paragraph: Jacques Higelin

paragraph: Jacques Joseph Victor Higelin (18 October 1940 – 6 April 2018) was a French pop singer who rose to prominence in the early 1970s. Early in his career, many of Higelin's songs were effectively blacklisted from French radio because of his controversial left-wing political beliefs and his association with left-wing advocacy groups.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Higelin was born on 18 October 1940. His father, Paul, a railway worker and musician of Alsatian descent, introduced his two sons to various forms of music, while his mother, Renée, of Belgian descent, raised them both.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Higelin's entertainment career began at age 14, when he left school to work as a stunt double. While playing a number of minor roles in motion pictures, Higelin was taught to play the guitar by Henri Crolla, a French-Italian jazz guitarist and a composer of film scores. By the early 1960s, Higelin was attending the René Simon drama school, where he won the François Perier award.

paragraph: For two years beginning in 1961, Higelin served in the French military in various countries. Upon returning to France, he resumed his film career but increasingly began to focus on music. By the end of the decade, he had become very active in the artistic underground in Paris and began to channel his music towards radical activism.

paragraph: Higelin began attracting popular attention through his live concerts, typically held in smaller venues, and released his first solo album in 1971. By the middle of the 1970s, Higelin had become one of France's most successful pop musicians, and he remains influential to this day.

paragraph: In the 70's Higelin was in a relationship with a French-Vietnamese woman called Kuelan Nguyen. She accompanied him during the recording of an album at Château d'Hérouville Studio, where Iggy Pop was also recording his debut solo album "The Idiot". Iggy Pop became infatuated with Nguyen, who rejected him, but the incident inspired the song China Girl (song), which later became a hit when re-recorded by David Bowie.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and death.

paragraph: Higelin had three children, all of whom became artists:

paragraph: Colin Tennant, 3rd Baron Glenconner

paragraph: Colin Christopher Paget Tennant, 3rd Baron Glenconner (1 December 1926 – 27 August 2010) was a British aristocrat. He was the son of Christopher Grey Tennant, 2nd Baron Glenconner, and Pamela Winefred Paget. He was also the nephew of Edward Wyndham Tennant and Stephen Tennant, and the brother of the novelist Emma Tennant.

paragraph: Before succeeding to the peerage in 1983, he had travelled widely, especially in India and the West Indies. He was an avid socialite and a close friend of Princess Margaret, to whom his wife was a lady-in-waiting. In 1958, he purchased the island of Mustique in The Grenadines for £45,000.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Colin Tennant was born on 1 December 1926, the son of the second Baron Glenconner. His mother Pamela was the daughter of Sir Richard Paget, 2nd Baronet. After his parents divorced in 1935, he was educated at Eton College; but, for years, Tennant rarely saw his father. Holidays from Eton were spent with his maternal grandmother, Muriel Paget, a formidable grande dame who had diverted a train from the Crimea to Siberia in World War I to save the lives of 70 British nannies.

paragraph: After finishing his schooling at Eton, Tennant enlisted in the Irish Guards, serving during the tail end of World War II and attaining the rank of lieutenant.

paragraph: After the war he went up to New College, Oxford. At Oxford, he gained a reputation for being "terribly kind to plain girls with nice manners and extremely waspish to pretty ones with nasty manners".

paragraph: After graduating, he worked for the family's merchanting business, C. Tennant, Sons & Co, and at the same time, began to attract the attention of the gossip columns as Princess Margaret's escort. During the early 1950s, he was often involved in amateur dramatics; in 1953, he took part, with Princess Margaret, in a production for charity of an Edgar Wallace play, "The Frog"; Tennant played the title role (a serial killer) and the Princess was Assistant Stage Director.

paragraph: It was during this period that Tennant was spotted as a possible husband for Princess Margaret, who had been publicly hurt by the collapse of her hopes of marrying the divorced commoner Group Captain Peter Townsend during 1953. During the following year, he was forced to deny newspaper reports that he would shortly announce his engagement to the Princess. "I don't expect she would have had me," he was quoted as saying, in later years.

paragraph: On 21 April 1956, Tennant married Lady Anne Veronica Coke (born 16 July 1932), by whom he later had three sons and twin daughters. Lady Anne was the daughter of Thomas Coke, 5th Earl of Leicester. Lady Anne had been one of Queen Elizabeth II’s Maids of Honour at the 1953 coronation, and was also a friend of the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret.

paragraph: Princess Margaret met future husband Tony Armstrong-Jones, who was hired to take wedding pictures, at Tennant's wedding.

paragraph: Section::::Mustique.

paragraph: After purchasing the Caribbean island of Mustique in 1958, Tennant built a new village for its inhabitants, planted coconut palms, vegetables, and fruit, and developed the fisheries.

paragraph: In 1960 the British royal yacht "Britannia" carried Princess Margaret and her new husband, now Lord Snowdon, on a honeymoon cruise around the Caribbean. The royal couple visited Mustique to accept a wedding gift from Tennant, a plot of land on which the Princess was to build her holiday retreat, Les Jolies Eaux.

