_PENDA'S FEN_ is a British television play, written by David Rudkin and directed by Alan Clarke. It was commissioned by BBC producer David Rose, and first broadcast on 21 March 1974 as part of the corporation's _Play for Today_ anthology series.[1]

Plot

Set in the village of Pinvin, near Pershore in Worcestershire, England, against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills, the play is an evocation of conflicting forces within England past and present. These include authority, tradition, hypocrisy, landscape, art, sexuality, and most of all, its mystical, ancient pagan past. All of this comes together in the growing pains of the adolescent Stephen, a vicar's son, whose encounters include angels, Edward Elgar and King Penda himself. The final scene of the play, where the protagonist has an apparitional experience of King Penda and the “mother and father of England”, is set on the Malvern Hills.[2][3]

Cast

-   Spencer Banks as Stephen
-   Jennie Hesselwood
-   Ian Hogg
-   Georgine Anderson
-   John Atkinson
-   Geoffrey Staines as King Penda

Music

Music from Elgar's _The Dream of Gerontius_ features throughout the play. The 1971 Decca recording by Benjamin Britten with Yvonne Minton as the Angel is used, and the album itself features as a prop. Extracts from Elgar's _Introduction and Allegro_ are also heard.

Original music is by Paddy Kingsland of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, who also electronically manipulated parts of the Britten recording.

Reception

Critics have noted that the play stands apart from Clarke's other, more realist output. Clarke himself admitted that he did not fully understand what the story was about.[4] Nonetheless it has gone on to acquire the status of minor classic, to win awards and to be rebroadcast several times by the BBC.

Following the original broadcast, Leonard Buckley wrote in _The Times_: “Make no mistake. We had a major work of television last night. Rudkin gave us something that had beauty, imagination and depth.”[5]

In 2006, _Vertigo_ magazine described _Penda's Fen_ as “One of the great visionary works of English film”.[6]

In 2011, _Penda's Fen_ was chosen by _Time Out_ London magazine as one of the 100 best British films. It described the play as a “multi-layered reading of contemporary society and its personal, social, sexual, psychic and metaphysical fault lines. Fusing Elgar's ‘Dream of Gerontius’ with a heightened socialism of vibrantly localist empathy, and pagan belief systems with pre-Norman histories and a seriously committed – and prescient – ecological awareness, ‘Penda's Fen’ is a unique and important statement.”[7]

The play was released on limited-edition Blu-ray and DVD in May 2016.[8]

"It's time to begin! This is it..." The lyrics pounded in my head as I stuck my head out the window feeling the wind in my hair. I breathed in smelling the world around me. I feel amazing. Brilliant, infinite, every word in the book. This is where I belong, traveling around, seeing the world. I have grabbed my two best friends, Jr and Katie and have set off for adventure. Don't ask me why, I'm still trying to figure that out myself. Jr seems content with doing this, he's always said that he wanted to see what's outside of this town and Katie...well Katie will take any excuse to get out of her hell of a home. Parents arguing, little sisters being manics, the minute I proposed this idea, she was on bored. This was our time. We were ready. And holy shit, we were scared.
It's four weeks after we have left and we have had some major highs and lows. At of this time, we have brought Katie's cousin, Ty along with us. He said he's coming to "protect us," but I know that he just wants out. He's quite the mystery. We started out in California and we're are still in California. It's talking longer than we thought. We have just entered San Fransisco and I'm in Heaven. I love it here. The smell, the sounds, the sights. I knew that going on this trip wasn't a mistake. We were stopping at every thing that seemed interesting and there was a lot. Pier 39, curvy streets, and spy shops. Yes. Spy shops.  Katie and Ty are having the time of their lives. I've never seem Katie hold a smile for that long and Ty just looks like a new person. This really is changing us
Seven weeks in and we're in Colorado. This is when shit really started going down. Jr got sick and couldn't drive so Ty had to take the wheel and Katie started to bicker with Ty and I had to help Jr not puke. (We're in a trailer home.) We were in some random town that I don't even know the name and everyone was feeling the heat. Katie was laying down and Ty came up and started to scream her down for not telling her.
"I can't fucking believe that you didn't tell me! I had to call your mom! How could you keep this from me? Is that why you were so aggravated with me?"
"Ty. Drop it. It's nothing." She responded, with her voice shaking.
"What's nothing?" I said, fearing the answer.
"Katie is doing drugs-"
"I was doing drugs, dumbass!" Katie interrupted him.
"Oh! And she's having withdraw! Isn't that just fucking great!?" Katie looked ashamed and I was just shocked. Katie was such a innocent girl. Always flinching at the word of anything dirty or illegal but here she is doing drugs.
"Um..Umm.." I was stuttering so bad, "We'll deal with it later. We need to get to New York."
"Okay." They both agreed, Katie seeming relieved while Ty still seemed furious. In the back of the trailer I heard Jr yell, "CAN YOU SOME OF BITCHES SHUT UP?" I wasn't sure if he was being serious or just trying to break the tension
Weeks and weeks past. The times we ran out of gas: Too many to count. Times Jr puked: 7. Times I had to pull Ty and Katie apart before they got into a full brawl: 3. But here it was. New York. Throughout all four of our lives, we have wanted to see this city and we were...amazed. Everyone seemed so busy, so important. We seemed so small compared to the skyscrapers. I started to have this anxious feeling in my stomach and I couldn't help but marvel at the crowds of people. It was all so huge. We rolled in and we blasted the music, we pulled our windows down and started to blast, "We are Young" by Fun. We felt amazing. We felt alive. We felt infinite. This was our time and we would fucking make it.

