English painter Malcolm Morley Died at 86
Please hit the bell along with the subscribes botton as you listen. Malcolm Morley was born on June 7, 1931 and died on June 2, 2018. He was an English artist living in the United States. He was best known as a photorealist. Morley was born in north London. He had a troubled childhood, after his home was blown up by a bomb during World War II, his family was homeless for a time, and did not discover art until serving a three-year stint in Wormwood Scrubs prison. After release, he studied art first at the Camberwell School of Arts and then at the Royal College of Art 1955 to 1957, where his fellow students included Peter Blake and Frank Auerbach. In 1956, he saw an exhibition of contemporary American art at the Tate Gallery, and began to produce paintings in an abstract expressionist style. In the mid-1960s, Morley briefly taught at Ohio State University, and then moved back to New York City, where he taught at SUNY Stony Brook from 1970 through 1974 and the School of Visual Arts. In the early 1980s he was married to the Brazilian artist Marcia Grostein, who, during that short and intense period, had a significant influence on his work, especially on his well-known beach scenes watercolors. At the time of his death resided in Bellport, New York, in a former church that served as his home and art studio, which he shared with his wife Lida Morley since 1986. His work was featured as the first temporary exhibit at the Parrish Art Museum in Watermill, New York, when it opened in November 2012. His work often draws upon various sources in a process of cross-fertilization. For example, his painting, The Day of the Locust 1977 draws its title from the novel, The Day of the Locust, by Nathanael West. One scene in the painting is drawn from the opening scene of the novel, and other scenes are drawn from the 1954 film Suddenly and the 1925 Sergei Eisenstein film Battleship Potemkin. Morley's most significant student is his ex-wife, Fran Bull. Latterly, he resided on Long Island and remained active though struggling with health problems. He died at 86 years old.

Malcolm Morley (born June 7, 1931) is an English artist now living in the United States. He is best known as a photorealist.
Morley was born in north London. He had a troubled childhood—after his home was blown up by a bomb during World War II, his family was homeless for a time—and did not discover art until serving a three-year stint in Wormwood Scrubs prison. After release, he studied art first at the Camberwell School of Arts and then at the Royal College of Art (1955–1957), where his fellow students included Peter Blake and Frank Auerbach. In 1956, he saw an exhibition of contemporary American art at the Tate Gallery, and began to produce paintings in an abstract expressionist style.
In the mid-1960s, Morley briefly taught at Ohio State University, and then moved back to New York City, where he taught at SUNY Stony Brook from 1970 through 1974 and the School of Visual Arts. In the early 1980s he was married to the Brazilian artist Marcia Grostein, who, during that short and intense period, had a significant influence on his work, especially on his well-known beach scenes watercolors. He now lives in Bellport, New York, in a former church that serves as his home/studio, which he has shared with his wife Lida Morley since 1986. His work was featured as the first temporary exhibit at the Parrish Art Museum in Watermill, New York, when it opened in November 2012.
In 1958, a year after leaving the Royal College, Morley moved to New York City, where he saw exhibitions of the work of Jackson Pollock and Balthus, both of whose treatment of their paintings' surfaces influenced him greatly. He considers Cézanne the quintessential sensationalist, and has acknowledged that artist's deep influence on his own work. When Morley moved to New York he also met Barnett Newman, and became influenced by him. He painted a number of works at this time made up of only horizontal black and white bands. He also met Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and, influenced in part by them, changed to a photorealist style (Morley prefers the phrase super realist). He often used a grid to transfer photographics images (often of ships) from a variety of sources (travel brochures, calendars, old paintings) to canvas as accurately as possible, and became one of the most noted photorealists.
In the 1970s, Morley's work began to be more expressionist, and he began to incorporate collage into his work. Many of his paintings from the mid-70s, such as Train Wreck (1975), depict "catastrophes". Later in the decade, he began to use his own earlier drawings and watercolours as the subject for his paintings. In 1984, Morley won the inaugural Turner Prize. In the 1990s he returned again to a more precise photorealist style, often reproducing images from model aeroplane kits on large canvases.
His work often draws upon various sources in a process of cross-fertilization. For example, his painting The Day of the Locust (1977) draws its title from the novel The Day of the Locust, by Nathanael West. One scene in the painting is drawn from the opening scene of the novel, and other scenes are drawn from the 1954 film Suddenly and the 1925 Sergei Eisenstein film Battleship Potemkin.
