In 1919, the Treaty of Paris took place that year, and compared to the conference, a goddess came into the world on this day of that year, and she was Jennifer Jones.
Born March 2, 1919 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, her real name is Phyllis Flora Isley, a film actress. She is an American actress who became popular under the film studio system by producer David Selznick. Jennifer Jones is a famous Hollywood actress who has been nominated for an Oscar five times, and won the Academy Award for Best Actress and the inaugural Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 1943 for "The Virgin's Song". She worked with many of the biggest names in Hollywood at the time. His career as an actor spanned 35 years, during which time he appeared in 22 films. Her daughter's suicide and breast cancer in her later years prompted her to devote herself to philanthropy, and she was also one of the directors of the Norton Simon Museum. Jennifer Jones died at the age of 90 at her home in Malibu on December 17, 2009.
In 1858, Bernardet, a 14-year-old girl, found many images of the Virgin in a cave in Massabile, and she received inspiration from the Virgin Mary to turn this cave of Lauders into a pilgrimage site, and her fantasies were doubted by the world's religious circles. After a long investigation, the Vatican only recognized the statues in 1862. Finally the Son entered a monastery, where she lived an indisputable life and died of tuberculosis at the age of 35.
In 1944, Jennifer Jones's performance of "The Virgin's Song" won the 16th Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe for Best Actress by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. After that, she created a variety of stunning images, she has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the film "Since the Farewell" (1944), and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress three times for the film "Soft Intestines" (1945), "Duel in the Sun" (1946), "Life and Death Love" (1955), and her acting career lasted for 35 years, during which time she participated in 22 films.
Her love:
Born in Oklahoma in 1919, Jones arrived in Hollywood with only minor roles in second-rate films. It took her luck to meet David Selznick, a big Hollywood producer and later her husband, and things improved. Selznick changed her original name to Phyllis Izli to Jennifer Jones, gave her three years of professional training, and put her in the lead role in The Hyacinth' Song. 1943's "Song of the Virgin" was the starting point for the glory days of her acting career. By the time the film was made, Jones was a mother of two, and her first husband was actor Robert Walker, who was six months older than her. Their married life was not a happy one. After meeting producer David O. Selznick, who was 17 years older than her, Jones quickly became his signed artist. With Selznick's help, Jones got the role of a 19th-century French peasant girl in Song of the Virgin, which made her a hit and won an Oscar for Best Actress.
In 1943, Jones divorced Walker, and by then, she had already had a scandal with Selznick. In 1949, Selznick married Jones on a yacht off the coast of Italy. In 1951, Jones' ex-husband Walker died of emotional problems and years of alcoholism at the age of 32. That year, he had just made an acting career breakthrough by starring in Hitchcock's "Train Freaks.". Walker blamed his psychological problems and drinking habits on the emotional damage Jones had done to him.
The second husband, Selznick, was undoubtedly the most important man in Jones's life and career. Their collaborations on "Since the Farewell of the King" (1944), "Blood Sprinkled Notes" (1945), "The Sun Bathing in Blood" (1946), and "How Beautiful Love" won Jones four Oscar nominations, of which "Since the Farewell" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and the other three were nominated for Best Actress. After Jones starred in "Battlefield Spring Dream" in 1957, his acting career came to a standstill, and "Battlefield Spring Dream" was Selznick's ambition, but it suffered a box office failure. His decision to insist on his 30-year-old wife playing the 21-year-old heroine has also attracted criticism. After Selznick's death in 1965, Jones also faded out of show business.
In 1967, Jones made headlines in the Major American Press after attempting suicide by swallowing an entire bottle of sleeping pills in his apartment. In 1976, she committed suicide by jumping off a building with her daughter, Mary Jennifer Selznick, at the age of 21.
In 1971, unable to withstand the fierce pursuit of millionaire Norton Simon, Jones married Simon. Simon was an industrialist in his early years, and in his later years he became immersed in art, becoming one of the most famous collectors in the United States and investing in the establishment of the Norton Simon Museum. In the 1970s, she rarely made films, but in 1974 she participated in the performance of "Burning Skyscraper". Since then, he has withdrawn from the film industry. Jones also participated in the film "Female Fox", "Ruby", "Farewell, Weapon" and so on.