text:
On August 2, six months after Washington initiated the withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty signed by the USSR and the US in 1987, the treaty has been terminated for all parties: the US, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

This means that a key treaty for establishing the regional and global security architecture no longer exists. Under the INF Treaty, the parties eliminated two classes of nuclear armaments: land-based intermediate-range and shorter range missiles. The missile launchers and all the associated support facilities and equipment were also destroyed.

Washington’s withdrawal from the INF Treaty has dealt a great blow to the arms control system, which took decades to build. Far-reaching negative consequences for the entire architecture of global security and strategic stability are inevitable.

The US is entirely to blame for this. It was the American side that buried the INF Treaty by launching and completing the procedure for its unilateral withdrawal, while Russia consistently protected the treaty until the very end. In fact, it is completely incorrect to say that Russia has also withdrawn from the treaty and shares the responsibility, as some foreign officials and several media do.

Russia did everything possible to save the INF Treaty. In recent years, as soon as the US began moving towards the withdrawal from the treaty, we tried many times to start a constructive conversation with the Americans. We proposed a number of initiatives that would have made it possible to resolve the claims from both sides and save the INF Treaty. Russia was transparent beyond the treaty’s provisions.

However, all our efforts were ignored or turned down by Washington. Unfortunately, the US’s true goal was not to keep the INF Treaty but to get rid of the bans and restrictions on the buildup of the US missile potential. The US was purposefully working to untie its hands so that it can use an unlimited range of military tools to exert military pressure on any rival or opponent in the world.

The US deliberately plunged the INF Treaty into a crisis that was almost impossible to overcome in order to cover its actions. Instead of a professional and detailed discussion of the acute issues we were insisting on, they decided to dramatically escalate the situation. A misleading and irresponsible propaganda campaign was launched against us as a smokescreen as Washington tried to distort everything and present the matter as if the US is withdrawing from the Treaty due to Russia’s behaviour.

The US made another awkward attempt to justify its actions on the eve of the treaty termination date. On July 30, a so-called fact sheet with totally facts was published on the Department of State’s website. It was another propagandist-planted lie that has little to do with reality.

The reality is that the US has presented no evidence of Russia violating the INF Treaty over the years of discussing all the treaty-related problems. Nevertheless, the US gave an ultimatum that it would only return to the treaty if Russia completely and verifiably destroyed all the 9M729 missiles allegedly prohibited by the treaty, as well as all the launchers and associated equipment, and agree to future inspections. It is clear that this position is unacceptable for us.

I would like to repeat that the 9M729 land-based cruise missile, the existence of which we have never hidden, was not designed or tested for the prohibited range. Russia has fully complied with the INF Treaty since the day it came into effect. We have refuted all the US’s allegations, which are completely groundless.

In fact, the US never took the necessary actions to address all its violations of the treaty, above all the deployment of Mk 41 launchers that have the capability to launch intermediate-range cruise missiles, which is prohibited by the treaty. There has also been no breakthrough regarding the target missiles the US launches to test their missile defence system but with properties equivalent to those of ballistic intermediate-range missiles, as well as regarding missile drones that fully meet the definition of a “land-based cruise missile.”

