León Suárez, Walsh produced a book about the event, in which he wrote "This is a story that I'm writing spontaneously and in the heat of the moment, so that they don't beat me to it, but that afterwards will crumple day by day in my pocket, because I'll go all over Buenos Aires and no one will want to publish it or even know about it." In 1957 he went to the office of Dr. Jorge Ramos Mejía and asked Dr. Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, director of the weekly "Azul y Blanco" to help him publish the book.

paragraph: With the financial backing of Mejía he was able that same year to produce "Operation Massacre" ("Operación Masacre"), with the subtitle "A process that has not been closed" from "Ediciones Sigla", an investigative journalism piece that was later brought to the cinema.

paragraph: His works are principally in the genres of Police and Crime, Journalism and Testimonial, with books that have been widely published like "Who killed Rosendo" ("Quién mató a Rosendo").

paragraph: Section::::Political activity.

paragraph: Between 1944 and 1945, Walsh was a member of The Nationalist Liberation Alliance (Alianza Libertadora Nacionalista), a group which years later he labelled as being a Nazi front.

paragraph: Walsh was never an actual supporter of Peronism, but he became more sympathetic towards the group from October 1956, writing in that month's edition of "Leoplán", "Here they closed their eyes", a tribute to the naval aviators who had died during the Revolución Libertadora.

paragraph: In September 1958 he wrote:

paragraph: In 1959 he travelled to Cuba, where with his colleagues and compatriots Jorge Masetti, Rogelio García Lupo, and the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, he founded the agency "Prensa Latina". On returning to Argentina he worked at the magazines "Primera Plana" and "Panorama". During the Onganía dictatorship he founded the weekly "CGTA", which he directed between 1968 and 1970, and which after a raid and the detention of Raimundo Ongaro was published clandestinely. During 1972 he wrote for the weekly "Semanario Villero" and from 1973 in the daily "Noticias" with his friends Paco Urondo and Miguel Bonasso, among others.

paragraph: Towards the middle of 1970, Walsh began to associate with the Peronismo de Base (Base Peronism) a political branch of the Fuerzas Armadas Peronistas (Peronist Armed Forces) a Peronist organization that in 1973 merged with the militant Montoneros. He was an important official, working on the press distribution for the movement, and intelligence. His first "nom de guerre" was "Esteban", and later he was known as "El Capitán", "Profesor Neurus" or just "Neurus".

paragraph: Section::::Differences with Montoneros.

paragraph: In 1974 Walsh began to have differences with the Montoneros, after Mario Firmenich made the surprise decision to take the group underground. Towards the end of 1975, several officials, including Walsh, began to promulgate documents recommending that the Montoneros "re-join the people, separate organizationally into watertight and independent combat cells, distribute money amongst them and try to organize a massive resistance, based more on popular involvement than on foquista type operations.

paragraph: In the letter he wrote to the leadership of the organization, he wrote:

paragraph: Section::::His role as part of the Montoneros Intelligence.

paragraph: Rodolfo Walsh reportedly played a key role in gathering important information for the Montoneros' Military Secretariat Department of Information and Intelligence. As a second officer of Montonero intelligence, Rodolfo Walsh had reportedly informed the Montoneros leadership in January 1976 that the Argentine military commanders were planning a takeover in March. According to the book "Political Violence and Trauma in Argentina", the son of retired Lieutenant-General Julio Alsogaray, Juan Carlos Alsogaray, had opened his father's safe, copied a draft of "Battle Order 24 March", and passed it on to Walsh. Juan Carlos ("El Hippie") Alsogaray, a Montoneros officer secretly working for Walsh, was killed in a fierce confrontation with Argentine paratroopers on 13 February 1976, when his 65-strong Montoneros Jungle Company was ambushed near the town of Cadillal in Tucuman province.

paragraph: About this, Walsh wrote in a private letter on December 29, 1976:

paragraph: It has been suggested by M. E. Andersen that Montoneros could have been nurtured by the military in order to justify their coup. According to this version, shortly after the military coup on 23 March 1976, Walsh would have written that the Montoneros welcomed the coup "as a victory in the making" and that the coup "will culminate in the seizure of power by the revolutionary left." Private Sergio Tarnopolsky serving in the Argentine Marine Corps in 1976, passed on valuable information to Walsh regarding the tortures and killings of left-wing guerrillas taking place in ESMA. He was later made to disappear along with his father Hugo and mother Blanca and sister Betina and his wife Laura De Luca in revenge for a bomb that he planted in the detention center that failed to explode.

