Aleksandr Borodin was born on November 12, 1833 in St. Petersburg,
Russia. He was in fact the illegitimate son of the Georgian Prince,
Lukas Gedevanishvili, who registered his son under the name of his serf
and payed for Borodin's private education in music, languages and
sciences.
Young Borodin grew up becoming fluent in German, French and English,
besides his native Russian. He later learned Italian and was able to
write a technical essay in that language. Borodin studied at the St.
Petersburg Medical-Surgical Academy from 1850-1856 and graduated with
honours as a Medical Doctor. He also earned a doctorate in organic
chemistry with his dissertation "On the analogy of arsenic acid with
phosphoric acid in chemical and toxicological behaviour." Borodin
carried advanced research on aldehydes. In 1872, Borodin discovered the
"Aldol-reaction/condensation". He also worked on the chemistry of
mineral waters and researched their medicinal properties.
In 1859-63 Borodin lived in Western Europe, where he studied medicine
and chemistry and also attended the concerts of Franz Liszt, who became
Borodin's friend and admirer of his music. Back in Russia, Borodin
continued his music studies as a weekend hobby. He often played piano
and flute with his friends, the composers of "The Mighty Handful",
which included Mily Balakirev, Cesar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Borodin
was a frequent traveller because of his scientific research and
invitations from various research centres and Universities. His tone
poem for symphony orchestra "In the Steppes of Central Asia" was
composed on his impressions from travels.
Borodin started the work on his first symphony in 1862, under the
tutelage of Mily Balakirev and completed the work by 1869, when it was
premiered under the baton of Mily Balakirev. In 1869, Borodin started
on his Symphony No.2 which was premiered in 1877, but Borodin made
upgrades to its orchestration for the triumphal performance in 1879
under the direction of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. His lengthy work on each one of his
symphonies was caused by Borodin's preoccupation with his second opera
"Prince Igor", which became his most important work. Borodin was
working on this masterpiece from 1869 to his death in 1877. It contains
the famous choral "Polovetsian Dances" which was borrowed for the
popular song "Stranger in Paradise" and was also used in many films.
In 1877, Borodin went to Weimar where Franz Liszt worked as a Muskmaster.
Though Borodin's European trips were made for the business of his
scientific research, Franz Liszt, being a personal friend of Borodin, made
arrangements for his Symphony No. 1 to be performed for the first time
outside Russia. In Italy, Borodin became engaged and lived with
Ekaterina Protopopova, whom he married upon their return to St.
Petersburg, Russia. Borodin composed many romantic songs for voice and
piano accompaniment, dedicated to his beloved wife, Ekaterina. Some of
those romances were composed to the poems by Nikolai A. Nekrasov. Borodin's
romances became a staple in the repertoire of many classical vocalists.
Borodin's strong and lyrical String Quartet No.2 in D Major stands out
in that genre. It is an intellectual conversation between the four
musical instruments, each having a special character, and each shows
its development through their delicious harmonic interplay. The popular
"Nocturne" movement from this quartet is arguably one of the most
lyrical melodies in all music.
Borodin's contribution to science and culture could be even more
significant. He left a number of unfinished works, the Symphony No. 3
and a five-part opera on stories from Russian fairy tales. He died on
February 27, 1887 during a party in St. Petersburg and was laid to rest
at the St. Alexander Nevsky Monastery in St. Petersburg,
Russia.- Writer

Auguste Rodin was a prominent French sculptor best known for "The
Thinker."
He was born Francois-Auguste-Rene Rodin, on November 12, 1840, in
Paris, France. His father, Jean-Baptiste Rodin, was a detective in the
Paris police department. His mother, Marie Cheffer, was a former
seamstress. Rodin was somewhat shy and nearsighted from an early age.
Young Rodin started serious drawing lessons at the age of 10. From the
age of 14 he studied art at the École Impériale de Dessin, a government
school for craft and design (also called "la Petite École", or "Small
School") in Paris. There he discovered sculpture and acquired a
thorough grounding in the tradition of French 18th-century art. Rodin
also studied anatomy under the tutelage of sculptor Antoine-Louis
Barye. In 1858 he left "la Petite Ecole" and sought admission to study
at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts; he applied three times but was rejected
each time. So, instead of a formal education, Rodin served a long and
difficult apprenticeship under Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, a highly
successful sculptor, for whom Rodin started as a modeler, then became
an assistant. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 he followed
his teacher to Belgium. There he became a partner of Antoine Van
Raspbourgh and worked on monumental allegorical sculptures for the
Brussels Bourse.