paragraph: The cost of running Mustique depleted Glenconner's family fortune, and he was obliged to take on business partners. Eventually, he went into exile on St. Lucia, where for many years he ran the "Bang Between the Pitons" restaurant (now sold to the adjacent Jalousie Plantation hotel). Glenconner and his involvement in Mustique has been the subject of multiple documentaries. In 1971, he was interviewed by Alan Whicker for an episode of "Whicker's World" set on the island. In 2000, a documentary by Joseph Bullman was made, entitled "The Man Who Bought Mustique". It chronicled Glenconner's first visit to Mustique since his exile.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1963, his father, the 2nd Baron Glenconner, sold the family business to Consolidated Goldfields, and Tennant suddenly inherited £1 million. At first father and son were retained as chairman and deputy chairman, but after his father's retirement in 1967, Tennant failed to become chairman and resigned. Over the years the Tennants became significant landowners as well as industrialists. Part of their land was in the West Indies, including a neglected 15,000 acres in Trinidad.

paragraph: Section::::Family and inheritance.

paragraph: Colin Tennant inherited the peerage title and the Tennant baronetcy, along with the family's Scottish estate of The Glen, in 1983, on the death of his father. The couple came to divide their time between their house on St. Lucia and their home in England. Together with his daughter May and her husband Anton, Glenconner began to develop the Beau Estate property between the Pitons. As his eldest son, the Hon. Charles Edward Pevensey Tennant (1957–1996), predeceased him, Glenconner was succeeded by his grandson, Cody Charles Edward Tennant (born 2 February 1994).

paragraph: In December 2009, Tennant, then aged 83, learned that he was also father to London psychotherapist Joshua Bowler. Bowler's mother, the artists' model and bohemian Henrietta Moraes, had become pregnant following a weekend spent with Tennant after the New Year's Eve 1954 Chelsea Arts Club Ball. However, she never told Tennant about the pregnancy, and married the actor Norman Bowler seven months later; the couple divorced two and a half years after that. After Moraes' death in 1999, Bowler decided to investigate his parentage and wrote to Tennant after a mutual friend recalled seeing the young Tennant and Moraes leave the 1954 ball together. A paternity test revealed that Tennant was indeed Bowler's father, news that Tennant looked upon as "quite magical." Tennant later hosted a family party to welcome and introduce Joshua Bowler to the Glenconner clan, and announced his intention to recognise him in his will.

paragraph: Lord and Lady Glenconner had five children:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Hon. Charles Edward Pevensey Tennant (15 February 1957 – 19 October 1996). He married Sheilagh Scott in 1993. His son Cody Charles Edward Tennant (born 2 February 1994) became the 4th baron.

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Hon. Henry Lovell Tennant (21 February 1960 – 1990), married 1983 Teresa "Tessa Tennant" Cormack; their son, Euan Lovell Tennant (born 22 July 1980), is the current heir presumptive to the barony. Euan is married to Helen Tennant, they have son William Henry Tennant (b. 2012).

paragraph: Andreas Aurifaber

paragraph: Andreas Aurifaber (born Goldschmidt, 1514 – 12 December 1559) was a German physician of some repute, but through his influence with Albert of Brandenburg, last grand-master of the Teutonic Knights, and first Protestant duke of Prussia, became an outstanding figure in the controversy associated with Andreas Osiander whose daughter he had married.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Breslau (Wrocław); Johannes Aurifaber of Breslau was his younger brother. He studied at the University of Wittenberg in 1527, and there became a friend of Philip Melanchthon. In 1529 he became rector of the Latin school at Danzig (Gdańsk), and two years later accepted a similar post at Elbing (Elbląg).

paragraph: The bounty of Duke Albert of Prussia enabled him to pursue the study of medicine at Wittenberg and in Italy, and after 1545 he was physician to the Duke and professor of physics and medicine in the newly established University of Königsberg. There he wrote a number of treatises on physics and physiology.

paragraph: In 1550 he married a daughter of Osiander, and became involved in the bitter controversy aroused by the latter’s views on justification and grace. After Osiander's death in 1552, Aurifaber, who in the preceding year had been made rector of the university, became the leader of the Osiandrian faction and made use of his office and his influence over the duke to crush the rival faction in Prussia, driving its adherents from the university in 1554. He went on to travel extensively throughout Germany, aroused the hatred of the conservatives, who assailed him with extreme virulence. Aurifaber, however, retained his influence until his death, which occurred suddenly, in the antechamber of the Duke in Königsberg, on December 12, 1559.

paragraph: Canute V of Denmark

paragraph: Canute V Magnussen () ( – 9 August 1157) was a King of Denmark from 1146 to 1157, as co-regent in shifting alliances with Sweyn III and Valdemar I. Canute was killed at the so-called "Bloodfeast of Roskilde" in 1157. Nothing certain is known about his person and character.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Canute was born around 1129, the son of King Niels' son Magnus I of Sweden. After the abdication of Eric III in 1146, the magnates of Jutland declared Canute king, while the magnates of Zealand and Scania crowned Sweyn III, the nephew of Canute Lavard who Magnus had killed in 1131.

