In August, the Emperor ordered that the residence of the Guise family in Joinville be spared by the Imperial army on <mask>'s request, as she had asked him for this favor out of consideration of Anne of Lorraine. The same month, Charles V asked <mask> to prevent Francis from visiting the French court, as he would take this as a sign of peace negotiations, but she replied that he had already left.

Francis died on 12 June 1545, leaving <mask> as Regent of Lorraine and the guardian of her minor son. His will was contested by a party headed by Count Jean I de Salm (d. 1560), who regarded <mask> as a puppet of the emperor, and so wished to place her brother-in-law as her co-regent. <mask>, being pregnant at the time, postponed the funeral, withdrew to her dower estate, and sent word to Charles V. On 6 August, after mediation from the emperor, <mask> and her brother-in-law were declared co-regents during the minority, with both of their seals necessary to issue orders, but with <mask> as the main regent with sole custody of the minor monarch.

A marriage was discussed between <mask> and king Sigismund of Poland during the diet. She was also courted by Marquis Albert of Brandenburg, Lord of Culmbach and Burgrave of Nuremberg, whose infatuation with her attracted attention. She opposed the marriage of her brother-in-law Nicolas of Vaudemont and Margaret of Egmont, because she feared it would displease France. In March 1549, she made an official visit to Brussels to be present at the welcome of Prince Philip of Spain to the Netherlands. On this occasion, Philip gave her so much attention that it caused discontent, and she left for Lorraine to avoid any complications.In Lorraine, <mask> was careful to maintain good relations to the Guise family, who were closely affiliated with the French court, and she had Stenay, Nancy and several other strongholds fortified against an expected French attack. In September 1550, she had Charles the Bold reburied in Lorraine. The same year, she attended the Diet of Augsburg for the second time, and was much celebrated as a hostess for the attending princes. In May 1551, she hosted her sister and brother-in-law in Lorraine. In September 1551, France prepared for war against the Empire. Being counted as an Imperial ally, Lorraine was in immediate danger. <mask> tried to ally herself with the Guise family, sent warnings to the Emperor, and asked both him and Mary of Hungary for

On 5 February 1552, Henry II of France marched toward the German border, reaching Joinville on the 22nd. <mask> failed to secure help from the Netherlands and the Emperor, and on 1 April, she traveled to the duchess Antoinette of Guise in Joinville, in the company of princess dowager Anne of Lorraine, to ask the French monarch to respect the neutrality of Lorraine. Her appeal was successful, and the king assured her that Lorraine was in no danger of being attacked. On 13 April 1552, France invaded the Duchy of Lorraine, and the French king entered the capital of Nancy. The day after, <mask> was informed that she was deprived of the custody of her son, whom the king was to take with him when he left and who was thereafter to be brought up at the French court, and that she and all other Imperial officials in Lorraine were deprived of any offices in the rule of Lorraine. All Imperial officials were to leave the duchy: <mask> herself was not asked to leave, but she was deprived of any share in the regency, and Lorraine was to be ruled solely by her former co-regent, the duke of Vaudemont, who would be asked to make an oath of loyalty to France.On a famous occasion, <mask> entered the hall Galerie des Cerfs, where the king and his court were gathered. Dressed in her widow's black and a white veil, begged him to take all he wished save her son. This scene was described as touching by

In May 1552, her brother-in-law Vaudemont informed her of his wish to open the gates for the Imperial army, and letters from her were intercepted, after which Henry II of France ordered her to leave Lorraine. Because of the warlike state of the area, she could not reach the Netherlands, but took refuge in Schlettstadt, until she could reunite with her uncle the emperor when he reached the area with his army in September. She was then able to depart for the court of her sister in Heidelberg, in the Palatinate, with her daughters and former sister-in-law Anne, and from there, finally, to the court of her aunt Mary in Brussels in the Netherlands, where she settled.Exile
<mask> received marriage proposals from King Henry of Navarre, Adolf of Holstein, the prince of Piedmont, and Albert of Brandenburg. The latter promised to recover the kingdom of her father for her. However, she refused to marry, and focused on negotiations with France to recover the custody of her son. She was present at the abdication of Emperor Charles V in Brussels in October 1555, followed by the ceremony when her aunt Mary of Hungary stepped down from the regency of the Netherlands. She took leave of them on their departure to Spain in October 1556. The emperor suggested that Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy should marry her, and in parallel be made governor of the Netherlands, but though he replaced Mary as governor that year, the match never took place.

