paragraph: Fulk III, Count of Anjou

paragraph: Fulk III, the Black (970–1040; ) was an early Count of Anjou celebrated as one of the first great builders of medieval castles. It is estimated Fulk constructed approximately 100 castles, along with abbeys throughout the Loire Valley in what is now France. He fought successive wars with neighbors in Brittany, Blois, Poitou and Aquitaine and made four pilgrimages to Jerusalem during the course of his life. He had two wives and three children.

paragraph: Fulk was a natural horseman and fearsome warrior with a keen sense of military strategy that bested most of his opponents. He was allied with the goals and aims of the Capetians against the dissipated Carolingians of his era. With his county seat at Angers, Fulk’s bitter enemy was Eudes II of Blois, his neighbor 128 km east along the Loire River, at Tours. The two men traded towns, followers and insults throughout their lives.

paragraph: Fulk finished his first castle at Langeais, 104 km east of Angers, on the banks of the Loire. Like many of his constructions, it began as a wooden tower, and was eventually replaced with a stone structure, fortified with exterior walls, and equipped with a thick-walled tower called a "donjon" in French (source of the English dungeon, which however implies a cellar, rather than a tower). He built it in the territory of Eudes I, Count of Blois, and they fought a battle over it in 994. But Eudes I died of a sudden illness, and his son and successor, Eudes II, did not manage to evict him.

paragraph: Fulk continued building more towers in a slow encirclement of Tours: Montbazon, Montrésor, Mirebeau, Montrichard, Loches, and even the tower of Montboyau, erected just across the Loire from Tours in 1016. He also fortified the castles at Angers, Amboise, Chateau-Gontier, Chinon, Mayenne and Semblançay, among many others. “The construction of castles for the purpose of extending a ruler’s power was part of Fulk "Nerra"’s strategy,” wrote Peter Fraser Purton, in "A History of Medieval Siege, c. 450–1220".

paragraph: Fulk was a devout Christian, who built, enlarged or endowed several abbeys and monasteries, such as the Abbey of Beaulieu-les-Loches, Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, Saint-Aubin, and a convent, Notre Dame de la Charité at Ronceray in Angers. Although he never learned to write, he endowed a school with revenue to provide poor students with an education. Fulk also undertook four pilgrimages to Jerusalem.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He was the son of Geoffrey I of Anjou, also known as Geoffrey "Grisegonelle", and Adélaide of Vermandois. He had an older sister: Hermengarde (b. 960), who married Conan of Brittany and a younger brother Geoffrey. A half-brother, Maurice, was born in 980.

paragraph: Fulk married Elisabeth de Vendôme (~979–999), daughter of Count Bouchard of Vendome, and they had a daughter:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Adèle., married Bodon, son of Landry, Count of Nevers. Their eldest son, Bouchard, inherited Vendôme.

paragraph: Elisabeth’s death was recounted in the "Chronicles of Saint-Florent": Elisabeth occupied the citadel at Anger with some supporters and while under siege from Fulk, she suffered a fall from a great height, and then was burnt at the stake for adultery.

paragraph: Fulk married Hildegarde de Sundgau, whose family was from Lorraine, around December 1005. They had two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Geoffroy II, in 1006, who became known as Geoffroy Martel, succeeded Fulk as Count of Anjou in 1040.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ermengarde-Blanche, around 1018.

paragraph: Section::::Combat.

paragraph: Fulk Nerra’s first victory was in June 992 at Battle of Conquereuil, where he managed to defeat Conan I, Duke of Brittany. Conan’s territorial ambitions had been quashed by Geoffroy Grisgonelle in 980, and seven years later, he planned an ambush on Angers while Fulk was at the crowning of Robert the Pious. Fulk and his men foiled the ambush, killing Conan’s son, Alain, in the process. In 992 Fulk laid siege to Conan’s castle at Nantes, but he slipped away to Conquereuil. Conan was killed in the battle, and Fulk installed a governor/regent, as the succeeding count was a child.

paragraph: While Fulk and Eudes II fought many skirmishes over territory and alliances, their biggest battle occurred in July 1016 at Battle of Pontlevoy. Eudes marched 10,000 men southward toward Fulk’s tower at Montboyau; meanwhile, Fulk and his much smaller group attacked him from behind. Fulk’s men were routed, retreated, and Eudes, thinking the battle won, went for a swim in the Cher River. Reinforcements led by Herbert Wake-Dog of Maine arrived to help Fulk, fought and routed Eudes' surprised men. Several thousand were reported killed.

paragraph: Section::::Pilgrimages.

paragraph: Fulk also undertook four pilgrimages to Jerusalem--first and second as a penitent seeking forgiveness for sins and third and fourth to protect pilgrims. In 1003, Fulk traveled to Jerusalem for his first pilgrimage. The journey was across the Alps at the Grand Bernard Pass in today’s Switzerland, over land to Bari in the southern Italian peninsula (a stop in Rome was usually made), by ship to the Holy Land. The travel took as long as six months, through deeply dangerous territory.

paragraph: Fulk made a second pilgrimage in 1008, obliged to do so by the king as punishment after Fulk ordered the murder of an enemy. For his third and fourth trips, Fulk had a moral obligation to protect pilgrims in the years following the desecration of Jerusalem by the "Mad Caliph" Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, and provided armed security against robbers, murderers and enslavers along the route. In 1035, the third pilgrimage with Robert I, Duke of Normandy and in 1038, he made his final pilgrimage. He died in Metz in 1040 on his return from that trip, and was buried in the chapel of his monastery at Beaulieu.

paragraph: Section::::Succession.

paragraph: Geoffroy Martel was Count of Anjou from 1040 to 1060, but had no children from either of two marriages. The Anjou title went to his nephews, the two sons of his sister Ermengarde-Blanche (m. Geoffroy V of Château-Landon). Geoffroy III "Le Barbu" (the Bearded) was Count of Anjou from 1060 to 1098; Fulk IV Réchin (the Mouth) was count from 1098 to 1109. Fulk IV's grandson, Geoffrey Plantagenet, married Matilda, heir to the English throne, and began the House of Plantagenet line of English kings.

