Why was Florence Ballard fired from The Supremes?
florence ballard was mad because she was push in the back with Mary Wilson. "Over the next two years, Ballard and Gordy argued frequently, particularly as Ross became the group's centerpiece.During the first half of 1967, Gordy decided that he would be changing the group's name to Diana Ross and The Supremes. As the year progressed, Ballard frequently missed public appearances; and sometimes missed recording sessions as well.Ballard's final performance with the group was in late June/early July 1967 during their second engagement at the Flamingo_Hotelin Las_Vegas_Strip. After Ballard unexpectedly stuck out her stomach from between the jacket and pants of her outfit during scripted onstage patter in the first show of the night, Gordy was outraged. He ordered her not to go onstage for the next show and instructed her to take the next plane home to Detroit.In August 1967, the Detroit Free Pressreported that Ballard was taking a temporary leave of absence from the group because of "exhaustion." Ballard's career as a performing Supreme was over." wikipedia florence ballard
Did Michelangelo create a type of art?
Michelangelo (1475-1564) was a sculptor, painter, and architect. He is responsible for creating famous marble sculptures such as the Pieta (1498 - 1499) and David (1501 - 1504). In the life-size marble statue Pieta, Michelangelo shows Mary, the mother of Jesus, mourning her dead son, who lays limp across her lap. The sculpture is now in Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Michelangelo's most famous sculpture is perhaps his massive statue of David. The artist shows David readying to fight the Philistine giant Goliath in order to rescue the Israelites from potential enslavement. The statue was originally designed to be placed along the roofline of Florence's cathedral, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, but its weight made this impossible. A committee decided to place it next to the entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio, where it remained until the nineteenth century. It is now in the Accademia in Florence.As a painter, Michelangelo is famous for painting the ceiling and altar wall of the Sistine Chapel. Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the chapel in 1508, and after four years, the project was complete. The ceiling is comprised of 300 figures and several illustrations of biblical stories. Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Clement VII to paint the altar wall of the chapel, but the pope died before he could see the project through. His successor, Pope Paul III, changed the subject matter to the Last Judgment. Michelangelo began work on the Last Judgment in 1537 and finished it in 1541. The final fresco shows the damnation of the wicked and the salvation of the blessed upon Jesus' return to judge the earth.Finally, Michelangelo is known for being one of the architects of Saint Peter's Basilica and designing the church's iconic dome.
How does Michelangelo's David differ from its fifteenth century predecessors?
Bernini and Michelangelo were two artists that sculpted versions of David. Several differences spring to mind when comparing Bernini's sculpture of David with Michelangelo's. Those would be the period in which they were sculpted, the size of the statues and especially the moment in time that was chosen. In the next few paragraphs I am prepared to elaborate on these differences.The most obvious difference I believe would be the moment in time that both artists chose to represent in carving their Davids. Bernini's David seems to be right in the middle of the battle. He is in the process of using his sling in order to defeat the horrible Goliath. The muscles in his legs are very tight as he is stepping forward. His arms and chest seem to be tensed as if he is in the process of gathering momentum in order to issue a powerful blow with the rock that is about to be hurled from his sling. Also the activity of slinging the stone seems to be pulling David's robe from his body but Bernini chose to capture this action before he is actually exposing any nudity. This statue was carved during the Baroque Era and is typical of this era because it depicts the subject in motion. This "busy" work of art certainly represents ac Another difference that I feel should be mentioned is the fact that Michelangelo's David is well over the normal height of a normal human being as opposed to the life sized statue of Bernini's David. I would say that the first thing you notice when you see this statue is the fact that he is unclothed. To be honest at first glance I didn't know if this David was representing a time before or after the fight. In conclusion I would like to mention that both of these statues are beautiful and awesome in their own right. His posture seems to emanate more of a stress-free confidence. As you observe further you can see that his hair is tussled and laying haphazardly on his head. And even though Bernini didn't go as far as sculpting David's adversary you still get the feeling that he is situated right in front of him. And let's not forget about how this particular David gives you a concept of specific time which is something else introduced by artists in the Baroque Era. The muscles in his legs seem to be more relaxed from the stance he was carved in. In comparison Michelangelo's David seems very still and confident. Bernini's figure seems to exude physical strength and aggression which is exactly what is needed in order to defeat the terrible and mighty Goliath. He seems to be preparing to defeat his adversary with skill and intellect. This was also a time when artists first started really being concerned with keeping their sculptures anatomically correct and in true form to reality. His right arm is lying calmly at his side with that hand holding the stone. This David exudes a quiet and calm right before the battle with Goliath.
