Beloved, multi-talented, and awardwinning TV, movie, and stage actress Jean Stapleton died Friday of natural causes at her NYC home, her family announced today. She was 90. Whether playing blue collar Archie Bunker's dingbat wife Edith on All In the Family or patrician President Franklin D Roosevelt's First Lady Eleanor, Stapleton brought authenticity, grace, dignity, and humor to every varied role. Even more interestingly, she was middle-aged when she hit her professional stride. Born Jeanne Murray in 1923, she received 3 Emmys for her portrayal as Bunker's wife in Norman Lear's groundbreaking 1970s sitcom but asked to be written out of the first season of the spinoff Archie Bunker's Place. Reuniting with Carroll O'Connor in 2000 for Donny and Marie Osmond's talk show, Stapleton declined the hosts' request to 'do' Edith Bunker. Stapleton later told the Archive of American Television that she felt replicating in casual settings the voices and mannerisms trivialized and detracted from the characters as originally created. She began her showbiz career in 1941 at age 18 in summer stock and made her New York debut off Broadway. It wasn't long before she was featured on Broadway in several hit musicals, and began guest starring on TV series both comic and dramatic, thus demonstrating her wide range. As much for Edith Bunker, she also will always be remembered for portraying Eleanor Roosevelt in a 1982 TV production. And then, in 1998 and for a few years afterward, Stapleton starred in a one-woman show portraying that First Lady. She kept coming back to series TV: in recurring roles on Scarecrow And Mrs King and the educational series Beakman's World and Touched By An Angel. She co-starred with Whoopi Goldberg in the short-lived Bagdad Café based on the movie. She was featured on Everybody Loves Raymond and Murphy Brown. She also appeared in feature films such as Klute, Michael, and You've Got Mail.

