JAN I ŻAGAŃSKI

categories: People excommunicated by the Catholic Church,1380s births,1439 deaths

paragraph: Jan I of Żagań

paragraph: Jan I of Żagań () ( – 12 April 1439) was a Duke of Żagań-Głogów, since 1397 (until 1412 with his brothers as co-rulers), since 1403 Duke of Żagań, Krosno Odrzańskie and Świebodzin (again, until 1412 with his brothers as co-rulers) and since 1412 sole ruler of Żagań and Przewóz.

paragraph: He was the eldest son of Henry VIII the Sparrow, Duke of Głogów by his wife Katharina, daughter of Duke Władysław of Opole.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: At the time of Henry VIII's death (14 March 1397) his sons were minors. Duke Rupert I of Legnica took the regency of Głogów until 1401, when Jan I formally assumed the guardianship over his younger brothers Henry IX the Older, Henry X Rumpold and Wenceslaus and began his personal rule in Szprotawa, Przemków, Sulechów, half of Głogów, and Bytom Odrzański.

paragraph: In 1403 their aunt Hedwig of Legnica (Henry VI the Older's widow) renounced her dower lands (Żagań, Krosno Odrzańskie and Świebodzin) to Jan I and his brothers, who ruled jointly all the lands. Thanks to the Privilege of Elector Rudolf III of Saxony in 1408 he could maintain the unity of his Duchy, despite the protest of his brothers, who claimed their own districts. Ultimately, the division was made in 1412: Jan I retained Żagań, and one year later (in 1413) he also took possession over the Duchy of Przewóz, in the Polish-German border area (obtained as a result of his marriage with Scholastika, a daughter of Elector Rudolph III).

paragraph: After the extinction of the main branch of the Dukes of Legnica in 1419, Jan I played an important role at the request of many of the cities of Lower Silesia: he presided the initiative of creating an organization to fight against the gangs of robbers whose regular attack in the roads, cities and monasteries.

paragraph: Jan I performed faithfully his duties as vassal of Bohemia, and therefore in 1420 he took part in the expedition of Emperor Sigismund against the Hussites, and on July 28 of that year he assisted to his coronation as King of Bohemia in Prague.

paragraph: Three years later, John participated together with his brothers in the negotiations between the Emperor and Teutonic Knights in Preszburg (now Bratislava), where was decided an eventual war against Poland. However, given the growing difficulties of the Emperor with the Hussites and the Teutonic Knights's requests for the city of Kežmarok in exchange for his help, this meeting was unsuccessfully.

paragraph: Continued from husytami struggle occurred in the years 1427-1428, when together with his brother Henryk Senior IX supported militarily threatened Łużyckie City. On 1 November 1428 the brothers defeated the Hussite troops at the Battle of Kratzau.

paragraph: In 1429 Jan I went with the Emperor to Łuck, Lithuania, where he took part in the congress were was decided the coronation of Vytautas the Great as King. At the same time, in connection with the growing power of the Hussites, the Duke of Żagań decided to pay them high contributions, which was to ensure the safety of his lands.

paragraph: However, since some time ago, Jan I began to secretly promote the Hussite movement and his revolucionary ideals. On 19 April 1433, together with his brother Henry IX the Older and the Dukes of Oleśnica, he went on tour to Kalisz, where he promised to the Polish King Władysław II Jogaila his participation in the proposed expedition against the Hussites of Krzyżakom (these actions may be, however, a simple desire to safeguard his Duchy against the Hussites in case of a war).

paragraph: After the death of Emperor Sigismund, Jan I stood on the side of his son-in-law Albert V of Habsburg, and on 3 December 1438 he paid tribute to him in Wroclaw. AQs a reward of his loyalty, the new King gave Jan I many benefits, including the right of minting coins in the cities of Szprotawa and Żagań.

paragraph: Jan I had a radical and oppressive rule against his subjects, which led to a conflict with the Augustinian Order in Żagań. At some point, he even captured and imprisoned the Abbot of the monastery, for which he was excommunicated. Because of these events, in contemporary sources he was considered a cruel man and even a sadist, as was further described in the "Roczniku Głogowskim": "when he had sexual relations with his wife he tend to sharpen his spurs". Finally, unable to withstand the brutal treatment of her husband, Scholastika attempted to escape from Żagań. However, she was captured and confined by order of her husband in Nowogród Bobrzański without the right to return to the castle or the capital of the Duchy.

paragraph: Jan I died on 12 April 1439, was buried in Ducal mausoleum of the Augustinian church in Żagań.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Roger III, Duke of Apulia

paragraph: Roger III (1118 – 2 or 12 May 1148) was the eldest son of King Roger II of Sicily and Elvira of Castile. He was the Duke of Apulia from 1134 until his death.

