Toby Brown The majority of Toby Brown work is based around a feeling or emotion…but there is also an element of how the artist’s interpretation of a line or verse from a song. His work starts it’s journey through closed eyes, listening to music. Lyrics and the feel of a song take Tony’s mind to a place of images and colour. Listening to music takes him into a dream like state, where nothing is as it been told that his singular style is very similar to that of an airbrush although appears to be, the eyes do not focus Tony doesn’t paint as such…more like and an image or an idea appear and scrubbing the paint onto the canvas and disappear within a split second. building up the tones and shades that Through the medium of sound an image is born.

Marc Chagall 6 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian-French artist.21 Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic medium, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints. According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN, and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris OpÊra.
Before World War I, he traveled between St. Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern European Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922. He had two basic reputations, writes Lewis: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk. "When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".

Early life Chagall's Parents Marc Chagall was born Moishe Segal in a Lithuanian Jewish family in Liozna,near the city of Vitebsk (Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire) in 1887. At the time of his birth, Vitebsk's population was about 66,000, with half the population being Jewish. A picturesque city of churches and synagogues, it was called "Russian Toledo", after a cosmopolitan city of the former Spanish Empire. As the city was built mostly of wood, little of it survived years of occupation and destruction during World War II. Chagall was the eldest of nine children. The family name, Shagal, is a variant of the name Segal, which in a Jewish community was usually borne by a Levitic family. His father, Khatskl (Zachar) Shagal, was employed by a herring merchant, and his mother, FeigeIte, sold groceries from their home. His father worked hard, carrying heavy barrels but earning only 20 roubles each month (the average wages across the Russian Empire being 13 roubles a month). Chagall would later include fish
motifs "out of respect for his father", writes Chagall biographer, Jacob Baal-Teshuva. Chagall wrote of these early years:
Day after day, winter and summer, at six o'clock in the morning, my father got up and went off to the synagogue. There he said his usual prayer for some dead man or other. On his return he made ready the samovar, drank some tea and went to work. Hellish work, the work of a galley-slave. Why try to hide it? How tell about it? No word will ever ease my father's lot... There was always plenty of butter and cheese on our table. Buttered bread, like an eternal symbol, was never out of my childish hands.
One of the main sources of income Kabbalah. Chagall scholar Susan of the Jewish population of the Goodman describes the links and town was from the manufacture of sources of his art to his early home: clothing that was sold throughout Russia. They also made furniture Chagall's art can be understood as and various agricultural tools. From the response to a situation that has the late 18th century to the First long marked the history of Russian World War, the Russian Jews. Though they were cultural government confined Jews to living innovators who made important within the Pale of Settlement, contributions to the broader which included modern Ukraine, society, Jews were considered Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, and outsiders in a frequently hostile Latvia, almost exactly society... Chagall himself was born corresponding to the territory of of a family steeped in religious life; the Polish-Lithuanian his parents were observant Hasidic Commonwealth recently taken Jews who found spiritual over by Imperial Russia. This satisfaction in a life defined by their caused the creation of Jewish faith and organized by prayer. market-villages (shtetls) through Chagall was friends with Sholom out today's Eastern Europe, with Dovber Schneerson, and later with their own markets, schools, Menachem M. Schneerson. hospitals, and other community institutions. Most of what is known about Chagall's early life has come from his autobiography, My Life. In it, he described the major influence that the culture of Hasidic Judaism had on his life as an artist. Vitebsk itself had been a center of that culture dating from the 1730s with its teachings derived from the
Art education A turning point of his artistic life Portrait of Chagall by Yehuda (Yuri) came when he first noticed a fellow Pen, his first art teacher in Vitebsk student drawing. Baal-Teshuva In Russia at that time, Jewish writes that for the young Chagall, children were not allowed to attendwatching someone draw "was like a regular Russian schools or vision, a revelation in black and universities. Their movement white". Chagall would later say that within the city was also restricted. there was no art of any kind in his Chagall therefore received his family's home and the concept was primary education at the local totally alien to him. When Chagall Jewish religious school, where he asked the schoolmate how he studied Hebrew and the Bible. At learned to draw, his friend replied, the age of 13, his mother tried to "Go and find a book in the library, enroll him in a Russian high school, idiot, choose any picture you like, and he recalled, "But in that school, and just copy it". He soon began they don't take Jews.