Rodin considered "Man with the Broken Nose" to be his earliest major
work. Much to his disappointment, the Salon rejected the work twice, in
1864 and 1865. While in Brussels Rodin made a number of decorative
female figures in terra cotta, to which he began to sign his name. In
1875 he made a trip to Italy. where he studied the works of
Michelangelo. In 1876 Rodin created "The Bronze Age" and exhibited it
in Brussels and at the Salon des artistes Francais in Paris. He was
falsely accused by critics of having cast the entire statue from a live
model. The French government bought "The Bronze Age" and a bronze model
of St. John the Baptist. From 1879-1882 Rodin worked at the Manufacture
de Sevres. In 1884 the city council of Calais commissioned a monument
that became "The Burghers of Calais". In 1888 the French government
commissioned "The Kiss" in marble for the Universal exhibition of 1889.
Rodin became the founding member of the Société Nationale des
Beaux-Arts. At that time he exhibited with
Claude Monet. In the 1890s he created
monuments to Claude Le Lorrain,
Victor Hugo and
Honoré de Balzac, and also worked on
other commissions. In 1892 Rodin was promoted to Officer of the Légion
d'Honneur. In 1899 the large-scale "Eve" was shown at the Salon. In
1903 Rodin was appointed Commander of the Légion d'Honnoeur.
In 1864 Rodin met a seamstress, Rose Beuret. They had a son, named
Auguste-Eugene Beret, who was born in 1866. Rose became the model for
many of his works. She and Rodin remained lifetime companions and
formally married in 1917, the year they both died. Rodin had another
relationship with a student named Camille Claudel, who was 25 years
younger than him. She became his mistress at the age of 18, and
inspired Rodin as a model for his several sculptures of passionate love
couples. Camille was also a talented pupil; she worked for Rodin and
assisted him during his four-year work on the bronze group "Les
Bourgeois de Calais" ("The Burghers of Calais", 1884-1888).
Unfortunately, her mental problems brought tragic complexity in Rodin's
life (she was eventually committed to a mental asylum). He remained
attached to Rose, who patiently endured his other affairs. In 1903 he
met an English painter, Gwendolen Mary John, and she became his
mistress and was his model for "The Whistler Muse". In 1904 Rodin met
the American-born Duchess Claire de Choiseul, who dominated his life
until 1912. His complex relationships found reflection in his works:
"Eternal Spring", "The Poet and Love", "The Genius and Pity", "The
Sculptor and his Muse".
Rodin preferred to sketch the natural spontaneity of amateur models,
street acrobats, athletes and dancers. He worked with the freely moving
models instead of copying traditional academic postures. From freely
walking models Rodin would make quick sketches in clay, which he later
reworked and fine-tuned, then cast in plaster and forged into bronze. A
large staff of pupils, craftsmen and stonecutters were working for him,
including Bourdelle. Rodin's method of evolutionary development of his
initial idea into a masterpiece was demonstrated by creation of "The
Kiss" and "The Thinker", which were derived from smaller reliefs within
"The Gates of Hell", a work he was commissioned to create in 1880 for a
museum in Paris. For that project he made a palm-size sketch of "The
Kiss" and a first small plaster version of "The Thinker" as a figure of
the poet Dante Alighieri. "The Kiss" was
completed in marble in 1889. By that time he had exhibited a mid-size
version of "The Thinker", which was cast in bronze in the 1890s.
Meanwhile, Rodin made countless variations of "The Thinker" by subtle
alterations to its pose and expression until he achieved the desired
result with one of the bigger versions.
In the course of 20 years Rodin was taking lengthy breaks in order to
refresh his view of the work. At the same time he also became more
experienced as an artist and a man. He gradually developed the initial
palm-size sketch into the final life-size sculpture by 1901. The first
large-scale bronze cast was completed in 1902, by A. A. Hebrard, but
was rejected by Rodin. Rodin also made another enlarged version of "The
Thinker" in 1904. Bronze casts were not made by Rodin himself but by a
professional reducteur, Henri Lebosse, under Rodin's supervision.
Finally Rodin turned to foundry owner Alexis Rudier, who made the 1904
bronze cast; it was unveiled to the public at the Paris Salon in 1904.