paragraph: Roger's first public act took place at Melfi in 1129, where, though still a child, he accepted the fealty of some rebellious barons along with his father and his younger brother Tancred. His father was crowned king of Sicily the next year on 25 December. It is possible that Roger received the Duchy of Apulia at this time. He had certainly received it from his father by 1134. He was perhaps put under the tutelage or guardianship of Robert of Selby. He took part in his father's campaigns beginning in 1137, when he distinguished himself in the campaign against Ranulf of Alife, whom Pope Innocent II and the Emperor Lothair II had invested as rival duke of Apulia. His first major engagement was the Battle of Rignano on 30 October; a battle in which more experienced warriors, like his father, fled and some, like Duke Sergius VII of Naples, died. Roger's bravery, and success in the first charge, at Rignano solidified his martial reputation early.

paragraph: After Ranulf's death (1139), Apulia was secured, but Innocent and his ally, Prince Robert II of Capua, marched on Melfi. At Galluccio, Roger ambushed the papal troops with only a thousand knights and captured the pope and his entourage. Three days later, on July 25 at Mignano, Innocent confirmed the elder Roger as king, the younger as duke, and the third son, Alfonso, as prince of Capua—officially severing Robert from his support. Next, Duke Roger took the city of Naples into his possession and made it an integral part of the kingdom, ending the republican government which had continued after Sergius' death.

paragraph: In 1140, after the promulgation of the king's Assizes of Ariano, the first "ducats" were minted bearing an effigy of the young duke in battledress beside his father, with their hands on the Cross. The "ducat" was named after the duchy of Apulia. Roger and Alfonso, the second son Tancred being dead, then moved into the Abruzzi to harass papal lands. At that time, late in 1140, Roger's bride to be, Elizabeth, arrived from the court of her father, Theobald II of Champagne. Roger's most famous consort, however, was his mistress, Emma, the daughter of Achard II, Count of Lecce, with whom he had two illegitimate children,

paragraph: BULLET::::- William (after 1137 – 1167/68).

paragraph: In that same year (1140), Richard III of Gaeta died and his duchy was given to Roger.

paragraph: In 1149, barely thirty, Duke Roger died an unknown death in an unknown location. He was mourned by the Arab poet Abu ed-Daw, who said, "the arms of the brave have fallen . . . and the eloquent seek for words in vain." Roger was buried in the chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene next to the old Cathedral of Palermo. He was later transferred to an eponymous chapel now in the barracks of San Giacomo. His successor was his only surviving brother, William, later king.

paragraph: Cynthia von Buhler

paragraph: Cynthia von Buhler a.k.a. Countess von Buhler, is an American artist, author, playwright, performer, and producer.

paragraph: Section::::Immersive Theater.

paragraph: Speakeasy Dollhouse by von Buhler is a true tale of New York City Prohibition-era bootlegging, mafia, infidelity, and murder. Von Buhler had been haunted by a shocking family mystery for years. Her grandparents, Frank and Mary Spano, owned two speakeasies in the Bronx during Prohibition: one that masqueraded as a bakery, the other a secret nightclub. Shortly after Prohibition ended, her grandfather was shot and killed on the street in Manhattan. Her grandmother was pregnant with her mother at the time, and upon hearing the news of the murder she went into labor. Von Buhler's grandfather's body was laid out in one room of their small Bronx apartment while her mother was born in the room next to it. ""Nobody still living in my family knows why my grandfather was shot. Nothing was known about the killer, his motive, or a trial. My grandmother took these secrets to her grave. And so, over the past two years, I have been dusting off a complicated, historically significant story,"" explains von Buhler. To more thoroughly explore her grandfather's murder and events leading up to it, von Buhler created an elaborate speakeasy dollhouse set complete with handmade dolls in her art studio. The set includes a plush secret nightclub, a bakery, a pre-war apartment, a bootlegging bathroom, a morgue, and even Ellis Island. The set contains crime scene details that can be examined from every angle. Von Buhler was featured in the "Gurney For Grandpa" episode of "Oddities (TV series)" discussing this project.

paragraph: Taking it one step further, the artist created an immersive theatrical experience to go along with the sets and her own investigation. Speakeasy Dollhouse stages these events in a historic Lower East Side speakeasy elaborately set up to mirror the dollhouse sets. The actors aren't visually distinguished from the audience, making the audience as key to the show as the performers. The play's tagline is "The speakeasy is my dollhouse and you are my dolls." A limited edition graphic novel book, "The Bloody Beginning", and initial performances in 2011 were paid through Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site. The play will continue into 2015 with tickets available to the general public. Of Dolls and Murder, directed by Susan Marks and narrated by John Waters (Hairspray, Cry Baby), is a documentary about Francis Glessner Lee's crime scene investigation dollhouse dioramas. Marks created an Of Dolls and Murder sequel based on Speakeasy Dollhouse.