paragraph: Master of 1302

paragraph: The so-called Master of 1302 was an Italian painter active in Emilia in the first half of the 14th century. His works were basically Gothic in style, with modernized touches; his name comes from a set of votive frescos painted for bishop Gerardo de' Bianchi, who died in 1302; among these is a "Madonna and Child Enthroned with an Angel and John the Baptist", including a portrait of the donor, located in the Baptistry of Parma. Another pair of frescoes, in the third and fourteenth niches, appear to be by the same hand. Other paintings associated with the Master show the influence of Lombard art, especially with a cycle in Como depicting the story of Saints Fausta and Liberata. A detached fresco, depicting the "Madonna and Child" and now found in the Pinacoteca in Cremona, has also been ascribed to him.

text: John Ernest Laidlay – Cricket Scotland

categories: People educated at Loretto School, Musselburgh,Scottish male golfers,1860 births,People from East Lothian,Amateur golfers

paragraph: Johnny Laidlay

paragraph: John Ernest Laidlay (5 November 1860 – 15 July 1940) was a Scottish amateur golfer. He invented the most popular golf grip used today, although the grip is credited to Harry Vardon, who took it up after Laidlay.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Laidlay was born in Seacliff, two miles east of North Berwick, East Lothian, the son of John Watson Laidlay FRSE. He became quite prominent at golf while a schoolboy from 1872–1878 at the Loretto School in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh. Following completion of his education at Loretto, he moved to North Berwick and played out of the famous North Berwick Golf Club.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:British Amateur Championship.

paragraph: Laidlay won the British Amateur Championship twice, in 1889 and 1891, and was runner-up three more times, in 1888, 1890, and 1893, during a six-year stretch from 1888 to 1893. He was also runner-up in the 1893 Open Championship. He won over 130 amateur medals during his playing career, represented Scotland every year from 1902 to 1911, and also played cricket for Scotland. After World War I, he moved to Sunningdale, near London, where his former caddie Jack White was the club professional at the Sunningdale Golf Club. He has been called the 'last of the gentlemen golfers'.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:Overlapping grip.

paragraph: Laidlay was using the grip which was credited to Harry Vardon for some years before either Vardon or J.H. Taylor adopted it. The grip is taken by overlapping the little finger of the bottom hand between the forefinger and middle fingers of the top hand, with thumbs pointing down and the remaining fingers of both hands wrapping around the club, with the club held lightly. The lead thumb should fit into the palm, along the lifeline of the trailing hand. Since 1900, most professionals, top amateurs, and average players around the world have adopted this grip, known as the Vardon or overlapping grip. Probably 90% of the world's golfers use it, although there are exceptions, including Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Gene Sarazen.

paragraph: Laidlay also played one match for the Scotland national cricket team in 1878.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Laidlay died on 15 July 1940 at Sunningdale, England. He is best remembered as a 2-time winner of the British Amateur Championship and the first golfer to employ the overlapping grip.

paragraph: Pierre Bontemps

paragraph: Pierre Bontemps (c. 1505–1568) was a French sculptor known for his funeral monuments; he was, with Germain Pilon, one of the pre-eminent sculptors of the French Renaissance.

paragraph: He executed most of the bas-reliefs on the tomb of King Francis I of France, representing the French victories at the battle of Marignano and the battle of Ceresole.

paragraph: His also are the statues of the king, Queen Claude, the Dauphin, and Louis XII and Anne of Brittany on Louis' tomb in the Basilica of Saint-Denis. The figures from the tomb of Charles de Maigny (c. 1556) now reside in the Musée du Louvre.

paragraph: In 1936, a sale of contents from the chateau of Monchy-Humières included a full-length marble tomb which had been used as a garden ornament. Originally thought to be of Louis, duc d'Humières (1628–1694), it was in fact Jean III d'Humières (died 1553), executed by Bontemps. This is also in the Louvre.

paragraph: Peter Welz (born December 1, 1972 in Lauingen, West Germany) is a contemporary German artist based in Berlin. He has been exhibiting his work in video, sculpture and installations since 2003.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Welz was born in Lauingen, Germany, in 1972. In the 1990s he studied at the "National College of Art and Design" (Dublin), the "Chelsea College of Arts" (London) and at the "Cooper Union" (New York City).His artistic works are on the one hand known for their kinetic experimental set-ups; on the other hand cinematic aspects play a central role. In addition to questions about the status of an image, the sculpture and the relationship between image and space are characteristics of his work in recent years. Welz' artistic work also reflects his confrontation with Samuel Beckett. He became known by a five-part video installation, which was developed in close collaboration with choreographer William Forsythe.Works by Peter Welz are located in the "Goetz Collection", the "Falckenberg Collection" and in the "Collection of the Museum für Moderne Kunst" in Frankfurt.

paragraph: Francesco Antonio Xaverio Grue

paragraph: Francesco Antonio Xaverio Grue (1686–1746) was an Italian potter and painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Grue was born in Castelli, Abruzzo, into a family of maiolica potters and painters. His grandfather was Francesco Grue and his father was Carlo Antonio, who was also a potter.

paragraph: In Naples, Grue produced many ceramic works, especially plates decorated with landscapes or putti in the center, and tendril or festoon borders. Wares were also often signed and dated. In 1736 he returned to his hometown and continued to work until his death in 1746.

