The Ruth & Raymond Perelman Building is part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was originally built by the Fidelity Mutual Life Company in 1927.
The exterior decoration was by sculptor Lee Lawrie with Hartley Burr Alexander. It is themed as "family as the basis of society and civilization". This was to infer that insurance was to preserve the family.
The museum publishes itself, a brochure about the continued use of the swastika. It says:
The swastika, an ancient symbol of prosperity, and good fortune, has long been used by Asian, African, European and North American cultures, sometimes as a geometric motif, and sometimes as a religious symbol. In Hinduism, it can be a symbol of good luck, the sun, and the four cardinal directions. In Buddism, it has represented universal harmony, the balance of the opposites, love and mercy, strength and intelligence. Among Native Americans, the sign has various meaning; to the Hopi it signifies the wandering Hopi clan; to the Navajo, the whirlingwinds.
Within the context of this building, the swastika was considered a symbol of prosperity and good, to be seen alongside the owl for wisdom, the mother bird feeding her young for protection, and the bee and flower for industry.
In the 1920's the Nazi Party in Germany appropriated the sswastika as thier party symbol and later it became the symbol of the Third Reich, and the national flag of Germany. Because of the association with Nazism, the swastika acquired new meaning as a symbol of hate and semitism.
The Perelman Building, orginally the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company, is a national landmark and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and in the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1980. This building was purchased by the Museum in 1999 and, due to its landmark status, the symbols were not removed during the recent rennovation and expansion.
"The lion, a symbol of power, wisdom, and good fortune, chases away evil spirits and brings happiness, longevity, and good luck."
Not sure what it is about kanji tattoos that white people like so much. I don't keep kanji flash and wouldn't wear writing I can't read myself, but I personally know a dozen caucasians with various kanji marks. This kid surprised me by wanting what he said was "prosperity"... not the choice I'd expect from a 19 year old for his first tat, but there you have it.
A show about self-improvement through self-denial
July 4 - 18, 2009
While large-scale organs of protection and improvement, such as schools, hospitals, and prisons, enforce the social contract through a restriction of choice and a remote delegation of authority, personal or cultural techniques for redirecting and mastering libido, the inner primordial chaos we carry within, can be found in the options represented by salad, church, and exercise. The deep loyalty and repulsion aroused in modern hearts by these three everyday pursuits, and their heroic and perverse obsession with denying the desires of the body, is the starting point for the works in “Salad-Church-Exercise,” fantasies that are channeled into a polymorphous menagerie of audiovisual media.

St Peter, Claydon, Suffolk
Claydon is a large village on the outskirts of Ipswich. Its medieval parish church was declared redundant in 1977. This was a time when a number of churches were made redundant with a speculative view to a sale. It was assumed that planning permission for conversion to a house would be easily obtained. Often, these sales failed to materialise, but the Diocese refused to allow local trusts or charities to take their care on for no financial return.
Claydon was one of these, and the writer Derek Mortlock quotes from the Redundant Churches Fund report for 1987: Within sight of new housing and burgeoning prosperity the diocese left this historic church to rot for eleven years while attempts to find an alternative use came to nothing. It is one of the most conspicuous cases of neglect we have come across.
In the end, bad publicity shamed the Diocese into allowing the church to be vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Today, the church is beautifully cared for by local people, but eleven years of abandonment have taken their toll. Incidentally, it may seem extraordinary that the parish church for a village of 6,000 people should be declared redundant, but there is another medieval church in the hamlet of Barham on the outskirts of Claydon which is larger, with a bigger graveyard, and which was considered at the time less saleable.
St Peter, Claydon, is one of the great forgotten 19th century rebuildings. In style and substance it looks the work of an amateur Pugin, which is pretty much the truth. The vicar for most of the second half of the 19th century was Father George Drury, one of the great High Church eccentrics. So often in Suffolk, we see the fruits of Anglo-catholicism in their early 20th century ascendancy, as at Kettlebaston and Lound. Here at Claydon, we see evidence a movement beseiged, in the struggles of half a century earlier. Drury suffered attacks on his person, property and reputation. The convent he established was broken into by a mob, who 'rescued' a nun and carted her off to a lunatic asylum, where she was incarcerated under the orders of her father. She stayed there until he died. Drury's rectory suffered so many assaults that he was forced to build a nine-foot wall around it, which soon became covered with anti-catholic slogans.
It has to be said that 'Firm Father George' rose to the challenge with enthusiasm. In the 1870s, 50 years before such things became acceptable, his congregation would parade through Claydon with banners of the Blessed Virgin flying, kneeling down with them in a field while singing the Ave Maria. High Mass was accompanied by incense, vestments and candles. The local protestants were scandalised beyond belief; supported by popular opinion and the low church Bishop of Norwich, they hatched plot after plot against him. The most famous of these was the Akenham Burial Case, which led to a change in national burial laws.
The major rebuilding here was by worthy enthusiast R.M. Phipson, the diocesan architect, under Drury's direction, for the Drury family also presented to the living. This was not unusual, of course; many landed families held the patronage of their local church, and often presented a younger son to it. But by the second half of the 19th century, it was becoming less common, as younger sons preferred the opportunities for advancement out in the Empire. It survived only where the family embraced evangelical or Tractarian ideals; for them, the nature of the priesthood had a somewhat higher status. As well as the Drurys of Claydon, a similar situation existed with the Sucklings at Barsham.
Drury's great secular passion was carving. He produced much work here in wood and stone; the pulpit is his, as are many of the little details on roof and walls. The rest, by Phipson's man Henry Ringham, were under Drury's direction.
This work is an extremely early ritualist makeover, dating from the 1850s. Newman had crossed the Tiber barely 5 years before, and the Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus of the reredos must have caused a few racing pulses. The interior is all Drury's, including much of the glass, and the whole thing is an extraordinary memorial to the man.
The interior suffered greatly during the years or abandonment - for example, of the large four evangelist carvings under the crossing, only St Mark survives, and the stained glass is still peppered with holes from stones thrown by the descendants of those who had stoned Drury himself a century before.
Drury was an all-round handyman. He had a brick kiln of his own in the garden, and also built large flint walls in a medieval style around his vegetable garden, using tracery from the ruined church at Thurleston, a mile or so off.
His funeral in 1895 was carefully documented by 'ritualism-watchers', who noted the robed choir, the cross carried in procession, the incense and the sign of the cross. Drury would have been amazed that his position would have been fairly mainstream by the 1930s; less so, perhaps, by its rapid retreat today. His large grave is guarded by railings in the south-east corner of the churchyard, beneath the great yew. For one moment there, one forgets the surrounding suburbia of bungalows and semi-detacheds, the modern High School across the road, the new housing estate. Here, the 19th century still exists.
And then, back down to the village centre. At the bottom of the hill, a group of new houses is called Drury Road. A rather mundane memorial to one of the Church of England's great loose canons.
