Julius Sergius von Klever (Russian, 1850-1924) He was a Baltic German landscape painter. His father was a chemist who taught pharmacology at the Veterinary Institute. He displayed artistic talent at an early age and took lessons from Konstantin von Kügelgen. After completing his primary education, was enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts where, at his father's insistence, he studied architecture. After a short time, however, he began to take landscape painting classes; first with Sokrat Vorobiev, then Mikhail Clodt.

In 1870, he was apparently expelled from the Academy, for unknown reasons. Undeterred, he started exhibiting his works. In 1871, one was purchased by Count Pavel Stroganov and, the following year, his painting. "Sunset", was acquired by Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. In 1874, he had his first solo exhibition at the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts. After Tsar Alexander II expressed interest in his work, he was named an "Artist" by the Academy, despite having not graduated. In 1878, he became an "Academician"... ... (😁 very interesting 😆)

Does skin color really matter to a person?

You know what? Thomas Sowell, a professor in the United States, said in his book, "The importance of skin color is self-evident here." All races have not escaped the clutches of discrimination. Although it is popular to talk about anti-discrimination, it has existed throughout American history and is still a big problem today. First, let's talk about the origins of the problem: colonial aggression and the slave trade. As early as the colonial period, the United States began the slave trade, which sowed deep seeds of racial discrimination. In 1619, the first black slaves arrived in the United States, beginning the dark path of racial oppression. White people used their power to make their culture a symbol of North America. By the early 17th century, various English colonies had enacted laws making blacks the "perpetual property" of whites, and their children automatically inheriting slavery. In the first half of the 19th century, many Irish Catholics fled to America. As a result, Americans began to see the Irish immigrants as bad people, lazy, low, rough, and dangerous. All kinds of nativist and xenophobic organizations and political parties sprang up. By the 1850s, an organization called the American Party, which specifically opposed Irish immigration, had seven governors, eight senators, and 104 representatives. New York and Massachusetts passed laws to expel or return Irish immigrants. In 1844, at least 20 people died in Philadelphia because of anti-Irish immigration. The xenophobes also smashed, looted and torched Irish immigrants, torched their churches. Irish immigrants were seen as black until the 20th century, when they were accepted by whites and became victims of racism in the United States. However, when the railroad was repaired, the Americans began a massacre against the Chinese - the Chinese exclusion movement. In 1875, Congress passed the Page Act, which restricted the entry of Chinese workers and women into the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was even more severe, directly preventing Chinese immigrants already in the United States from becoming American citizens, and also preventing Chinese people from buying houses, getting married, having children, becoming officials, voting, and so on. In 1910, the United States Immigration Service opened an immigration detention facility on Angel Island in San Francisco, which remained closed until 1940. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, immigrants from Italy, Poland, Greece, and Russia became the mainstream in the United States, while white immigrants from Southeast Europe became the new object of exclusion. In 1911, the United States Congress issued a report saying that Southeast European immigrants would not contribute to the United States, but would destroy the American race, culture, and institutions. So they propose cultural tests for immigrants and a national quota system. Henry Ford, the boss of the Ford Motor Company, sent his employees to what he called "melting pot schools." And white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan recruited millions of members to terrorize and attack Southeastern European immigrants across the United States. The outbreak of the Russian October Revolution in 1917 caused the first round of "Red panic" in the United States. The United States government determined that there were Communists among Southeastern European immigrants and used them to arrest and deport large numbers of Southeastern European immigrants. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the increase of Hispanic immigrants, especially Mexican immigrants, has made the United States increasingly xenophobic. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the increase of Hispanic immigrants, especially Mexican immigrants, has made the United States increasingly xenophobic. In 1924, the United States created the Border Patrol to stop Mexican immigrants. In 1929, it made illegal entry a serious crime in an attempt to keep more Mexicans out. During the Great Depression, tens of thousands of Mexicans were driven home.

Julia Faye (born Julia Faye Maloney, September 24, 1892 – April 6, 1966) was an American actress of silent and sound films. She was known for her appearances in more than 30 Cecil B. DeMille productions. Her various roles ranged from maids and ingénues to vamps and queens.

She was "famed throughout Hollywood for her perfect legs" until her performance in Cecil B. DeMille's The Volga Boatman (1926) established her as "one of Hollywood's popular leading ladies."

Faye was born at her grandmother's home near Richmond, Virginia. Her father, Robert J. Maloney (born c. 1865), worked for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Her mother, Emma Louise Elliott (1872–1955), was from New Castle, Indiana.[9] Her parents had married in 1890 in Newton, Kansas. Faye's paternal grandfather, Thomas Maloney, was born in Ireland and had immigrated to the United States in the 1850s.

Faye's father died sometime before 1901, when her widowed mother married Cyrus Demetrios Covell (1862–1941) in Indiana. Faye took her stepfather's name and listed him as her father.

She had lived in St. Louis, Missouri, prior to coming to Hollywood in 1915, to visit friends. She visited one of the film studios and was introduced to actor and director Christy Cabanne. The two reminisced about St. Louis and discovered that they had lived next door to one another there. Cabanne persuaded Faye's reluctant mother to allow her to be in motion pictures.