paragraph: Section::::ANCLA.

paragraph: In 1976, in response to censorship imposed by the military dictatorship, Walsh created ANCLA, (Clandestine News Agency), and the "Information Chain", a system of hand-to-hand information distribution whose leaflets stated in the heading:

paragraph: Section::::The death of his daughter Victoria and of his friend Urondo.

paragraph: On September 29, 1976, Walsh's daughter María Victoria ("nom de guerre" "Hilda", or "Vicki" to family and friends), second officer of the organization Montoneros, died in a confrontation with the army, the day after her 26th birthday, in an incident known as "The Battle of Corro Street". Realizing she was surrounded with no chance of escape on the terrace of her house, she and Alberto Molina, the last survivor, raised their arms and after a brief speech that ended with the phrase "You're not killing us, we're choosing to die", both Alberto and Vicki shot themselves in the temple. In December of that year, Walsh published a message in which he described the events, entitled "Letter to My Friends" ("Carta a mis amigos").

paragraph: That same year in Mendoza, his friend Paco Urondo who fought in the Montoneros, was murdered by Juan Agustín Oyarzábal Navarro, Eduardo Smahá Borzuk ("Ruso"), Alberto Rodríguez Vázquez (“Pájaro Loco”), and Celustiano Lucero (“Mono”). They were convicted in 2011 and received the maximum sentence. Dardo Migno received 12 years in prison.

paragraph: From the trial it was determined that Urondo did not commit suicide by swallowing a cyanide pill, but rather died from a skull fracture caused by a blow to the head with a gun handle that policeman Celustiano Lucero administered. Lucero confessed to this act during the defense.

paragraph: His other daughter, Patricia, is currently an Argentine political leader.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: On March 25, 1977, only minutes after publishing -by sending it through mail- his "Open Letter from a Writer to the Military Junta" (""), Rodolfo Walsh was on foot near the crossroads of San Juan and Entre Ríos Avenues, in Buenos Aires, (according to the investigator Natalia Vinelli: "after mailing the first copies [of the letter] at the mailbox in Plaza Constitución"), when a group of soldiers from the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (Navy School of Mechanics) ordered him to surrender. Walsh resisted with a small pistol he carried, apparently firing first. He wounded one of the soldiers, and was then mortally wounded by machine-gun fire.

paragraph: During the first presidency of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (2007-2011), the members of the aforementioned group were judged for the kidnapping and murder of the writer. The accused, who according to the Chamber "passed the kidnapped in an automobile" to identify Walsh, also know who betrayed him by passing on the details of the appointment that the writer had in the location where he was kidnapped. Ricardo Coquet, a survivor who testified before federal judge, Sergio Torres, stated that one of the accused, ex-officer Weber, told him proudly "We took Walsh down. The son of a bitch took cover behind a tree, and defended himself with a .22. We hailed him with bullets and he didn't go down, the son of a bitch." According to declarations by detainees who survived, his body was later shown to them in the ESMA (Navy School of Mechanics). In 2011 a dozen members of the task force had finally been convicted of crimes against humanity, with two more facing further charges in the ongoing “mega-trial” of ex-ESMA personnel.

paragraph: Section::::Death.:Judicial process.

paragraph: On October 26, 2005, 12 military personnel were arrested, amongst whom were the ex-naval officer Juan Carlos Rolón, in relation to the death of Rodolfo Walsh.

paragraph: On December 17, 2007, federal judge Sergio Torres mounted a trial on the charge of "illegitimate deprivation of liberty doubly aggravated for having been committed with abuse of office and with the corresponding aggravation of having been perpetrated with violence and threats" and "robbery aggravated for having been committed in public and in a group" of Alfredo Astiz, Jorge "Tigre" Acosta, Pablo García Velasco, Jorge Radice, Juan Carlos Rolón, Antonio Pernías, Julio César Coronel, Ernesto Frimon Weber and Carlos Orlando Generoso. The tenth accused, ex-prefect Héctor Antonio Febrés, died some hours before by ingestion of cyanide.

paragraph: In 2015 the Supreme Court ratified the 2011 sentences and convictions of all the accused.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Rodolfo Walsh's personality has been studied in literary circles as a paradigmatic example of the tensions between the intellectual and the political, or between the writer and the committed revolutionary. Walsh however, thought of himself as a revolutionary more than a writer, and stated so publicly.

