I love my itty-bitty Starbucks ornament, tho!

Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929)
Robert Henri was born Robert Henry Cozad in Cozaddale, Ohio, a village near Cincinnati that had been founded by his father, the land promoter Richard Henry Cozad. In 1873 Richard moved his family to another of his pioneer towns, Cozad, Nebraska, but they were forced to leave in 1882 following a range war in which Richard shot a cattleman. Fearing arrest, Richard and his family changed their names and moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1886 the renamed Robert Henri began his art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Hovenden and Thomas Anschutz. Henri then went to France to continue his studies, enrolling at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1888. During his first French sojourn, Henri discovered the works of Edouard Manet, which profoundly influenced his figurative style. In 1891 Henri returned to Philadelphia, where he opened his own studio and began teaching at the Women's School of Design (now the Moore College of Art). It was then that he befriended William Glackens, John Sloan, Everett Shinn, and George Luks, his later compatriots in the Ashcan School. In 1897 Henri was honored with a one-man exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy. The following year he married Linda Craige and returned with her to Paris, where they remained until 1900. This second European trip included visits to Brittany and Madrid and marked Henri's growing interest in the works of Whistler and Velázquez. In 1900 the Henris settled permanently in New York, where Henri executed a series of brilliant city scenes before returning to the figurative works for which he is now best known. In 1902 Henri had his first one-person exhibition in New York, at Macbeth Gallery, and began teaching at the New York School of Art. Following the tragic early death of his first wife in 1905, Henri married Marjorie Organ in 1908, the same year the group of young American urban Realists known as The Eight first exhibited together, at Macbeth Gallery.
Throughout his life, Henri loved to travel and to explore new subjects. During the summers, he visited Holland, Spain, Ireland, New Mexico, and Maine. Henri was considered one of the finest art teachers in the United States; in 1923 he published the still-influential “The Art Spirit”, a collection of his teachings and sayings compiled by his student Margery Ryerson. Henri maintained meticulous "Record Books" (private collection) on his paintings, which remain the primary source of information about his work.

The NBMAA collection represents the major artists and movements of American art. Today it numbers about 8,274 paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photographs, including the Sanford B.D. Low Illustration Collection, which features important works by illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, and Maxfield Parrish.
Among collection highlights are colonial and federal portraits, with examples by John Smibert, John Trumbull, John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, and the Peale family. The Hudson River School features landscapes by Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Martin Johnson Heade, John Kensett, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederic Church. Still life painters range from Raphaelle Peale, Severin Roesen, William Harnett, John Peto, John Haberle, and John La Farge. American genre painting is represented by John Quidor, William Sidney Mount, and Lilly Martin Spencer. Post-Civil War examples include works by Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, George de Forest Brush, and William Paxton, and 19 plasters and bronzes by Solon Borglum. American Impressionists include Mary Cassatt, Theodore Robinson, John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Willard Metcalf, and Childe Hassam, the last represented by eleven oils. Later Impressionist paintings include those by Ernest Lawson, Frederck Frieseke, Louis Ritman, Robert Miller, and Maurice Prendergast.
Other strengths of the twentieth-century collection include: sixty works by members of the Ash Can School; significant representation by early modernists such as Alfred Maurer, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Max Weber; important examples by the Precisionists Charles Demuth, Charles Sheeler, Preston Dickinson, and Ralston Crawford; a broad spectrum of work by the Social Realists Ben Shahn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and Jack Levine; and ambitious examples of Regionalist painting by Grant Wood, John Steuart Curry, and Thomas Hart Benton, notably the latter’s celebrated five-panel mural, The Arts of Life in America (1932).
Works by the American Abstract Artist group (Stuart Davis, Ilya Bolotowsky, Esphyr Slobodkina, Balcomb Greene, and Milton Avery) give twentieth-century abstraction its place in the collection, as do later examples of Surrealism by artists Kay Sage and George Tooker; Abstract Expressionism (Lee Krasner, Giorgio Cavallon, Morris Graves, Robert Motherwell, Sam Francis, Cleve Gray), Pop and Op art (Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, Robert Indiana, Tom Wesselman, Jim Dine), Conceptual (Christo, Sol LeWitt), and Photo-Realism (Robert Cottingham). Examples of twentieth-century sculpture include Harriet Frishmuth, Paul Manship, Isamu Noguchi, George Segal, and Stephen DeStaebler. We continue to acquire contemporary works by notable artists, in order to best represent the dynamic and evolving narrative of American art.

In a 4-day food aid distribution, Mona Relief's ground crew delivered urgent food aid packages to 500 vulnerable families in Bait al-Fakeh, al-Mansouriah, al-Durehimi and al-Hawak districts of Hodeidah governorate in western Yemen.
The fifth phase just has started today and continued for four days, based on a donation came from the UK based Charity, al-Khair Foundation and aims to reach out the most needy families in the poorest governorate in the country, Hodeidah, where there is widespread starvation among the population.

In the second day of food aid distribution, Mona Relief delivered 150 families in al-Jarab area of al-Mansouriah before starting our distribution our ground crew was intercepted by local authorities who asked us to not to distribute anything before getting a permission form the authorities to be able to deliver food aid. And a long negotiation with them they asked to accompany our crew during the distribution we accepted that and we were able to deliver the aid to families there, who finally praising our work.
As we reached that area, I didn’t expect that I'm going to see people living under under the poverty line

The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city"). The term acropolis is generic and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times the Acropolis of Athens was known also more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man, Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king.