The French monarch pointed out in 1556 that her son would be declared of legal majority, and her claim to regency moot in any case in another year. Furthermore, King Philip did not wish to give her permission to leave Brussels, because he enjoyed her company, and her popularity in the Netherlands was of use to him. She visited England for the first time in April 1555, though not much information are recorded of this first visit. In February–May 1557, she and Margaret of Parma visited the court of Mary I of England. They were welcomed by Queen Mary with a grand banquet at Whitehall. The rumoured reason for their visit was that they planned to take the Princess Elizabeth with them to give her in marriage to the Duke of Savoy.This marriage plan was blocked by the Queen. <mask> made a good impression in London during her visit, and reportedly made friends with the Lords Arundel and Pembroke, visited several Catholic shrines, and was shown the Tower of London. There was, however, some displeasure from the side of Queen Mary, because of the affection and attention she was given by Philip. She was also denied a visit to see Princess Elizabeth, who was kept in seclusion at Hatfield at the time. In May, she returned to the Netherlands. <mask> was finally, through the negotiation of her former brother-in-law Nicolas de Vaudemont, given permission to meet her son. The meeting took place in the border village Marcoing in May 1558.She was invited to his wedding in Paris in

In October–September 1558, <mask> presided as a mediator in the peace negotiations at Cercamp, upon request. The negotiations were discontinued because of the death of Mary of Hungary. When the peace conference was opened again, she again resumed her post as the president of the conference, which took place in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, in February–April 1559. The peace treaty was regarded as a triumph of <mask>'s diplomacy skills. When the Duke of Savoy resigned from his post as governor of the Netherlands in May 1559, <mask> was a popular choice to be his successor. She was popular in all classes in the Netherlands, where she had been raised and by whom she was regarded as Dutch.She had strong connections among the Dutch nobility, and her success during the peace conferences in Cercamp and Câteau-Cambrésis had given her a good reputation as a diplomat. She had already been suggested for the post as governor during the summer of 1558. However, her advantages did in fact not work in her favor in the eyes of King Philip of Spain, as he regarded her popularity with the Dutch and especially her friendship with Prince William of Orange with suspicion, and in June, Margaret of Parma was appointed instead. This caused a conflict between <mask> and Margaret, and in October, <mask> joined her son Charles and his wife in Lorraine. Claimant

In March 1560, she was again appointed regent of Lorraine during the absence of her son and daughter-in-law at the French court. She was present at the coronation of Charles IX in Reims in May 1561, and of Emperor Maximilian in Frankfurt in 1562.Her son Charles made his state entry to Nancy in May 1562 and officially took over the regency. However, he continued to rely on <mask> as his adviser in affairs of state. In 1564, she concluded an agreement with the Bishop of Toul, by which he granted his temporalities to the Duke of Lorraine with the consent of the Pope. As the political adviser of her son, who often preferred to delegate political tasks to her, she had a strong position in the Ducal court in Lorraine, in particular as her daughter-in-law Claude preferred to spend her time at the French court, which she often visited. However, she was worried over the influence of the French queen dowager Catherine de' Medici, whom she suspected of trying to influence Lorraine, and in trying to disturb her relationship to her son, in an attempt to deprive her of her influence in the affairs of state. At the death of her father, in prison in Denmark in 1559, her elder sister Dorothea assumed the claimant title of Queen of Denmark in exile as the heir of her father's claim. She would however need the help of her mother's Habsburg dynasty to press her claims,  but as a childless widow beyond the usual childbearing age, Dorothea was no longer considered politically useful, and the Habsburg dynasty showed no interest in helping her take

After this, <mask> styled herself the rightful Queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. In February 1563, she referred to herself as "<mask>, by the grace of God Queen of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, Sovereign of the Goths, Vandals, and Slavonians, Duchess of Schleswig, Dittmarsch, Lorraine, Bar, and Milan, Countess of Oldenburg and Blamont, and Lady of Tortona." In reality, she had no access to these thrones and had difficulty pressing her claim to them. In 1561, <mask> planned to marry her daughter Renata to King Frederick II of Denmark. However, on the outbreak of the Nordic Seven Years' War between Denmark and Sweden in 1563, she interrupted these plans.She was aided by Peder Oxe, the adventurer Wilhelm von Grumbach and his allies, who attempted to dethrone her second cousin king Frederick II of Denmark in her favour, and advised her to raise an army an invade Jutland, by which she would be welcomed by the Danish nobility, at that time in opposition to the Danish monarch. From 1565 to 1567, <mask> negotiated with king Eric XIV of Sweden to create an alliance between Sweden and Denmark through a marriage between Renata and Eric XIV. The plan was for <mask> to conquer Denmark with the support of Sweden, a plan Eric agreed to, if she could secure the support from the Emperor and the