paragraph: In the following years, Canute tried in vain to defeat Sweyn III on Zealand for complete control over Denmark. In 1147, Canute and Sweyn united to undertake the Wendish Crusade, which however ended in the re-ignition of their strife. Sweyn and his cousin Duke Valdemar, the son of Canute Lavard, defeated Canute in Jutland in 1150, and Canute fled to his father-in-law Sverker I of Sweden. Canute attempted a number of reconquests, all of them unsuccessful, and turned to Frederick Barbarossa for help. The resulting compromise of 1152, which was supported by Valdemar, made Canute the inferior co-regent of Sweyn. However, Sweyn decided not to effectuate the deal.

paragraph: Canute now formed an alliance with Valdemar and Sverker, whose daughter Helena of Sweden Canute was to marry. Sweyn fled Denmark in 1154, and Canute struck a deal with Valdemar, making him his co-ruler under the name Valdemar I. Canute was an inferior king to Valdemar, and after Sweyn's re-entry into Denmark, a final compromise was struck in 1157, under pressure from the Danish magnates. Sweyn, Canute, and Valdemar were set up as co-rulers, with Canute ruling Zealand. During the peace banquet in Roskilde on 9 August 1157, later known as the "Bloodfeast of Roskilde", Sweyn attempted to kill both Canute and Valdemar. Canute was allegedly killed by one of Sweyn's warriors.

paragraph: Canute's half-sister Sofia of Minsk married Valdemar, who avenged him the same year by killing Sweyn at the Battle of Grathe Heath to win Denmark for himself.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: Not more than a year before his death, Canute married Princess Helen of Sweden, but they had no children. Canute fathered a number of children out of wedlock:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Saint Niels of Aarhus (died 1180); he lived as monk

paragraph: Luis Cáncer

paragraph: Servant of God Luis Cáncer de Barbastro or Luis de Cáncer (1500 – June 26, 1549) was a Dominican priest and pioneer Spanish missionary to the New World. He undertook a non-violent approach to converting the American Indians to Christianity, and had significant success in this regard in the Caribbean and later in Guatemala. In 1549 he continued his mission work in Florida, an area already ravaged by previous explorers, and was killed on the shores of Tampa Bay. After his death he was regarded as a martyr of the Catholic Church.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Cáncer was born at Barbastro in Aragón in 1500. Luis entered the Dominican order and was inspired like many of his time to go to the New World in an effort to spread Christianity.

paragraph: Fray de Cáncer came to the New World in 1518 and worked successfully for some time among the native peoples of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. He then ventured to the mainland and had particular success in Guatemala. A disciple of the famed Indian protector, Bartolomé de las Casas, Father de Cáncer's efforts were so successful in an area that was known for its bellicose natives, that it was renamed the “Province of True Peace.” He believed that aggression and violence were counter-productive to the spread of the Gospel and that the native peoples needed to be treated with dignity. He had great success in pacifying the Indians whom more violent methods had failed to subdue. He upheld the cause of the natives at an ecclesiastical assembly held in Mexico in 1546.

paragraph: Section::::Florida expedition and death.

paragraph: Following his missionary success in Guatemala, Cáncer proposed a peaceful mission to Florida. The peninsula had already been ravaged by the expeditions of Pánfilo Narváez and Hernando de Soto and was regarded as very hostile to the Spanish, and Cáncer argued that further violence would never bring about its conversion to Catholicism and submission. In 1547, King Charles V approved Cáncer's Florida mission. However, the royal decree stipulated that the mission land at Florida's upper east coast, avoiding hostile territory in southern Florida and the Gulf Coast where earlier conquistadors had gone.

paragraph: Cáncer recruited fellow Dominicans Gregorio de Beteta, Diego de Tolosa, Juan García, and a certain Brother Fuentes. Leaving Vera Cruz, they reached Havana in 1549. There, they took on a converted Florida Indian, Magdalena, a "highly recommended" interpreter. The expedition then left for Florida on a caravel captained by Juan de Arena. Despite the warnings to avoid the Gulf Coast, Arena took them to an area south of Tampa Bay, only miles from where the previous expeditions had landed. There, they encountered a group of apparently peaceful and receptive Indians, who told them about the many populous villages of the Tocobaga chiefdom around Tampa Bay. Perceiving the possibility of goodwill, the expedition split, with Magdalena, Diego de Tolosa, Brother Fuentes, and an unknown sailor joining the Indians on the half-day's land route, and Cáncer returning to the caravel to meet them at the bay.

paragraph: The caravel reached Tampa Bay on June 23, 1549, but only Magdalena and a group of Indians greeted them. Magdalena, now "much changed" and wearing Indian attire, told Cáncer that she had convinced the local chief that the friars were peaceful, and that the other Spaniards were now his guests. Cáncer and the others returned to the caravel that evening, and on board they found Juan Munos, a sailor who had been enslaved by the Indians years before but now escaped. Munos indicated that the Tocobaga had killed the two friars and enslaved the sailor. Beteta and García wanted to flee immediately and sail for the east coast of Florida, but Cáncer refused to leave a land "hallowed by the life blood" of his compatriots. The next day, the three men rowed to shore, where they saw a group of hostile Indians, and Cáncer exited the boat. He waded to shore and prayed for a while. Upon rising, he was brought to the group and beaten to death with clubs.

paragraph: Section::::More recent recognition.

