  Equinox Antiques & Fine Art: Eleanor Parke Custis
(1897-1983)
  (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Eleanor Parke Custis (1897 — 1983) lived through America's Gilded Age, and painted scenes as varied as the artist’s travels: from her hometown of Washington, D.C., to the coastal towns of New England; from the prosperous fishing villages of Brittany to Venice and the mountain villages and lakes of northern Italy.
She was trained at the Corcoran School of Art beginning in 1915, and studied with Henry Snell during the summers of 1924 and 1925 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
An active member of the Washington arts community, she was an officer of the Washington Watercolor Club and exhibited with the American Watercolor Society, the Vose Galleries in Boston, and in many presentations of the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York.

Born in 1897 of the collaborative efforts of legendary director and producer Konstantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich- Danchenko, the Moscow Art Theatre revolutionized the Russian stage.
Begun as a vehicle to elevate the status of acting and theatre in Russia and to widen the influence of Stanislavski's naturalist and socially conscious teachings, The Moscow Art Theatre was Russia's first ensemble theatre and the first to deny allegiance to the fickle tastes of its patrons.
The Art Theatre and Stanislavski have nevertheless maintained an international reputation and have inspired the creation of other such legendary theatre groups as The Actors Studio and the Group Theatre.

 IVAN LE LORRAINE ALBRIGHT 1897
Born in 1897 outside Chicago, both Ivan Le Lorraine Albright and his twin brother Malvin Marr Albright became artists, not a surprising development given that their father was a painter who gave his children middle names of artists he revered.
He was deeply involved with the theory and craft of painting and opposed to the new currents of both abstraction and socially- engaged art that developed around him.
They represent colorful wands that Albright had fabricated in the 1940s when he was studying the effects of complementary colors against one another in preparation for a highly publicized portrait of the fictional Dorian Gray, commissioned for a Hollywood movie.

 Picture-perfect growth seen in frames category - picture frames Discount Store News - Find Articles
Independent custom framing houses, which have increased to about 25,000 units this year from about 1,500 units 15 years ago, have cropped up with a vengeance, but the process of framing a large-size print is extremely dear to the wallets of the mass population.
More discounters are reconfiguring the assortment and location of their frames and framed art categories to better showcase the product, and at least one national discounter will be tinkering with RTA wall decor this year.
Although vendor-supplied research from Impulse Designs, Van Nuys, Calif., attests that die-hard discount store art customers are brand loyal, purchase an average 3.4 art pieces per year and shop the aisle primarily for the living room and bedroom, other suppliers suggest that the sales-per-square-foot statistics of the category has yet to reach its potential.