paragraph: Speakeasy Dollhouse became the brand name for all of Cynthia von Buhler's immersive theater productions. The original show was renamed The Bloody Beginning.

paragraph: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini follows private investigator Minky Woodcock as she uncovers secrets surrounding the final days of the world-famous escape artist, Harry Houdini. Woodcock's investigation leads her to cross paths with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who believes Houdini is not merely a magician but has supernatural powers, and Bess Houdini, who suspects her husband is cheating on her. Von Buhler investigated the death of Houdini and based her story on true crime evidence.

paragraph: Evelyn Evelyn are a musical duo formed by Amanda Palmer (of The Dresden Dolls) and Jason Webley. According to the fictional backstory described by Palmer and Webley, the duo consists of conjoined twin sisters (aka "Eva" and "Lyn"), Evelyn and Evelyn Neville, who were discovered in 2007 by Palmer and Webley. The twins are actually portrayed by Palmer and Webley,[5] dressed in connected garments.

paragraph: Section::::Children's Books.

paragraph: In 2001 von Buhler was asked by Steven Spielberg to illustrate Martha Stewart's story for "Once Upon A Fairy Tale (Viking)", a book produced to benefit The Starbright Foundation for seriously ill children. In 2002, New York Public Library selected the "handsomely illustrated" ("The New York Times")"They Called Her Molly Pitcher" (Knopf), written by Anne Rockwell and illustrated by von Buhler, as one of "One Hundred Titles for Reading and Sharing." In 2004, von Buhler went on to illustrate "Nicolaus Copernicus: The Earth Is a Planet." Reviews called her "dramatic oil-on-gesso artwork" ("School Library Journal") "handsome and effective" ("Booklist"). "Publishers Weekly" offered high praise for her work on the book: "Von Buhler's paintings exert a gravitational pull of their own." In 2006 von Buhler wrote and illustrated "The Cat Who Wouldn't Come Inside" (Houghton Mifflin) with dual credits as author and illustrator. The book, based on a true story, featured painted clay characters in detailed architectural sets. Book Sense named the book as a Children's Pick for Winter/Spring 2006/2007 for its "beautiful story" and "extremely detailed sets." Kirkus Reviews called the illustrations "unique" and "eye-popping," providing "a glimpse of a world beyond the frame" and pronounced the book "a sheer delight." "Publishers Weekly" thought "readers ... may well be entranced" by the "considerable magic" of von Buhler's illustrations, while "Time Out New York" called the book "beautifully ornate," and "the cat's meow." The book was also chosen as Teacher's Picks: Best of 2006 by "Parent & Child" magazine. A short video was created using the book's images and it remains popular on YouTube. In 2009, von Buhler took a second turn as author and illustrator with "But Who Will Bell The Cats?" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). The book's illustrations feature handmade architectural sets, cinematic lighting, and paper doll oil paintings of the characters in action. "Kirkus Reviews" stated that "young readers will pore over this one again and again," and "School Library Journal" agreed that "children will find a lot to discover in the details, even after repeated readings." The Nassau County Museum of Art in New York exhibited the book's elaborate miniature sets in a solo exhibition between September 20, 2009 and January 3, 2010. During the summer of 2010 Von Buhler exhibited the miniature sets in an animatronic window display that she created for Books of Wonder in Manhattan. A video was created for YouTube which shows how enlarged characters from her book move and "play" with the miniature dollhouse sets and characters. Time Out Kid's did a feature article on the window along with a slideshow showing von Buhler creating it. Elizabeth Bird, New York Public Librarian and "School Library Journal" posted a lengthy review of the book on her "School Library Journal" blog, "Is it wrong that I sometimes want to blow a four-year-old's mind? I've come to the decision that Cynthia von Buhler's "But Who Will Bell the Cats?" is going to be my library's secret weapon from here on in." Von Buhler has also illustrated dozens of young adult book covers including "Queen's Own Fool" by Jane Yolen, "The Road to Damietta" by Scott O'Dell, and two Newbery medal winners, "The Bronze Bow" by Elizabeth George Speare and "The Perilous Guard" by Elizabeth Marie Pope.

paragraph: Section::::Fine art.