paragraph: Initially sent to the Seminary of Penne, Abruzzo to become a priest, but uninterested in liturgy, he became interested in literature. He left to study medicine in Teramo, civil law in Naples, and canon law in Rome. Despite all this training, he gravitated to the arts, and studied in Penne with Giovanni Lavalle. After a stint in Urbino, he developed a focus on decorating ceramics. His depicted genre or Bamboccianti themes. Grue headed a tax revolt that broke out in Castelli, Abruzzo in 1716 against the Marchese Francesco Paolo Mendoza when he imposed a tax on the clay used to make majolica. He was jailed for a number of years in Naples, but emerged, and is responsible for painting some of the ceramics at pharmacy of the Ospedale degli Incurabili, Naples. The ceramics depicted the illnesses treated by the contents of the ceramic jars.

paragraph: Andrea Prader

paragraph: Andrea Prader (December 23, 1919 – June 3, 2001) was a Swiss scientist, physician, and pediatric endocrinologist. He co-discovered Prader–Willi syndrome and created two physiological sex development scales, the Prader scale and the orchidometer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Andrea Prader was born in Samedan, Grisons, Switzerland but lived in Zurich most of his life. He attended medical school at the University of Zurich. During his residency between 1944 and 1946, he worked under Gian Töndury in the Department of Anatomy in Zurich, and then in 1947 in the Department of Outpatient Medicine in Lausanne under Alfredo Vannotti. In 1947 he became assistant physician at the Children's Hospital in Zürich. In 1950 was the beginning of his career as pediatric endocrinologist. His advanced research brought him to the U.S. in the early 1950s; Prader specialized at the Bellevue Hospital, New York City under the guidance of L.E. Holt, Jr, son of Luther Emmett Holt. His lasting interests in endocrinology was attributed to his contacts with Lawson Wilkins.

paragraph: Prader received his doctorate in 1957. In 1962 he became professor at the Medical faculty at the Zurich University. In 1965 the long term department chief Guido Fanconi retired and Prader succeeded him as professor and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Zürich. He also took over the post of Director of the Children’s hospital (Kinderspital) and remained in these posts until 1986.

paragraph: Section::::Studies.

paragraph: Andrea Prader's fundamental studies were in pediatric endocrinology, however in his earlier works there are other topics in the field of pediatrics. Here are some of his works and collaborations listed in chronological order:

paragraph: BULLET::::- pediatric cardiology, with Ettore Rossi (1948)

paragraph: BULLET::::- endocrine and metabolic disorders

paragraph: BULLET::::- medical genetics (1951)

paragraph: BULLET::::- pathophysiology of steroid hormones – including intersex-conditions and defects of the steroid synthesis (1953). He also devised the eponymous Prader scale, used to describe genital virilization.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Prader-Gurtner syndrome, with HP Gurtner (1955)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (1956)

paragraph: Prader has been involved in the discovery or description of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia, with RE Siebenmann (1957)

paragraph: BULLET::::- hereditary fructose intolerance, with R. Froesh, A. Labhart et al. (1957)

paragraph: BULLET::::- pseudo-vitamin D deficiency with R. Illig et al. (1961)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Adrenoleukodystrophy, (ALD). In 1963, Andrea Prader participated in a research effort of a collective of scientists headed by Guido Fanconi that studied and described a condition related to chronic adrenal insufficiency combined with demyelinating disease of the brain and peripheral nervous system. They came up with diagnostic criteria, pathology and clinical picture of this heritable syndrome, described first by Siemerling and Creutzfeldt in a publication in 1923 of a clinical case they have encountered and the team named it originally after Thomas Addison and Paul Ferdinand Schilder ("Addison-Schilder's disease"). Today the eponymous title recognizes the physicians who first described it ("Siemerling and Creutzfeldt"). The public became familiar with one case of the disease in the movie "Lorenzo's oil." This is a primarily pediatric progressive metabolic disorder, demonstrating most commonly in boys between the ages of 5 and 15 and combining the characteristics of Addison’s disease and diffuse myelinoclastic sclerosis (Schilder's disease). Females are not affected by the condition, however due to linkage of heredity with the X chromosome, they are thought to be genetic carriers.

paragraph: Section::::International acclaim.

paragraph: Between 1972 and 1974 he was member of honor and president of the Swiss Pediatric Society ("Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Pädiatrie"); he also held honorary memberships in the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina (1968). He was Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, London, received the Medal of the University of Helsinki, the Medal of the University of Turku, the Otto Naegeli Award, the Berthold medal of the German Society of Endocrinology, and was "Doctor Honoris Causa" of the Tokushima University, Japan. In 1962 and 1971 he was president of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology.

paragraph: Section::::The Andrea Prader Prize.

paragraph: The Andrea Prader Prize is an annual Leadership Award, established in 1987 and given to a member of the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology in recognition of their achievements in the field of pediatric endocrinology. At the establishment of the prize funds were provided by the Pharmacia & Upjohn, Stockholm. Currently the award is funded by Pfizer, USA.

paragraph: Lawrence Lee

paragraph: Lawrence Stanley Lee (18 September 1909 – 25 April 2011) was a British stained glass artist whose work spanned the latter half of the 20th century. He was best known for leading the project to create ten huge windows for the nave of the new Coventry Cathedral. His other work includes windows at Guildford and Southwark Cathedrals as well as a great number of works elsewhere in the UK, and some in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Lee was born in Chelsea Hospital for Women on 18 September 1909. His family moved to Weybridge where his father, William, a chauffeur and engineer, had a garage near to the Booklands Race Track. Lawrence's mother, Rose, was deeply religious and it was this influence that gave him the appreciation of biblical symbolism that became an important feature of his work. His parents divorced and Lawrence moved with his mother to New Malden. At the local Methodist church he met Dorothy Tucker, later to become his wife.

paragraph: He left school at 14, but won a scholarship to Kingston School of Art. A further award in 1927 enabled him to attend the Royal College of Art, where he studied stained glass under Martin Travers, graduating in 1930.

paragraph: Section::::Pre-war career.

paragraph: Lee's first job was as an assistant to Travers in his studio. For a while he joined James and Lilian Dring in an artistic co-operative. His works included a range of craft and art work produced at Southside Studios in Clapham, London. He also worked part-time teaching at Kingston and Bromley schools of art.

