William Waring Cuney (May 6, 1906 – June 30, 1976) was a poet of the Harlem Renaissance. He is best known for his poem "No Images," which has been widely anthologized. William Waring Cuney was one of a pair of twins born on May 6, 1906, in Washington D.C. His father, Norris Wright Cuney II, worked for the federal government. His mother, Madge Louise Baker, taught in the D.C. public school system. Cuney attended the D.C. public schools, graduating from Armstrong High School. He attended Howard University for a time before earning his B.A. at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. He also studied at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and the Conservatory of Music in Rome. In 1926, while Cuney was still a student at Lincoln University, his poem "No Images" won first prize in a competition sponsored by Opportunity magazine. The poem poignantly portrays a black woman's internalization of European standards of beauty. It has been widely anthologized and is considered a minor classic of the New Negro Movement. At Lincoln University, Cuney was a classmate and friend of Langston Hughes. Decades later he co-edited an anthology with Hughes, Lincoln University Poets: Centennial Anthology, 1854–1954 (New York: Fine Editions, 1954). After training for a career in music as a singer along with his brother who was a pianist, Cuney decided he had a poor singing voice and never performed professionally. His writing, however, was very much influenced by his love of music. His poems are strongly rhythmic, often written in ballad form or in original forms reminiscent of blues songs. Many are character sketches of inner-city African Americans. A number of his poems have been set to music and recorded by Josh White, Al Haig, and Nina Simone. His poems were published in journals such as The Crisis and Black World, and in anthologies edited by Countee Cullen, James Weldon Johnson, Sterling Brown, and Arna Bontemps. Although his work was largely forgotten in the United States by the 1950s, it was translated into German and Dutch and developed a following in Europe. He published only two volumes of poetry in his lifetime: Puzzles, a limited edition published in the Netherlands in 1960, and Storefront Church, published in London in 1973. He died in New York City on June 30, 1976 Rudolf Harold (Ru) van Rossem (Amsterdam, 19 maart 1924 – Tilburg, 18 oktober 2007) was een Nederlands beeldhouwer, tekenaar en graficus. Van Rossem werd geboren in Amsterdam en verhuisde als kind met zijn ouders naar Zaandam, waar hij het lyceum bezocht. Hij werd vanaf 1943 opgeleid aan het Rijksinstituut tot Opleiding van tekenleraren in Amsterdam, als leerling van Arend Hendriks en Jan van Tongeren. In de eerste helft van de jaren 50 woonde hij in Engeland, hij gaf er les aan het Great Yarmouth College of Art. Van 1958 tot 1985 was hij docent aan de Tilburgse academie. Leerlingen van hem waren onder anderen Karin Deneer, Hans Innemée, Phil Weterings en Ad Willemen. Als kunstenaar maakte Van Rossem onder meer beelden, (pen)tekeningen, hout- en kopergravures, ex librissen, litho's en decor- en kostuumontwerpen. Hij won de gouden medaille van de Accademia delle belle arti in Parma, de Prijs voor grafiek op de Gorizia Biënnale, de Europäische Kulturpreis en goud bij de Biënnale van Perugia (1972).[3] Hij werd benoemd tot Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw (2003). Van Rossem was onder meer lid van de BBK, 'De Grafische' en de Londense Society of Woodengravers en erelid van de Accademia delle arti del disegno in Florence. (Bron : Wikipedia) |