For Philadelphia Chagall, this was also his means of "self-assertion and an expression of principle."
Chagall biographer Franz Meyer, explains that with the connections between his art and early life "the hassidic spirit is still the basis and source of nourishment for his art."Lewis adds, "As cosmopolitan an artist as he would later become, his storehouse of visual imagery would never expand beyond the landscape of his childhood, with its snowy streets, wooden houses, and ubiquitous fiddlers... scenes of childhood so indelibly in one's mind and to invest them with an emotional charge so intense that it could only be discharged obliquely through an obsessive repetition of the same cryptic symbols and ideograms... " Years later, at the age of 57 while living in the United States, Chagall confirmed this when he published an open letter entitled, "To My City Vitebsk": Why? Why did I leave you many years ago? ... You thought, the boy seeks something, seeks such a special subtlety, that color descending like stars from the sky and landing, bright and transparent, like snow on our roofs.
Where did he get it? How would it come to a boy like him? I don't know why he couldn't find it with us, in the city—in his homeland. Maybe the boy is "crazy", but "crazy" for the sake of art. ...You thought: "I can see, I am etched in the boy's heart, but he is still 'flying,' he is still striving to take off, he has 'wind' in his head." ... I did not live with you, but I didn't have one single painting that didn't breathe with your spirit and reflection.