After Simon's death in 1993, Jones managed the museum well and oversaw its renovation.
Then below, the invincible ads are coming.
I hope that the museum will contact the editor as soon as possible to pay off the advertising costs... Just pay a small goal.
Founded in 1969 in Pasadena, California, the Norton Simon Museum houses Asian art, European art from the 14th to 19th centuries, modern art, and contemporary art.
The Norton Simon Museum has a collection of 11,000 pieces, including European paintings, sculptures and tapestries, Asian sculptures, paintings and woodblock prints. It has some of the most exquisite and prestigious works of art in the world. The works of art in the museum flash the painstaking efforts and foresight of its founder, standing like a monument, recording the epic of human civilization, imitating the exemplary works of visual art, and praising the nobility of personal brilliance. The exterior of the Norton Simon Museum also has a special sculpture park, which is planted with plants from all over the world, in addition to the brightly colored plants, the garden also displays a large number of strange sculptures, making it an ornamental entertainment park that integrates art and plants. Located in the garden, you can not only admire the flowers, but also enjoy the sculptures from the hands of the world's masters.
The Norton Simon Museum brings together the works of the masters and becomes a paradise for art, providing a vast space for art lovers. The museum is open from 12.00 noon to 6.00 pm and is closed on Tuesdays.
The following is from the sharing of lxxlz88
The Norton Simon Museum of Art is not very large, the building is quite simple, there is a courtyard outside, the plants inside are very peculiar, and there are various sculptures.
The architectural style of the museum, as well as the whole style of the museum, is much more low-key than the Getty Center, but after entering it, it is shocking, and the art works inside can really not be underestimated!
After opening the door at 12 o'clock, we entered the museum, and first went to a small auditorium to see a movie of about thirty minutes called "The Art of Norton Simon", as if it was directed by a man named davis guggenheim, and I don't know if he and the one who founded the Guggenheim Museum are from the same family. The film introduces this of America's countless legendary rich men: Norton Simon. We don't really know much about The Tycoons of the United States, and the one who can be called by his contemporaries is Bill Gates; it is estimated that we can know a little bit about Rockefeller. Now it seems that the legend of the United States is not only that this country has money, but that there are more legends of rich people in this country. For example, this Norton Simon, who began as a self-made ordinary businessman, bucked the trend during the Great Depression, and after the war, developed and merged, and became a multinational group of food, publishing, cosmetics, and automobiles. By the time Norton Simon was in his forties, he began to have a real opportunity to get exposed to art. "The whole person suddenly enters another world, a world that seems to have longed for in the heart, but has only been able to embrace it so far." The self-made businessman had a great art appreciation, and with the money, he began to buy and collect paintings from famous artists. Later, he also went to Asia (Southeast Asia) to buy a lot of art. Later, he bought the poorly run local art museum, remodeled it, and put his collection into the current art museum. I remember saying in the movie that every piece of work here was collected by himself and was very cherished. At the beginning of the film, he is in a wheelchair, knowing that he will soon die, so he goes to the museum for the last time and says goodbye to these beloved works of art.
xx and zz are very convincing. There are many rich people, but rich people are not obsessed with money, but can calm down and start to cultivate a hobby that needs to be cultivated hard in the year of confusion, which is really not simple. It is even more admirable to devote his life to sharing his hobbies with the public and giving a little tourist like us the opportunity to appreciate it!
There are many paintings, just say something that we can understand and like.
The first favorite painting was this saint cecilia by Guido Reni/Guido Reni. I had never seen much of this painter's work before, and when I saw it for the first time, I thought it was very Raphael's style. Especially the abundance of the characters, the eyes, and so on.
The second is this painting of Saint Joseph and the Infant Christ by Bassio Baciccio, a Renaissance work by an Italian painter. In fact, we don't see many beautiful paintings of the Renaissance, and this one is really good-looking. The expressions are vivid and the lighting is particularly good.