Washington began to undermine the INF Treaty long ago and has finally destroyed it. We can see that the US is trying to do away with all the international agreements that do not suit it in some way. The collapse of the INF Treaty, which is similar to the US’s withdrawal from the ABM Treaty in 2002 on the scale of destructive consequences, means that Washington’s dismantling of the existing nuclear missile control system is speeding up.

This dangerous trend is accompanied by US officials’ statements on their readiness to build up nuclear armaments. The uncertainty about the future of the last Russian-US restricting and verifying mechanism in the nuclear arms sphere, the New START that expires in February 2021, also fits this trend.

Of course, in the face of new threats from the US, we will take comprehensive measures to ensure our own security. And, as President of Russia Vladimir Putin said on February 2, Russia will not deploy land-based intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe or other regions unless the US places armaments of the same class there.

We call on the United States to show responsibility and, following Russia’s example, to renounce deploying missiles of these classes, which the Pentagon has been actively discussing. Russia remains open to equitable and constructive dialogue with the United States on the INF Treaty and other issues related to the strategic security based on mutual trust and consideration of each other’s interests. We hope that the United States adopts a responsible approach to this matter. The Russian-US consultations on arms control with an emphasis on nuclear missiles that resumed in Geneva on July 17 must continue.

Thank you for your attention.

I am ready to answer your questions.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about how the US tried to justify its actions?

answer: The text states that, despite Russia's repeated attempts to advance constructive solutions, the US instead presented ultimatums that were unacceptable to Russia. The US sought to use the collapse of the INF Treaty to cover its actions and create a smokescreen, whereas Russia was always transparent concerning its compliance with the treaty. The text also claims that the US never presented any evidence that Russia had violated the INF Treaty, while the US itself has violated the treaty by developing and deploying Mk 41 launchers that are prohibited by the treaty. In conclusion, the text states that the US undermined and eventually destroyed the treaty, while Russia remains committed to meaningful dialogue.

answer: No answer

text: No response is provided and a response needs to be written.

answer: The article claims the US plunged the INF treaty into a crisis that was impossible to overcome in order to justify its actions. They did this instead of have a professional and detailed discussion. They also launched a propaganda campaign against Russia that made it seem the US was withdrawing from the treaty due to Russia's behavior. On the eve of the termination date, the US created and released a supposed fact sheet about the situation, but it was just another lie to justify what they're doing.

text: There is a grammar error in the second sentence of the response that needs to be fixed.

On the eve of the termination date, the US created and released a supposed fact sheet about the situation, but it was just another lie to justify what they're doing.

answer: The US tried to justify its actions by claiming that Russia is also to blame for the termination of the INF Treaty. The text says that this is incorrect. Russia tried to save the treaty and presented initiatives to resolve disputes, but all of these efforts were ignored by the US, which was purposefully working to undermine the treaty. The US presented no evidence that Russia had violated the treaty, yet insisted on conditions that were unacceptable to Russia. The US's goal was not to keep the INF Treaty, but to get rid of the bans and restrictions on the buildup of the US missile potential.

answer: In late July, their was a fact-sheet published by the State Department that was filled with a variety of lies. The document said that the US only withdraws from the INF treaty due to the behavior of Russia. In response to this, Russia said that this was a completely misleading article and does not have any correlation to reality. The US also demanded that Russia agrees that destroys by 2021 without exception. In response to this, Russia rebidavted the allegations and said that they would take the necessary steps to ensure their own security.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about what Washington's withdrawal means?

answer: Washington's withdrawal from the INF Treaty has dealt a great blow to the arms control system, which took decades to build. Seven countries were parties to the treaty and the elimination of two classes of nuclear armaments as well as elimination of the missile launchers and all the associated support facilities and equipment, raised concerns with other countries in terms of security.

answer: The text says that the withdrawal of the US from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty has dealt a great blow to the arms control system and will have far-reaching negative consequences for global security and stability. The US is solely responsible for this withdrawal, while Russia always tried to save the treaty and proposed various solutions, to no avail. The US has refused to consider any evidence against Russia and has instead been looking to create loopholes in order to create new military advantages. With the treaty now terminated, uncertainty looms over the New START Treaty that expires in 2021. Russia intends to take comprehensive measures to protect its own security, and it calls on the US to follow its example and abandon deploying intermediate-range missiles.