paragraph: His "Carta Abierta a La Junta Militar" was brought to cinema through the short film "The AAA are the three services" ("Las AAA son las tres armas"), produced by the group "Base Cinema" ("Cine de La Base"), led by the "disappeared" director Raymundo Gleyzer.

paragraph: Bobby Clark (comedy actor)

paragraph: Robert Edwin Clark (June 16, 1888 – February 12, 1960), known as Bobby Clark, was a minstrel, vaudevillian, performer on stage, film, television and the circus. Known for his painted-on eyeglasses, he was part of a comedy team with Paul McCullough for 36 years.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: He was born in Springfield, Ohio. While still in grammar school he formed a friendship with classmate Paul McCullough. The two attended tumbling classes, and began performing an acrobatic act in minstrel shows and later in the Ringling Brothers' Circus. The team worked as clowns from 1906 to 1912. In 1912 they made their debut in vaudeville with a pantomime act built around the simple act of placing a chair on top of a table. In 1922 they starred in Irving Berlin's Broadway show "Music Box Revue".

paragraph: Section::::Film career.

paragraph: Beginning in 1929, they made a series of about 35 short comedy films, for FOX and RKO, some of which are still extant.

paragraph: Clark & McCullough performed together until McCullough's suicide in March 1936.

paragraph: In 1939 Clark appeared on Broadway in "The Streets of Paris", sharing the stage with a new comedy act: Abbott & Costello.

paragraph: Clark appeared on television during the 1950–51 television season, in the 8–9 pm Sunday night time slot of "The Colgate Comedy Hour"; however, Clark's four episodes were among those sponsored by Frigidaire and titled simply "The Comedy Hour".

paragraph: "The Goldwyn Follies", his last and only film without Paul McCullough, in 1938, was the first Technicolor film produced by Samuel Goldwyn.

paragraph: The Clark & McCullough shorts were made for an adult audience, with Clark writing much of the dialogue. Like Wheeler & Woolsey’s films, they were not released for television, being considered too vulgar. So, they did not enjoy the renaissance of popularity with a new generation, on television, like The Three Stooges, or Laurel & Hardy.

paragraph: Section::::Stage work.

paragraph: He appeared on Broadway in the "Ziegfeld Follies" of 1936. His reputation grew as he tackled roles in plays such as Sheridan's "The Rivals", as well as in musical comedies and revues.

paragraph: Starting in 1942, producer Mike Todd cast him in five Broadway shows, all of them successful: the musical revue "Star and Garter" with Gypsy Rose Lee (1942–43); the Cole Porter musical "Mexican Hayride" (1944–45); Molière’s "The Would-Be Gentleman" (1946); and the revues "As the Girls Go" (1948) and "Michael Todd's Peep Show" (1950).

paragraph: He came out of retirement to tour with "Damn Yankees", 1956–58, in the role created on Broadway by Ray Walston.

paragraph: As well as his better-known stage and film credits, Clark directed and appeared in such Restoration comedy as Congreve's "Love For Love", and lectured on this period of theatre at the American Theater Wing.

paragraph: Bobby Clark died in New York City in 1960.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: John of Procida

paragraph: John of Procida () (1210–1298) was an Italian medieval physician and diplomat.

paragraph: He was born at Salerno, educated in the Schola Medica as a physician. He was a noted physician for his age and received a professorial chair at this university. He came to the attention of Frederick II, who was patron of the university, and he eventually became Frederick's personal physician and attended him to his death. He was also personal physician to Cardinal John Orsini, the future Pope Nicholas III. Being noticed for his intelligence and pragmatism, he rose through the diplomatic ranks in the Hohenstaufen Kingdom of Sicily. He was actually John III, son of John II of Procida and Clemenza Logoteta, of the family of the lords of the island of Procida.

