Good Morning (magazine)
''Good Morning'' was an American political humor magazine published launched in May 1919 by Ellis O. Jones, formerly an associate editor of ''Life'' magazine and veteran radical cartoonist Art Young. Both had worked together on the staff of the left wing monthly ''The Masses.'' Funded in large part by donations, the magazine was financially troubled from the outset and over time it was forced to decrease in frequency from weekly to semi-monthly to monthly. Costs still continued to outstrip revenues, however, and the publication was terminated in October 1921. An effort by Young to revive the publication in 1922 as the ''Art Young Quarterly'' failed after just a single issue. History Establishment The short-lived magazine ''Good Morning'' began early in 1919 through the joint efforts of 53-year-old cartoonist Art Young and a former associate editor of ''Life'' magazine, Ellis O. Jones.Daniel Aaron, "Good Morning: New York, 1919-1921," in Joseph R. Conlin (ed.), ''The American Rad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Art Shields
Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas. There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures. In the Western tradition, the three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture. Theatre, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, music, film and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Until the 17th century, ''art'' referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. The nature of art and related concepts, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
