Matsusaburo George Hibi, born Japan 1886
died New York City 1947
Matsusaburo George Hibi was an American painter and printmaker, born in Japan. In addition to developing his own notable artistic practice, Hibi left a lasting impact through his efforts in organizing pre-WWII art associations in Northern California.
Hibi emigrated to the United States in 1906 as a young adult, initially studying English in Seattle, Washington. He moved to San Francisco, California shortly after, where he drew cartoons for Californian newspapers and Japanese publications. Hibi’s formal art education began in 1919 at the California School of the Arts, where he would remain for 11 years as a student, custodian, and staff member.
By the early 1920s, Hibi had emerged as a key figure among the Japanese and Asian American art communities based in Northern California. Hibi helped found the East West Art Society in 1921 and served as lead contact for organizing the group’s exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1922, which featured works by himself, Chee Chin S. Cheung Lee, Tokio Ueyama, and his close friend Chiura Obata, among others. Hibi married Hisako Shimizu, a Japanese immigrant who also studied at the California School of the Arts, in 1930 and relocated to Hayward, California. While raising his two children and teaching at his Japanese language school for second-generation Japanese Americans, Hibi continued to produce and exhibit his artwork in numerous juried exhibitions throughout the Bay Area. In 1937, Hibi held his first solo exhibition comprised of 90 paintings at Hayward Union High School.
However, Hibi’s artistic career and life were uprooted by the events of World War II. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Executive Order 9066 forced all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to move to incarceration camps beginning in 1942. Hibi and his family were initially sent to Tanforan Assembly Center, then Topaz War Relocation Center, where he played an instrumental role in organizing and running the art schools alongside Chiura Obata. Hibi continued to produce his own work as well, such as paintings and small woodblock prints that depict the camp’s barracks blanketed in snow. These works often feature his signature motif of coyotes or mountain lions, whose presence emanates a sense of anxiety and struggle for survival that pervaded the campgrounds. Despite the harsh physical and emotional climate of their incarceration, Hibi remained committed to arts, as evidenced by his writing: "I am now inside a barbed wire fence but still sticking to art–I seek no dirt of the earth, but the light in the star of the sky."
After their release from Tanforan in 1945, Hibi and his family moved to New York City, where he attempted to rekindle his artistic career. However, Hibi's health quickly deteriorated, and he died in 1947 from cancer. His widow Hisako, who later relocated to San Francisco, organized a posthumous solo exhibition of his work at the Lucien Labaudt Gallery in 1962.

Experience America
The 1930s was a heady time for artists in America. Through President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the federal government paid them to paint and sculpt and urged them to look to the nation’s land and people for subjects. For the next decade — until World War II brought support to a halt — the country’s artists captured the beauty of the landscape, the industry of America’s working people, and a sense of community shared in towns large and small despite the Great Depression.
Many of the paintings in Experience America were created in 1934 for a pilot program designed to put artists to work; others were produced under the auspices of the WPA (Works Progress Administration), which followed. The thousands of paintings, sculptures, and murals placed in schools, post offices, and other public buildings stand as a testimony to the resilience of Americans during one of the most difficult periods in U.S. history. This display is drawn entirely from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection. SAAM holds the largest collection of New Deal art in the world.

During the Great Depression, president Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised a “new deal for the American people,” initiating government programs to foster economic recovery. Roosevelt’s pledge to help “the forgotten man” also embraced America’s artists. The Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) enlisted artists to capture “the American Scene” in works of art that would embellish public buildings across the country. Although it lasted less than one year, from December 1933 to June 1934, the PWAP provided employment for thousands of artists, giving them an important role in the country’s recovery. Their legacy, captured in more than fifteen thousand artworks, helped “the American Scene” become America seen.

(18 September 1709 [OS 7 September] – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. Religiously, he was a devout Anglican[1], and politically a committed Tory. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes Johnson as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history".[2] He is the subject of James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson, described by Walter Jackson Bate as "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature".[3]
Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Johnson attended Pembroke College, Oxford, for just over a year, but a lack of funds forced him to leave. After working as a teacher, he moved to London, where he began to write for The Gentleman's Magazine. His early works include the biography Life of Mr Richard Savage, the poems London and The Vanity of Human Wishes, and the play Irene.
After nine years of work, Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language was published in 1755. It had a far-reaching effect on Modern English and has been acclaimed as "one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship".[4] This work brought Johnson popularity and success. Until the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary 150 years later, Johnson's was the pre-eminent British dictionary.[5] His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, and the widely read tale The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets.
Johnson was a tall[a] and robust man. His odd gestures and tics were disconcerting to some on first meeting him. Boswell's Life, along with other biographies, documented Johnson's behaviour and mannerisms in such detail that they have informed the posthumous diagnosis of Tourette syndrome,[6] a condition not defined or diagnosed in the 18th century. After a series of illnesses, he died on the evening of 13 December 1784, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. In the years following his death, Johnson began to be recognised as having had a lasting effect on literary criticism, and he was claimed by some to be the only truly great critic of English literature.[7

John Middlemore blue plaque at B5 Central from Barratt Homes.
Located in Highgate, Birmingham.
On a new green space. Spooner Croft Linear Park.
Close to Rowton Lane and Lawford Grove. The former children's home would have been on St Luke's Road, before it moved to Selly Oak.
That building was later used as the Hebrew School, before that relocated to Moseley as King David School around 1965.
Near here stood one of the first Children’s Emigration Homes founded by John Middlemore (1844-1924). In memory of more than 5,000 children sent to Canada and Australia between 1873 and 1954.
Plaque unveiled July 2022 by the Birmingham Civic Society.
Middlemore Children's Emigration Homes
The premises at 157 St Luke's Road, Highgate was opened in August 1872, at first for boys. The premises was expanded from 157 to 161 St Luke's Road to accommodate boys and girls. Middlemore Homes moved to new purpose built premises on Weoley Park Road, Selly Oak in 1928.
The Birmingham Hebrew School was located at St Luke's Road from 1932 until 1965, until they relocated to 244 Alcester Road, Moseley as the King David School.
The building was later used as the Highgate Centre, but demolished by 2017-18 for B5 Central from Barratt Homes.

People's power normally elicits at least a frisson of sympathy. But the antics of the People's Alliance for Democracy - which neither represents the people nor seeks democracy - has failed to provoke anything but disdain. The alliance of middle-class Thais, whose supporters have occupied both of Bangkok's airports and reduced the elected government to working out of a northern city, threatens lasting damage to the country's economy and its fragile institutions.