answer: Washington's withdrawal from the treaty means a few things according to the article. It means that a key treaty for establishing the regional and global security architecture no longer exists, and that there will be a great blow to the arms control system. The article claims that now there are far-reaching negative consequences for the entire architecture of global security and strategic stability that are inevitable. Russia also claims that the US is doing this so they can use an unlimited range of military tools to exert military pressure against its rivals, and that their dismantling of the existing nuclear missile control system is now speeding up.

answer: The text says that the United States has recklessly thrown the INF Treaty into crisis with no care for its consequences for regional and global security. The result is that this key treaty for establishing the regional and global security architecture no longer exists. The US is entirely to blame for this, and Russia has repeatedly tried to negotiate a resolution to the issues concerned and to save the treaty, but efforts have been ignored by Washington. This dangerous trend does not bode well for the level of global security as there is less and less constraint on nuclear missile capability for all sides. Russia will take necessary measures to ensure its own security, but is open to dialogue and cooperation with the US.

answer: It means that a key treaty for establishing the regional and global security architecture no longer exists. The withdrawal has dealt a great blow to the arms control system that is the result of the treaty, and the procedures put in place to do away with it. Because of this other key treaties are undermined and will come to an end soon.

text: While this response does include some accurate information, it can be written with more focus on exactly what Washington's withdrawal led too. There are some more details that can be used from the passage to make this response stronger.

answer: No answer

text: There is no response provided to the question ask. An appropriate response needs to be created.

refinement: According to the text, Russia will take measures to ensure its own security in light of new threats from the US. These measures include refuting all US allegations as groundless and refusing the US's demand to destroy all 9M729 missiles allegedly prohibited by the treaty. Russia remains open to dialogue with the US based on mutual trust and consideration of each other's interests. Despite the treaty's collapse, the Russian-US consultation on arms control must continue.

Despite the treaty's collapse, the Russian-US consultation on arms control must continue.

answer: The text says that as a result of the termination of the INF Treaty, Russia will take comprehensive measures to ensure its own security. Russia does not intend to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe if the US does not deploy the same arms class in the same region. Russia remains open to dialogue with the US on arms control and hopes that the U.S. adopts a responsible approach.

answer: Russia says they refute all of US's allegations. The article claims Russia will be taking comprehensive measures to ensure their own security. They will not be deploying land-based intermediate-range and shorter range missiles in other region sunless the US places armaments of the same class there. In response to the threats, they make it clear they remain open to constructive dialogue with the US over the treaty and other issues. They also call on the US to show responsibility, and renounce deploying missiles of the classes they listed.

answer: Russia will closely monitor US military activities. They also plan to use nuclear arms if they are placed in Europe or other regions.

text: This response is vague, it needs to include more details from the original passage to properly answer the question.

refinement: According to the text, Russia will take measures to ensure its own security in light of new threats from the US. These measures include refuting all US allegations as groundless and refusing the US's demand to destroy all 9M729 missiles allegedly prohibited by the treaty. Russia remains open to dialogue with the US based on mutual trust and consideration of each other's interests. Despite the treaty's collapse, the Russian-US consultation on arms control must continue.

BETTY HALL JONES (January 11, 1911 – April 20, 2009),[1] was an American boogie-woogie pianist, singer, songwriter and arranger.

Biography

She was born Cordell Elizabeth Bigbee in Topeka, Kansas. Archie Bigbee,[2] her father, was a part-time cornetist and leader of a brass band. Music ran through her family. She learned piano from her uncle in California, where she was raised after her family moved there in 1921. She learned piano, starting at the age of five, going through her first year of college. A Las Vegas Columnist once described Betty Hall Jones as a “tiny 70-year-old black songstress-pianist who tore up the joint.”[3]

Around 1927, she married a banjoist, George Hall, and then had two children but divorced after a few years. In 1936, as Betty Hall, she got a job as a backup pianist for Buster Moten in Kansas City. She returned to Los Angeles to play with Roy Milton from 1937 through 1941, then joined Luke Jones' trio, with whom she recorded. Additionally, she was also the colluder of the Satin Dolls, a group of musicians, Dixieland.[4] She married Jasper Jones in the early part of the decade, taking the name Betty Hall Jones. By 1942 she had joined Paul Howard's Quality Serenaders as pianist and arranger, but also led her own Betty Hall Jones Trio in clubs and hotels, mostly in southern California where she was raising her children.[5] Her family did not approve of the type of music that she was involved in.[6] She died in Torrance, California, in 2009, aged 98.[7]