paragraph: In August 2001 she held an event at Castle von Buhler dubbed "The Great Purge" where she sold off most of her possessions. Von Buhler separated from Adam Buhler and moved to a artist loft in New York City's Meatpacking District. Farewell articles were published in "The Boston Globe", "The Improper Bostonian" and "The Boston Phoenix" citing her as producing "some of the most sensuous, humorous, ridiculous, outlandish, and inspired art and entertainment in Boston." At this point von Buhler began utilizing unconventional media in her art: video projection, living fauna, found objects, human detritus, and electronic audio. By combining these media, often enhanced with text and electronics, von Buhler's canvasses frequently became kinetic installations. "Regardless of medium, all of von Buhler's pieces require the viewer to get involved: sometimes physically, by feeding a caged animal or inserting a coin to operate a machine. For example, "Sir Repetitious," a man's transparent insides reveal two live rats, hungry for the food and attention of onlookers – feed the rodents with the supplied seed, and you are satisfying "Sir Repetitious" on physical and metaphorical levels. Miss Ann Thrope is a life-sized painting of a woman with two doves perched inside. When the birds move in the piece, they change its equilibrium and alter its intended meaning. A velvet-curtained puppet theater sets the stage for Show and Tell, a multimedia painting that explores the use of word versus action with hidden visual and auditory messages. "Please Don't Look Up My Skirt" is a commentary on date-rape in which a Botticelli-esque girl without arms or legs tries modestly to cover herself, imploring the viewer not to violate her; those who disregard the plea see what they have become when they look up her skirt. Cynth-O-Matic offers various plastic capsules containing actual samples of the artist's body hair and fluids from a vending machine. The piece is von Buhler's critique of those who attend art openings to chat with the artist and scarf hors d'oeuvres without buying any art. For only 25 cents they can buy a piece of the artist. Von Buhler's work provides commentary on morality, vanity, politics, and the art world itself". From 2001 - 2007, von Buhler's work appeared on the covers of "New York's Gallery Guide", "Communication Arts", "Step by Step Graphics",[64] and "NY Arts". A photograph of von Buhler taken at her New York loft for "The Boston Globe" was enlarged and used on billboards advertising the publication. Inspired by lying politicians, von Buhler altered and old carnival machine for "Shake Hands With Uncle Sam." For 25 cents, viewers shake Uncle Sam's hand, the dial spins, and lands on audio samples of "Weapon of mass destruction," "Iran Contra," "No New Taxes," or one of seven other bipartisan audio clips. The piece was created for "The Presidency" exhibit at Exit Art in Manhattan. In 2005, von Buhler created a video for another exhibit at Exit Art, "The Studio Visit". Her video was singled out by "New York Times" art critic Roberta Smith as one of the best. She also was chosen by the art space to move her art studio to the gallery for a few months where she had to create her work in the window while people watched her through Exit Art's windows. Her fine art appeared on TV in "Law & Order SVU" as the artwork of a serial killer, and in a fight scene of the show Kidnapped. In March 2006, A"rt & Antiques" named von Buhler as "one of the top contemporary surrealists."

paragraph: However, she has also been linked to the Lowbrow, and Fluxus movements. Her art has been displayed in galleries and museums around the world, and her work is in the collections of Howard Stern, Jann Wenner, The Nassau County Museum of Art, The Staten Island Museum, The University of Toronto, The Opera Company of Philadelphia, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and hundreds of personal collections.

paragraph: Section::::Fine art.:The Carrozzini von Buhler Gallery.

paragraph: The Carrozzini von Buhler Gallery, also known as CvB Space, an art gallery, film location, and event space in New York City's Meatpacking district was owned and directed by von Buhler from 2003 - 2008. Stefania Carrozzini was the director of International Exhibition Projects at The Carrozzini von Buhler Gallery. In February, 2007, von Buhler curated an exhibit titled "Andy Warhol: In His Wake" featuring Warhol's superstars, Ultra Violet, Taylor Mead, Billy Name, and Ivy Nicholson along with artists such as Anton Perich and Amy Cohen Banker who were influenced by Warhol. For this exhibit von Buhler created "The Great Warhola", an interactive, fortune-telling machine. Von Buhler claims that Warhol was a fortune teller, "with reality television and YouTube everyone has the 15 minutes of fame that Warhol predicted for them". This popular exhibit was featured on television in Japan, Switzerland and Germany. CVB Space and the historic, industrial building it is housed in has been featured in "Sex and the City", "Law & Order SVU", and "Someone Like You" (starring Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, and Greg Kinnear) and will be appearing in "No Reservations" (starring Catherine Zeta-Jones). CvB Space has become CvB Spaces, a location leasing agency for film and photography shoots. Von Buhler is the president of CvB Spaces

paragraph: Section::::Illustration.

