Gilah Yelin Hirsch, (born 1944, Montreal, Quebec, Canada); is a multi-disciplinary artist who works as a painter, writer, theorist, photographer, filmmaker and lecturer. Hirsch earned a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley, 1967, and an MFA in Pictorial Arts from UCLA in 1970 and has held the position of Professor of Art at California State University, Dominguez Hills (Los Angeles) since 1973. == Early Career 1970-1986== Hirsch moved to Los Angeles in 1967 to pursue an MFA in Pictorial Arts at UCLA. Upon graduation (1970) she simultaneously embarked on both her art and teaching careers. After teaching at Santa Monica College and the University of Judaism, (now American Jewish University), she was recruited to the Art Department at California State University Dominguez Hills (Los Angeles) in 1973, and was awarded tenure in 1978. Hirsch has continued to serve as Professor of Art at CSUDH while sustaining her career as a professional artist and exhibiting her work nationwide.〔Nelson, Mary Carroll.''Artists of the Spirit: New Prophets in Art and Mysticism''.CA, Arcus Publishing Co., 1994.〕 Hirsch was a founding member of the Los Angeles Council of Women Artists (1971), the "mother" organization of many subsequent feminist art organizations.〔Wilding, Faith, ''By Our Own Hands'', Double X, Santa Monica, CA, 1977.〕 She also named and facilitated the ''Joan of Art Seminars'', (originated by June Wayne), teaching artists the business aspects of their professional careers. Since then, (1972), this has become common practice and a regular component of art school curricula.〔Love, Barbara J.''Feminists Who Changed America, 1963-1975''. University of Illinois Press, 2006. Pages:213-214.〕〔(Oral history interview with Rachel Rosenthal, 1989 Sept. 2-3 - Oral Histories | Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution )〕 In 1974 Hirsch brought the life and work of Canadian artist Emily Carr to the attention of the American academic community at the College Art Association, Washington, DC.〔〔(College of Arts & Humanities )〕〔The Feminist Art Journal, ''Emily Carr'',Gilah Yelin Hirsch, Summer 1976, Vol. 5.3〕 Hirsch curated the exhibition, ''Metamagic'', in 1978 at the California State University Dominguez Hills University Art Gallery in Los Angeles. This exhibit was the first held nationally in a major exhibition space to be focused on the spiritual in art and attracted worldwide attention.〔Nelson, Mary Carroll. ''Artists of the Spirit: New Prophets in Art and Mysticism''. California, Arcus Publishing, 1994.〕 Hirsch spent the fall semester of 1979 as visiting artist at Saint Martin's School of Art, London, England. As requests for exhibitions of her work and talks about her philosophy multiplied, she originated a slide presentation of her paintings that reflected both aspects of her work. This unusual presentation was introduced at the Menninger Foundation’s annual conference in Council Grove, Kansas (1982). Hirsch has continued to serve as presenter for numerous Council Grove conferences (sponsored by the Menninger Foundation, Life Science Institute, Center for Ecology and Energy Medicine) and has convened two conferences (1995, 2006). In 1983 Hirsch first presented her theory on the origin of alphabet, ''Cosmography: The Writing of the Universe'', at the Council Grove Conference.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gilah Yelin Hirsch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