A comedy giant who was so much more.
Watched her in All in the Family of course, but I always think of her portrayal of Eleanor Roosrvelt when
I think of her. RIP Jean. Really loved you.
good byluy my love
R.I.P. Edith, You Dingbat. R.I.P. Jean, a great actress.
…Those were the days…
RIP Jean.
Grew up watching All in the Family as a kid. She made me laugh. A lot. I'll never forget "The Change"! RIP Jean, it was a long and wonderful life. We should all be so lucky.
RIP. Jean. Your character, Edith, was the perfect foil for Archie. He couldn't have been too bad if he was married to Edith. You performed the role of a lifetime with dignity and purpose.
RIP Jean Stapleton…. Phenomenal actress, class act.
Very sad news.All In The Family was & is one of my favorite shows of all-time. Still catch the reruns on Antenna TV. Part of my love for All In The Family has a lot to do with her potrayal of Edith Bunker. No matter what,Edith always believed the best of everyone. Her childlike(some might say naive) way of looking at things made me appreciate the small things in life. Edith managed to find good in everyone & everything. Just her excitement in bringing Archie a beer gave me a smile. I also will always remember The Change. That is one(of many) of my favorite episodes. This really has made me very sad. Well,she had a long run-90 is not too shabby-not at all. As dingbats go-she was one of the very best. May God bless & may she rest in peace. :(
She was great on All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place. Ntot to mention guest star as Beakman's mother on Beakman's World. R.I.P. Jean.
What a HUGE Loss to Hollywood. I grew up watching "Archie Bunker" with my dad, not really understanding what it was about. I now enjoy watching reruns on ME TV or Antennae TV — not sure which station it's on.
But have always LOVED Edith and Archie too.
What a great talent. Heaven is lucky to have her.
RIP, Jean. You were one of the greats and will be missed.
and thus hollywood has lost a comedic legend and icon. would not be surprised if god had her and carol doing an episode of all in the family in heaven. sympathy to her friends and family for the loss of a true comedic legend and icon who no one else can ever replace.
This show was frequently a great laugh. But, I will also remember episodes like the one where a man gained access to their house while no one was home and Edith thought she was going to be raped. After that episode I realized what a tremendous actress Jean Stapleton was. She made me laugh so often, but sold me and broke my heart with her moment to moment fear and survival tactics. That day I got to look under the hood and realized she was packin' a 427 big block inside. What a great artist.
Rest In Peace Ms. Stapleton. You inspired many.
The episode when Edith was attacked was classic. Even now, I still get tense and upset watching it. But it was also an episode that illustrated that despite Archie's bluster, he was connected to Edith, knowing the difference between her happy tears and her hurting tears.
More than anything, Archie and Edith's marriage was one of the more authentic representations. Yes, Archie called her a dingbat and was, at times, condescending, but when Edith put her foot down, whether insisting that they go on their anniversary trip or fighting for her right to keep her job at the nursing home, he knew that he had better listen, because he knew that he had something special in Edith. I shake my head when people cite couples like Ross and Rachel as an ideal; Archie and Edith was an ideal, in that at no point, they took their love for each other for granted. Even when Archie 'cheated' (sharing two kisses with that waitress), it was a major deal, but something that they worked through.
RIP, Jean Stapleton.
That "rape" episode (attempted rape, really, and thankfully) was originally supposed to happen on One Day At A Time with Bonnie Franklin's character, Ann Romano. Norman Lear (the TV genius behind both shows) decided it would be more shocking to have it happen to a beloved motherly character such as Edith. It was a brilliant move, because the idea that such violence could happen to anyone, even Edith Bunker, really hit home with people. It certainly did with me.
She had a brief but memorable role as a high school office worker in Up the Down Staircase ("ignore all bells!")
Yes, I always think of Jean Stapleton in "Up the Down Staircase." As the school secretary, she admits to doing a certain act, "But he's an artist!" Very memorable turn in "Damn Yankees," too.
Rest In Peace "Edith Bunker"Ms. Stapleton You Will Truly Be Missed
Nikki, can you postscript a footnote that Jean Stapleton was around 50 when she hit her stride? Just an interesting stat. Considering ageism in the biz.
Another familiar face gone ! But you know it's hard to be that familiar face on Tv ! A Class Act ! I despised All In The Family , why , because of the high class acting of the cast ! All Too Real ! Catching glimpses of this quiet with it actress over many years , always warmed my heart !!
lovely woman. lovely mother and human being.
She was very talented. She leaves behind a son who is a highly skilled comedy director, and a daughter who is a very smart TV executive.
Loved loved loved jean Stapleton aka Edith Baines Bunker the lovable dingbat Queens housewife/mother/mother-in-law/aunt/grandmother whom always found the good in everyone even Archie lol!!! She was such a phenomenonal actress and humanitarian always helping everybody and loving as well!!! I cried after I saw the episode of Archie Bunker's Place where Edith died peacefully in her sleep one night and it was not until the very end that Archie cried too!!! America cried too and it was a testament to not only the character but how Ms. Stapleton made her so real and loving!!! Archie Bunker's Place was never the same after that and neither will be television now for she was a real lady!!! God bless her family and now she is finally with Archie again singing And You Knew Where You Wheeeeeerrrrrrreee Innnnnnnnnnn LOL!!!! God bless and Edith will always be the best singer of them all!!!
Here's that Osmond clip when O'Connor and Stapleton were on, together in 2000…adorable & dignified.
A true Television legend (and more with Films & Theater). As great a comedienne as she was, she brought such pathos in the more serious moments of ALL IN THE FAMILY that the show could have been just as successful at as a straight drama than it was as a sitcom.
A tribute to Stapleton and Carroll O'Connors talents. May their memories burn bright.
I can only echo all the other praise already posted, but I also point out that Jean Stapleton was the first choice to star in "Murder, She Wrote." One can only wonder about the fun she would have had with that role and how that show might have improved with Stapleton in the title role. Sorry that she turned it down.
How wonderful it was to have Jean Stapleton come into our lives each week in All In The Family. I grew up watching that show, laughing and learning. Watching her excellent comedic timing, kindness and wit come through as she portrayed Edith Bunker was such a Delight. What an Intelligent Actor! Top of the Line. A real Giant. Was always thrilled to see her whenever she Popped Up in any role she was in and anxious to she what she would create. So much for all Actors to live Up to. I wish I would have worked with her or at least met her. She will be missed. Thank You Ms. Stapleton for giving us the Best! Thank you so much.

If we're gonna talk feds and the "terrorist Bomber". how about the poor schlub that was questioned by the feds the shot 6 times in the torso and once in the back of the head. Because he 1, attacked them with a knife, but then 2, attacked them with a sword, then 3 just attacked them with his MMA skills, but then, 4 attacked with knife.

