Under Filonov's guidance, some of his students presented an exhibition of analytical art in April 1927, and designed sets and costumes for a Leningrad performance of Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General...
...past the silent film era and into a new age of sync-sound entertainment. Why listen to Orson Welles narrate an alien invasion when you can watch Tom Cruise stop one?Instead of continuing to use the live music format that most stations have been using since the late 1920s, radio began to turn back to the recorded album in an attempt to save itself.

Instead, babies must gradually construct this knowledge from experience. Piaget's "constructivist" theories were massively influential on postwar educators and psychologists, but over the past...
