Alexey Brodovitch was born in Russia shortly before the close of the last century. Some 73 years later he died in the remote obscurity of a small

village in the south of France. For fifty years of his profes-sional life, most of them in the United States, he was an

artist, graphic de-signer, art director,

photographer, and

teacher, but above all, he was a pervasive aesthetic presence whose lasting influence was felt throughout the entire visual arts. Yet it was almost by a spin of fate that Alexey Brodovitch came to the arts. When only a callow sixteen, Alexey was caught up in the patriotic wartime fervor of 1914 Russia and ran off to join the fighting with the Russian ar-mies. A parental decree aborted that adventure, but in exchange Bro-dovitch was sent to an elite military school from which he gradu-ated to become an officer in the Czar’s Imperial Hussars. Ironically, had it not

been for that military episode in the life of Brodovitch, we might very well have been denied the gift of his extraordinary talents and the afflu-ence of his special wisdom. For Russia, the glory of the war eventually tumbled into national agony. Revolutionary zeal replaced faded national pride. The ensuing social del-uge swept up a wounded Alexey Brodovitch, who

with the other mem-bers of his family was finally forced to seek refuge from the tide of change. The shattered family made its long odyssey to Paris, which had already become a ha-ven for many Russian refugees. In contrast to ravaged Russia, Paris was a vibrant center of artistic movements and experiment. After a brief employment as a house painter, Bro-dovitch—still untrained and unskilled as an art-ist—found work as a set painter for the Bal-let Russe, which was directed by its illustri-ous founder, Diaghi-lev. This association brought him that much closer to the spirit and thrust of contemporary artistic thought. It was not long before he was giving shape to these ideas in fabric designs and layouts for Arts et Métiers Graphiques, a vanguard review of the graphic arts pub-lished by the French typefounders Deberny and Peignot. Within a few short years, Bro-dovitch’s talents were to develop rapidly in several directions, finding their applica-tion in everything from

Hudgens was born in Salinas, California, and lived all over the West Coast – from Oregon to Southern California – with her parents, Gina (née Guangco), who held a suc-cession of office jobs, and Gregory Hudgens, a fire-fighter.She was raised as a Roman Catholic and has a younger sister, Stella Hud-gens, who is also an ac-tress. Hudgens is of mixed cultural background,[8] as her father is of Irish and Native American descent, and her mother, a native of Manila, is of Chinese-Fil-ipino-Spanish descent. All of her grandparents were musicians.

Starting at the age of eight, Hudgens performed in musical theater as a singer, and appeared in local productions of Carousel, The Wizard of Oz, The King and I, The Music Man, and Cinder-ella, among others.Two years after her career in stage plays and musicals, she started auditioning for commercials and televi-

sion shows, and her family moved to Los Angeles after she won a role in a television commercial.Her acting career started at the age of 15, and she briefly attended Orange County High School of the Arts, followed by homeschool-ing with tutors.

In 2003, Hudgens played a minor role in the independent drama film Thirteen, where she plays Noel, a friend of a lead character (Tracy, played by Evan Rachel Wood). The film was critically success-ful, receiving generally favorable reviews, and its receipts surpassed its $4 million budget. Hudgens subsequently landed a role in the 2004 science fiction-adventure film Thunderbirds as Tintin. Unfortunately, the film was commercially and critically unsuccessful, and received heavy criticism through the Internet prior to its release. In late 2005 Hudgens appeared in tele-vision shows such as Quin-tuplets, Still Standing, The

Brothers García, Drake & Josh, and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

In late 2005 she landed her breakout role of shy and meek Gabriella Mon-tez in High School Musi-cal, opposite to Zac Efron.Her performance received numerous nominations and awards.With the success of the film, the BBC pre-dicted that Hudgens would be a “household name” in the US.

In 2007, Hudgens reprised her role as Gabri-ella Montez in the sequel of High School Musical, High School Musical 2. Virginia Heffernan of TV Review described Hudg-ens in her performance in the movie as “matte” as she “glows like a proper ingénue”.

Hudgens reprised her role as Gabriella Montez in High School Musical 3: Senior Year.[21] Her per-formance in the film made her win favorite movie actress in the 2009 Kids Choice Awards.

Hudgens at the premiere of Bandslam. Her portrayal of Sa5m garnered her criti-cal acclaim.

Post-High School Musi-cal, Hudgens remarked that she will focus in her acting and films, while “taking a break” from her music career as a solo artist. She played a sup-porting role in a musical comedy Bandslam, which was released theatri-cally on August 14, 2009. Hudgens plays “Sa5m”, a 15-year-old awkward freshman with untapped talents. Although Band-slam was commercially unsuccessful, Hudgens’s performance received praise from critics.

David Waddington of the North Wales Pioneer noted that Hudgens “outshines the rest of the cast, failing to fit in with the outcast narrative and making the inevitable climactic ending all the more expected,” and Philip French of The Guardian compared her acting to Thandie Newton

the Park in thePershingSquareCenterof the

Pershing Square is a public park in downtown Los An-geles, California. The park is exactly one square block in size, bounded by 5th Street to the north, 6th Street to the south, Hill Street to the east, and Olive Street to the west. There is a large fountain located in the southern half of the square.

