Paul Sarkisian (born 1928, Chicago, Illinois) is an American artist who made significant contributions during the emergence of contemporary art in Los Angeles, and then later gained widespread recognition as a leading photorealist painter. In the early 1950’s Sarkisian began working with legendary independent curator Walter Hopps, exhibiting at The Syndell Studio in Los Angeles. Hopps later included Sarkisian, along with artists Richard Diebenkorn, Craig Kauffman and others, in the seminal Los Angeles art exhibition; Action1, otherwise known as The Merry-Go-Round-Show. The exhibition was organized in 1955 near the Santa Monica Pier as a radical proclamation of contemporary sensibilities, and is widely regarded today as being a defining moment in the history of contemporary art on the West Coast. Afterward, Sarkisian’s involvement with Walter Hopps continued with exhibitions at the Ferus Gallery. As a member of the Ferus, Sarkisian exhibited with gallery co-founder Ed Kienholz and artists Billy Al Bengston, George Herms, Wallace Berman, John Altoon and others, in shows like the Gallery Artists Group Show in1957. In 1962, Sarkisian joined forces with Richard Pettibone, George Herms and others to form the Aura Gallery in Pasadena, a cooperative space run by the artists themselves.

ISBN: 1682680487 | 2017 | EPUB | 256 Pages | 16 MB<BR><BR>In 1804, John Colter set out with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on the first U.S. expedition to traverse the North American continent. During the twenty-eight month ordeal, Colter served as a hunter and scout, and honed his survival skills on the western frontier. But when the journey was over, Colter stayed behind, spending two more years trekking alone through dangerous and unfamiliar territory. Along the way, he charted some of the West's most treasured landmarks.<BR><BR>Historian David W. Marshall crafts this captivating history from Colter's primary sources, and has retraced Colter's steps-seeing what he saw, hearing what he heard, and experiencing firsthand how he and his contemporaries survived in the wilderness (how they pitched a shelter, built a fire, followed a trail, and forded a stream)-adding a powerful layer of authority and detail.<BR><BR>The American Grit series brings you true tales of endurance, survival, and ingenuity from the annals of American history. These books focus on the trials of remarkable individuals with an emphasis on rich primary source material and artwork.<BR><BR><B>

Capturing The Moment and Restoring Old Memories "L J Williams Photography" Digital Photography and Photo Restoration by Larry and Faye Williams [email protected] Join us on facebook I am a local artist, born in Delaware and grew up in Old New Castle surrounded by the history and early American art. I have been passionate about the arts for as long as I can remember. I got my first 35mm camera while I was in the military. The excitement and thrill of making a good capture has never diminished. For the last ten years, or more, I have studied and grown with the digital age and my passion for photography has grown even stronger. I studied Art at the University of Delaware and have taken many classes in sketching and painting at the Delaware Art Museum. I have learned my photography skills through years of trial and error and from the association of many great photographers in the Delaware Photographic Society who were willing to share their wealth of knowledge and through attending seminars and photographic workshops. I think my love for the arts and training in engineering is a great mix for photography and I hope you enjoy my work.

Selous Foundation is a conservative Washington DC-based think tank founded in 1985 during the height of the Reagan revolution, whose mission is to formulate and promote public policies based on the American values and benefits derived from the Founding Fathers, including limited government, individual liberty, freedom, opportunity, economic prosperity and the primacy of national sovereignty. Throughout history the greater understanding of conflict over institutions and the distribution of scarce resources has provided a viable pathway toward the peaceful resolution of conflict. President Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of "peace through strength" guided America to victory in the Cold War. Where peaceful resolution of conflict is not possible, victory becomes the ultimate goal. In the area of foreign policy, we subscribe to the Cold War strategy of the Reagan Doctrine: "We win, they lose."