paragraph: Though not a canonized saint, he is nevertheless regarded by Catholics working for the canonization of the martyrs of "La Florida" as the proto-martyr of Florida. In 1860, Bishop Augustín Verot decided that the first parish on Florida's west coast should be named St. Louis Church in his honor. Likewise, in 1918 Fr. de Cáncer's likeness was installed as part of a large stained glass window at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer (New York) run by the Dominican Order of priests. In 1998 the Diocese of St. Petersburg established the Fr. Luis de Cáncer Distinguished Priestly Service Award to be given annually to a priest of the Diocese of St. Petersburg who best exemplifies selfless and dedicated service to the people of God. Espíritu Santo Catholic Church in Safety Harbor, Florida, which is not far from the location of his death, also has a stained glass window that depicts de Cáncer's martyrdom. In 2011 the diocese placed a Catholic Heritage Marker at the main entrance of that church, acknowledging both his and other early Catholic missionary efforts in the Tampa Bay area. In 2015, the Vatican bestowed the title "Servant of God" on Cáncer and 85 Native American and Spanish victims of Native American and English colonial aggression, while it formally began to consider them for canonization as martyrs, which the bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States have endorsed.

paragraph: Domenico Gagini (Bissone, c. 1425–30 - Palermo, 29–30 September 1492) was a Swiss-Italian sculptor who was active in Northern as well as Southern Italy.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was the son of Pietro Gagini. The Gagini were a family of sculptors and painters working during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. First recorded in Genoa in the early 15th century, was Domenico's grandfather Beltrame Gagini, and his three sons Pietro, Giovanni and Pace.

paragraph: Domenico Gagini was the first sculptor of this family to achieve international fame. Born at Bissone, in the Ticino (now part of Switzerland) he studied in Florence under Brunelleschi. Returning to Genoa in 1447 he worked on the sculpture of the dome of the church of S. Giovanni Battista. In 1457 he was recorded as working in Naples for Alfonso of Aragon. In 1463 he arrived in Palermo, Sicily where he, and later his family including Antonello and Antonio, influenced the decorative architecture of the island, in works of both decorative and figure sculpture.

paragraph: One of Domenico Gagini's most notable works is the decoration of the choir in Palermo Cathedral, which consists of a combination of life size figures within relief panels, plus a large number of small free standing figures.

paragraph: Gagini died in Palermo in 1492.

paragraph: Osorkon III

paragraph: Usermaatre Setepenamun Osorkon III Si-Ese was Pharaoh of Egypt in the 8th Century BC. He is the same person as the Crown Prince and High Priest of Amun Osorkon B, son of Takelot II by his Great Royal Wife Karomama II. Prince Osorkon B is best attested by his "Chronicle"—which consists of a series of texts documenting his activities at Thebes—on the Bubastite Portal at Karnak. He later reigned as king Osorkon III in Upper Egypt for twenty-eight years after defeating the rival forces of Pedubast I/Shoshenq VI who had apparently resisted the authority of his father here. Osorkon ruled the last five years of his reign in coregency with his son, Takelot III, according to Karnak Nile Level Text No. 13. Osorkon III's formal titulary was long and elaborate: Usermaatre Setepenamun, Osorkon Si-Ese Meryamun, Netjer-Heqa-waset.

paragraph: Section::::Accession.

paragraph: Osorkon III's precise accession date is unknown. Various Egyptologists have suggested it may have been from around the mid-790s BC to as late as 787 BC. The issue is complicated by the fact that Prince Osorkon B did not immediately declare himself king after his successful conquest of Thebes and defeat of Shoshenq VI. This is evidenced by the fact that he dated this seminal event to Year 39 of Shoshenq III rather than Year 1 of his reign. Osorkon III may, therefore, have waited for a minimum of one or two years before proclaiming himself as a Pharaoh of the Theban-based 23rd Dynasty. Osorkon may also have been motivated to defeat or pacify any remaining supporters of the Pedubast I/Shoshenq VI rival faction in other regions of Upper Egypt whether they were in Elephantine, the Western Desert Oasis region—where Pedubast I is monumentally attested—or elsewhere in order to consolidate his position. Hence, Year 1 of Osorkon III is likely equivalent to Year 1 or Year 2 of Shoshenq IV instead, rather than Year 39 of Shoshenq III.

paragraph: Section::::Identity.

paragraph: Osorkon III is attested by numerous impressive donation stelae and stone blocks from Herakleopolis Magna through to Thebes. He is generally thought to have been a contemporary of the Lower Egyptian 22nd Dynasty kings, Shoshenq IV, Pami, and the first decade of Shoshenq V's reign. Osorkon III's chief wife was Queen Karoadjet but his second wife was named Tentsai. A stela of Prince Osorkon B calls his spouse Tent[...] with part of the name being lost. The latter name can be rendered as either Tentsai or Tentamun. Significantly, however, both men have a daughter called Shepenupet.

paragraph: Secondly, according to Ōhshiro Michinori, Anthony Leahy, and Karl Jansen-Winkeln, an important donation stela discovered in 1982 at (ancient Akoris) reveals that Osorkon III was once a High Priest of Amun in his own right. The document explicitly calls Osorkon III, the High Priest of Amun. Osorkon III, thus, was almost certainly the High Priest Osorkon B, who defeated his father's opponents at Thebes in Year 39 of Shoshenq III, as Leahy notes.

