Oral history interview with Tyra Shackleford
No full textTyra Shackleford has been finger weaving almost her entire life but has only recently started sharing her work as an artist. She talks about growing up and being encouraged to learn more about her Native heritage and culture. She explains how she first learned finger weaving and why she decided to start creating artwork. She describes the different techniques she uses and the different types of items she can make. She mentions a few of her projects and comments on the research she does to understand more about the traditional work of her ancestors.The Oklahoma Native Artists Collection is a series of interviews with Native American artists living in Oklahoma or have Oklahoma ties. The purpose of this project is to highlight the contributions of American Indian artists to the state by examining their lives and careers through the lens of art. This series also contains interviews with collectors, gallery owners and festival organizers
Tyra Kleen och framställningen av människokroppen
No full textNordisk sekelskifteskonst omkring 1900 förknippades och förknippas fortfarande idag framförallt med nationalromantiken och landskapsmåleriet. Till skillnad från denna dominerande kulturpatriotiska konst som med hjälp av nordiska stämningslandskap eller människotomt landskapsmåleri ville ge uttryck åt det nationella, fanns det ett antal nordiska konstnärer från den yngre konstnärsgenerationen som däremot intog en nästintill motsatt position. Medan konstnärer som Tyra Kleen (1874 – 1951), Olof Sager-Nelson (1868 – 1896), Magnus Enckell (1870 – 1925), Beda Stjernschantz (1867 – 1910) eller Ellen Thesleff (1869 – 1954) var verksamma på kontinenten omkring sekelskiftet 1900 utgick de ifrån ett transnationellt och kosmopolitiskt estetiskt tänkande som medvetet tog avstånd från en konstutövning som ville uttrycka en nationell tillhörighet. Istället för landskapsmåleri utmärkte sig deras heterogena produktion av antika, bibliska, litterära motiv eller porträttkonst där framställningen av den idealiserade människokroppen och att måla efter levande modell spelade en dominerande roll. Mot bakgrund av detta verkar dessa konstnärer ha utgjort en parallell gruppering i Nordens tidiga modernism som hittills fått litet utrymme i den nordiska konsthistorien. Med utgångspunkt i framställningen av den idealiserade människokroppen, såväl i porträttmåleriet som i mytologiska eller religiösa motiv, sätter jag ett antal konstverk av Tyra Kleen och några ytterligare kosmopolitiska nordiska konstnärer i sammanhang med den tidiga kontinentala modernismen och symbolismens skönhetsideal. Genom att belysa symbolismens ikonografiska, filosofiska och stilistiska ideal, avser jag att visa att det finns goda skäl att anta att såväl Tyra Kleen som konstnärer som Magnus Enckell eller Beda Stjernschantz stod den kontinentala symbolistiska, ideella, mystiska rörelsen mycket nära. Elementära drag inom symbolismen som androgynidealet och den klassiska konstens ideal anammades och omsattes t.ex. av Kleen, Enckell och Stjernschantz och nyplatonska idéer om den själsliga, andliga kärleken och om ett förhistoriskt, harmoniskt, absolut mänskligt tillstånd präglade deras estetiska tänkande och konstproduktion

Tyra Kleen her life and work rediscovered
No full textThe artist Tyra Kleen (1874-1951) was extremely productive and attracted considerable attention in her time, with successful exhibitions all over the world. Despite that, her life and work have fallen into oblivion. Perhaps this is because she herself chose to bequeath her large collection of art, sketches and diaries to the House of the Nobility in Stockholm, with instructions that is should not be opened for fifty years. Translated from Swedish by Alan Crozier. Swedish edition published in 2016
The TyrA family of aromatic-pathway dehydrogenases in phylogenetic context
No full textAbstract Background The TyrA protein family includes members that catalyze two dehydrogenase reactions in distinct pathways leading to L-tyrosine and a third reaction that is not part of tyrosine biosynthesis. Family members share a catalytic core region of about 30 kDa, where inhibitors operate competitively by acting as substrate mimics. This protein family typifies many that are challenging for bioinformatic analysis because of relatively modest sequence conservation and small size. Results Phylogenetic relationships of TyrA domains were evaluated in the context of combinatorial patterns of specificity for the two substrates, as well as the presence or absence of a variety of fusions. An interactive tool is provided for prediction of substrate specificity. Interactive alignments for a suite of catalytic-core TyrA domains of differing specificity are also provided to facilitate phylogenetic analysis. tyrA membership in apparent operons (or supraoperons) was examined, and patterns of conserved synteny in relationship to organismal positions on the 16S rRNA tree were ascertained for members of the domain Bacteria. A number of aromatic-pathway genes (hisHb, aroF, aroQ) have fused with tyrA, and it must be more than coincidental that the free-standing counterparts of all of the latter fused genes exhibit a distinct trace of syntenic association. Conclusion We propose that the ancestral TyrA dehydrogenase had broad specificity for both the cyclohexadienyl and pyridine nucleotide substrates. Indeed, TyrA proteins of this type persist today, but it is also common to find instances of narrowed substrate specificities, as well as of acquisition via gene fusion of additional catalytic domains or regulatory domains. In some clades a qualitative change associated with either narrowed substrate specificity or gene fusion has produced an evolutionary "jump" in the vertical genealogy of TyrA homologs. The evolutionary history of gene organizations that include tyrA can be deduced in genome assemblages of sufficiently close relatives, the most fruitful opportunities currently being in the Proteobacteria. The evolution of TyrA proteins within the broader context of how their regulation evolved and to what extent TyrA co-evolved with other genes as common members of aromatic-pathway regulons is now feasible as an emerging topic of ongoing inquiry.</p