However, Emperor Ferdinand was against the plan because the destructive effect it would have of the power balance in Germany, where Saxony, being strongly allied with Denmark, opposed <mask>'s claims. Nor did she manage to acquire the support of Philip of Spain. The planned marriage alliance between Lorraine and Sweden was finally terminated when Eric XIV married his non-noble lover Karin Månsdotter in 1567.In 1569, <mask> still entertained hopes to press her claims to the Danish throne, but was met with the reply from Cardinal Granvelle, that the Netherlands would never turn against Denmark; that the Emperor would oppose it, and that Spain was occupied elsewhere. With the end of the Nordic Seven Years' War in 1570, <mask> no longer worked actively in this matter. In June 1568, <mask> was among those who petitioned Philip of Spain for mercy on behalf of the Count of Egmont. The same year, her daughter Renata married Duke William of Bavaria. Reportedly, <mask> spent some time in Bavaria, before returning to Lorraine in 1572. In 1574, she participated in the Mornay Plot to depose John III of Sweden and provided the conspirator Charles de Mornay with funds through her intermediary Monsieur La Garde. In August 1578, she left for Tortona in Italy, a fief given to her by her first husband, where she lived to her death, styled as "Madame of Tortona".She had sovereign powers in Tortona for life, and actively participated in the rule of the city.

 has a good reputation in history:  she is said to have reformed abuses, put an end to a feud with Ravenna, obtained the restitution of lost privileges, and protected the rights of Tortona against the hated Spaniard rule. She was popular in Tortona, often receiving supplicants, and socializing with the local Milanese nobility. In June 1584, she was informed by the Spanish Viceroy that her rights as sovereign of Tortona was henceforth extinct, but she was allowed to remain in residence and live on the income of Tortona for life. She also continued to plead for Tortonese rights from the Spanish viceroy. Her son was Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, namesake of her uncle, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. The current Belgian and Spanish royal families and the ruling family of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg descends from him, as do the former reigning families of Austria, Bavaria, Brazil, France, Naples, Parma, Portugal, Sardinia (Italy), and Saxony. Her daughter, Renata of Lorraine, married William V, Duke of Bavaria, and it is through her that the current Danish, Norwegian and Swedish royal families, and the former Greek royal, and Russian imperial families are descended.Children

<mask> (August 10, 1872 – September 28, 1939) was an American traveling teacher of the Baháʼí Faith in the early 20th century. From the declaration of her belief in 1909 until her death thirty years later, she went around the world four times. Shoghi Effendi, then head of the Baháʼí Faith, called her "the foremost travel teacher in the first Baháʼí Century", and named her a Hand of the Cause posthumously. Known by her numerous visits with Heads of State and other public figures, of special importance was her efforts with Queen Marie of Romania, considered the first royal to accept Baháʼu'lláh. Early life
<mask> was born on August 10, 1872 to Timothy and <mask> in Richwood, Ohio, who raised her in the Baptist church. She had two older brothers, Clarence and Claude. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, where her father ran a dairy farm.<mask>, known as Mattie, was not a typical girl, since her interest lay in books rather than the usual domestic pursuits, and when she was 14 she earned enough money from writing to pay for a trip to Niagara Falls. She distinguished herself in high school and college, attending Oberlin College, where she designed her own program; she then continued to the University of Chicago and earned her degree in literature in 1895. Writing career
While she started teaching after her degree, she soon gave that up to start writing for different newspapers. In the summer of 1900 she worked at the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph as the society editor, and then in the fall she worked for the Pittsburgh Dispatch. She then started writing about automobiles, which took her to France and then back to Pittsburgh. Introduction to the Baháʼí Faith
In 1908 she overheard Roy C. Wilhelm in a Pittsburgh restaurant talking about his