There are many works by Adam and Eve in the Renaissance. There is also one here. The painter was German, called Lucas Cranach the elder. This painting of Adam and Eve feels quite mild.
There is also Raphael's painting, and the best painting "Madonna and Child with Book":
The cover of this museum's brochure is a still life by the Spanish painter Subarão / zurbarán. The man is said to be very low-key and rarely signs his paintings. This is the only signed still life:
There are several paintings by Rembrandt in the museum. In addition to his self-portrait, it is highly admired that he has an unfinished portrait of a little boy, which is beautiful.
There are also many paintings by French painters. For example, Sherdan's kitchen still life:
There is an exhibition hall in the museum dedicated to how synthetic blue color changed the history of painting. It is said that before, the naturally extracted blue color can only be found from lapis lazuli, which is particularly expensive. Therefore, the painter must consider the cost when painting, and the more blue is used, the higher the cost. Since it was possible to synthesize Puran, a large number of works with blue style have come out. For example, vigée-lebrun's Portrait of Madame Teresa/Protrait of theresa, and Degas's "Plundering Sabine Women" by Poussin
By the way, there are many modern paintings! For example, Gustave Caillebotte, in dc, did not underestimate the painter's "painter's eye". Oh my God, he loves rowing!
Apparently Norton Simon was a brainwashed fan of Edgar Degas. I don't know how many works Degas has in the museum, and there are dancing girls and bathing women everywhere:
Naturally, there are paintings by Gauguin, Cézanne and Van Gogh in the museum. Isn't it true that Van Gogh's works are not many? We really don't look at it less!
Oh, and here's a collection of Picasso's famous paintings: The Woman Reading a Book! On the introduction note, there is also a photo of the model that Picasso painted this painting! Say it and who believes it!
There are also many modern art paintings in it, that is, the kind of paint that is splashed every day, the picture is particularly large, anyway, I can't understand it, and I can only use a "Oh ~ ~ ~~ " word to evaluate the painting.
Sitting in the courtyard at noon, the sun is shining and the shade of the trees is very comfortable:
So I decided to sit here and order something to eat. Looking at the basic fast food, I tried a one that I had never eaten, called what a Greek roll. It's hard to eat to this day! It seems to be a piece of sauce wrapped in weeds with a rag and mixed with mud. One bite is a cold war. Even zz, who has never been a picky eater, could not swallow it, and could only sit dry and stare.
Hurt by such a lunch, our later visit seems to be less interesting - art can not afford to eat! Shame on you! ——A brief stroll through the Asian art exhibition area. There are many bronze statues of the Indian generation inside. But what impressed me was a set of ivory chess pieces from Delhi, India. The carving is really magical, all the black and white patterns are inlaid instead of painted, suit!
There is also a lotus pond in the courtyard of the museum, which looks like it should be a model of Monet's lotus pond in Giverny. There are quite a few sculptures around. If nothing else, there is a painting of air by artiste maillol, which is very impressive. I thought I should have seen it in New York Moma, and later found out that it was indeed so:
When I was writing this travelogue, I went to the museum's official website and suddenly found that the "Wesley's Mother" in June this year had visited the museum. We were not allowed to see this painting when we were at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris; at the time, we doubted that we had really let the bean dry up
Defeated by the "grass rag" at noon, I really wanted to compensate myself. Wen called the beast to suggest going to rosemead to eat kebabs. Two people sitting hesitantly... In the end, it was still unable to defeat the "Chinese stomach", and resolutely decided to find it all the way. As we walked, we broke into a Chinese settlement larger than Roland Heights. I think the Chinese really took root in Los Angeles! When we arrived, the people's bar was not yet open for business, but I was stunned to hang out in the nearby supermarket for enough, waiting for the door to open and enter.
Wen called the recommendation of the beast credit lever! delicious! Zz classmates eat two people alone is not enough!
Well, today's advertising is here, everyone has the opportunity to go to the United States can go to play, remember to help me to get the advertising fee...
