In the Chicago of 1893, the Mayor was elected to a 2-year term and received a salary of $7,000. A section of the act called for a naval review in New York harbor in 1893 and invited foreign nations to send warships to join the U.

This does not do justice to the muckraker's particular goals. Anthropometry had limited results, however, if only because the overriding aim of colonial administration was to recognize groups of people and institute a cost-effective distance to them, not to establish a bodily intimacy. http://www.h-net.org/~africa/africaforum/Landau.html   (6462 words)      Encyclopedia: 1893 See also: 1892 in art, other events of 1893, 1894 in art, list of years in art, List_of_art_events.

Miller/Museum of Modern Art (1905-present.) All three sought to reinstate American art as a vital part of American culture and society.

Many artists and art teachers whose instincts for the good life were offended and often directly thwarted by the disorganization, the dirt and clutter, of twentieth-century urban life looked toward art--the art of the past --as a mode of spiritual release from the torments of the present. Art, they believe, must be of its day, expressive of the life being lived, and, one might hope, partly improving the conditions of life. http://www.noteaccess.com/APPROACHES/ArtEd/History/Logan/1900-1920Modernists.htm   (2170 words)      camille pissarro artwork Artwork & Posters : Buy the Best Products at Bargain Prices : Shopzilla Camille Pissarro Prints - Rue de L'Epicerie, Rouen, on a Sunny Afternoon, 1893 Rue de L'Epicerie, Rouen, on a Sunny Afternoon, 1893 Print available...
