Pierrot
Pierrot ( , , ) is a stock character of pantomime and ''commedia dell'arte'', whose origins are in the late seventeenth-century Italian troupe of players performing in Paris and known as the Comédie-Italienne. The name is a diminutive of ''Pierre'' (Peter), via the suffix '' -ot.'' His character in contemporary popular culture — in poetry, fiction, and the visual arts, as well as works for the stage, screen, and concert hall — is that of the sad clown, often pining for love of Columbine, who usually breaks his heart and leaves him for Harlequin. Performing unmasked, with a whitened face, he wears a loose white blouse with large buttons and wide white pantaloons. Sometimes he appears with a frilled collaret and a hat, usually with a close-fitting crown and wide round brim and, more rarely, with a conical shape like a dunce's cap. Pierrot's character developed from being a buffoon to an avatar of the disenfranchised. Many cultural movements found him amenable to their res ...

Charles Tomlinson Griffes
Charles Tomlinson Griffes ( ; September 17, 1884 – April 8, 1920) was an American composer for piano, chamber ensembles and voice. His initial works are influenced by German Romanticism, but after he relinquished the German style, his later works make him the most famous American representative of musical Impressionism, along with Charles Martin Loeffler. He was fascinated by the exotic, mysterious sound of the French Impressionists, and was compositionally much influenced by them while he was in Europe. He also studied the work of contemporary Russian composers such as Scriabin, whose influence is also apparent in his use of synthetic scales. Musical career Griffes was born in Elmira, New York. He had early piano lessons with his sister Katherine and later studied piano with Mary Selena Broughton, who taught at Elmira College. Broughton had a profound impact on his personal and musical development. After early studies on piano and organ in his home town, on recommendatio ...

Pierrot (painting)
''Pierrot'', also retrospectively known as ''Gilles'', is an oil on canvas painting of by the French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721). Completed in the later phase of Watteau's career, ''Pierrot'' measures 184.5 by 149.5 cm, which makes up somewhat unusual case in the artist's body of work. The painting depicts a number of actors portraying ''commedia dell'arte'' character types, with one as the titular character set in the foreground. By the early 19th century, ''Pierrot'' belonged to Dominique Vivant, Baron Denon, the first director of the Louvre Museum; it later passed to the Parisian physician Louis La Caze, who had his collection bequeathed to the Louvre in 1869.

Tarucus
''Tarucus'' is a butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae. They are commonly known as blue Pierrots or simply Pierrots. The latter name is often used for the closely related genus ''Castalius''. The delimitation of ''Castalius'' versus ''Tarucus'' is not yet fully resolved, with some species, such as the dark Pierrot (''T. ananda''), having been moved between the two genera repeatedly. It may even be that they are eventually regarded as synonymous, and in that case the older name ''Castalius'' would supersede ''Tarucus'' by the ''Principle of Priority''. Several species formerly in ''Tarucus'' were moved to ''Leptotes'', another closely related lineage (though not quite as close as ''Castalius''). The caterpillars of this genus typically feed on '' Zizyphus'' and are attended by ants. Species The genus can be divided in two distinct groups. These are generally separated geographically, but some taxa (such as the black-spotted Pierrot, ''T. balkanicus nigra''), though assigned t ...

Pierrot Show
A concert party, also called a Pierrot troupe, is the collective name for a group of entertainers, or Pierrots, popular in Britain during the first half of the 20th century. The variety show given by a Pierrot troupe was called a Pierrot show. Concert parties were travelling shows of songs and comedy, often put on at the seaside and opening with a Pierrot number. History In 1891, the singer and banjoist Clifford Essex, inspired by Michel Carré fils' pantomime ''L'enfant prodigue'' (1890), which he had seen at the Prince of Wales' Theatre (of the latter known as the Scala Theatre) in London, resolved to create a troupe of English Pierrot entertainers. Thus began the tradition of seaside Pierrots in pointed hats and black or coloured costumes who sang, danced, juggled, and joked on the piers of Brighton, Margate and Blackpool from the 1890s until the 1950s.See Pertwee. The style of performance attracted artists from music hall and variety theatre. Some performers, such as Nev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