paragraph: For a year prior to the outbreak of war, Lee joined the Anglican Franciscan Friary at Cerne Abbey, Dorset, but at the outbreak of war, abandoned monastic life to fight fascism.

paragraph: Section::::World War II.

paragraph: In the summer of 1940, Lee married Dorothy Tucker. Lee joined the Royal Army Medical Corps but transferred to the Royal Artillery, serving as an anti-aircraft gunner for a while. He was promoted from cadet to Second Lieutenant in June 1942. He subsequently served in North Africa and Italy, seeing action at the battle of the Kasserine Pass in Tunisia in February 1943 and in the Allied landings at Salerno later that year. He was transferred to the Army Educational Service in Italy in February 1945, maintaining his rank of Lieutenant, and ran courses in art and culture. He sketched and painted throughout the war, capturing an eruption of Mount Vesuvius whilst in Italy. The Imperial War Museum holds five watercolours of tanks and desert scenes, and, though some works were declined in 1942, a donation from James Dring was accepted and further works were subsequently purchased. Other work from this period is held in the Ashmolean Museum.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war.

paragraph: On leaving the army, Lee returned to Travers' commercial studio as a chief assistant alongside John E Crawford. Travers' services were in great demand restoring bomb-damaged church windows and furnishings. Work like this continued even into the 1960s such as Lee's window at Holy Trinity church in Attleborough, Warwickshire showing Christ in majesty with a wheel of life - a replacement for a Victorian window destroyed by bomb-damage.

paragraph: When Travers died in 1948 Lee and Crawford shared his open commissions, prompting Lee to establish his own studio; firstly in Sutton, later in New Malden, and finally, in 1963, at Penshurst, Kent. Lee also succeeded Travers as the RCA's Head of Stained Glass, where he served until 1968.

paragraph: Lee also paid homage to his military career making several contributions to the Royal Military Academy Chapel at Sandhurst. This includes about 26 windows by Lee installed over the years between 1954 and 1991. These include small heraldic windows commemorating the field marshals of the Second World War. Other work from the early 1950s includes four windows in the south wall of St Magnus-the-Martyr in the City of London. These depict St. Magnus of Orkney, St. Margaret of Antioch, St. Thomas of Canterbury and St. Michael - the latter dated 1954.

paragraph: The majority of post-war commissions were conservatively traditional and influenced by the post-Victorian Arts and Crafts movement. At the RCA though, Lee could be more experimental. Whilst respecting the historic traditions of the craft, Lee was also interested in the new possibilities afforded by improvements in adhesives. He was also interested in all forms of glass including slab glass and the dalle de verre technique.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war.:Coventry Cathedral.

paragraph: Sir Basil Spence was commissioned to design the replacement for Coventry Cathedral, destroyed during the war. Spence was determined that the stained glass should be an integral part of the design from the outset. About this time, Spence received an invitation from Lee to act as external examiner at the RCA. Spence was impressed by the experimental and abstract work he saw there. Spence abandoned his thoughts of inviting French artist Fernand Léger to bid for the Cathedral work and invited the College to tender instead. The college won the contract but the decision was controversial, seen by some as being unfair competition using cheap student labour.

paragraph: Spence's design brief requested some Christian symbolism and the use of green, red, multi-coloured, purple and gold, to represent “Man’s progress from birth to death and from death to resurrection and transfiguration”. The artists were allowed to exercise their own interpretations beyond that. The requirement was for ten high lights which posed a significant technical challenge for Lee. He enlisted two former students; Geoffrey Clarke and Keith New, to collaborate on the designs. They worked individually on three each and together on the tenth, using the mural studio of the Victoria and Albert Museum adjacent to the RCA. They treated the windows as pairs, Lawrence designing the red and gold, symbolic of early manhood. Jane Gray, Lee's assistant at this time, also worked on the project with him.

paragraph: The whole project took six years. After four years, in 1960, the first six windows completed were assembled for the first time and exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum where they drew a lot of attention. They were then stored until the consecration of the cathedral in 1962.

paragraph: Coventry established Lawrence's reputation, and with it came greater acceptance of a more modern, abstract style which Lee was able to develop through the 1960s.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war.:Other works.

paragraph: Whilst the Coventry project was in progress, Lee also worked on smaller commissions. Lee created three small windows for the Unitarian Church, Croydon in 1959. Lee's large three-light window in the retrochoir of Southwark Cathedral, completed in 1959, depicts a dove in the top light, the Virgin with the child Jesus carrying a set-square in the centre and, in the lower light, stonemasons, carpenters and a glazier on a ladder commemorating the donation of the widow by the family of Thomas Rider whose firm had rebuilt the cathedral's nave in 1895.

paragraph: The dove representing the Holy Spirit was a recurring theme in many of Lee's works. Lee's knowledge of bird anatomy assisted in this. Lee is alleged to have insisted to his RCA students that "doves representing the Holy Spirit should not resemble stuffed pigeons".

paragraph: The success of Coventry led to another large commission for 10 clerestory windows for the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in the early 1960s. Other commissions came from across the UK, as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. A few examples are of Lee's work through the following three decades are given below.

paragraph: In 1967 Lee created an east window for St James Church, Abinger, Surrey, comprising three lights depicting a cross as a living tree, riven by lightning & distorted. Ian Nairn, architect and critic, described it as "much the best modern glass in the county".

paragraph: Major refurbishment of headquarters of the Chemical Society (now the Royal Society of Chemistry), Burlington House, London, in 1967–68 allowed Lee to undertake one of his relatively few secular works. Other secular work included a staircase window in Carpenters' Hall showing shields supported by a schematic tree completed in 1970, an abstract work above the entrance of Montreal General Hospital in 1971 and a large heraldic appliqué in the Glaziers Hall in 1975.