This comment appealed to <mask> and she questioned Roy, who gave her some Baha'i literature.While researching the religion she met several members of the Baháʼí community, including Thornton Chase and Arthur Agnew in Chicago, and in 1909, declared her faith in Baháʼu'lláh's teachings. During this time, she continued writing newspaper articles and also in 1909 she wrote a detailed article for the Pittsburgh Post about the history and teachings of the Baháʼí Faith. She also participated in the first annual Baháʼí convention, which took place in Chicago in 1911. Visit of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá to the United States
During 1911 and 1912, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, the son of the founder of the Baháʼí Faith, visited the United States and Canada. <mask> attended many of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's talks, and arranged his talk in Pittsburgh. During this time <mask> developed breast cancer, but with advice from ʻAbdu'l-Baha it went into remission for many years. World travel and teaching
After meeting with ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, <mask> was profoundly affected by His explanations of His Father's Cause and teachings, and began her journeys where she would spread the teachings of the Baháʼí Faith.She did not let her small stature, lack of money or poor health stop her. She left the United States on January 30, 1915, and after visiting some countries in Europe, she desired to visit Palestine and the Baháʼí holy places, but she could not go due to First World War. Instead, she travelled to Egypt and stayed there six months. During that time she wrote newspaper articles. She then travelled to Bombay, Rangoon, Japan, and Hawaii.

By 1921, her breast cancer had spread and she was in frequent pain; her father's health was also failing, and thus her travels become more limited. Middle years
After her father's death on November 3, 1922, <mask> started her travels once again at the age of 50. She travelled to many parts of the United States, Canada, Japan and China to spread the teachings of Baháʼu'lláh, and the Baháʼí Faith. She then travelled to Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and Hong Kong, and helped Baháʼí pioneers to teach about the Baháʼí Faith. She then travelled to South Africa, and went on several radio broadcasts. She also studied Esperanto, and met Lidia Zamenhof, the daughter of Ludwig Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, who would later become a Baháʼí.Meeting with Queen Marie of Romania
In 1923 she arrived in Bucharest and sent the Queen a copy of the book Baháʼu'lláh and the New Era. Two days after the Queen received the book she granted <mask> an audience in the palace. The first of eight successive audiences with Queen Marie of Romania took place in January 1926 in Controceni Palace in Bucharest. The second, in 1927 in Pelisor Palace in Sinaia, was followed by a visit in January 1928 at the royal palace in Belgrade. A fourth visit took place in October 1929, at the Queen's summer palace "Tehna Yuva," at Balcic, on the Black Sea. In August 1932 and February 1933, <mask> was received at the home

 of Princess Ileana (then Arch-Duchess Anton of Austria) at Mödling, near Vienna. In February 1934 and February 1936, audiences were granted at Controceni Palace.Baháʼí sources state that Marie was the first member of a royal family to become a Baháʼí, The biographer Hannah Pakula noted Marie had an intense connection with the religion in her personal life but "…continued to attend the Protestant Church" though she "…prayed 'better at home with my Baháʼu'lláh books and teachings…'." In 1976, William McElwee Miller published a book about the Baháʼí Faith that included a letter written in 1970 by Marie's daughter Ileana who denied any such conversion had taken place. Visit to the Holy Land
In 1925 <mask> travelled to the Baháʼí holy land, and met Bahíyyih Khánum and Shoghi Effendi. She then travelled to the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, once again teaching the Baháʼí Faith. She then travelled to Iran, even though Shoghi Effendi recommended not doing so. She hoped to meet with the Sháh, Reza Khan Pahlavi, but did not do so. Later years
In 1930 she wanted to meet with Emperor Hirohito of Japan, but US officials blocked her access.Instead she sent the Emperor some Baháʼí books and some other gifts. She continued to teach, even while she was in ill-health travelling in 1937 to Hawaii, China and India. She returned to Hawaii in 1938 where she died on September 28, 1939. Publications

