# Peter Moran (painter)

Peter Moran (March 4, 1841 – November 9, 1914) was a British-born American painter and etcher. His siblings Thomas and Edward were also painters and his brother John was an important Philadelphia photographer. Peter Moran is best known as a printmaker during the etching revival of the 1880s.

## Biography
### Early life and apprenticeship

Peter Moran was born in Bolton, Lancashire, the youngest of Mary (née Higson) and Thomas Moran Sr. He was a child when his parents and six siblings settled in Kensington, a suburb of Philadelphia. Three younger siblings were born after the family settled in Pennsylvania.
Moran began his career as an apprentice with the Philadelphia printing firm of Herline & Hensel and worked briefly as a lithographer. According to the United States Census of 1860, he also trained as a chair painter’s apprentice.
Peter Moran learned easel painting from his older brothers Edward and Thomas and traveled to England in 1863 to see the animal paintings of Edwin Landseer (1802-73). In 1867, he married the Irish-born Emily Kelly (1841-1903).

### Career

A painter in watercolor as well as oil, Moran specialized in bucolic eastern landscapes with animals as well as images of life in New Mexico. Recent research indicates his first visit to New Mexico occurred in 1880 rather than 1864, as previously believed. Moran is best known for his work in etching, and he was a leader in Philadelphia’s etching revival of the 1880s. The first exhibition of the Philadelphia Society of Etchers, held in the winter of 1882-83, included prints by him and by other members of his family. Moran’s wife Emily Kelley Moran was also an etcher and painter.
Of the four artist brothers, Peter Moran was the most active in Philadelphia’s growing art world. He was a member at various times of the Philadelphia Sketch Club, the Philadelphia Society of Artists, and the Art Union of Philadelphia. In 1880, he founded the Philadelphia Society of Etchers with his brother-in-law Stephen James Ferris (1835-1915) and the artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926). Moran served as president of the Society of Etchers until 1903. In 1887, he was a founding member of the Art Club of Philadelphia.

### Teaching

Peter Moran also had a long career as a teacher. He began in 1866 as a lecturer at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now Moore College of Art and Design). His brother Thomas and his brother-in-law Stephen Ferris had participated in a lecture series at the School of Design the previous year. Ferris continued his affiliation with the School of Design for nearly twenty-five years, teaching figure drawing and painting from live models and plaster casts of statues. Peter Moran’s teaching career lasted thirty years: after his start as a lecturer in 1866, he was hired full-time in 1872 and taught etching as well as landscape painting in oil and watercolor until 1896.

### Death

Moran died on November 9, 1914. He was buried next to his wife in West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

# Shijō school

The Shijō school (四条派, Shijō-ha), also known as the Maruyama–Shijō school, was a Japanese school of painting.

## History

It was an offshoot school of the Maruyama school of Japanese painting founded by Maruyama Ōkyo, and his former student Matsumura Goshun in the late 18th century. This school was one of several that made up the larger Kyoto school. The school is named after the Shijō Street ("Fourth Avenue") in Kyoto where many major artists were based. Its primary patrons were rich merchants in and around Kyoto/Osaka and also appealed to the kamigata who were of the established aristocrat and artisan families of the Imperial capital during the late 18th/19th centuries.

## Style

Stylistically, the Shijō style can best be described as a synthesis of two rival styles of the time. Maruyama Ōkyo was an experienced and expert painter of sumi-e ink paintings, and accomplished a great degree of realism in his creations, emphasizing direct observation of depicted subjects which was a direct contravention of the officially sponsored schools of the time, Kanō and Tosa, which emphasized decorativeness with highly formalized and stylized figures taught to its students via copying paintings of past masters. The Kanō and Tosa schools had become bywords for rigid formalism by this time. Meanwhile, a number of artists, rebelling against Ōkyo's realism, formed the nanga ("southern pictures") school, basing their style largely on the Southern school of Chinese painting. The artists of the Shijō school sought to reconcile the differences between these two styles, creating works that synthesized the best elements of both.
The school's style focuses on a Western-influenced objective realism, but achieved with traditional Japanese painting techniques. It concentrates less on the exact depiction of its subject, but rather on expressing the inner spirit and usually has an element of playfulness and humor compared to the Maruyama school. Popular motifs include tranquil landscapes, kachō (bird and flower), animals, and traditional subjects from Chinese poetic and Confucian lore, but there is generally little or no interest in legends, history, or classical literature.

## Artists

One of the most well-known Shijō artists in the West is Mori Sosen, who is known for his great number of paintings of monkeys. Shibata Zeshin is also closely associated with the Shijō school, though he worked in many other styles and mediums, most notably lacquer objects and lacquer painting.

# Abdoun Bridge

Wadi Abdoun Bridge or the Kamal Al-Shair Bridge is a bridge in Amman, Jordan. The only cable-stayed bridge in the country, it crosses the Wadi Abdoun. The building of the bridge commenced on 14 December 2002, and it was opened on 14 December 2006 and was built by Larsen & Toubro Limited, an Indian multinational company. It is part of Amman's Beltway project and links South Amman to the 4th Circle and Zahran Street. Since it was opened it has witnessed over 400 cases of attempted suicide.

## Design

The bridge has three Y-shaped towers to make two equal main spans of 134 meters in length. The bridge deck is shaped like an S-curve to aid in connecting to the adjoining roadways and the stays form a harp arrangement. The project was delayed by one year due to its technical complication and few incidents during construction. The structural designer, Dar Al-Handasah, won a commendation award in 2007 from the Institution of Structural Engineers for this bridge.
