# Noe Canjura

Noe Canjura (Apopa, El Salvador, 14 August 1922 – Morienval, France, 29 September 1970) was a Salvadoran painter and a prominent figure in 20th century modern art in France. His art was 'imbued with a social conscience and laden with religious symbolism'.

## Early life

Noe Canjura was born in 1922 in Apopa, a village in the Republic of El Salvador in Central America, to a humble family of landless peasants. The infertile soil of the region meant survival was difficult. Canjura worked in a sawmill- often spending the night there- to pay part of his school expenses and lessen the load on his father.
He developed an interest in drawing at the age of seventeen, subsequently studying painting at the Academy of Painting of Valero Lecha in San Salvador from 1942 to 1946. From 1942 onward, Canjura's work was exhibited throughout El Salvador, and later also in Guatemala. In 1948 he embarked on study in Mexico City; there, he was strongly influenced by Diego Rivera, then at the height of his fame. Canjura later gained inspiration from the art of Gauguin, particularly his concepts of formal order in painting and the use of curves. That year also saw his first exhibition in the United States.

## Life in Paris

In 1949, supported by a five-year government scholarship, Canjura went to France to study at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. Despite influence from the work of Courbet and Le Nain, he preferred to represent the sombre, harsh living conditions of his native country. He had his first one-man show in Paris in 1953, and lived there from then on. To support himself he undertook manual labour. His marriage to Madeleine Bachelet, also an artist, brought a greater financial security that allowed him to dedicate himself to his art. Returning briefly to El Salvador in 1957, the influence of his life in Paris led him to see his country from a new perspective, and colour and light came to play a greater part in his works. The city of Paris purchased four of Canjura's paintings between 1959 and 1965 for its permanent collection.
Canjura was a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and the Salon de la Jeune Peinture. He was a regular exhibitor, and invited every year to Maurice Boitel's group in the Salon "Comparaisons". The National Museum of El Salvador and the Hamishka Leomanouth Museum at Ein Harod, Israel also purchased his paintings. He was awarded the "Prune d'Argent" by the Salon Peintres de Provence in 1965.

## Death and legacy

Canjura died in Morienval, France on 29 September 1970, aged 48, and buried at the cemetery of Notre Dame de Morienval. He was survived by his daughter and granddaughter.
He is regarded as 'an almost mythical figure in El Salvador- the barefoot goatherd... who went on to be a successful artist in Paris'; his work is considered to be influenced by 'the memory of the dramatic colors and of the tropical light of El Salvador'. His time in France led to the development of 'an increasingly abstract style of luminous colours and diffused shapes'.

# Meeting House Hill Historic District

The Meeting House Hill Historic District encompasses the historic religious center of North Guilford, Connecticut. Located on Ledge Hill Road, the district includes two churches (along with their appended halls and parsonages), a cemetery, and Ledge Hill Road itself, which dates to the early 18th century. The arrangement is reflective of a spirit of religious tolerance that manifested in the early 19th century, allowing churches from two different congregations (Congregationalist and Episcopalian) to heal long-standing divisions. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

## Description and history

North Guilford was an agricultural outpost of the town of Guilford from its early settlement. In 1705, land was set aside for a common, and in 1717 land was allocated for a meeting house and cemetery. The local population was at the time strongly Congregationalist, and the town levied church taxes that supported the Congregational church that was built there. In 1747, a segment of the North Guilford population formally declared itself for the Church of England, and built a second church at a location to the south. These adherents objected to the church tax, leading to acrimonious disputes in the town. In the early 19th century, a spirit of reconciliation prevailed, and the Congregationalists agreed to permit the Episcopalian successors to the Anglicans to build their church on land adjacent to theirs.
Meetinghouse Hill is located in rural northern Guilford, occupying a prominent hilltop location. It is accessed via Ledge Hill Road, which was laid out in the early 18th century to provide access to the site. The cemetery is on the west side of the road, and the buildings of the two churches are located on the east side. The North Guilford Congregational Church is the northern of the two churches: it is a Federal style building constructed in 1812-14 by Abraham Coan. To its south stands St. John's Episcopal Church, also built about 1812-14, is a more eclectic mix of Classical and Gothic elements, reflective of alterations made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Congregational church is accompanied by an 1823 parsonage and a Victorian (1887–88) parish hall that now houses a school. Adjacent to St. John's stands its former rectory, a Greek Revival house built in 1851.

# Middletown Rural Historic District

The Middletown Rural Historic District encompasses an area that was once the town center of Grafton, Vermont. Located northwest of Grafton Village along Middletown Road and adjacent roads, it includes nine well-preserved 19th-century properties, as well as the town's first cemetery and animal pound. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

## Description and history

The area that is now Grafton was first chartered in 1754, but only began to see permanent settlement in the late 1770s. The town's first civic center was located on a hill near the geographic center of town, which is now at the center of the Middletown Rural Historic District. This area would by 1830 be economically eclipsed by Grafton Village and other areas along the Saxtons River. The area is now largely rural, with a small cluster of buildings at the corner of Middletown and Woodchuck Hill Road.
The district extends along most of the length of Middletown Road, between Grafton Village and its northern end at Vermont Route 121. Several dead-end spur roads radiate from Middletown Road, which also have contributing properties. The oldest resources in the district are the cemetery and the Hall House, both dating to about 1790. Most of the houses in the district are wood-frame structures, in either Federal or Greek Revival style, with three examples of brick construction. The old town pound, its stone walls dating to about 1808, is near the cemetery, and an 1856 schoolhouse stands at the junction of Middletown Road with Route 121, marking the northernmost end of the district.
# Middletown Springs Historic District

The Middletown Springs Historic District encompasses most of the village center of Middletown Springs, Vermont. Oriented around the crossroads junction of Vermont Routes 140 and 133, the village has a well-preserved collection of mainly mid-19th century architecture, including a significant number of Italianate buildings. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

## Description and history

The town of Middletown Springs was settled before the American Revolutionary War, and was incorporated in 1784. Its town center is located at the site of the supposed first house, a log structure (not surviving) built by Luther Fillmore. The orientation of the roads along the compass points took place not long after the town was organized. Proximity to the Poultney River meant the placement of grist and saw mills, a source of early economic activity. A. W. Gray, a local millwright, developed a new type of horse engine in the 1850s, and his factory, located in an old mill, flourished, resulting in a construction boom in the 1850s-1870s, including the construction of a number of vernacular and high-style Italianate houses. Although Gray's company declined after the 1880s (with the advent of the internal combustion engine), Gray also developed the Middletown mineral springs as a resort area, drawing tourists to the area in the late 19th century.
The historic district is centered on the junction of North, East, South, and West Streets, with the village common at the northeast corner of the junction, and the cemetery at its southwest. It radiates in all four directions, petering out into rural agricultural landscape. To the south, the district extends beyond the Poultney River, and along Mont Vert Road for a short distance. There are 91 buildings in the district, most of which are residences 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height. Wood construction with clapboarded exterior is typical. Prominent buildings include the Greek Revival community church at the north end of the common, and several high style Italianate houses. The Colonial Revival school house, set southwest of the cemetery, is the largest building in the district.