paragraph: Other work completed about this time included in 1969 the east window of St Giles' Matlock, Derbyshire - the Incarnation expressed in symbols and, in King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells; Ruth ""amid the alien corn"".

paragraph: A three-light window (see image) depicting St.Thomas Becket in St.John the Baptist's church, Penshurst, Kent was presented by the people of Penshurst in August 1970 in commemoration of the institution of Wilhelmus as the first Parish priest on 27 December 1170 by Becket. Lee's 1970 east window in St John the Baptist, Belmont depicts Christ's baptism with Mary and the Baptist, the Holy Spirit descending in a whirlwind.

paragraph: A pair of small west windows in the Church of the Holy Cross at Binstead, Isle of Wight, date from the early 1970s—part of restoration work following fire damage to the nave. Lee's windows feature a phoenix, a peacock and the dove.

paragraph: About thirty windows and panels, many of badges, in Guildford Cathedral are Lee's work, installed at various times between 1974 and 1992.

paragraph: In 1971 Lee's semi-abstract Iveagh memorial was installed in the south aisle of Saint Andrew and St Patrick, Elvedon.

paragraph: Lee's 1975 window commemorating local JP, Arthur Darby, in St Andrew's, Sutton-in-Ely has an accompanying description written by Lee himself in which he not only describes the window, a theme of Man ascending and God descending, but also some of his philosophy on the role of stained glass in worship. Another 1975 work joined Lee's 1962 "Benedicte" east window at the University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel.

paragraph: The church of St Mary the Virgin, Swanley has four two-light windows by Lee completed between 1979 and 1982 showing St. Michael and St. Peter, the Annunciation, Visitation and Presentation. The church also has windows by Lee's assistants; Lydia Marouf and Philippa Martin.

paragraph: Section::::Teaching.

paragraph: Both in his role at RCA and in his commercial work, Lee was generous in passing on his knowledge to students and more than a dozen assistants that apprenticed to him over the years. Several became eminent practitioners in their own right including Jane Gray and Philippa Martin. He was unusual amongst artists in that he often included his assistant's initials in his signature glassmark. This support continued into later life, Lee contributed the foreword to Jane Gray's autobiography; "Playing with Rainbows", published when he was one hundred years old.

paragraph: Lee wrote several books on his craft. In 1967, shortly before leaving his post at RCA, he wrote "Stained Glass, a handbook for artists". In 1976 he co-authored "Stained Glass, An Illustrated Guide". His last book, written in 1977, "The Appreciation of Stained Glass" encapsulated his artistic philosophy.

paragraph: In 1974 he was master of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and helped introduce measures to encourage practising stained-glass artists into the company at an affordable rate and encourage women into the profession. He was a fellow of the British Society of Master Glass Painters.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Lee continued to work as a stained glass artist until the early 1990s. Lee's last big church window was completed in 1991 at St Martin's Brasted, Kent. His last window is in the library of Chew Valley School, Bristol, in memory of his grandson, killed in a car crash in 1994.

paragraph: His wife, Dorothy died in 1996. Lawrence Stanley Lee died 25 April 2011. He was survived by their sons, Stephen and Martin.

paragraph: Celia Logan

paragraph: Celia Logan (December 17, 1837 – June 18, 1904) was an American actress, playwright, and writer, and a member of the Logan family of actors and writers. She became a correspondent of American journals and wrote for magazines. During the American Civil War, she resided in Milan, Italy, translating the war news for newspapers. Afterwards she settled in Washington D.C., where she became associate editor of "The Capital". She wrote several dramas, including "An American Marriage".

paragraph: Section::::Early years and education.

paragraph: Celia Logan was born December 17, 1839, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Raised mostly in Cincinnati where her father Cornelius Ambrosius Logan ran the National Theatre, Connelly came from a theatrical family. Her father and older sister, Eliza, were already well-known actors when Celia first appeared on the stage in March 1852, at the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.

paragraph: In girlhood, Celia was a writer of verse. She graduated from a private academy.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Her marriage to actor Conrad B. Clarke in December 1852 was ended by his death of consumption in November 1859. After a few years of acting, she travelled to Europe where she obtained a position reading manuscripts for a London publisher. While in London, she was acquainted with author Charles Reade, who encouraged her to write. On February 17, 1858, she married painter and art collector Miner Kilbourne Kellogg, more than 20 years her senior, in Paris. They had one child, Virginia Somers Kellogg, born April 25, 1860 in London. She became a London correspondent for several American newspapers. The Kelloggs returned to America after the Civil War and settled in Washington D.C., where they were divorced in December 1865. Miner Kellogg retained custody of their child.

paragraph: Logan soon returned to London, where she returned to the stage in 1868. After acting for a few seasons, she returned to newspaper work and writing for American magazines. On December 21, 1872, she married James H. Connelly (1840-1903), a journalist, writer, and Theosophist. Moving to San Francisco, James became the editor of the "Morning Chronicle" while Celia became a correspondent for the "New York Graphic" and continued to write. While in San Francisco, Celia wrote her first plays ("Rose" and "The Old Trick"), which were produced with success in San Francisco and elsewhere. Returning to New York, she became an assistant editor at "Belford's Magazine", a project of Abram S. Piatt and his brother Donn, who had earlier employed her at the "Capital" newspaper in Washington, DC. She also continued to write, as a journalist, as an author, and as a playwright. Her most successful plays were "Gaston Cadol" (an adaption from the French) and "An American Marriage" (1884) (later titled "That Man"). She had much success as a translator and adapter of French novels and plays. In addition to her original writing, she did much work as a translator from the French and Italian. Her first efforts in that field were made in converting American war news from English into Latin. Like her sister, Olive, she wrote of her experiences in the theatre, writing a series of articles entitled "These Our Actors" and also lecturing on the subject.

paragraph: Logan was involved with the Ladies Lecture Bureau, an organization which organized lectures and events to raise awareness of and relief funds for the Irish famine. Logan helped organize a benefit at New York City's Grand Opera House January 22, 1880 with Cynthia Leonard; afterwards, the Bureau collapsed amid accusations by Logan and others that Leonard kept some of the money. She died in New York City, New York, June 18, 1904, of arteriosclerosis and a cerebral hemorrhage.