馬爾科姆莫利（生於1931年6月7日）是一位現居美國的英國藝術家。他是最著名的寫實主義者。
莫利出生在倫敦北部。他在童年時期受到了困擾 - 在第二次世界大戰期間他的家被炸彈炸毀後，他的家人一度無家可歸，而且在Wormwood Scrubs監獄服務三年後才發現了藝術品。發行後，他首先在坎貝爾韋爾藝術學院學習藝術，然後在皇家藝術學院（1955-1957）學習藝術，在那裡他的同學包括彼得布萊克和弗蘭克奧爾巴赫。 1956年，他在泰特美術館看到了當代美國藝術展，並開始以抽象的表現主義風格製作繪畫。
在20世紀60年代中期，莫利在俄亥俄州立大學任教，然後搬回紐約市，在1970年到1974年在紐約州立大學石溪分校任教，並在視覺藝術學院任教。 20世紀80年代初，他與巴西藝術家瑪西亞格羅斯坦結婚，在那段短暫而激烈的時期裡，他對他的作品產生了重大影響，特別是在他著名的海灘場景水彩畫中。他現在住在紐約貝爾波特的一個前教堂裡，作為他的家庭/工作室，自1986年以來他與妻子利達莫利分享了他的作品。他的作品曾作為水磨坊帕里什藝術博物館的第一個臨時展覽，紐約，2012年11月開業。
1958年，離開皇家學院一年後，莫利搬到紐約市，在那裡他看到傑克遜波洛克和鮑爾蒂斯的作品展，他們的作品表面的處理對他的作品影響很大。他認為塞尚是典型的煽情主義者，並且承認藝術家對他自己的作品有深刻的影響。當莫利搬到紐約時，他也遇到了巴尼特紐曼，並受到他的影響。此時他畫了許多作品，僅由黑白相間的樂隊組成。他還遇到了安迪·沃霍爾和羅伊·利希滕斯坦，受到他們的部分影響，他變成了寫實主義風格（莫雷更喜歡超現實主義這個詞）。他經常使用網格將各種來源（旅行小冊子，日曆，舊畫）的照片圖像（通常為船舶）盡可能準確地轉移到畫布上，並成為最著名的照片寫實主義者之一。
在20世紀70年代，莫利的作品開始更加表現主義，並開始將拼貼融入他的作品中。他70年代中期的許多作品如Train Wreck（1975）描述了“災難”。在此後的十年中，他開始用他自己的早期繪畫和水彩作為繪畫的主題。 1984年，莫利獲得了首屆特納獎。在20世紀90年代，他又回到了一個更精確的寫實主義風格，經常從大型油畫的模型飛機包中復製圖像。
他的工作往往在交叉施肥的過程中吸取各種資源。例如，他的繪畫“蝗蟲日”（1977）從小說“蝗蟲的日子”（Nathanael West）中汲取了它的頭銜。畫中的一個場景是從小說的開場場景中抽取的，其他場景是從1954年的電影“突然”和1925年謝爾蓋·愛森斯坦的電影“戰艦波將金號”中抽取出來的。
An Evening of Conversation with Jon Peede NEH Chairman
On April 26, 2018, the U.S. Senate confirmed Jon Parrish Peede as the 11th Chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Mr. Peede has devoted many years to enhancing the well-being of the humanities and the arts. He has served as the Publisher of the Virginia Quarterly Review (VQR) at the University of Virginia, Literature Grants Director at the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Counselor to NEA Chairman Dana Gioia, and Director of the NEA Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience program. In his tour of duty as Chair, Mr. Peede has been an indefatigable advocate for the NEH, taking every opportunity to make the case for the value of the humanities to the United States, and maintaining a healthy level of support for the NEH.
Chairman Peede joined the Center of the American West’s Faculty Director Patty Limerick, who was confirmed by the Senate as a member of the National Council for the Humanities in November of 2015, for a wide-ranging discussion of tradition and change in the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities, as well as Chairman Peede’s commitment to making certain that activities supported by the NEH take place across the nation, steering clear of the risk that those activities might occur disproportionately on the “coasts.” And, as region-centered scholars, they will compare the role of the humanities in reckoning with the historical legacies of the American South and the American West, while engaging in a congenial dispute over whether writers of history perform a greater service to history than writers of poetry and fiction.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

AAS Eclipse Workshop 2017
On 21 August 2017, a total eclipse of the Sun will cross the United States from coast to coast, giving tens of millions of people in a 70-mile-wide path from Oregon to South Carolina a chance to see the solar corona and experience all phases of the eclipse. The Moon's shadow will sweep across the country starting mid morning in Oregon with just under two minutes of totality and reaching maximum duration of approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds in Southern Illinois before exiting over South Carolina mid afternoon.
Outside the path of totality, all of North America will experience a partial eclipse. This event, the first total solar eclipse to touch the US mainland since 1979 and the first to span the continent since 1918, presents a unique opportunity to excite people about science and connect them personally to the cosmos, as well as to conduct several important scientific observations. We are a working group dedicated to the science and public outreach of this unique event.
The Eclipse 2017 Workshop IV took place in Carbondale, Illinois, on Friday and Saturday, 10 and 11 June 2016, at the SIU Carbondale Student Center, hosted by Bob Baer and Shadia Habbal.
