For more than fifty years the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York has selected the perfect wall colors to complement the celebrated collection of modern art showcased in its Frank Lloyd Wright–designed home on Fifth Avenue.If you're interested in having Frank Lloyd Wright paint colors in your home, you can order a fan book of colors for Fine Paints of Europe (which is a bit expensive) or find a local retailer.
Beginning this fall, the Guggenheim will share these trade secrets with homeowners, interior designers, architects, and art lovers everywhere. The Classical Colors is a set of 150 wall colors drawn from much-loved paintings in the Guggenheim’s permanent collection. The Gallery Colors are comprised of 50 hues favored by generations of Guggenheim Museum curators, artists, and designers—including Wright himself.
I have a little tooth brush,Another original, unsigned poem from the Character-Culture-Citizenship Guides.
I use it every day,
To keep my teeth all clean and white
And save them from decay.
I have a soap and flannel,
I use them, you can tell;
My mother says that cleanliness
Will help to keep me well.
March 13, Washington addresses mutinous Continental officers at Newburgh, New York. Their pay long in arrears, the officers fear that their pensions will also be unpaid. In December 1782, representative officers from each state's Continental line had sent a petition to Congress insisting on immediate payment and suggesting the substitution of lump sums for pensions. The officers, most of whom are at the army's headquarters at Newburgh, learn that Congress has rejected the petition. Washington calls a meeting of representative officers and staff and delivers a speech and reads an extract from Congress. Referring to the glasses he must wear to read the extract, he says, "Gentleman, you must pardon me. I have grown gray in your service and now find myself growing blind." Washington's gesture defuses the crisis. After he retires from the scene the officers adopt resolutions affirming their loyalty to Congress. March 18, Washington writes Congress an account of the proceedings of the previous days and argues on behalf of the officers' grievances.
White clouds, white clouds, up so highI can't find a reference to the poem anywhere else but this poster, and since the poster is unsigned, the poem is too.
White clouds, white clouds, in the sky
Clouds so white and sky so blue:
How I love to look at you.
Soapsuds, soapsuds, in my hair
Soapsuds, soapsuds, white and fair:
Tell me mother, tell me true,
Are the clouds just soapsuds too?