paragraph: In the mid-nineties, she and Adam Buhler a.k.a. Adam von Buhler bought a large purple Victorian house in the Allston neighborhood of Boston. She painted the walls in jewel tones with patterns of climbing vines. "It was a creative turning point for me. When I moved into my house, I needed art for the walls. So, I started making these paintings that were much different than the style I had been working in. That is when I decided not to make any artwork that I did not want to put on my wall." Von Buhler's three-dimensional paintings have been reproduced and featured in a diverse variety of books, magazines, and newspapers from "Rolling Stone" to "The New Yorker". Her work has appeared in more than a thousand magazines, books, publications, billboards, and CDs. In 1995 she was interviewed about her art in Mary Magdalen: An Intimate Portrait on the Lifetime Network. The expose was narrated by Penelope Ann Miller and also featured interviews with Martin Scorsese and Arch Bishop Rembert Weakland. In addition, a von Buhler portrait of Mary Magdalen which had been commissioned by The New Yorker was featured in the show's introductory graphics. In 1998, she was hired by Viking Publishing to illustrate a children's book, Nicholas Nicholson's "Little Girl in Red Dress With Cat and Dog". This book garnered von Buhler a starred review in Publishers Weekly, which praised the "imaginative debut" and her "distinct sense of time and place." A tarot deck based upon the writings of William Shakespeare, "The Shakespeare Oracle: Let the Bard Predict Your Future," written by A. Bronwyn Llewellyn, was illustrated by von Buhler and released in 2003. In 2004 von Buhler's portraits of Madonna and Jimi Hendrix accompanied essays by Britney Spears and John Mayer in the "50th Anniversary of Rock and Roll" issue of "Rolling Stone". The painting of Jimi Hendrix was built with a Stratocaster guitar as the singer's spine and the piece was set on fire. Both paintings are now in the collection of Jann Wenner.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: At the same time she changed her name, von Buhler became involved in the music industry. She started a performance art band, Women of Sodom, which won a Best Music Poll Award from the Boston Phoenix in 1997 and became a Boston sensation. Women of Sodom headlined clubs across the country and opened for Gwar, Voivod, God Lives Underwater and Psychotica. The band performed at New York City's Roseland Ballroom and Boston's Avalon as part of the Sextacy Ball, with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Lords of Acid also on the bill. "Boots" featured vocals and lyrics by von Buhler and music by Xavier Dietrich II and was released in 1997 on Pussykitty Records. At this time von Buhler and her husband started a record label named after their house with the award-winning designer Clifford Stoltze. "In the 1990s, it was impossible to walk into an Allston club or Cambridge bar without tripping over one of Cynthia von Buhler's paintings, music projects, or a band signed to her record label. If there was ever a queen of the Boston scene, it was von Buhler." Castle von Buhler also released a series of art and music CD compilations titled "Soon, Anon," and "Nigh". The artist explains the titles this way: "Soon there will be a cure for AIDS...and then we came up with "Anon" and "Nigh" which means the same thing." In honor of von Buhler's close college friend, William Lincoln Tisdale, who had died from the disease, proceeds from these compilations were donated to various AIDS charities. The CDs won various design awards and many of the young illustrators who created the artwork flourished. Von Buhler contributed musically and artistically to the compilations and her first work (which incorporated a live dove) was honored by Society of Illustrators in New York City. Curators began approaching von Buhler, offering her exhibits in Boston and New York City. She was chosen by "Boston Magazine" as one of the "40 Bostonians We Love" in their June 2002 cover feature article. Von Buhler was frequently featured on the covers of "The Boston Globe", "The Boston Phoenix", "The Improper Bostonian", and many other Boston-based art and music publications. She appeared so frequently in "The Boston Phoenix" they named her "their unofficial mascot." She also appeared twice on MTV; as Bettie Page in an MTV music video for the band The Amazing Crowns (which was previewed on Beavis and Butthead) and in a sitcom called "Apt 3F". Von Buhler formed and managed her husband's band "Splashdown", and helped them get signed with Capitol Records. In 2001, after "Splashdown" angrily left Capitol Records, von Buhler's band "Countess" released a rock opera record about the evils of pop stardom and the music industry. Ironically, the project was funded through a demo deal from MCA Records. Countess was nominated for a Boston Music Award. They opened for Karen Finley at Royally F***ed, a three-day event featuring visual and performance art in at The Boston Institute of Contemporary Art and the Paradise Rock Club. In 2001, the last year that von Buhler lived at Castle von Buhler, she turned the second floor into The Dietrich von Buhler Gallery "for artists who want to do things that aren't market-driven, that aren't necessarily for sale, that are cutting-edge. Art that you probably wouldn't want to put in your house but is really interesting to view, and opens your mind to new ideas.", A curator from The Whitney Museum in New York City stopped by looking for artists to be featured in their Whitney Biennial exhibit., The house became well known for von Buhler's unique parties and art exhibits.

paragraph: An avid animal lover and rescuer, von Buhler currently lives with her husband, Managing Director at PDT Partners and violinist Russell Farhang,

paragraph: and a veritable zoo of animal species in Manhattan and at an estate, The Fur Gnarl, in Connecticut.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Early life.