<mask> (born 29 April 1930) is a British-born American journalist and author notable as a proponent of legal assisted suicide and the right to die philosophy. In 1980, he co-founded the Hemlock Society and, in 2004, after that organization dissolved, he co-founded the Final Exit Network. From 1988 to 1990, he was president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies and is the current president of the Euthanasia Research & Guidance Organization (ERGO). He is the author several related books, including Jean's Way (1978), The Right to Die: Understanding Euthanasia (1986), and Final Exit: The Practicalities of Self-Deliverance and Assisted Suicide for the Dying (1991). Since 1978, <mask> has lived in the United States. Early years
Born to a British father and an Irish mother, he was raised in Somerset. His education was slender because of a broken home followed by World War II, when many English schools were in chaos, finally leaving at the age of 15, when he became a messenger boy for the Yorkshire Post.In a 30-year journalistic career <mask> worked and wrote for the Bristol Evening World, the Manchester Evening News, the Daily Mail, the Sunday Times and, lastly, the Los Angeles Times. Personal life
His first wife, <mask>, ended her life on 29 March 1975, in the Cotswolds with her husband at her side, with an intentional overdose of medication; she was suffering from terminal breast cancer. He told that story from his perspective in the best-selling Jean's Way. <mask> and Jean Humphry had three sons, the youngest one an adoptee. Humphry wrote the 1991 suicide handbook, Final Exit. From 1993 onwards <mask> has been president of the Euthanasia Research & Guidance

 Organization (ERGO), and chairs the advisory board of the new Final Exit Network (formed 2004 to replace the Hemlock Society dissolved the previous year in mergers). His marriage to his next wife, Ann Wickett, an American and a co-founder of the Hemlock Society, ended in 1989 when she filed for divorce; they had no children.Ann Wickett committed suicide, at the age of 49 on 2 October 1991, during a recurrence of depression. She had been battling breast cancer, but the cancer was in remission and she was not considered "terminally ill". In her suicide note, she claimed that <mask> was a "killer" and that his first wife, Jean, had died of suffocation. He denied these allegations as groundless. In early 1990 <mask> married Gretchen Crocker, youngest daughter of an Oregon farming family. Affiliations
Humphry is an advisor to the World Federation of Right to Die Societies by virtue of his past presidency and in appreciation of his 26 years of involvement with that organization. Since it was founded in 2004, Humphry has been an adviser to the Final Exit Network.After four members of the organization were accused in Georgia of assisting a suicide he launched the Final Exit Liberty Fund which paid most of their legal costs.

It has sold more than one million copies in twelve languages since 1991.In April 2007 the editors and book critics of USA Today selected Final Exit as one of the most memorable 25 books of the last quarter century. In 2017 he published his life story, Good Life, Good Death: The Memoir of a Right To Die Pioneer (Carrel Books, New York. ) The film Nomadland, which won three Oscars in 2021, makes an error regarding Final Exit. One of the characters explains that she had small-cell lung cancer, that it had metastasized to her brain, and that her doctors have given her seven or eight months to live. Then she says, "I have this book called Final Exit by Dr. Kevorkian. Some people call him Dr. Death. It's like various ways that you can end your life if you need to.It's kind of like a recipe." The author of Final Exit is Humphry, not Dr. Kevorkian. <mask>y bibliography

<mask> (January 30, 1914 – April 18, 2008) was an American modernist painter whose colorful biomorphic and architectural abstractions influenced the hard-edge movement of the 1950s and were uniquely poised at the intersection of Southern California’s thriving mid-century art, design, and architecture scenes. Her work frequently appeared in shows at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Los Angeles Art Association, and the Art Center College of Design alongside works by Lorser Feitelson, Helen Lundeberg, Josef Albers, June Wayne, and Knud Merrild, among others. Early life and education

<mask> was born in Dayton, Ohio, on January 30, 1914, but she spent the first year of her life in San Francisco; her father had temporarily relocated there for work. <mask> studied at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1932-1934. Hull House

After graduating in 1934, <mask> lived for a short time in Boston, but by 1938 she had returned to Chicago, lured by the city’s progressive politics and more cosmopolitan art scene. One of the few sites where these forces overlapped was Hull House, the legendary settlement house founded by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jane Addams in 1889 as a place where immigrants of diverse communities could gather to learn, eat, debate, and acquire the tools necessary to put down roots in their adopted country. <mask> accepted a job in the Hull House Art Department, where she taught immigrants how to paint and draw, and moved into a garret on the top floor of Addams’ old Victorian mansion.McCord produced her first mature works during her time at Hull House, which lasted until 1945. In the summer of 1938, she created several covers for the Hull House Block News, and also designed a poster, “Halsted Street,” for the organization. Soon after, she was accepted as an “easel artist” for the Federal Art Project