Born in Nishapur, in northeastern Iran also known as Persia, at a 16 young age he moved to Samarkand
Outside Iran and Persian-speaking countries, Khayyám has had an impact on literature and societies through the translation of his works and popularization by other scholars. The greatest such impact was in English-speaking countries; the English scholar Thomas Hyde (1636– 1703) was the first non-Persian to study him. The most influential of all was Edward FitzGerald (1809–83), who made Khayyám the most famous poet of the East in the West through his celebrated translation and adaptations of Khayyám's rather small number of quatrains (Persian: رباعیاتrubāʿiyāt) in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Omar Khayyám died in 1131 and is buried in the Khayyám Garden in Nishapur. The reconstruction of the tombs of Persian icons like Hafez, Saadi, Attar, Poor sina and others were built by Reza Shah and in 1963, the Mausoleum of Omar Khayyám was reconstructed on the site by Houshang Seyhoun
Early life Ghiyāth ad-Din Abu'l-Fat'h 'Umar ibn Ibrāhīm al-Khayyām Nīshāpūrī was born in Nishapur, in Iran, then a Seljuq capital in Khorasan, which rivaled Cairo or Baghdad in cultural prominence in that era. He is thought to have been born into a family of tent-makers (khayyāmī "tent-maker"), which he would make into a play on words later in life: Khayyám, who stitched the tents of science, Has fallen in grief's furnace and been suddenly burned, The shears of Fate have cut the tent ropes of his life, And the broker of Hope has sold him for nothing! — Omar Khayyám He spent part of his childhood in the town of Balkh (in present-day northern Afghanistan), studying under the well-known scholar Sheikh Muhammad Mansuri. He later studied under Imam Mowaffaq Nishapuri, who was considered one of the greatest teachers of the Khorasan region. Throughout his life, Omar Khayyám was tireless in his efforts; by day he
would teach algebra and geometry, in the evening he would attend the Seljuq court as an adviser of MalikShah I,[9] and at night he would study astronomy and complete important aspects of the Jalali calendar. Omar Khayyám's years in Isfahan were very productive ones, but after the death of the Seljuq Sultan Malik-Shah I (presumably by the Assassins sect), the Sultan's widow turned against him as an adviser, and as a result, he soon set out on his Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. He was then allowed to work as a court astrologer, and was permitted to return to Nishapur, where he was renowned for his works, and continued to teach mathematics, astronomy and even medicine.
Mathematician Khayyรกm was famous during his times as a mathematician. He wrote the influential Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra (1070), which laid down the principles of algebra, part of the body of Mathematics that was eventually transmitted to Europe. In particular, he derived general methods for solving cubic equations and even some higher orders. "Cubic equation and intersection of conic sections" the first page of two-chaptered manuscript kept in Tehran University In the Treatise, he wrote on the triangular array of binomial coefficients known as Pascal's triangle. In 1077, Khayyรกm wrote Sharh ma ashkala min musadarat kitab Uqlidis (Explanations of the Difficulties in the Postulates of Euclid) published in English as "On the Difficulties of Euclid's Definitions". An important part of the book is concerned with Euclid's famous parallel postulate, which attracted the interest of Thabit ibn Qurra. Al-Haytham had previously attempted a demonstration of the postulate; Khayyรกm's attempt was a
distinct advance, and his criticisms made their way to Europe, and may have contributed to the eventual development of non-Euclidean geometry. Omar Khayyรกm created important works on geometry, specifically on the theory of proportions. His notable contemporary mathematicians included Al-Khazini and Abu Hatim al-Muzaffar ibn Ismail al-Isfizari
Theory of parallels See also: History of non-Euclidean geometry and Parallel postulate At the Tomb of Omar Khayyam, by Jay Hambidge Khayyรกm wrote a book entitled Explanations of the difficulties in the postulates in Euclid's Elements. The book consists of several sections on the parallel postulate , on the Euclidean definition of ratios and the Anthyphairetic ratio (modern continued fractions) , and on the multiplication of ratios
The first section is a treatise mathematicians to prove the containing some propositions and proposition. And he, as Aristotle, lemmas concerning the parallel refuses the use of motion in postulate. It has reached the geometry and therefore dismisses Western world from a reproduction the different attempt by Ibn in a manuscript written in 1387-88 Haytham too. In a sense he made AD by the Persian mathematician the first attempt at formulating a Tusi. Tusi mentions explicitly that non-Euclidean postulate as an he re-writes the treatise "in alternative to the parallel postulate, Khayyรกm's own words" and quotes Khayyรกm, saying that "they are worth adding to Euclid's Elements after Proposition 28."This proposition states a condition enough for having two lines in plane parallel to one another. After this proposition follows another, numbered 29, which is converse to the previous one.The proof of Euclid uses the so-called parallel postulate . Objection to the use of parallel postulate and alternative view of proposition 29 have been a major problem in foundation of what is now called non-Euclidean geometry. The treatise of Khayyรกm can be considered the first treatment of the parallels axiom not based on petitio principii, but on a more intuitive postulate. Khayyรกm refutes the previous attempts by other Greek and Persian
Geometric algebra Whoever thinks algebra is a trick in obtaining unknowns has thought it in vain. No attention should be paid to the fact that algebra and geometry are different in appearance. Algebras are geometric facts which are proved by propositions five and six of Book two of Elements. Omar Khayyam Omar Khayyรกm's geometric solution to the cubic equation x3 + 200x = 20x2 + 2000. This philosophical view of mathematics (see below) has had a significant impact on Khayyรกm's celebrated approach and method in geometric algebra and in particular in solving cubic equations. In that his solution is not a direct path to a numerical solution and in fact his solutions are not numbers but rather line segments. In this regard Khayyรกm's work can be considered the first systematic study and the first exact method of solving cubic equations. In an untitled writing on cubic equations by Khayyรกm discovered in the 20th century, where the
above quote appears, Khayyรกm works on problems of geometric algebra. First is the problem of "finding a point on a quadrant of a circle such that when a normal is dropped from the point to one of the bounding radii, the ratio of the normal's length to that of the radius equals the ratio of the segments determined by the foot of the normal." Again in solving this problem, he reduces it to another geometric problem: "find a right triangle having the property that the hypotenuse equals the sum of one leg (i.e. side) plus the altitude on the hypotenuse ".To solve this geometric problem, he specializes a parameter and reaches the cubic equation x3 + 200x = 20x2 + 2000. Indeed, he finds a positive root for this equation by intersecting a hyperbola with a circle. This particular geometric solution of cubic equations has been further investigated and extended to degree four equations. Regarding more general equations he states that the solution of cubic equations requires the use of conic sections and that it cannot be solved by ruler and compass
methods. A proof of this possibility was only plausible 750 years after Khayyám died. In this paper Khayyám mentions his will to prepare a paper giving full solution to cubic equations: "If the opportunity arises and I can succeed, I shall give all these fourteen forms with all their branches and cases, and how to distinguish whatever is possible or impossible so that a paper, containing elements which are greatly useful in this art, will be prepared." This refers to the book Treatise on Demonstrations of Problems of Algebra (1070), which laid down the principles of algebra, part of the body of Persian Mathematics that was eventually transmitted to Europe. In particular, he derived general methods for solving cubic equations and even some higher orders. Astronomer The Jalali calendar was introduced by Omar Khayyám alongside other Mathematicians and Astronomers in Nishapur, today it is one of the oldest calendars in the world as well as the most accurate solar calendar in use today. Since the
calendar uses astronomical calculation for determining the vernal equinox, it has no intrinsic error, but this makes it an observation based calendar. Like most Persian mathematicians of the period, Khayyám was also an astronomer and achieved fame in that role. In 1073, the Seljuq Sultan Jalal al-Din Malik-Shah Saljuqi (Malik-Shah I, 1072–92), invited Khayyám to build an observatory, along with various other distinguished scientists. According to some accounts, the version of the medieval Iranian calendar in which 2,820 solar years together contain 1,029,983 days (or 683 leap years, for an average year length of 365.24219858156 days) was based on the measurements of Khayyám and his colleagues. Another proposal is that Khayyám's calendar simply contained eight leap days every thirty-three years (for a year length of 365.2424 days). In either case, his calendar was more accurate to the mean tropical year than the Gregorian calendar of 500 years later. The modern Iranian calendar is based on his calculations.
Heliocentric theory ephemeris for calculating dates. It is sometimes claimed that The lengths of the months can vary Khayyรกm demonstrated that the between 29 and 31 days depending earth rotates on its axis[ by on the moment when the sun presenting a model of the stars to crosses into a new zodiacal area (an his contemporary al-Ghazali in a attribute common to most Hindu planetarium. calendars).

Khayyรกm was a member of a panel that reformed the Iranian calendar. The panel was convened by Seljuk Sultan Malik Shah I, and completed its reforms in 1079, resulting in the Jalali calendar. The Jalali calendar remained in use across Greater Iran from the 11th to the 20th centuries. It is the basis of the Iranian calendar, which is followed today in Iran and Afghanistan. While the Jalali calendar is more accurate than the Gregorian, it is based on actual solar transit, similar to Hindu calendars, and requires an