paragraph: The identification of HPA Osorkon with King Osorkon III was first proposed by David Rohl and Peter James in 1982 where they state the following:

paragraph: This theory has now been accepted by many Egyptologists, including Jürgen von Beckerath, Karl Jansen-Winkeln, Gerard Broekman, and Aidan Dodson, among others, with the notable exception of Kenneth Kitchen. Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton sum up the evidence by noting:

paragraph: Osorkon probably lived into his eighties, which explains why he appointed his son Takelot III as the junior coregent to the throne in his final years. He would have been in failing health by this time. Osorkon III's coregency with Takelot III is the last attested royal coregency in ancient Egyptian history. Later dynasties from Nubia, Sais, and Persia all ruled Egypt with a single king on the throne.

paragraph: Karnak Nile Level Texts No. 6 and 7, dated to Year 5 and 6 of Osorkon III, calls his mother the "Chief Queen Kamama Merymut." Similarly, Prince Osorkon B's mother was identified as Queen Kamama Merymut II, wife of Takelot II. The slightly different renderings of this Queen's name almost certainly refers to the same person here: Osorkon B/III.

paragraph: Section::::Consorts.

paragraph: According to Kenneth Kitchen, Osorkon III's chief consort, Queen Karoadjet, was the mother of Shepenupet I, the God's Wife and Divine Adoratrice of Amun, while his lesser wife Tentsai was the mother of Osorkon III's two sons: Takelot III and Rudamun. Shepenupet I outlived both her half-brothers as the serving God's Wife of Amun at Thebes and survived into the reign of the Nubian ruler, Shebitku, where she is depicted on the small temple Osiris-Heqa-djet in the Amun precinct of Karnak, which was partially decorated by this king.

paragraph: Girolamo Genga

paragraph: Girolamo Genga (c. 1476 – 11 July 1551) was an Italian painter and architect of the late Renaissance, Mannerist style.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Genga was born in a region near Urbino. According mainly to Giorgio Vasari's biography, by age thirteen Genga had gained an apprenticeship in Orvieto under Luca Signorelli. He was afterwards for three years with Pietro Perugino, in company with Raphael. He next worked in Florence and Siena (where he decorated the Petrucci palace c. 1508), along with Timoteo della Vite; and in the latter city he painted various compositions for Pandolfo Petrucci, a leading local statesman.

paragraph: Returning to Urbino, he was employed by Duke Guidobaldo da Montefeltro in the decorations of his palace, and showed extraordinary aptitude for theatrical adornments. He is recorded as having helped design the decorations for the Duke's funeral in 1508. From Urbino, he travelled to Rome and painted one of his masterpieces, "The Resurrection", for the church of Santa Caterina da Siena.

paragraph: Francesco Maria I della Rovere, duke of Urbino, recalled Genga, and commissioned him to execute works in connection with his marriage to Eleonora Gonzaga in 1522. This prince was soon afterwards expelled by Pope Leo X, and Genga followed him to Mantua. When Della Rovere regained Pesaro, he had Genga reconstruct a former castle into a suburban villa, known as the Villa Imperiale This semi-rural retreat was refurbished from c. 1530 onwards. Its sunken court is the direct precedent for the more famous one at Villa Giulia, Rome, For the fresco decoration of the interior, Genga recruited a number of major Mannerist painters, including Francesco Menzocchi, Bronzino, Dosso Dossi, and Raffaellino dal Colle. The duke of Urbino was eventually restored to his dominions; he took Genga with him, and appointed him the ducal architect and decorator. He worked extensively on the Villa Imperiale on Mount Accio.

paragraph: Among his work in Urbino, was the scenography of plays, for example, Castiglione described the sumptuous decoration (presumably Genga's) of the performance of Bibbiena’s "La Calandria" in Urbino on 6 February 1513. He also decorated the chapel of San Martino in the cathedral.

paragraph: Genga was a sculptor as well as a musician. Among his pupils was his own son Bartolommeo (1518–1558), who became a respected architect. There are few extant paintings by Genga. One of his leading works is in the church of Sant'Agostino in Cesena: a triptych in oil, representing the "Annunciation, God the Father in Glory, and the Madonna and Child". Among his architectural works are the church of San Giovanni Battista in Pesaro; the bishop's palace at Senigallia; the façade of the Mantua cathedral; and fortifications near Pesaro.

paragraph: Genga retired to a house in the vicinity of Urbino, continuing still to produce designs in pencil.

paragraph: Jacques Demy

paragraph: Jacques Demy (; 5 June 1931 – 27 October 1990) was a French director, lyricist, and screenwriter. He appeared in the wake of the French New Wave alongside contemporaries like Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. Demy's films are celebrated for their sumptuous visual style. Demy's style drew upon such diverse sources as classic Hollywood musicals, the documentary realism of his New Wave colleagues, fairy-tales, jazz, Japanese manga, and the opera. His films contain overlapping continuity (i.e., characters cross over from film to film), lush musical scores (typically composed by Michel Legrand) and motifs like teenaged love, labor rights, incest, and the intersection between dreams and reality. He is best known for the two musicals he directed in the mid-1960s: "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964) and "The Young Girls of Rochefort" (1967).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After working with the animator Paul Grimault and the filmmaker Georges Rouquier, Demy directed his first feature film, "Lola", in 1961, with Anouk Aimée playing the eponymous cabaret singer. The Demy universe here emerges full-fledged. Characters burst into song (courtesy of composer and lifelong Demy-collaborator Michel Legrand); iconic Hollywood imagery is lovingly appropriated, as in the opening scene with the man in a white Stetson in the Cadillac, daringly set to Beethoven's Seventh Symphony); plot is dictated by the director's fascination with fate, and stock themes of chance encounters and long-lost love; and the setting, as with so many of Demy's films, is the French Atlantic coast of his childhood, specifically the seaport town of Nantes.