He lives and works in St. Louis, Missouri, where he runs his own press, Evil Prints. He is a regular contributor to BLAB! of Fantagraphics Books. His work is influenced by Albrecht Dürer, José Guadalupe Posada, R. Crumb, and Honoré Daumier. Huck's illustrations have appeared in publications such as The Village Voice, The Riverfront Times, and the Minneapolis City Pages.

Carlos Museum, and New York Public Library.

Beginning in October 2017 Huck's gallery representation is C. G. Boerner in New York.

paragraph: In September 2011 Huck was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tom Huck was born on December 9, 1971 in Farmington, Missouri and grew up in nearby Potosi. He received a BFA in drawing from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1993 and an MFA in printmaking from Washington University in 1995. From 2000 to 2010 he was an instructor in printmaking at Washington University.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Huck is best known for creating large-scale woodcuts acting as both satirical narratives and social criticism. He says in his artist statement: "My work deals with personal observations about the experiences of living in a small town in southeast Missouri. The often Strange and Humorous occurrences, places, and people in these towns offer a never-ending source of inspiration for my prints. I call this work 'rural satire'".

paragraph: From 1995 to 2005, Huck created two woodcut folios: "2 Weeks in August: 14 Rural Absurdities" and "The Bloody Bucket". "2 Weeks in August: 14 Rural Absurdities", a thematically unified suite of 14 large woodcut prints, depicted 14 bizarre folk tales that allegedly occurred in Huck's hometown of Potosi, Missouri. The suite was produced in three years from 1995 to 1998. His second body of work, "The Bloody Bucket", was based on violent legends surrounding a bar of that name in or around his hometown of Potosi. It comprises 10 large-scale woodcuts, executed between 1999 and 2005.

paragraph: In December 1999, Huck's work represented the United States in an exhibition entitled "From Kandinsky To Corneille: Linoleum in the Art of the 20th Century" held at the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, Holland. Featured in the exhibition was a large scale linoleum cut by Huck entitled "Attack of the 50ft. Yard Ornament". The piece was commissioned specifically for the exhibition by the linoleum company Forbo-Krommenie in Amsterdam.

paragraph: The Whitney Museum of American Art in September 2003 featured two works by Huck in an exhibition entitled "To Be Human". Both the works featured were woodcuts from the series "2 Weeks in August".

paragraph: Huck is currently working on a 14-triptych cycle of woodcut prints entitled "Booger Stew". The first installment of the series, a triptych entitled "The Transformation of Brandy Baghead Pts. 1, 2, & 3", was completed in March 2009. An exhibition entitled "Tom Huck and the Rebellious Tradition of Printmaking" opened on August 28, 2009 at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Prints by Albrecht Dürer, William Hogarth, Jose Guadalupe Posada, and Max Beckmann were featured alongside Huck's "The Transformation of Brandy Baghead Pts. 1, 2, & 3".

paragraph: On December 19, 2011, Huck's website www.evilprints.com announced the April 1, 2012, release of "The Hillbilly Kama Sutra". This new suite of 15 linoleum cut prints is Huck's first portfolio of prints since 1998's "2 Weeks in August: 14 Rural Absurdities". On April 12, 2012, a selection of prints from the new series were released in the St. Louis weekly publication "The Riverfront Times". On May 4, 2012, Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, hosted the debut exhibition of "The Hillbilly Kama Sutra".

paragraph: In February 2013, Huck illustrated a cover story entitled "The 10 Weirdest Members of Congress" written by Caleb Hannan. The feature article appeared in "The Riverfront Times" and four other Voice Media Group publications: the "Houston Press", "Dallas Observer", "Broward-Palm Beach New Times", and "Minneapolis City Pages". All five had a cover caricature of Michele Bachmann's head on a snake, referencing the "Don't Tread On Me" motif. The story featured 9 politicians in caricature.

paragraph: In early spring of 2014 Huck completed work on his second major woodcut triptych from "Booger Stew" entitled "The Tommy Peeperz". "The Tommy Peeperz" debuted in a show of The Outlaw Printmakers entitled "The Dirty Dozen" at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center on April 3, 2014.

paragraph: An exhibition entitled "Tom Huck: Hopeless Americana" opened on October 17, 2015 at Gallery 210 at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Accompanying this 20 year retrospective was a catalogue that included essays by Richard Field, emeritus curator at the Yale University Gallery of Art. The exhibition included most of Huck's major works in print from 1995 to 2015, as well as sketchbooks and a small selection of studio ephemera.

paragraph: In April 2017 the Library of Congress acquired “The Great War-Madillo”, a chiariscuro woodcut made by Huck as a tribute to "Dürer's Rhinoceros".

paragraph: On October 27, 2017 the exhibition "Booger Stew: The Monumental Triptychs of Tom Huck" opened at the old master print dealer/gallery C. G. Boerner in New York, New York. The show featured Huck's most recent work, a large scale chiaroscuro woodcut triptych entitled "Electric Baloneyland". Featured as well were his other large woodcuts "The Tommy Peeperz" as well as "The Transformation of Brandy Baghead". A selection of old master prints by Hogarth, Goya, and Durer were also shown in the exhibition.

paragraph: An exhibition entitled "Rival Cuts: Process & Technique in Prints By Tom Hück and Albrecht Dürer" opened on February 9, 2019 at the Michael. C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. The exhibition featured Hück's chiariscuro woodcut "Electric Baloneyland" and prints from "Two Weeks in August", alongside prints by Albrecht Dürer from the "Apocalypse" series.

