  John Collier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Collier OBE RP ROI, was one of the most prominent portrait painters of his generation.
Collier was also closely connected with the family of the arch-scientist of late Victorian England, the Rt Hon Professor Thomas Henry Huxley, President of the Royal Society.
Thirteen of John Collier's paintings are now in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London, two in the Tate Gallery and one, a self portrait of 1907, in the Uffizzi Gallery in Florence which presumably commissioned it as part of its celebrated collection of artists’ self portraits.

 John Payne Collier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Payne Collier (January 11, 1789 - September 17, 1883), English Shakespearian critic, was born in London.
His father, John Dyer Collier (1762-1825), was a successful journalist, and his connection with the press obtained for his son a position on the Morning Chronicle as leader writer, dramatic critic and reporter, which continued till 1847; he was also for some time a reporter for The Times.
The point whether he was deceiver or deceived was left undecided, but the falsifications of which he was unquestionably guilty among the manuscripts at Dulwich College have left little doubt respecting it.

 John Collier (1850-1934) -- A Late Pre-Raphaelite Painter and Illustrator
Collier, born in 1850, was a pupil of Alma-Tadema and became known as a portrait-painter; like [Arthur] Hopkins [who had illustrated The Return of the Native for the Belgravia serialisation of 1878], he enjoyed the benefit of sketches as well as verbal advice offered by the novelist.
John Collier's involvement with the serialisation began with the editor's asking the novelist if he knew "of any artist likely to succeed" (cited in Jackson 46) in helping the magazine's readers visualize the Wessex setting and early nineteenth-century costumes.
From the age of twenty until his death at the age of eighty-four, Collier was a prolific producer of fashionable portraits (in which he followed the style of John Everett Millais) and genre paintings for the Royal Academy.

 Victorian Art in Britain
John Collier was the second son of Sir Robert Porrett Collier, later the first Lord Monkswell, a distinguished judge, and keen amateur artist.
Collier’s annoyance is understandable, but the truth is that the discussion was itself a criticism of his artistic methods.
Apart from the humour of the situation - the champion of orthodoxy in art was called to account as a disturber of public taste - the possible effects of a vivid representation of homicidal violence, but the root of the objection was the representation of Clytemnestra with her bloody dagger in that form of art.

John's testimony indicated a disappointment with the quality of the timber, when John walked the area, his opinion was the average yield per tree would be somewhat better than it was.
While John and Ray may have considered the Cowper job as Ray's job, John did retain control over performance in that he was responsible for cutting the trees into logs and transporting the logs to the mill, an important phase of the operation.

Collier found an atmosphere conducive to collaborative research when he arrived at Dartmouth as an undergraduate and entered the biomedical engineering field—a path he subsequently followed as a graduate student and faculty member.
Collier developed a porous coating of powdered alloy, sintered directly to the prosthesis, which created a penetrable surface and allowed ingrowth and bonding of bone tissue without fear of the coating itself separating from the prosthesis, eliminating the need for cement.
With colleagues John Currier, Barbara Currier, Kimberly Lyford, and students, the group is studying new bearing materials, examining the tradeoffs associated with highly crosslinked polyethylene, and developing simulators to better understand the motion of the bearing in the tray of tibial knee components.

Collier also fostered interagency and intra-agency cooperation among the Agriculture Department, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Interior Department.
Collier cited the fact that "the removal of the bureau to Chicago had created insurmountable difficulties and problems, while an excellent legislative program had undergone progressive nullification through appropriation cuts" as reasons for his resignation.

John Collier’s appointment as Commissioner of Indian Affairs by Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 marked a radical reversal—in intention if not always in effect—in U.S. government policies toward American Indians that dated back to the 1887 Dawes Act.
An idealistic social worker, Collier first encountered Indian culture when he visited Taos, New Mexico, in 1920, and found among the Pueblos there what he called a “Red Atlantis”—a model of living that integrated the needs of the individual with the group and that maintained traditional values.
As Commissioner, Collier proposed a sweeping set of reforms to reverse the previous half century of federal policy.

He truly ‘reinvented government,’ seizing the critical moment to reverse the Indian policy of the U.S. from one requiring the dissolution of Indian tribal governments and the assimilation of Indian individuals into the larger American society, to one acknowledging the sovereignty of tribal governments and the importance of preserving Indian cultures.
Collier was already well known as an opponent of the assimilation policy that had governed federal-Indian relations for more than two generations.
The Collier files are a major resource for scholars of Native American history, the New Deal, and the issues besetting the reform tradition in 20th-century America.

John Collier's wild and sardonic tales, which were for many years a fixture in the pages of The New Yorker, are, in the opinion of his many devoted admirers, as good as - indeed better than - the best of Saki and Roald Dahl.
It includes much praise of Collier by Fred Hoyle (then at the height of his fame as an astronomer/cosmologist/novelist), but no notice (so far as I can see) that it was not the full version, and that a reader who knew the older form could search it in vain for a remembered story.
For John Collier's fans -- or at least the fans of his short fiction -- there is an unmet need for a really comprehensive collection of his stories.

 The Stratfordian Libel of John Payne Collier
Not surprisingly because it was Collier who found evidence that suggested that the Author of Shakespeare's plays had survived until at least 1634 or eighteen years after William Shakespeare, the actor from Stratford died.
It concludes---contrary to the judgment of the last century---that Collier was probably innocent of the charges against him and that his accusers knew he was innocent.
During the century and a half since that time, the ink that Collier mixed would have aged at its own rate and an easily discernable difference between the original emendations or Perkins signature and Collier's alleged forgeries would now be easy to spot.