paragraph: Von Buhler (born Cynthia Carrozza) was raised in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the middle child in an artistic family with six children. Of her childhood, she says "As soon as we could hold a scissor, we learned every kind of craft imaginable, and worked in three dimensions, not just two." Creative from the start, she created large-scale papier-mache floats for her hometown Halloween parades, and won her first art award while she was still in grammar school. Growing up in the Berkshires, surrounded by world-class theater, von Buhler staged, performed and sang in plays at school and camp. Her high school graduation was held at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts.

paragraph: Von Buhler studied art and children's books at The Art Institute of Boston. After graduating she continued her studies at Richmond, The American International University in London.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Royalty connection.

paragraph: Von Buhler's family is rumored to be descended from the royal Italian Sforza family through an illegitimate child. This Sforza line was given the title of "Count" by the Pope to give them legitimacy. An Italian diplomat and anti-Fascist politician of this line is Count Carlo Sforza. In a manifesto von Buhler wrote in 2001 she explains why she has a title. "My grandmother's maiden name is Sforza, and the rumor in the family is that we are related to the infamous Francesco Sforza of Milan, known for treachery, hiring Leonardo da Vinci as his plumber, beautiful mistresses, and a delicious Italian nougat candy called Torrone." A friend began referring to the gothic Victorian house as Castle von Buhler and the name stuck—the press dubbed the artist Countess Cynthia von Buhler.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Parties.

paragraph: Von Buhler is renowned for throwing lavish, circus-themed parties.These parties started in Boston and have continued in Connecticut and New York City. In 2010 von Buhler illustrated a graphic novel entitled "Evelyn Evelyn: A Terrible Tale in Two Tomes" (Dark Horse), about conjoined twins. The book was a collaboration with musicians Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley, and the foreword was written by Neil Gaiman. To celebrate the completion of the artwork for the two-set book, Palmer and Gaiman's marriage engagement, and her own birthday, von Buhler's held a lavish, 'Freaks'-themed birthday party at a Manhattan penthouse loft. Von Buhler was dressed in a custom-made latex mermaid tail and greeted her guests from a claw foot bathtub filled with water. In homage to the BP Oil Spill victims von Buhler created an oil-slick mermaid installation featuring live models. The party was attended by many literary luminaries: Lemony Snicket, Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Ames, Michael Chabon, Adele Griffin and others. Scenes from the rooftop merry-go-round, von Buhler's art, and Empire Snafu Restoration Project art were used in Salman Rushdie's book trailer for Luka and the Fire of Life. A few of the party guests were also chosen as actors for the trailer.

paragraph: Tugan Sokhiev

paragraph: Tugan Taymourazovitch Sokhiev ( / Soxity Tajmurazy fyrt Tuhan, , born 1977, Vladikavkaz, Ossetia) is a Russian-Ossetian conductor.

paragraph: Sokhiev began piano studies at age 7. He first conducted at age 17, inspired by Anatoly Briskin, the conductor of the North Ossetia State Philharmonic Orchestra. He subsequently attended the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, where he was one of the last students of Ilya Musin before the latter's death in 1999. Sokhiev's first opera as a conductor was in a production of "La bohème" in Iceland.

paragraph: After seeing that production, General Director of Welsh National Opera (WNO) Anthony Freud named Sokhiev WNO's music director in December 2001, effective from 2003, for an initial contract of 5 years. His initial conducting work with WNO as music director was in revivals of "Don Giovanni", "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "I Pagliacci". His first new production as WNO music director was of "Eugene Onegin". He was also in charge of the Russian Series for WNO which contained works by many famous Russian composers. In August 2004, Sokhiev resigned from WNO with immediate effect, after problems with the cast of their new production of Verdi's "La Traviata". Reports indicated a decline in morale among the WNO orchestra and chorus, and questions about whether Sokhiev was too young and inexperienced for the post.

paragraph: In 2005, Sokhiev became principal guest conductor and musical adviser with the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse. He received the accolade 'Révélation musicale de l'année' from the French Critics' Union in 2005, after a Paris performance with the Capitole de Toulouse orchestra. In September 2008, he became the orchestra's music director. In September 2010, he was named principal conductor and artistic director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO Berlin), effective in 2012, with an initial contract of 4 years. He took the title of principal conductor designate with immediate effect. In January 2014, the Bolshoi Theatre named Sokhiev its new music director, with an initial contract of 4 years, effective 1 February 2014. In October 2014, Sokhiev stated his intention to stand down from his DSO Berlin post after the 2015-2016 season, to devote greater attention to his Bolshoi post.

paragraph: Giottino (fl. 1324 – 1369), also known as Tommaso Fiorentino, was an early Italian painter from Florence. His real name was Maso di Stefano or Tommaso di Stefano.

