This thesis discusses the stylistic development of Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald (1890-1956) as seen in his dated oil paintings. Chapter I outlines FitzGerald's formative years (1890-1919). It attempts to explain how his love of the prairies and interest in art developed. It suggests the dominant influences in his study of art. It includes a stylistic discussion of FitzGerald's earliest works, including his well known, Late Fall, Manitoba (1918). Chapter II attempts to explain why FitzGerald suddenly lightened and brightened his palette. It explores the sources which may have influenced the development of FitzGerald's impressionistic style (1920-October 1921) and it provides a stylistic analysis of two of his impressionistic works, Summer East Kildonan (1920) and Summer Afternoon, The Prairie (1921). Chapter llldiscusses the importance of FitzGerald's first trip to New York, his study at the Art Students' League (December 1921 - May 1922) and his study of the works of European masters at the Metropolitan Museum. It explores the influence his two art instructors, Boardman Robinson and Kenneth Miller may have had on his work. It also suggests the importance of the works of Cezanne to FitzGerald's development. Chapter IV discusses the new directions FitzGerald pursued upon his return from New York. It reveals that FitzGerald's new style of painting, as seen in Potato Patch, Snowflake (1925) was fairly dependent on the external influences he had seen while in New York. This chapter also discusses the importance of FitzGerald's appointment as instructor for the Winnipeg School of Art, to his development of a new more studied style, as seen in Williamson's Garage (1927). Chapter V explores the influences of his second trip to the East (June 1 -July 1, 1930) on his artistic development, through revealing statements drawn from FitzGerald's Diary. Chapter VI reveals FitzGerald's striving towards more personal expressions during the thirties and forties, as seen in three major works from this period, Doc Snider's House (1931), Jar (1938), and Still Life: Two Apples (1940). Chapter VII discusses FitzGerald's gradual move towards abstraction. Suggestions of this direction, are already noted in From an Upstairs Window, Winter (1948). It includes a stylistic analysis of two abstract works, Composition No. 1 (c. 1950-51) and Abstract: Green and Gold (1954). The last major oil, Hat (1955), is discussed in terms of a final statement made by the artist. An attempt is made to determine the essential characteristics of FitzGerald's paintings, which enable them to transcend their regional boundaries and speak to all of Canada. / Arts, Faculty of / Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of / Graduate

This thesis aims to show that the notable points of the triangles are not limited to Incentro, circumcenter, Baricentro and Orthocenter which are the best known. In fact, the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers (ETC), see [5], features over five thousand notable points. Are points with several interesting properties as we will see throughout this work. In addition to the points already mentioned will also present the points of Feuerbach, the Lemoine point, the point Gergonne, the Nagel point, the Spieker point and the points of Fermat. Will be also presented some important theorems, among them we highlight the Ceva theorem that will be used to prove the existence of several points mentioned. We realize that it is a matter of understanding that can be easily inserted into the basic education. / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo mostrar que os pontos notáveis dos triângulos não se resumem ao Incentro, Circuncentro, Baricentro e ao Ortocentro que são os mais conhecidos. Na verdade, a Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers (ETC), ver [5], apresenta mais de cinco mil pontos notáveis. São pontos com várias propriedades interessantes como veremos ao longo deste trabalho. Além dos pontos já citados apresentaremos também os pontos de Feuerbach, o ponto de Lemoine, o ponto de Gergonne, o ponto de Nagel, o ponto de Spieker e os pontos de Fermat. Serão apresentados também alguns teoremas importantes, entre eles podemos destacar o Teorema de Ceva que será usado para provar a existência de vários pontos citados. Podemos perceber que é um assunto de fácil compreensão que pode ser inserido no ensino básico.

TITLE Spatial generalizations of the properties of the triangle AUTHOR Jirˇı' Sřubarˇ SUPERVISOR Prof. RNDr. Adolf Karger, DrSc. DEPARTMENT Department of mathematics education ABSTRACT The present thesis describes various interesting properties of a triangle. The aim is to find and prove similar properties of its spatial generalization - a tetrahedron. Even though both synthetic and computational methods are used for proving spatial relations, synthetic approach is preferred whenever possible. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, the properties of the tetrahedron analogous to the centroid and the orthocenter of the triangle are described. Also, conditions on the existence of the orthocenter of the tetrahedron are derived. Moreover, for tetrahedrons without an orthocenter, the so-called Monge point is introduced as its generalization. In the second part of the thesis, some further properties of the triangle are studied - - the Simson line, the de Longchamps point, the nine-point circle, the Euler line, the Lemoine point, the isodynamic points, the Lemoine axis and the Brocard axis. As the main contribution of the present thesis we define and prove the existence of spatial analogues of the above mentioned properties for the tetrahedron - the de Longchamps point, the twelve-point and...