paragraph: "La Baie des Anges" ("The Bay of Angels", 1963), starring Jeanne Moreau at the height of her fame, took the theme of fate further, with its story of love at the roulette tables.

paragraph: Demy is perhaps best known for his original musical, "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg" ("The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", 1964), with a score by Legrand. Although the subversion of established genres was a typically New Wave obsession (notably Godard's playful "Neorealist musical", "A Woman Is a Woman"), Demy was unusual in actually recreating them literally. The whimsical concept of singing all the dialogue sets the tone for this tragedy of the everyday. The film also sees the emergence of Demy's trademark visual style: whereas "Lola", filmed by Godard's cinematographer Raoul Coutard, has a New Wave black-and-white austerity, "Les Parapluies" is shot in saturated supercolour, with every detail—-neckties, wallpaper, even Catherine Deneuve's bleached-blonde hair—selected for maximum visual impact. Roland Cassard, the young man from "Lola" (Marc Michel) reappears here, marrying Deneuve's character. Such reappearances are typical of Demy's work. Kurt Vonnegut was a huge fan of "Les Parapluies", writing in private correspondence: "I saw "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", which I took very hard. To an unmoored, middle-aged man like myself, it was heart-breaking. That's all right. I like to have my heart broken."

paragraph: Demy's subsequent films never quite captured audience and critical acclaim the way that "Les Parapluies" had, although he continued to make ambitious and original dramas and musicals. "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort" (1967), another whimsical-yet-melancholic musical, features Deneuve and her real-life sister Françoise Dorléac as sisters living in the seaside town of Rochefort, daughters of Danielle Darrieux. It was shot in color widescreen CinemaScope and featured an Oscar-nominated musical score, as well as dance appearances by Gene Kelly and "West Side Story"'s George Chakiris.

paragraph: In 1968, after Columbia Pictures gave Demy a lucrative offer to shoot his first film in America, he and his wife, film director Agnès Varda, moved to Los Angeles briefly. Demy's end product was a naturalistic drama: 1969's "Model Shop". Lola (Anouk Aimée) reappears, her dreams shattered, her life having taken a turn for the worse. Abandoned by her husband Michel for a female gambler named Jackie Demaistre (Jeanne Moreau's character from "Bay of Angels"), Lola is scrounging to make enough money to return to France and her child, by working as a nude model in a backdoor model-shop on the Sunset Strip. She runs into an aimless young architect Gary Lockwood, who navigates the streets of Los Angeles; like Lola, he is looking for love and meaning in life. "Model Shop" is a time capsule of late-1960s Los Angeles and documents the death of the hippie movement, the Vietnam draft, and the ennui and misery that results from broken relationships. This bleakness and decided lack of whimsy—uncharacteristic for Demy—had a large amount to do with "Model Shop"'s critical and commercial failure.

paragraph: "Peau d'Âne" ("Donkey Skin", 1970) was a step in the opposite direction as a visually extravagant musical interpretation of a classic French fairytale which highlights the tale's incestuous overtones, starring Deneuve, Jean Marais, and Delphine Seyrig. It was also Demy's first foray into the world of fairy tales and historical fantasia, which he would explore more closely in "The Pied Piper" and "Lady Oscar."

paragraph: Although none of Demy's subsequent films captured the contemporary success of his earlier work, some of them have since been reappraised: David Thomson wrote about "the fascinating application of the operatic technique to an unusually dark story" in "Une chambre en ville" ("A Room in Town", 1982). "L'événement le plus important depuis que l'homme a marché sur la lune (1973) ("A Slightly Pregnant Man")" is a look back at the pressures of second-wave feminism in France and the fears it elicited in men. "Lady Oscar" (1979), based on the Japanese manga series "The Rose of Versailles", has been discussed and analyzed for its queer and political subtext (the title character is born female, her father raises her as a male so she can get ahead in 18th-century French aristocracy, and she eventually falls in love with her surrogate brother, a working-class revolutionary).

paragraph: "Parapluies de Cherbourg" has since been color-restored twice from original prints by Demy. In 2014, The Criterion Collection released a boxset of Demy's most "essential" work, with hours of supplements, essays, and restored image and sound. The films include: "Lola", "Bay of Angels", "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", "The Young Girls of Rochefort", "Donkey Skin", and "Une Chambre en Ville", as well as most of Demy's early short films.

