Strikingly beautiful Anna Sten (1908-1993) was a Ukrainian-born actress, who became the most famous, or rather, the most notorious of the many ‘new Greta Garbos’ of the 1930s.
Anna Sten was born Anel (Anjuschka) Stenski Sudakevich in 1908, in Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine, Russian Empire (now Kyiv, Ukraine). Her father was a Ukrainian ballet master who died when she was 12, her mother was Swedish. Anna herself worked as a waitress until she was discovered at the age of 15 while acting in an amateur play in Kyiv. She studied at the Moscow Film Academy and later acted in plays and such popular films as Devushka s korobkoy (Boris Barnet, 1927), Zemlya v plenu (Fyodor Otsep/Fedor Ozep, 1928) and Belyy oryol (Yakov Protazanov, 1928). Then she travelled to Germany to appear in films co-produced by German and Russian studios, international productions common in the years prior to World War II. Making a smooth transition to talking pictures, Anna appeared in such German films as Salto Mortale (Ewald André Dupont, 1931), Der Mörder Dimitri Karamasoff (Erich Engels, Fedor Ozep, 1931) and Stürme der Leidenschaft (Robert Siodmak, 1932).
Anna Sten came to the attention of American movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn. He was looking for a foreign-born actress that he could build up as the rival of, and possibly a successor to, Greta Garbo. For two years he had his new star tutored in English and taught Hollywood screen acting methods. Her first American film was Nana (Dorothy Arzner, George Fitzmaurice, 1934), a somewhat homogenised version of Emile Zola's scandalous novel. But the film was not successful at the box office, and nor were her two subsequent Goldwyn films, We Live Again (Rouben Mamoulian, 1934) and The Wedding Night (King Vidor, 1935) with Gary Cooper. Reluctantly, Goldwyn dissolved his contract with his ‘new Garbo. She continued making films in the USA and England, including secondary roles in The Man I Married (Irving Pichel, 1940), So Ends Our Night (John Cromwell, 1941) and a lead in the propaganda film They Came to Blow Up America (Edward Ludwig, 1943). In the late 1950s, she was seen in the cheap juvenile delinquent epic Runaway Daughters (Edward L. Cahn, 1956), produced at American International Pictures. Happily, Sten did not have to rely on acting to support her comfortable lifestyle. She was married to film producer Eugene Frenke, who flourished in Hollywood after following his wife stateside in 1932. Most of Anna Sten's latter-day film appearances were, in fact, favours to her husband. She had an uncredited bit in the Frenke-produced Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (John Huston, 1957), and a full lead in her final film (also produced by Frenke), The Nun and the Sergeant (Franklin Adreon, 1962).

She's so serious and meticulous playing around with and mixing various glasses of water colored by food coloring and a little water dropper. She was our little helpers when trying to do our fun art/photography experiments.
Note the food coloring at the corner of her mouth. I think she was secretly swigging the green when we weren't looking :P
Bohemian Switzerland - Bohemian Switzerland is the czech part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in northern Bohemia. The landscape of Bohemian Switzerland has for centuries fascinated geologists, sport climbers and the romantic souls of artists. Most of the nature reserve is blanketed by forest. The canyon of river Kamenice near Jetrichovice is mill with a long history. The first information of Dolsky mill dates back to1515. Mill played in the famous fairytale - The princess of pride.
V kaňonu říčky Kamenice stojí nedaleko Jetřichovic mlýn s dlouhou historií. První zmínka o Dolském mlýně pochází z roku 1515. Mlýn si zahrál ve známé pohádce Pyšná princezna
Die Böhmische Schweiz liegt im Nordwesten von Tschechien. Diese Landschaft ist voll von geheimen Orten mit einer sehr interessanten Geschichte. Die Region wird auch sächsisch-böhmische Schweiz genannt, denn geologisch ist die sächsisch-tschechische Grenzregion einheitlich und den meisten Besuchern unter dem oft als synonym verwendeten Begriff Elbsandsteingebirge bekannt.

I do not wish to be an artist, I only wish that art enables me to be.
– Noah Purifoy, 1963
Born in Snow Hill, Alabama in 1917, Noah Purifoy lived and worked most of his life in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, California, where he died in 2004. He received an undergraduate degree from Alabama State Teachers College in 1943 and a graduate degree from Atlanta University in 1948. In 1956, just shy of his 40th birthday, Purifoy earned a BFA degree from Chouinard, now CalArts.
His earliest body of sculpture, constructed out of charred debris from the 1965 Watts rebellion, was the basis for 66 Signs of Neon, the landmark 1966 group exhibition on the Watts riots that traveled throughout the country. As a founding director of the Watts Towers Art Center, Purifoy knew the community intimately. His 66 Signs of Neon, in line with the postwar period’s fascination with the street and its objects, constituted a Duchampian approach to the fire-molded alleys of Watts. This strategy profoundly impacted artists such as David Hammons, John Outterbridge and Senga Nengudi. For the 20 years that followed the rebellion, Purifoy dedicated himself to the found object, and to using art as a tool for social change.
In the late 1980s, after 11 years of public policy work for the California Arts Council, where Purifoy initiated programs such as Artists in Social Institutions, which brought art into the state prison system, Purifoy moved his practice out to the Mojave desert. He lived for the last 15 years of his life creating ten acres full of large-scale sculpture on the desert floor. Constructed entirely from junked materials, this otherworldly environment is one of California’s great art historical wonders. No Title