paragraph: He was originally a counsellor of Frederick II of Sicily and was entrusted with the education of Frederick's son Manfred. He was at Manfred's side until his defeat at the Battle of Benevento in 1266. In that year he went to Viterbo, Italy and arranged the marriage of his daughter to the Neapolitan Guelph, Bartholomew Caracciolo, and then served with the Hohenstaufen army. After the defeat of the Hohenstaufens at Tagliacozzo he escaped to Venice. His estates were confiscated by Charles; and his wife and daughter were mistreated or raped by the French knight sent to evict them and one of his sons murdered. In 1269 or 1270 he was in Germany trying to drum up support for the return of the Hohenstaufen to the throne of Sicily. While existing Sicilian legends overplay John of Procida's role in the dramatic politics of this time, Runciman concurs that he was at the centre of a "vast political conspiracy" in support of the House of Hohenstaufen (backed by the Byzantines and their Genoese allies) and against Charles of Anjou and his ally the Pope.

paragraph: In 1279 and 1280 John (or, as Runciman argues, one of his sons at his behest) travelled to Sicily to stir up the discontents in favour of King Peter of Aragon and thence to Constantinople to procure the support of the emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus. Michael refused to aid the Aragonese king without papal approval and so diplomatic efforts turned to Rome, where he gained the consent of Pope Nicholas III, who feared the ascent of Charles of Anjou in the Mezzogiorno. John of Procida then returned to Barcelona. The result of these travels was to link Byzantine gold and Genoese assistance behind Aragonese ambitions in Sicily. Through John's secret diplomatic actions the conditions were set for the 1282 uprising of the Sicilian Vespers which destroyed Charles' crusading invasion fleet (aimed first at recapturing Constantinople) at anchor in Messina, providing the conditions for the security of Constantinople and the ability of Peter III to recover the island.

paragraph: On 2 February 1283, Peter, who had invaded Sicily in the wake of the Vespers uprising, nominated John as Grand Chancellor. He was put in charge of the island when Peter went to France to take up a challenge by Charles later that year. All this did not stop the aged diplomat from continuing his frenetic activity at the varied courts of Europe's monarchs. It was on one of these trips that he died, at Rome, at the age of eighty-eight years, in 1298.

paragraph: The legacy of John of Procida is controversial. "Lu rebellamentu di Sichilia", a Sicilian-language tract from 1290, lauds him highly and it may well be his own memoir as dictated to a scribe. He is more typically portrayed, particularly by Guelph partisans, as "cospiratore contro l'autorità costituita", a "conspirator against the constitutional authority", as in the Tuscan "Liber Jani de Procida et Palialoco", which presents him in negotiations with Michael VIII, and in the "Leggenda di Messer Gianni di Procida", written by a Modenese Guelph. His reputation has experienced a bit of a rehabilitation, and he has been called one of the first politicians and diplomats in the modern senses of the terms. Clearly, his diplomatic role was important: the Sicilian uprising began the War of the Sicilian Vespers, the "world war" of the 13th century, a key event in the subsequent history of Europe.

paragraph: According to legend, he was in Naples "incognito" on 29 October 1268, when they executed Conradin. He supposedly recovered the "guanto di sfida" (gauntlet) Conradin threw into the crowd before his execution.

paragraph: Anton Lazzaro Moro (1687 in San Vito al Tagliamento – 1764) was an Italian abbot, geologist and naturalist. He was one of the leading advocates of plutonism in the early debate that confronted plutonism to neptunism, making him described by some authors as an ultraplutonist. He was the first to discriminate sedimentary rocks from volcanic ones by studying the rocks of volcanic islands. In his study of the crustaceans, he discovered fossils petrified in mountains that led him to deduce those rocks were once buried in the sea.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The family takes its name from the office of constable of Chester, to which Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester, appointed his kinsman, Nigel, Baron of Halton, at the time of William the Conqueror. The founder of the house of Constable in Flamborough was Robert Lacy (d. 1216), surnamed 'Le Constable', ancestor of Marmaduke Constable.

paragraph: Marmaduke Constable, born about 1480, was the second son of Sir Marmaduke Constable (c. 1456/7 – 1518), eldest son and heir of Sir Robert Constable (4 April 1423 – 23 May 1488) of Flamborough, Yorkshire, and Agnes Wentworth (d. 20 April 1496), daughter of Sir Roger Wentworth of North Elmsall, Yorkshire, by Margery le Despencer. Constable's mother was Joyce Stafford, daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford (1400 – 7 June 1450) of Grafton, Worcestershire, slain at Sevenoaks by the rebel, Jack Cade, and Eleanor Aylesbury (born c. 1406), the daughter of Sir Thomas Aylesbury (d. 9 September 1418) and his second wife, Katherine Pabenham (c. 1372 – 17 June 1436).