Rodin was somewhat satisfied with Rudier's foundry and approved several
subsequent casts.
Rodin's works are distinguished by their lifelike energy and realism.
His art embraced all aspects of humanity, ranging from distress and
moral weakness to the heights of passion and beauty. Rodin's most
famous bronze sculpture, "The Thinker", was originally named "The Poet"
as a depiction of Dante Alighieri in front of the Gates of Hell. "The
Thinker" was an achievement of a special harmony in showing premiere
human qualities: heroic, poetic and intellectual. It was recast in over
20 copies for major museums, and was also reproduced in millions of
smaller versions and became one of the most recognizable icons of art.
Rodin's masterpieces--"The Age of Bronze", "The Burghers of Calais",
"Eve", "The Kiss" and "The Thinker"--are among the most celebrated
works of art in the world.
From 1908-1917 Rodin lived at the Hotel Biron in Paris. There his
neighbors included artist Henri Matisse,
writer Jean Cocteau and dancer
Isadora Duncan. In 1912 the French
government scheduled the Hotel Breton for demolition and ordered the
tenants to vacate. Rodin persuaded the government to allow him to stay.
As an exchange, in 1916 Rodin gave his entire collection of art to
France on the condition that the state maintain the Musée Rodin. The
collection contains Rodin's most significant works, including "The
Thinker", "The Kiss", "The Gates of Hell" and "The Burghers of Calais"
in the front garden. Rodin's living rooms are decorated with paintings
by Vincent van Gogh,
Claude Monet, and
Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired.
Rodin's own works and other art objects are still placed as Rodin set
them.
Auguste Rodin enjoyed friendships with some of the most important
writers and artists of the day, such as Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne,
Émile Zola,
Robert Louis Stevenson
and George Bernard Shaw. Rodin died
on November 17, 1917, in Mendon, France, and was laid to rest beside
Rose Beuret in the Cemetery of Mendon, Ile-de-France. A bronze cast of
"The Thinker" was placed at the base of his tomb.- Jenõ Rákosi was born on 12 November 1842 in Acsád, Hungary. Jenõ is known for Tévedések vígjátéka, avagy Tévedések víg játéka (1988). Jenõ died on 8 February 1929 in Budapest, Hungary.

- English novelist and poet John Oxenham was born William Arthur
Dunkerley in Manchester, England, in 1852. His entry into the literary
world was not as a writer but as a publisher; with several partners he
started the publication "The Idler", and later on the weekly "To-Day".
He traveled extensively in Europe, Canada and the US as part of his
publishing duties, but eventually decided he wanted to be a writer more
than he did a publisher, and in 1913 he finished "Bees in Amber".
However, his publisher would not spend a penny promoting it, and even
asked that he limit the book to no more than 200 copies, as they knew
they could not sell that many. He eventually printed the book at his
own expense; it wound up selling almost 300,000 copies. During World
War I he self-published several volumes of poetry, and together they
sold over a million copies. He also wrote a song called "Hymn for the
Men at the Front" that eventually sold more than 8,000,000 copies.
Altogether he has published more than 40 novels, poetry books and
essays.

One of the first black superstars of popular entertainment, Egbert
Austin Williams, although born in the Bahamas, was raised largely in
California. Nursing show business aspirations early on, he teamed with
boyhood friend George Walker to form a highly successful vaudeville
act, which continued until the ravages of syphilis brought about
Walker's retirement and premature death in 1909. Two years later,
Williams joined the Ziegfeld Follies and experienced perhaps his
greatest fame as one of its' star comedians until his death. Although
he played the (then) typical stereotype of the slow-witted,
dialect-spouting black, and had to wear burnt cork to disguise his true
ethnicity, he still managed to project an elan and style that was all
his own, gently mocking the various stereotypes even as he was playing
them. His recordings on American Columbia records were best-sellers in
their time. An intelligent, articulate man privately, he was bitterly
disappointed in a society that could applaud him onstage, yet still
treat him like a second-class citizen off stage. Although he lived at
one of the city's top hotels during his years in New York, he always
had to ride the service elevator to his suite rather than come in by
the main entrance. Ill health in his last years, primarily hypertension
and lung trouble, brought about his early death at the age of only 47,
while he was still a headliner. Long and happily married, he and his
wife had no children but raised a niece and nephew.- Actor