 (FAP), which was the visual arts division of Franklin Roosevelt’s ambitious, Depression-Era Works Progress Administration (WPA). Career

The WPA stipend enabled <mask> to move out of the Hull House and into her own apartment on the north side of Chicago. In 1939, her “City Scene” was one of 60 WPA paintings selected for inclusion in the permanent collection of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. During this period she also exhibited at the Illinois State Museum, and at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1940. At the same time, <mask> was making connections through Hull-House that would deepen her engagement with modernism. As a supervisor with the Donald Vestal Puppet Project, a WPA project in which participants made puppets, wrote plays, and performed at Chicago’s Natural History Museum, McCord came into contact with Donald Vestal, a modern-art gallerist and eventual Gertrude Stein collaborator, and Burr Tillstrom, the celebrated modern puppeteer who went on to create Kulka, Fran and Ollie.<mask> also met Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago, likely through Hull-House, where the renowned modernist architect had delivered his groundbreaking lecture “The Art and Craft of the Machine” in 1901 and with which he had a lasting relationship. (Wright’s mother and uncle were both Hull-House volunteers ). <mask>’s association with Wright sparked a lifelong fascination with architecture. When she was later asked to name her favorite artists, McCord said there were only three to whom she “responded with feeling”: “Cezanne, Claude Lorrain, and Frank Lloyd Wright.”

California

By 1945, McCord’s parents and three younger brothers had all moved to California, and when the war ended, she followed them west, settling in Venice Beach, where she quickly integrated herself into the local bohemian community. <mask>’s paintings were greeted with widespread acclaim,

 frequently appearing in shows at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Los Angeles Art Association, and the Art Center School of Design alongside works by Lorser Feitelson, Helen Lundeberg, Josef Albers, June Wayne, and Knud Merrild, among others. In 1951, <mask> married Lou Newman. Her work was featured in LACMA’s cutting-edge exhibition Painting in the USA; the same year she participated in Six Portable Murals, a group show organized by the Los Angeles Art Association that advertised itself as a collection of paintings “designed especially for mid-century architecture.”  “Painting,” a large McCord abstraction acquired by June Wayne and prominently displayed in Wayne’s Alvin Lustig-designed home, appeared on the cover of the Nov. 11, 1951 issue of The Los Angeles Times Home magazine in a color photograph by Julius Shulman.Leading architectural critic Esther McCoy wrote the accompanying article. Although <mask> continued to exhibit locally and paint at her Venice Beach studio—and although her works were acquired by significant collectors (Alice Parker Henderson, Maurice Weiss, Lorser Feitelson) and major museums, including the Long Beach Museum of Art—she was largely overlooked after the 1950s. But in 2011 the seeds of a <mask> revival were planted when her Big Pink (1951) was the only painting chosen to appear in "Living in a Modern Way," LACMA’s sweeping survey of mid-century California design. <mask> died at her home in Venice Beach on April 18, 2008. Critical reception

Writing in East of Borneo about <mask>'s contribution to the 1951 exhibition "Six Portable Murals" at the Los Angeles Art Association, critic Jonathan Griffin described <mask> as "an accomplished colourist" who was "an innovator long before the term 'Hard Edge' was coined in 1959, and before the expressionist Richard Diebenkorn became

 associated with the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica when he moved there in 1966." Griffin went on to suggest that the reason <mask> "has not enjoyed the exposure, until now, of her male peers" likely reflects "the prejudice that female artists faced in mid-century California, relegated to making décor rather than progressive artistic experiments." In an Artillery magazine review of <mask>'s 2013-2014 retrospective <mask> Paintings at See Line Gallery in Los Angeles, Peter Frank wrote that "the palette <mask> maintained throughout her career, brimming with dark tones but bright chromas, seems deliberately designed to convey a sense of light and atmosphere, most specifically that of Southern California’s Mediterranean climate," adding that "her exercises in sensuous or subdued palette all have a compositional soundness to them."Frank concluded that "<mask>’s particular take on such 'concrete expressionism' ... was sprightly and distinctive ... fusing the brio of gestural abstraction with the luminous qualities and almost heraldic designs of hard-edge painting." In 2014, Kyle Fitzpatrick of Los Angeles, I'm Yours characterized Soft Color, a McCord exhibition at LA's The Landing gallery, as "an incredible collection of work." References