Career

In 1946 she wrote songs recorded by Alton Redd's band, and, with Luke Jones, recorded with Joe Alexander's Highlanders on the Atlas label. She also recorded under her own name in 1947 for Atomic Records, leading a group that included Jones and, on some recordings, saxophonist Maxwell Davis. She signed for Capitol Records in 1949, and released a string of singles on the label including “This Joint's Too Hip For Me”, probably her best-known recording. As a writer, her songs were recorded by Ray Charles (“Ain't That Fine”) and Nellie Lutcher (“My New Papa's Got To Have Everything”). However, her own recordings were not chart hits. She left the Capitol label the following year, but continued to perform widely, and recorded for the Dootone and Combo labels in the early 1950s. She worked at the Hotel Sorrento in Seattle, Washington, for seven years, and became noted for the flamboyant hats which she wore while performing, switching from one to another between songs.[8] Betty performed a large number of shows for charity. She performed charity shows for the USO and routinely performed for nursing homes.[9]

A compilation of her recordings, _The Complete Recordings 1947-1954_, was issued in 2005.[10]

She was the mother of two children, and married, then divorced, George Hal.[11] She professed to admire Mary Lou Williams, Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Fats Waller, Pete Johnson, and Duke Ellington as influences and peers.[12]

Tours

In the 1960s and 1970s she did USO tours in East Asia and toured Australia and Mexico in addition to regular dates in nightclubs on Sunset Boulevard. She toured Sweden and England in the 1980s, and continued performing into the 1990s despite illness.[13] In the 1950s she extended her itinerary from Canada to the Southwest.[14]

She performed a number of tours in East Asia, Australia, Mexico, and the US in the 1960s and 1970s.

text: This response is incorrect for the majority of it because it discusses life events in Jones life that happened after the 1920s.

answer: Betty Hall Jones presumably started learning the piano from her uncle in 1920, seeing as she moved to California in 1921. Additionally, she married a banjoist in 1927, but they divorced after a few years. Her year of birth is also in this range.

Tata Motors' small car Nanois inching closer towards the end of its journey with just one unit produced in June, although the company maintained that no decision has been taken yet on stopping its production.

The entry level car, brainchild of Ratan Tatawho envisaged giving a safer and affordable alternative to families riding on two-wheelers, sold just three units last month in the domestic market.

In a regulatory filing, Tata Motors said there was no export of Nanoin June this year. It had shipped 25 units in the same month last year.

In terms of production, only one unit was produced last month as against 275 units in June 2017.

Domestic sales were at three units in June as against 167 units in the year-ago month.

When contacted for comments on whether the company has taken a decision to stop Nanoproduction, a Tata Motors spokesperson said, "We are well aware that the Nano in its present form cannot continue beyond 2019 and may need fresh investments to survive. No decision has been made yet in this regard."

The spokesperson further said, "Meanwhile, we continue to produce Nano catering to customer demand in key markets."

Nano, which was unveiled in January 2008 at the Auto Expo with much expectations of being the people's car, could not live up to the billing.

The car was launched in the market in March 2009 with an initial price of close to Rs 100,000 for the basic model despite cost escalations, with Ratan Tatainsisting that "a promise is a promise".

However, from the beginning, Nano courted trouble. It was originally planned to be rolled out from Tata Motors' proposed plant at Singur in West Bengal, where it faced intense political and farmer protests against land acquisition.

The company had to shift its production to a new plant at Sanand in Gujarat.

Instances of the car catching fire initially after it was launched didn't help its cause either.

Ratan Tatahad admitted that the company made the mistake of promoting the Nano as 'the cheapest car'.

It become a loss-making model for Tata Motors with ex-Tata Sonschairman Mistry, who was abruptly removed from the post, even went on to claim that the Nano "consistently lost value, peaking at Rs 10 billion".

Mistryalso termed the Nano as one of the "legacy hotspots" and there was "no line of sight to profitability for the Nano, any turnaround strategy".

He had also claimed that Tata Motors did not stop producing the car due to "emotional reasons".

answer:
Tata Motors' Nano is inching closer towards end of its journey. Hi production is down.

Ratan Tata envisaged the Nano to be the a safer and affordable alternative to families riding on two-wheelers.

Recent ratings and production figures indicate that the Nano is headed for an early obituary.

However, a spokesperson for the company says, "We are well aware that the Nano in its current form cannot continue beyond 2019 and may need fresh investments to survive. No decision has been yet in this regard."