paragraph: The July/August 2019 issue of "Penthouse" magazine featured an interview with Hück. Interviewed by Seth Ferranti, the article covers Hück discussing the inspiration for many of his works, including his many art historical influences.

paragraph: Section::::Public works.

paragraph: Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Missouri installed a large scale glass triptych by Huck in April 2012. Entitled “Vivere Est Volare”’ (To Live Is To Fly in Latin), the piece was the first public art project undertaken by Huck. The piece was produced in collaboration with stained glass manufacturer Franz Mayer & Co. in Munich, Germany. The 3 paneled piece is installed in Concourse C at Lambert Airport.

paragraph: In April 2015 Laumeier Sculpture Park in suburban St. Louis permanently installed 3 playground "spring toys" designed by Huck and fabricated based on his series of "Death Bug" prints. It is the first interactive public art project Huck had undertaken.

paragraph: Section::::Commercial work.

paragraph: Aside from creating woodcuts, Huck has also designed logos, posters, and apparel for musicians and organizations. Huck has created the artwork on posters, t-shirts, and ephemera for bands such as Motorhead, The Roots, and A Perfect Circle among others. In 2002 he designed the cover of The Roots' album "Phrenology", and in 2009 he designed the poster for the band Motörhead and their show at The Pageant in St. Louis. Other clients of Huck's have included Pabst Blue Ribbon and Art the Vote, for which he designed a billboard ad during the 2008 presidential election. In early 2015, Huck began collaborating with the music merchandise company Global Merchandising, working on apparel and exclusive merchandise projects for Motorhead. The first of these special projects was a limited edition t-shirt design entitled "Motorhead America", based on an earlier unused tour backdrop Huck designed with input from band frontman Lemmy.

paragraph: Spring 2017 saw the first release from a planned 3 part, limited edition poster series "Motorhead: By Land, Air, and Sea". This series was available exclusively through the band's official website imotorhead.com.

paragraph: Section::::Style and influences.

paragraph: Huck's work pushes the boundaries of technique and taste in his chosen medium, the woodcut. Huck draws his influences mainly from Northern Renaissance masters, such as Albrecht Dürer whom he cites as a "print hero". Other influences include José Guadalupe Posada, Honoré Daumier, and Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes.

paragraph: Huck's work is also known for his delicate and intricate method of carving and use of cross-hatching in the print medium. It has been described as having "a real delicacy of touch" and "an extraordinary landscape of marks".

paragraph: Huck is associated with a movement within contemporary American printmaking known as the "Outlaw Printmakers", a group that also includes Bill Fick, Richard Mock, Dennis Mcnett, Sue Coe, Sean Starwars, Carlos Hernandez, and Canonball Press.

paragraph: Tom Oberheim

paragraph: Thomas Elroy Oberheim (Born July 7, 1936, Manhattan, Kansas), known as Tom Oberheim, is an American audio engineer and electronics engineer best known for designing effects processors, analog synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines. He has been the founder of four audio electronics companies, most notably Oberheim Electronics. He was also a key figure in the development and adoption of the MIDI standard. He is also a trained Physicist.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Oberheim was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas, also the home of Kansas State University. Beginning in junior high school, he put his interest in electronics into practice by building hi-fi components and amplifiers for friends. A fan of jazz music, Oberheim decided to move to Los Angeles after seeing an ad on the back of "Downbeat Magazine" about free jazz performances at a club there. He arrived in Los Angeles in July 1956 at the age of 20 with $10 in his pocket. He worked as a draftsman trainee at NCR Corporation where he was inspired to become a computer engineer. Oberheim enrolled at UCLA, studying computer engineering and physics while also taking music courses. Over the next nine years he worked toward his physics degree, serving in the Army for a short period of time, harmonizing with the Gregg Smith Singers, and working jobs at computer companies (most notably Abacus, where he first began designing computers).

paragraph: Section::::Oberheim Electronics and Maestro.

paragraph: Oberheim was attending a class during his last semester at UCLA when he met and became friends with trumpet player Don Ellis, and keyboardist Joseph Byrd of the band The United States of America, who were attending the same class. Oberheim stayed in touch with both Ellis and Byrd after leaving UCLA, and ended up building an amplifier for Ellis to use for his public address system. Oberheim also built guitar amplifiers for The United States of America, and their lead singer Dorothy Moskowitz asked him to build a ring modulator for the band (Joseph Byrd had used one while a band member, and Moskowitz wanted one for the band's new keyboardist, Richard Grayson). While ring modulator circuit information was readily available, it was a 1961 article by Harald Bode in "Electronics Magazine" that gave Oberheim the information he needed to design and hand-build one for musical application. Oberheim also built a ring modulator for Don Ellis. After hearing about Oberheim's device, film composer Leonard Rosenman contacted him for a ring modulator to use in the production of the Beneath the Planet of the Apes film soundtrack. Oberheim, who had grown tired of designing computer equipment, found far greater personal satisfaction in designing equipment used by artists to create music and the positive feedback he received from musicians like Herbie Hancock and Jan Hammer.

paragraph: In 1969, the Chicago Musical Instruments Company (CMI) approached Oberheim about his ring modulator, wanting him to become one of their manufacturing contractors. Oberheim raised approximately $6,000 from friends to start Oberheim Electronics. (One of the original investors was Tony Russo, but Oberheim later returned Russo's investment at Russo's request.) Oberheim produced his ring modulator, which CMI marketed as the Maestro RM-1A. At the time, Oberheim was also spending time with the band Bryndle, and had developed a fascination with the sound of instruments being played through a Leslie rotary speaker. This inspired Oberheim to design and build a digital phase shifter effects unit to imitate that sound. Maestro marketed the phase shifter as the PS-1. The PS-1 was a huge success, selling nearly 25,000 units over the next three years. Oberheim went on to design other products for Maestro, including the Universal Synthesizer for guitars.

paragraph: Section::::Synthesizer designer.