paragraph: Bill Wurtz

paragraph: Bill Wurtz (stylized as bill wurtz) is a multi-instrumentalist and online video creator based in New York City. He is known for his distinctive musical and comedic style which includes deadpan delivery and singing paired with colorful surrealist, psychedelic, and non-sequitur graphics. Wurtz, who has been making music since 2002, posts his songs and jingles on his website and YouTube channel.

paragraph: Section::::Notable projects.

paragraph: Section::::Notable projects.:Vine.

paragraph: Wurtz first gained a following on the video-microblogging Vine, where he began by taking short videos he had previously only published to his website and Twitter account and re-editing them to fit Vine's six-second restriction. Before transitioning fully to YouTube, Wurtz was uploading a video to Vine nearly every day. His most popular vines were "still a piece of garbage" (approximately 343,000 likes, and approximately 168,000 "re-vines"), "what are you waiting for you dumb stupid fuck" (approximately 117,000 likes, and approximately 52,000 "re-vines"), and "i don't want to go to school" (approximately 88,000 likes, and approximately 45,000 "re-vines").

paragraph: Section::::Notable projects.:"history of japan".

paragraph: Despite some interest on Vine, Wurtz achieved Internet stardom with "history of japan""," a nine-minute YouTube video that outlines Japan's history from 40,000 B.C.E to 1991 C.E. It showcases Wurtz's quirky visual and comedic style through a mixture of fast-paced narration and animation, intercut with short musical jingles. It went viral after its release on February 2, 2016, receiving 1.7 million views in two days and more than quadrupling Wurtz's subscriber count in 1 week. it had over 47.5 million views.

paragraph: Section::::Notable projects.:"history of the entire world, i guess".

paragraph: Wurtz is best known for "history of the entire world, i guess", a 20-minute follow-up to "history of japan" released on May 10, 2017. Expanding greatly on the subject matter — the video took over 11 months to produce, including almost 3 months of research — it briefly covers the topics of natural history and human civilization spanning from the Big Bang to the near future. It went viral after its release, receiving 1.1 million views in its first 8 hours; a total of 3.2 million views on its first day, and had 13 million views by the end of its first week. It was the top video on the YouTube trending page on the day of its release, and was listed at eighth place on YouTube's list of the top 10 trending videos of 2017. it had over 67 million views. It has been described as Wurtz' magnum opus.

paragraph: Section::::Notable projects.:Music videos.

paragraph: Wurtz has been making music videos to accompany his full-length songs on and off since 2010. After finishing the history videos, music videos have become the prominent part of his creative output. Between August 21st and December 25th, 2018, Wurtz released a total of nine full-length music videos along with new songs. During this time period Wurtz worked under a two-week schedule, releasing a new song and music video every two weeks. This was a breakthrough, since they previously could take up to 14 weeks to make. He described the schedule as a "training exercise to increase the quality in ways I never would have found otherwise". Wurtz is still actively making music videos and has opted to create a music video for every new song he releases, despite it slowing down his songwriting considerably.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Wurtz employs a lo-fi jazz-pop style in his music, incorporating elements of smooth jazz, funk and easy listening. Overall, his music evokes malaise, self-deprecation, and a "blurring of the lines between irony, parody and honesty". This is often paired comedically with dire circumstances or sobering undertones. Wurtz used to produce his songs using GarageBand, after which he named one of his EPs, "Bach Garageband". He has since been utilizing Logic Express 9.

paragraph: Wurtz's videos are typically in a neon aesthetic, and have been described as surreal and psychedelic. They often involve deadpan humour, dancing stick figures, neon lyrics on-screen, and vaporwave-like transitions. Wurtz often follows similar patterns in his videos such as multi-layering, including screenshots of built-in macOS applications such as TextEdit, along with clip art images, and showing himself playing "air drums", overlaying images where the drumheads would be. He has stated that this basic style arose out of a necessity to publish content regularly, and evolved naturally. Wurtz uses Final Cut Express 4 to create his videos.

paragraph: At Vidcon 2018, Wurtz answered a question about why his style is so different from other YouTube musicians. He explained that he doesn't watch any other creators on the platform. Instead, he simply does what he thinks is normal. "My secret is just live under a rock, and stay there," he said. He states on his website that one of his most important goals is to "go my own way and deliver things that challenge and defy… expectations".

paragraph: Wurtz has struggled with perfectionism, and is actively trying to overcome it by creating schedules and setting deadlines for himself. In response to a fan question he explained that in the process of overcoming perfectionism he has "been forced to become an expert on carelessness".

paragraph: Furthermore, Wurtz is known for his unwillingness to run advertising on his content, or accept sponsorships, even though he admitted the pressure to do so is "enormous". He has explained that advertisements make him "uncomfortable" and that he thinks they "suck". Despite that, all of Wurtz' content is available for free on his website. Wurtz makes a living through a combination of crowdfunding on Patreon, direct donations through PayPal, streams on music streaming services, and merchandise sales. However, he does not heavily promote any of these revenue streams.

paragraph: Section::::Website.

