handprint : james mcneill whistler Whistler's mother took the children to live in London in 1847, then returned to the USA after her husband's death from cholera in 1849. In the early 1860's Whistler met D.G. Rossetti and Albert Moore (1841-1893); with Moore he developed the tenets of "Art for Art's sake," titling his works after musical compositions to affirm that they should be seen for their abstract qualities, free of the literary or moral ideals of the Pre-Raphaelites. Whistler spent his last years destroying many early paintings and drawings from his Paris studio and working on a full length self portrait, Brown and Gold, which was displayed at the Paris Universal Exposition in 1900 but continually revised up to Whistler's death in London in 1903, at age 69. www.handprint.com /HP/WCL/artist11.html   (1379 words)

University of Glasgow :: Centre for Whistler Studies :: Biographical Notes Whistler was established at the forefront of the etching revival. Whistler, wishing he had been a pupil of Ingres, began a series of paintings of classically draped women and flowers on a musical theme, known as the 'Six Projects' (Freer Gallery of Art) for the 'Liverpool Medici', the shipowner, F. Leyland. Whistler etched but never published several later sets, including a 'Jubilee Set' in 1887, a 'Renaissance set' in France in 1888, and Amsterdam in 1889, 'of far finer quality than all that has gone before – combining a minuteness of detail... www.whistler.arts.gla.ac.uk /html/jmw.htm   (2523 words)

Pachycephalidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The family Pachycephalidae includes the whistlers, shrike-thrushes, shrike-tits, pitohuis and Crested Bellbird, and is part of the Australo-Papuan corvid lineage. Its members range from small to medium in size, and occupy most of Australasia: Australia in particular, but also New Guinea, New Zealand, and in the case of the whistlers, the South Pacific islands and parts of Indonesia. Several species belonging to this family are outstanding songsters: the whistlers produce an astonishing volume for their size, and the lyrebirds aside, the Grey Shrike-thrush is often regarded as the finest, most inventive songbird of them all. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pachycephalidae   (138 words)

Eastern Australia top to bottom Heading back down the entrance road we stopped for a small group of Mountain Thornbills mixed with Yellow-throated Scrubwrens, then we had a male Golden Bowerbird attacking a white morph of the Grey Goshawk. On the way back to the lodge we had an Albert's Lyrebird calling near the path, and it quickly ran past the group to disappear and go silent. The heathland around the back of the lake was a little slower but we did have Brush Bronzewing, and Tasmanian Thornbills were rather easy there. www.tropicalbirding.com /tripReports/TR_Eastern_Aus_Nov05.html   (4812 words)

CD Baby: BRIAN WHISTLER & PABLO RODRIGUEZ: Forgotten Voices Whistler, a bay area jazz keyboard and vibist, gets to the essence of the tunes with his arrangements, which serve to illuminate the song's intention rather than call attention to themselves. And Gary Brown's (Airto) bass adds a supportive underpinning to the mix, as does the drumming of Walfredo Reyes Jr (Santana,Steve Winwood, Rickie Lee Jones), keyboard wiz Kit Walker (Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jai Uttal,) All together, there were over 20 great bay area musicians involved in the project. Whistler is backed by a retinue of jazz/world journeymen, including Kit Walker and Goeffrey Gordon from Jai Uttal's group and Alfredo Reyes from Santana's early group on drums. www.cdbaby.com /cd/pablonbrian   (1076 words)

Timeline 1855-1859 Brown's plans immediately went awry when the expected slave rebellion did not happen and the townspeople trapped Brown's men inside the engine house at the Federal arsenal. Brown, quickly convicted of criminal conspiracy and treason and sentenced to death, was hanged on December 2, 1859. Brown was convicted and executed at Charlestown for treason against the state of Virginia after his unsuccessful October 16-18 raid at Harpers Ferry. www.timelines.ws /1855_1859.HTML   (14124 words)

Joel Brandon | Haven't We All . . .?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Whistlers have long been associated with jazz dating back to “Big Noise from Winnetka” by the Bob Crosby band, the work of Toots Thielemans, and the puccolo of Ron McCroby. Joel Brandon, flautist, composer, vocalist, and master whistler has provided an incredible musical journey that also includes the talents of Willie Pickens, piano; Harrison Bankhead, bass; Kirk Brown, piano; Keith Henderson, Guitar; Morris Jennings, drums; Famoudou Don Moye, percussion, and on three of the eight cuts, Billy Higgins on drums. Brandon’s autobiographical “The Whistler’s Rhyme” is a fun, interesting, and somewhat campy self-description of Brandon’s talents for rhyme and whistling. www.allaboutjazz.com /php/article.php?id=8880   (708 words)

Tropical Birding Australia Tour The group of seven birders was an eclectic mix of three English and four American birders, with vastly different life experiences, which made for entertaining conversations on some of the longer drives. After the heathlands, we ventured down to Bundena for the Rufous Night Heron, back to Audley for the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, Sutherland for the two roosting Powerful Owl, and a quick stop at Botany Bay to pick up the Pied Oystercatchers. The next morning Don and Doris flew to Tasmania (which will be included in the 2005 tour), Duncan and Karen went back to the U.S., and I headed back to the U.K. with the Harpers, connecting with a flight to Tana to start my Madagascar tour. www.tropicalbirding.com /tripReports/TR_Aus2004.html   (3625 words)

WORLDTWITCH - Papua New Guinea Trip Report (January 1998) by Phil Gregory Varirata, Veimauri, Hisiu and Brown River all proved rewarding, with the White-rumped Robin and King Bird of Paradise at Veimauri particularly memorable. PG managed to run over a piglet too, one of the major no-no’s of travel in New Guinea, and the K50 compensation that he paid was a narrow escape. The major drought of last year was thankfully almost over, but flowering and fruiting plants were still in short supply and we were struggling to find honeyeaters, fruit-doves and lorikeets in particular. www.worldtwitch.com /phil_gregory_png_jan_1998.htm   (5130 words)

BIRDCHAT archives -- November 1999, week 3 (#162) We only saw a Collared Kingfisher but were hoping for a Mangrove Robin which we would see later near the Esplanade. Andy drove us to the Esplanade and showed us a roosting Rufous Night Heron (formerly Nankeen Night Heron and changing back to that name)and drove us through a cemetary where there were several Bush Stone Curlews calling their mournful call and sneaking around like undertakers in long tails. Not very hard core birder if you ask me. We also visted Yungaburra, Longlands Gap State Forest, Hasties Swamp, Bluff State Forest and the Athertonshire Pumping Station on the Barron River where we spent the end of a day watching a Duck-billed Platypus surface from time to time in a pond. listserv.arizona.edu /cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9911c&L=birdchat&F=&S=&P=16736   (469 words)

Birdquest, Trip Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Lying back on our boat and gazing up at the birds flying across the river was a welcome break from the forest interior, and our journeys started with hundreds of Collared Imperial-Pigeons, together with Pinons and Zoes, and a whole range of parrots including enormous Palm Cockatoos. Up smaller tributaries, we chanced upon a pair of Southern Crowned Pigeons hiding and just flashing their huge blue crests, but then later another flew up and we all had superb views of it perched and then flying. Further up, Brown Sicklebills intimidated us with their loud machine-gun calls and, in the highest forests, we were lucky to see a male Crested Bird of Paradise, and also Ribbon-tailed Astrapias — birds with proportionally the longest tail streamers in the world! www.birdquest.co.uk /trip_reports_detail.cfm?ReportID=305   (1753 words)