paragraph: Giottino's father, Maestro Stefano Fiorentino, "Stefano the Foorentine", was himself a celebrated painter in the school of Giotto; his naturalism earned him the appellation "Scimmia della Natura", the "Ape of Nature" for his perceived realism. He instructed his son, who applied himself to studying the works of the great Giotto. Since he formed his style on Giotto's works, Maso became known as Giottino. the "little Giotto".

paragraph: The frescoes in the chapel of San Silvestro in the Florentine Basilica of Santa Croce are attributed to Giottino; these represent the miracles of Pope St Sylvester as narrated in the "Golden Legend".

paragraph: A large number of other works have been attributed to Giottino including "Apparition of the Virgin to St Bernard" and a marble statue erected on the Florentine campanile.

paragraph: Giorgio Vasari, the chronicler of the Italian Renaissance, includes a biography of Giottino in the second part of his famous "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects" ("Le Vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori da Cimabue insino a' tempi nostri").

In 1898 he met art historian Bernard Berenson and became his student. From the time Perkins was young he had an interest in Italian art history and in particular for works produced in Tuscany and Umbria in the 14th and 15th centuries. Throughout his life he not only studied these works but also produced catalogs and research about them. He collaborated with specialist art magazines, for example "Rassegna" "d'Arte" (founded in 1901) and "La Diana," where he published some of his research.

paragraph: Želimir Altarac Čičak

paragraph: Želimir "Čičak" Altarac (born 21 August 1947) is a Yugoslav and Bosnian rock promoter, poet, songwriter, music critic, and publicist.

paragraph: His pioneering work with various Sarajevo-based rock acts, in both creative and organizational capacity, has made him a well known behind-the-scenes figure on the country's music scene.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Widely known as Čičak (burdock) for his curly hair, Altarac attended the First Sarajevo Gymnasium from 1961 until 1965, a period during which he grew increasingly infatuated with Western pop culture, specifically rock music coming from the United States and United Kingdom that had already been gaining a devoted audience among the youth of communist Yugoslavia. Teenage Čičak thus often found himself skipping gymnasium classes in pursuit of activities he was more interested in — organizing local rock gigs, writing and reciting poetry, moderating music events, and editing the gymnasium newsletter "Polet". He developed a particular interest in the crossover between poetry and rock music, reciting his own poetry at different student manifestations over the coming years. Among the more memorable such events from this period was a beatnik-like stage setup where upstart actors Etela Pardo and Branko Ličen were reciting Čičak's verses while budding musician Ranko Rihtman provided musical cover on keyboards.

paragraph: In the late sixties in the basement of a student house Mladen Stojanović, in downtown Sarajevo, the first underground club Barutana was taking shape. Obviously not without Čičak participating from the very beginning. It was in Barutana were many, later famous musicians of BiH and former Yugoslavia started their journey in some sort of Bosnian/Yugoslavian "tower of songs". Čičak soon commenced a tailor made program "Čičak plus Čičak" (“Burdock Plus Burdock") where Želimir Altarac Čičak and band Čičak that already gained reputation of best DJ in former Yugoslavia jointly performed, and where youngsters were getting together in Barutana to listen to the latest music productions from around the world, particularly progressive and avant-garde genres. It was also there that

paragraph: Čičak made yet another successful step towards, not only working with the music but rather working on the music of his own.

paragraph: His cooperation with pop-rock group Kodeksi (Codex) resulted in three great hits according to the Sarajevo Radio Chart (the best media platform for progressive music waves of that time). He wrote lyrics for Eduard Bogeljić's song "Lutalica" (Wandereranduhe also o madr remaske of two great world hits "To Love Somebody" of Bee Gees and "Song of a Baker" of Small Faces.

paragraph: Section::::Time of affirmation: DJ, journalist, promoter.

paragraph: His collaboration with famous rock group Indexi helped Želimir Altarac Čičak to further sharpen his poetic expression in pop rock music. He is the author of the lyrics of one of the most famous Index's songs such are: "Negdje na kraju u zatišju" (“Somewhere, at the end of a road, where everything goes down to silence”),"Svijet u kome živim" (The World I live In). A truth seeking of "Negdje na kraju u zatišju" was firstly published in the aforementioned Polet just to be later musically arranged and almost perfectly tuned by famous Yugoslavian guitarist and member of Indexi Slobodan Bodo Kovačević, who actually made a 12-minute-long song which starts and ends with recitation. It was a somewhat unusual and new form of musical expression at the time, but was very successful according to the Radio Sarajevo Music Chart. Želimir Altarac Čičak also later wrote "Povratak Jacka Trbosjeka" (Return of Jack the Ripper) as one the hits of historical maxi single of Indexi published in 1972., although the song "The World I live In" is still holding the record as the most played song on Indexi concerts ever and furthermore as the most played and rearranged song by the other groups including Teška Industrija, Konvoj, rock legend Branimir Štulić, Gruhak, "Krug" (The Circle),The Evolution,Texas Flood ...