paragraph: While Wurtz has a larger audience on external platforms like YouTube, he is still the most active on his own website, "billwurtz.com". It was launched in 2014, but has been described as looking like it was made in the late 90s due to its simple design. Apart from containing all of his released songs and videos, the website also features many other types of content not available elsewhere. This includes a questions page, on which he frequently responds to anonymous questions from fans. Most responses are short and often cryptic, or even poetic in nature, while occasional ones are highly detailed. The first question was posted on May 5th, 2015, and Wurtz has since answered over 2,000 questions. The website also has an anagram page, where Wurtz allows fans to request words or phrases out of which he creates anagrams. Additionally, Wurtz has posted audio clips of musical improvisation, jazz covers, original instrumental tracks, as well as vlog-style 'reality' videos depicting his creative process.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborations.

paragraph: Wurtz is known as a solo artist, usually playing all the instruments in his songs himself. In the past, Wurtz rarely publicly recorded with other musicians. However, he has expressed a desire to start collaborating more, stating that he "has become insanely sick of himself" and that he is "desperate to collaborate with as many people as possible".

paragraph: On March 11, 2019, Wurtz appeared on drums in a video by the cover band Scary Pockets. They performed a funk cover of the song "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League. On April 1, 2019, he played drums on another Scary Pockets cover, this time of the song "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: On April 11, 2016, Wurtz won the Shorty Award for "Best in Weird" at the 8th Shorty Awards for his six-second videos on Vine ("history of japan" was released after the voting and so was not included in the award consideration). His acceptance speech for the award was notably curt, as he walked up to the mic, said "Thank you", and walked off the stage right after. He has stated in a video on his website that this was entirely intentional, having been directly inspired by an acceptance speech given by André 3000.

paragraph: Section::::List of works.

paragraph: Section::::List of works.:Music videos.

paragraph: Since May 2014 Wurtz has published numerous full-length music videos, following the same format of his shorter videos. He made them available on his YouTube channel:

paragraph: Section::::List of works.:Songs.

paragraph: Wurtz has published many other full-length songs not accompanied by music videos. They are all available on his website, and some are also available on streaming services. Songs include:

paragraph: Jacques Roumain

paragraph: Jacques Roumain (June 4, 1907 – August 18, 1944) was a Haitian writer, politician, and advocate of Marxism. He is considered one of the most prominent figures in Haitian literature. The African-American poet, Langston Hughes, translated some of Roumain's works, including "Gouverneurs de la Rosée" ("Masters of the Dew").

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Roumain was born on June 4, 1907, in Port-au-Prince to wealthy parents. His grandfather, Tancrède Auguste, served as the President of Haiti from 1912 to 1913. He was educated in Catholic schools in Port-au-Prince, and, later, in Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany and Spain. At twenty years old, he returned to Haiti and formed "La Revue Indigene: Les Arts et La Vie" ("The Indigenous Review: Arts and Life"), along with Philippe Thoby-Marcelin, Carl Brouard, and Antonio Vieux.

paragraph: He was active in the struggle against the United States' occupation of Haiti. In 1934 he founded the Haitian Communist Party. Because of some of his political activities, his participation in the resistance movement against the United States' occupation, and most notably, his creation of the Haitian Communist Party, he was often arrested and finally exiled by then President Sténio Vincent.

paragraph: During his years in exile, Roumain worked with and befriended many prominent pan-African writers and poets of the time, including Langston Hughes. During this time he was also affiliated with Columbia University in New York City, where he conducted ethnographical research. With a change in government in Haiti, Roumain was allowed to return to his native country. Upon returning, he founded the Office of Ethnology. In 1943, President Élie Lescot appointed him chargé d'affaires in Mexico, where his newly found creative freedom permitted him to complete two of his most influential books, the poetry collection "Bois D'ébène" ("Ebony Wood") and the novel, "Gouverneurs de la Rosée" ("Masters of the Dew"). He also published that year the seminal paper "Lithic Workshop of the Ciboney of Haiti," and as a result was regarded as the father of Haitian archaeology.

paragraph: Much of Roumain's work expresses the frustration and rage of people who have been downtrodden for centuries. He included the mass of the people in his writing and called on the poor union to move against privation.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: On August 18, 1944, Jacques Roumain, one of Haiti's most respected and complex writers, died of still unknown causes at age 37. Roumain created some of the most colorful, dynamic, and moving poetry of his generation. His writings continue to influence and shape Haitian culture and the pan-African world of today.

paragraph: By the time of his death, Roumain had become an acclaimed writer in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. His great novel, "Gouverneurs de la Rosée", has achieved a permanent place among great Caribbean and Latin American literature. It is a novel that is still studied at universities, read by new generations, and acted out by theatrical groups.

paragraph: Section::::Quotes.

paragraph: What are we? Since that's your question, I'm going to answer you. We're this "country", and it wouldn't be a thing without us, nothing at all. Who does the planting? Who does the watering? Who does the harvesting? Coffee, cotton, rice, sugar cane, caco, corn, bananas, vegetables, and all the fruits, who's going to grow them if we don't? Yet with all that, we're poor, that's true. We're out of luck, that's true. We're miserable, that's true. But do you know why, brother? Because of our ignorance. We don't know yet what a force we are, what a single force - all the peasants, all the Negroes of the plain and hill, all united. Some day, when we get wise to that, we'll rise up from one end of the country to the other. Then we'll call a General Assembly of the Masters of the Dew, a great big "coumbite" of farmers and we'll clear out poverty and plant a new life. --"Masters of the Dew", p. 106