<mask> was born on  to a Russian peasant family in Setukha village in the Tula Governorate of the Russian Empire. Two years after moving to Dnepropetrovsk in 1932 he graduated from his ninth grade of school, after which he worked as a metalworker. Having graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk aeroclub in 1936, he went on to attend training for flight instructors which he completed in 1937. He then worked at the aeroclub until 1938, moving on to attend parachuting school in Tushino, which he graduated from in 1939, after which he worked as a parachuting instructor at aeroclubs in Chuvashia, Bryansk, and Grozny. He briefly served as a flight instructor at the Sverdlovsk aeroclub of Moscow starting in April 1941, but left the post in June due to the German invasion of the Soviet Union.World War II
Having joined the military in June 1941, <mask> initially served as a pilot in a fighter aviation regiment until transferring Chuvashia to work as an instructor at a flight school in August. In January 1942 he briefly served as a flight instructor for the 28th Reserve Aviation Regiment, where he taught pilots to fly the UT-2 and R-5, but later that month he transferred to the 65th Assault Aviation Regiment, which was renamed to the 765th Assault Aviation Regiment before it was deployed in February. <mask> quickly rose up through the ranks in the regiment, having started out as an ordinary pilot but being promoted to the position of flight commander and later deputy squadron commander in barely a year. During a sortie in September 1942 he was wounded in the leg, but after recovering he returned to flying and remained with the regiment until April 1943 when he left to attend officer training in Samara, which he completed in

texts: July 1943. Upon returning to the warfront in August, <mask> became a squadron commander in the 943rd Assault Aviation Regiment. The unit saw heavy combat in the battle to save blockaded Leningrad, resulting in him once flying five sorties in one day during the first wave of the offensive. <mask> frequently flew alongside his friend Andrey Kizim, who saved his life, shielding him from anti-aircraft fire and shooting down an enemy fighter attacking their squadron on 3 March 1944; just two days earlier, <mask> had been nominated for the title Hero of the Soviet Union for having flown 106 sorties.As a result of the intense aerial battle that took place that day, <mask> and his gunner were forced to make an emergency landing and bail out of their stricken plane after being shot down by enemy aircraft, leaving <mask> seriously wounded; during the aerial battle Kizim shot down a fighter attacking their squadron, but <mask>'s plane was too damaged from the attack to continue on. The two were rescued by Soviet scouts in the forest who helped them return to their regiment. When he returned he was given a brand new Il-2, with "For Leningrad" painted on the side. During his first sortie on the plane he managed to shoot down an Fw 190, and he went on to fly dozens more sorties on it. Before receiving the title in August he continued to tally up sorties, and in July he began flying with Ivan Skripnikov as gunner. Later on 23 October 1944 he participated in a highly successful mission to attack a group of enemy tanks; despite being targeted with a barrage of anti-aircraft fire, he and his subordinates were able to strike his target, taking out four enemy tanks without suffering any losses. During the early phase of the East Prussian offensive <mask> flew 12 sorties in the span of five days, sometimes as many as four in a day, and on 17 February 1945 he was nominated for a second gold star for having flown 202 sorties.By then he had been promoted to the position of regimental navigator,

 and before the title was awarded in April he was made commander of the regiment. Despite his senior position, he continued to fly in combat, and by the end of the war he totaled 253 missions on the Il-2. Postwar
<mask> remained in command of his regiment until April 1946, but in May he left the military. Initially he flew Li-2 and Il-12 cargo transporters, but he went on to become a test pilot, graduating from training in 1949. From then until 1951 he worked as a test pilot at a Moscow aircraft factory, where he conducted test flights on Il-12 and Il-28. Tragically, an emergency bailout from an Il-28 on 26 August 1951 resulted in the death of his navigator and flight engineer and left him badly wounded. As a result of his injuries, he was only allowed to fly dual control aircraft, so he became a test pilot at the Scientific Testing Institute of Aircraft Equipment of Zhukovsky in 1952.However, he died in a crash on 13 March 1956; he was piloting an Il-28 to film the mid-air refueling of a MiG-19 by a Tu-16, when his Il-28 went into an uncontrollable roll at an altitude of 3000 meters before crashing, killing <mask> as well as the cameraman and radio operator. The cause of the roll remains unclear. He was buried in the Vagankovsky cemetery. Awards and honors