paragraph: Oberheim's forays into the design of equipment to be used by musicians continued to evolve. His associations with Richard Grayson and later Paul Beaver nurtured an interest in synthesizers, and at the 1971 NAMM Show, Oberheim approached Alan R. Pearlman, founder of ARP Instruments, asked to become the company's Los Angeles dealer, and subsequently became ARP's first dealer on the west coast, selling ARP 2600 synthesizers to musicians in the Los Angeles area, including Leon Russell, Robert Lamm, and Frank Zappa. Having access to ARP's schematics, Oberheim noticed that the ARP 2500 had a feature that allowed two notes to be played simultaneously (a capability of neither the 2600 nor other commercially available synthesizers at the time), and Oberheim designed a modification to the ARP 2600 that enabled it to do the same thing. Using two of these modified ARP 2600s, Oberheim and Grayson performed concerts together.

paragraph: Oberheim further expanded on the performance capabilities of 2-note polyphony in 1973, using his computer engineering experience to design the DS-2, one of the first digital-electronics-based music sequencers. The sequencer would completely control (i.e., "play from memory") the synthesizer; however, leaving the musician with no way to play along live on the instrument's keyboard, this also identified a problem that inspired Oberheim to design a Synthesizer Expansion Module (aptly named the SEM) with the design assistance of Dave Rossum (later of E-MU Systems fame), that facilitated simultaneously recorded + live playing (akin to the multi-track audio recording practice of "overdubbing" also associated with "sound with sound" and "sound on sound" recording).

paragraph: Oberheim first showed the SEM, which was the first synthesizer bearing his company's name, at the Audio Engineering Society convention in Los Angeles in May 1974.

paragraph: The following year, when Norlin (CMI's successor) cancelled several large orders for Oberheim's Maestro products, Oberheim shifted his design and manufacturing efforts to replace that lost business. He expanded the SEM concept, and again enlisting the expertise of Dave Rossum and Scott Wedge of E-mu Systems, combining the SEM with a digital keyboard, created the Oberheim 2-Voice and 4-Voice synthesizers, the first commercially available polyphonic music synthesizers. By combining more single-voice synthesizer modules together, Oberheim expanded the concept to the Oberheim 8-Voice synthesizer, introduced in 1976. Realizing that programming the 4-Voice on stage was impractical, he designed the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer, an integrated circuit memory for storing the synthesizer's sound settings, another industry first. Integrating this technology into a synthesizer, Oberheim introduced the OB1, the first programmable monophonic synthesizer, in 1977.

paragraph: By 1980, Oberheim's products, by then including synthesizers, a polyphonic digital sequencer (the DSX), and a sampled-sound drum machine (the DMX) were designed to be combined to form a complete system, and could be interconnected by a proprietary Oberheim parallel bus interface that pre-dated MIDI.

paragraph: With the company now gathering pace, from the turn of the 1980s Oberheim now streamlined his polyphonic synthesizers into a series of major integrated keyboard instruments which proved highly popular, coming to define many records of the era, to a similar extent to Sequential's Prophet 5. The Oberheim company first produced the OB-X in 1979, the OBXA in 1980-81, and the OB8 in 1983, as well as the Matrix 12, Matrix 6 and Matrix 1000 from the mid-1980s.

paragraph: Section::::MIDI proponent.

paragraph: In June 1981, Roland's Ikutaro Kakehashi approached Oberheim with the idea of standardizing a communication protocol between electronic music instruments. Oberheim discussed the idea with Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits, and in November, Smith formally presented the idea to the Audio Engineering Society. Smith finalized the MIDI specification and together, Kakehashi, Oberheim, and Smith successfully coordinated the support of all major manufacturers to widely adopt the new MIDI standard.

paragraph: Section::::Marion Systems and SeaSound.

paragraph: By May 1985, Oberheim Electronics was struggling and became ECC/Oberheim, owned by Oberheim's ex-lawyer. Later that same year, the Oberheim name was sold to Gibson Guitar Company. Tom Oberheim departed the company two years later and filed a lawsuit against his ex-lawyer for legal malpractice.

paragraph: In 1987, Oberheim formed Marion Systems (named after his daughter Emily Marion) in Santa Monica and later Lafayette in California. During this time, Oberheim performed consulting work for Roland and Akai, and produced a 12-bit to 16-bit option for Akai's S900 sampler. Oberheim also developed the Marion Systems MSR-2, a modular synthesizer concept.

paragraph: In the year 2000 after Marion Systems, Oberheim founded SeaSound, a manufacturer of audio interfaces.

paragraph: Section::::Return of Oberheim.

paragraph: In 2009, Oberheim began hand-building and selling an updated SEM synthesizer with upgraded features, but with a true analog design as faithful to the sound of his original SEM as possible. In 2010, he announced plans to release the "Son of Four Voice," an updated version of his original Oberheim 4-Voice analog synthesizer.

paragraph: In 2015, Oberheim announced the Two-Voice "Pro", an upgraded and improved version of the instrument he described as his favourite of the company's early years.

paragraph: At the NAMM show of January 2016, Oberheim announced the Dave Smith Instruments OB6, a collaboration with Dave Smith which resulted in Oberheim's first voltage-controlled multi-voiced polyphonic synth since the mid-1980s; Oberheim designed the VCO/VCF part replicating his SEM module, while control features, arpeggiator/step sequencer and effects processing were designed by Smith using his Prophet platform.

paragraph: Section::::Breakfast Club.

paragraph: Oberheim was a core member of "The Dead Presidents Society", an informal discussion group which met weekly in a Berkeley coffeehouse. The group took its name from the fact that most members were formerly presidents of companies that had gone out of business. Other notable innovators in technology and music who made up the group were Don Buchla, John Chowning, John Lazzaro, Ingrid Linn, Roger Linn, Max Mathews, Keith McMillen, Dave Smith and David Wessel. The group shed the "Dead Presidents" name when it opened up to other members including professors from Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. Its new name is the Breakfast Club.