In the 1850s, the location was used as a camp by set-tlers outside of the Pueblo de Los Angeles, which was to the northeast around the La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles church, the plaza, and present day Olvera Street. 1850s surveyors drew the site as 10 individual plots of land, but in practicality it was a single 5-acre (20,000 m2) parcel. Canals distributing water from the Zanja Madre were adjacent. In 1866 the park site’s block of plots was dedicated as a public public square by Californio and new Mayor Cristobal Aguilar, and was first called La Plaza

Abaja, or “The Lower Plaza.” [1] At some point the owner of a nearby beergarden, German immigrant George “Round-house” Lehman, planted small native Monterey cypress trees, fruit trees, and flowering shrubs around the park, and main-tained them until his death in 1882.[1]In 1867,

St. Vincent’s College, present day Loyola Marymount Univer-sity, located across the street, and the park informally became called St. Vincent’s Park. In 1870, it was officially renamed Los Angeles Park. In 1886 it was renamed 6th Street Park,

and redesigned with an “official park plan” by Frederick Eaton, later the mayor. In the early 1890s it was renamed Central Park, which it was called for decades. During this period a bandstand pavilion was added for concerts and orators.

The plantings became sub-tropically lush, and the park became a shady oasis and an outdoor destination for the city. In 1894 the park was first used as the staging area for the an-nual crowning of the queen of ‘La Fiesta de Los Angeles,’ an event which continues now as ‘Fiesta Broadway.’

EARLY HISTORY

Angeles 21

1900sA monument to California’s 20 Spanish-American War

dead was erected in 1900; it is allegedly modeled after a Spanish-American War veteran, 7th California Infantry volunteer Charlie Hammond of San Francisco, and is believed to be the oldest work of public art in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles City Council declared it a historic-cultural monument in 1990.

In 1910 the park was renovated under a design by John Parkinson, who would later design Los Angeles City Hall and Union Station. Parkinson’s

design featured a three-tier fountain sculpted by Johan Caspar Lachne Gruenfeld,

braced by four life-size concrete cherubs support-

ing a vase of cascading water.[1] In November 1918,

a week after Armistice Day ended World War I, the park

was renamed Pershing Square, in honor of Gen. John Joseph

“Black Jack” Pershing; however a plaque was not added in his honor

for over four decades.

The park was in heavy use during World War II for rallies and recruitment. Post-war the park began to decline as commercial decentralization and suburbanization took hold in the greater L.A. region, and Downtown lost importance and intensity of use.

The entire park was demolished and ex-cavated in 1952 to build an underground parking garage. In its place was concrete topped by a thin layer of soil with a broad expanse of lawn. In 1954, Kelly Roth, a Hungarian immigrant who had owned a cigar store across from the square, do-nated $30,000 for twin reflecting pool water features in honor of his late wife and to thank Los Angeles for the opportunities it provided him. The Roth fountains were designed by renowned architect Stiles O. Clements.

The park continued to be ne-glected for safe uses. Its prob-lems were noted during the 1960 Democratic National Convention, with nominee and future president John F. Kennedy headquar-tered at the Biltmore Hotel facing the park. By the 1984 Sum-mer Olympics the park had become a serious eyesore, leading the city to spend $1 million for a temporary renovation.

In 1992, the park was closed for a major $14.5-million redesign and renovation by archi-tect—landscape architect Ricardo Legorreta of Mexico, and landscape architect Laurie Olin of the U.S. The new park opened in 1994 with: a 10-story purple bell tower, fountains, numerous public artworks including a walkway representing an earthquake fault line designed and executed

by artist Barbara McCarren, a concert stage, a seasonal ice rink, and small plazas with seating.

In the 1920-30s tropical plants were added to the park. In 1924, a life-size bronze of a World War I doughboy, sculpted by Humberton Pedretti, was unveiled, flanked by old cannons. In 1935, a bronze cannon from the USS Constitution was added. In 1932, a statue of Ludwig van Beethoven was added to honor William Andrews Clark, Jr., founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, whose home Hazard’s Pavilion was located adjacent to the park (where the planned Park Fifth Towers are to be located).

hair thick, lush and shiny. You can’t wait to use that new exfoliating scrub because the label tells you that it’s going to make your skin soft and glow-ing. You love that new cologne; every time you wear it you get so many compliments on how great you smell!

You love these products and how they make you look and feel, but did it ever occur to you that what you put on your hair or your skin could make you sick? Did you know these products contain chemicals, toxins and hormones that can cause anything from an unsightly rash to learning difficulties to birth defects and even cancer? Even though each product may contain a limited amount of these toxins, please keep in mind, most people use several products each day, from the moment they wake up (soap, shampoo, conditioner, shave cream, deodorant, toothpaste, hand soap, make up) until they go to bed. After many years of daily use, these toxins accumu-late in your body to cause the ailments I’ve listed above, among many others. If they cause these concerns for adults, just imagine the damage they can do to children who are smaller and weigh less. Although each product you may use may contain a restricted amount of chemicals, hormones and toxins, they can, and many times they do cause a myriad of damage to us all.

Not only are these beauty products toxic for humans, they are toxic to the environment, as well. Many of these products are made with petroleum-based ingredients, which contributes to global warming. Did you know that if you switch just one bottle of a petroleum based product for a vegetable based product we could save 81,000 barrels of oil in one year. How’s that for incen-tive to switch?