Faye made her debut in silent films with bit roles in Martyrs of the Alamo and The Lamb, both directed by Christy Cabanne for Triangle Film Corporation in 1915. Her first credited and important role was as Dorothea opposite DeWolf Hopper's Don Quixote in the 1915 Fine Arts adaptation of the famous Miguel de Cervantes novel. Neil G. Caward, a reviewer for the film journal Motography, wrote, in his review of Don Quixote, that "both Fay Tincher as Dulcinea and Julia Faye as Dorothea add much enjoyment to the picture." Faye's growing popularity increased with her appearances in several Keystone comedies, including A Movie Star, His Auto Ruination, His Last Laugh, Bucking Society, The Surf Girl, and A Lover's Might, all released in 1916. She also worked for D. W. Griffith, who gave her a minor role in Intolerance (1916).

Faye's first role for Cecil B. DeMille was featured in The Woman God Forgot (1917). She continued working for DeMille in The Whispering Chorus, Old Wives for New, The Squaw Man and Till I Come Back to You (all 1918).

In 1919, Faye played the stenographer in Stepping Out. Cast with Enid Bennett, Niles Welch, and Gertrude Claire, Faye was complimented by a critic for playing her role with "class". In DeMille's Male and Female (1919), she played Gloria Swanson's maid.

Her next film, It Pays To Advertise (1919), was a Paramount Pictures release adapted by Elmer Harris from the play of the same name by Rol Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett. It was directed by Donald Crisp. Faye was among the actors with Lois Wilson depicting the leading lady.

Faye was listed as a member of the Paramount Stock Company School in July 1922. Its noteworthy personalities included Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Betty Compson, Wallace Reid, Bebe Daniels, and Pola Negri.

In 1923, she played The Wife of Pharaoh, one of her most famous roles, in the prologue of DeMille's The Ten Commandments.

Faye joined Raymond Griffith and ZaSu Pitts in the screen feature Changing Husbands (1924), a Leatrice Joy comedy adapted from a magazine story entitled Roles.

When DeMille resigned as director general of Famous Players-Lasky, in January 1925, he became the production head of Cinema Corporation of America. He planned to direct two or three films per year and supervise the making of between ten and twenty more. Faye came along with him as did Joy, Rod La Roque, Florence Vidor, Mary Astor, and Vera Reynolds.

The Volga Boatman (1926) was directed by DeMille and named for the noted Russian song. William Boyd, Elinor Fair, and Faye have primary roles in a production DeMille called "his greatest achievement in picture making." Faye's depiction of a "tiger woman" was esteemed as the most captivating of her career, to this point. Before this role she had been known for "silken siren roles". Theodore Kosloff played opposite her as a stupid blacksmith.

Faye played Martha in The King of Kings (1927). Christ, portrayed by H.B. Warner, is introduced with great majesty in the DeMille photodrama. A blind child searches for the Lord and the producer/director turns the camera gradually down to the child's eyes. The viewer sees Christ initially like the blind child whose sight is restored. Faye traveled to New York City for personal appearances in association with The King of Kings and to address a sales convention in Chicago, Illinois.

Faye won critical acclaim for her leading performance in the 60-minute silent comedy Turkish Delight (1927), directed by Paul Sloane for DeMille Pictures Corporation. She was featured as Velma in the 1927 DeMille-produced film adaptation of the play Chicago; she has the distinction of being the first actress to portray Velma on-screen.

Faye had a small role as an inmate in DeMille's The Godless Girl (1929), which featured some talking sequences, but she made her "talkie" debut playing Marcia Towne in DeMille's first sound film, Dynamite (1929), co-starring Conrad Nagel, Kay Johnson, and Charles Bickford. Dynamite was also her first Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film. She also appeared in two other MGM productions, the Marion Davies comedy Not So Dumb (1930) and DeMille's third and final remake of The Squaw Man (1931), before her brief retirement from films in the early 1930s.

After a short-lived marriage, Faye returned to films with a minor role in Till We Meet Again (1936) and would go on to appear in every one of DeMille's films after Union Pacific (1939), which marked her return to DeMille films. In Samson and Delilah (1949), she had a prominent supporting role as Delilah's maidservant, Hisham. In The Ten Commandments (1956), she played Elisheba, Aaron's wife. Her last role was as a dowager in the 1958 remake of DeMille's The Buccaneer, produced by DeMille himself but directed by his son-in-law Anthony Quinn.

Faye married Harold Leroy Wallick on August 2, 1913, in Manhattan. Wallick predeceased her, and she is listed as a widow in the 1930 census.

Faye first met Cecil B. DeMille in 1917 and became one of his mistresses. In 1920, Faye resided at 2450 Glendower Avenue in Los Feliz.[32] She later bought a Colonial Revival-style mansion at 2338 Observatory Avenue, also in Los Feliz.

Faye married screenwriter Walter Anthony Merrill on October 24, 1935, in Los Angeles. In April 1936, she announced that she had obtained a Nevada divorce from Merrill.

Faye began writing a memoir, Flicker Faces, in the mid-1940s. Although it remains unpublished, some excerpts from the memoir are included in author Scott Eyman's 2010 biography of DeMille, Empire of Dreams: The Epic Life of Cecil B. DeMille.

Faye died of cancer at her home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, on April 6, 1966, at the age of 73. Her cremated remains rest in the Colonnade at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