Ratan Tata believes that Nano lost value, peaking at Rs 10 billion. He said that the loss-making car was consistent. He's not ashamed to call it one of the company's "legacy hotspots" and there is no line of sight to profitability with Nano's turnaround.

The fact is Tata needed Nano to fail because it was contrived in such a way that it became a money pit from the start.

answer: Tata Motors' small car, Nano, produced its one unit in June this year, and has sold three units so far this year. Despite Ratan Tata's promises, the car is struggling to find footing in the market and has seen a steep decline in production and sales.

The fact is Tata needed Nano to fail because it was contrived in such a way that it became a money pit from the start.

answer:
Tata Motors launched the affordable Nano in March 2009. But the car hasn't been doing so well recently. Only one unit was produced last month against 275 units in June 2017. A spokesperson said that the company is well aware of the situation but has not made any decisions regarding shutting the production.

Nano has been in trouble from the very beginning. First, they had to shift their production facility. That was followed by the car initially catching fire.

The ex-chairman of Tata Motors claims that the company did not stop the production due to "emotional reasons."

answer: The small car Nano produced by Tata Motors only produced one unit in the domestic market this June despite having sold three units the year before. The company has maintained that the Nano may need fresh investments to survive but no decision has been taken yet on whether to stop production. The Nano was originally launched with high expectations, but has consistently failed to meet its mark.

answer:
While Tata Motors Product Line Manager Adrian M. Lorent spoke at an automotive summit in India, Nano, which was unveiled in 2008 with much expectations of being the people's car cannot live up to the billing. Only one unit was produced last month in the domestic market in contrast to to last year's 275 units. Only three units were sold in the domestic market in contrast to last year's 167 units. Propelling the Nano's low sales is the car's anti-social history. Instances of the car catching fire after it was launched did not help its case.

Ratan Tata plans to continue to produce the Nano and look at its future beyond 2020. Wile the company is well aware that the Nano is ending in 2019 and will require fresh capital for its continuation, no decision of stopping its production has been made.

NICOLAS CARONE (June 4, 1917 – July 15, 2010) belonged to the early generation of New York School Abstract Expressionist artists. Their artistic innovation by the 1950s had been recognized internationally, including in London and Paris. New York School Abstract Expressionism, represented by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Conrad Marca-Relli and others, became a leading art movement of the postwar era.

Biography

Carone was born June 4, 1917 into an Italian-American family in New York City. They moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, where he grew up. He began formal art studies at the age of eleven at the Leonardo da Vinci School located at St. Mark's Church on E. 10th St. He studied at the National Academy of Design under Leon Kroll, Art Students League of New York, Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, and the Rome Academy of Fine Arts.

In 1941 he won the Rome Prize and in 1949 a Fulbright Fellowship. Both gave him an opportunity to study art in Italy. During his time in Italy after World War II, he came into personal contact with important Italian painters, particularly Giorgio Morandi.

After returning to the US, Carone continued to paint and exhibited works in the 9th Street Art Exhibition in 1951. Along with other first generation abstract expressionists, he also showed his work at the Stable Gallery.[1] Carone was a part of the Abstract Expressionist movement, which relied heavily on Surrealism, poetry, and interpretations of Jungian psychology. He was a good friend of Jackson Pollock, a noted abstract painter. He was later interviewed by authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith for their biography, _Jackson Pollock: An American Saga_.

Nicolas Carone's work is in the collections of museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Mobile Museum of Art. Recent exhibits of his work were held at the Washburn Gallery in New York City from February 2 to March 31, 2012,[2] and the Watson MacRae Gallery in South Florida from March 2 to April 3, 2010.[3] His work was exhibited by a number of galleries, including at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery, Frumkin Gallery, Stable Gallery, and Staempfli Gallery.[4]

Carone taught at universities including Yale University, Columbia University, Brandeis University, Cornell University, Cooper Union, School of Visual Arts, and Skowhegan School. He was a founding faculty member of the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, where he taught for 25 years. In 1988 he founded the International School of Art, located first in Todi, Italy and then in Nearby Montecastello. Carone was consulted by dealers, collectors and film makers regarding his expertise on Arshile Gorky and Pollock, including for the films _Pollock_, starring Ed Harris, and _Who the *$&% Is Jackson Pollock?_[5]

He died July 15, 2010 at the age of 93.[6][7][8]