paragraph: Besides his experiences with Barutana and collaboration with Indexi, follows Yugoslav tours entitled Top Rock disco show, and he was a winner of European competition of DJ's in Istrian city of Rovinj. Čičak has always shown a great interest in working as a music radio host. His journey to achieving this started in 1974, at the Radio Sarajevo where he was initially hosting Pop Orion and then consequently in later years radio shows such as Attention please, mind the Dynamite on the Vinyl, Balads in the shadow of skyscrapers and, Joyful Electronics. When the Radio Sarajevo started its late night programme in 1981, Čičak was among the significant few to immediately jump in. He helped Radio Sarajevo with his moving borders spirit, but he was also helped by the Radio Sarajevo to make his name in the music realm of Former Yugoslavia. His late night program started with a show called Discothèque at half past two, which was certainly just an introduction into one of the most famous radio shows in former Yugoslavia Charade of acoustic which thousands of people from Slovenia down to the Mazedonia tuned in to in the prime time between 4.30 p.m. -6.00 p.m.

paragraph: He soon started yet another adventure by traveling to different places within former Yugoslavia with his "flying" discothèque called Top Rock Disco Show. Very positive perception of music critics and thousands of listeners encouraged Čičak to undertake yet another endeavor – discovering and promotion of new rising stars.

paragraph: From 1977. to 1982. at Sloga cultural club, downtown Sarajevo, Želimir Altarac Čičak was paving the way for a new generation of rock musicians to show their talent. Talented young musicians and rock groups to be, from those garage bands to the school ones, were dreaming of having an opportunity to present themselves at Sloga. Those who were proven to be the best did really get the opportunity - Žaoka (Sting), Flota (Fleet), Top (Canon), Kako had, Mali print (Small Prince), Rock Apoteka (Rock Pharmacy), Tina, Ozbiljno Pitanje (A Serious Question), Linija života (Life Line), Posljednji autobus (The Last Bus), Lucifer, Velika Porodica (The Big Family)... This healthy competition of its own had helped forging new domestic pop rock concepts and shaped up later to be among the biggest pop-rock bands in the former Yugoslavia - Zabranjeno Pušenje, Plavi orkestar, Crvena jabuka, Bombaj Štampa, Valentino, Gino Banana, and singer Mladen Vojičić Tifa...They had also opened the door of fame to somewhat at the time smaller bands who just later gained their momentum of fame- Vatreni Poljubac, Divlje jagode, Film (band), Buldožer, Galija...

paragraph: As one might expect, Čičak was not lulled by success and fame, but instead continued to spread new narratives and discover new territories. At Đuro Đaković Workers' University Amphitheatre, from 1977. to 1980., he was organizing lectures about the world and domestic trends in pop rock music. As journalist and music critic, Želimir Altarac Čičak was publishing articles and editorials in almost all leading newspapers and magazines in Sarajevo and former Yugoslavia - "VEN", "Večernje novine", "Svijet", "Oslobođenje", "Džuboks", and "Rock".

paragraph: The year 1984. has particular significance in Želimir Altarac Čičak's carrier. In back then Olympic metropolis of the world ( that was the year of the Fourteenth Olympic Winter Games in Sarajevo), Želimir Altarac Čičak took over the editorial stick at so called Youth Centre Skenderija (Dom Mladih) where he was relentlessly working from 1984–1992 His name was well known, his experience undisputed and Sarajevo as relatively small town and very vivid music scene in comparison ti Zagreb and Belgrade was ready for its "five minutes" of fame as a cultural capital of the former Yugoslavia. It was at Dom Mladih were Želimir Altarac Čičak for the first time organised traditional music manifestation of wider significance : “Yu heavy metal fest" (1986-1991) i "Festival of pop-rock bands of BIH - significant newcomers" or in native language "Nove nade nove snage" (Dom mladih 1984-1992). For all those who happen to even superficially know the pop rock scene of the former Yugoslavia names such are: Dino Merlin, Hari Mata Hari, Konvoj (Convoy), Regina (Bosnia and Herzegovina band), Letu štuke, Protest (Demonstration), Knock Out (Apokalipsa), Rupa u zidu - (Damir Avdić Diplomatz) can be enough argument for understanding a role a Youth Centre and Čičak were playing in modern music history of Sarajevo, BiH and region. All of them started their very successful carriers at Čičak's Festival "Significant Newcomers".

paragraph: Section::::Rock marathons (1979, 1984, 1989.).

paragraph: A really special place and meaning in Želimir Altarac Čičak's entire career belong to Rock Marathons organized under the banner: "Ž.A. Čičak - with a little help from my friends".