This was by far the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. Steve's house has everything you need, including the little things like spices, condiments, soap (in case you forget your own). There are plenty of entertainment options and strong wifi as well. The location is excellent. Overall an awesome experience and I will definitely stay here again.Jon2016-02-12T00:00:00Z
Steve's home was exactly what we needed. A beautiful home by the lake, fully furnished, cozy and clean, after some days of hard work it was a pleasure coming home to relax. Couldn't think of a better place to stay, hope to be back soon!David2016-10-19T00:00:00Z
Interacting with Steve was a great experience and the accommodations were excellent. The view of the lake is a treat to wake up to and the surrounding grounds are peaceful.Sean2016-03-26T00:00:00Z
We used the house for a company retreat and we had an excellent stay. The location was convenient, the property was very comfortable and clean, and the house was well-equipped so that we wanted for nothing during our stay.Mark2016-07-21T00:00:00Z
Steve's house was great for a weekend with friends. Beautiful view of the lake, plenty of space, clean, not to mention the hot tub! Steve was available via text the whole stay.Molly2016-01-19T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place with an amazing location. We very much enjoyed our stay at Steve's house!Mie Elmkvist2017-05-09T00:00:00Z
Man! What an awesome place. It was so damn relaxing. I sat out on the giant porch every night staring at the lake. Steve has a fire pit and tons of wood. Those cold nights are perfect for fires. And then it got warm and I took the canoe out on the lake during the day, which was TONS of fun. I'm telling you. It's 15 minutes from Mall of America. There are 3 great bedrooms, a beautiful kitchen, the fire pit and porch, the lake. And it's all alone. There's nobody on either side of you so it's like you're in the woods by yourself but instead of a tent, you have a giant, modern house. I'm telling you, this place was great. I'm using the hot tub next time.Ari2014-05-20T00:00:00Z
Stayed here for an extended family get-together over New Years and completely felt right at home. The house is warm and inviting and includes all the amenities you need and the hot tub was a great bonus! The setting is beautiful on the lake yet right in the metro area. A great way to bring everyone together under one roof and create fond memories!Melissa2015-01-02T00:00:00Z

Sean is a superb host. He is kind hearted and welcoming. The room and the house exceeded my expectations.Sergey2016-04-30T00:00:00Z
Sean and Scorch instantly made us feel welcome. The compound has its own time/space continuoum. It is as if it only exists for you. We stayed in the master suite. The bed was very cozy. The bathroom was incredable! (We used the showers...there are 2!) Sean even personalized our stay with wine and balloons for our belated Valentine's Day! We were out late (nearly 3am) but had no trouble getting back in since we took the time to visit with them before we left. Scorch didnt even bark when we came in. The next morning, late, after a lovely sleep, she did come up to say hello, when she knew we were up. She is just too sweet! We will absolutely stay again. If you are looking for a unique, welcoming, beautiful EXPERIENCE I recommend you do the same.Betsy2014-02-24T00:00:00Z
Tom and I really enjoyed our stay at The Manor. Sean is an excellent host and Scorch is a terrific pooch! The accommodations, even though a "work in progress", are quite pleasant and comfortable. Unfortunately, the weather was hideously hot when we were there but relaxing in the yard, under big, old trees watching the dogs frolic and enjoying engaging conversation was wonderful respite. We definitely will stay with Sean when next we travel to the Twin Cities.Susan2012-07-03T00:00:00Z

Sean was a good host. He was very friendly and attentive to my needs.The place was clean and the room was great. I also got to attend a ghost hunt... So if you believe in the afterworld, The Manor might be where you can witness paranormal activity, or enjoy the presence of Sean's adorable dog, Scorch.Loic2013-10-16T00:00:00Z
My partner and I recently stayed with Sean and we had a wonderful time! The Manor is full of beautiful, fascinating detail and is the perfect, peaceful getaway right in St. Paul. Sean was quick to respond & accommodate us and was happy to share his artwork and interesting facts about the property. We enjoyed our stay at the Manor & were especially fond of Scorch, Sean's sweet pup. Highly recommended!Joshua2016-05-29T00:00:00Z
What a fantastic place! Don't let the exterior pic fool you into thinking it's some kind of creepy old mini-castle. Over the past few years, Sean has taken an older home and -- with his own bare hands and a mind for repurposing available materials -- upgraded/modernized it in extremely creative ways and with superior attention to detail. I left his place thinking, "I could live there." Sean is certainly no newcomer to Airbnb hosting -- gave me a comprehensive tour of the place upon my arrival, and provided all a guest on travel could want during my stay. The world needs more people like Sean, and more places like "The Manor." Oh, and his dog Scorch is as friendly as "man's best friend" comes!Curt2015-11-24T00:00:00Z
Sean was very welcoming as well as his very friendly dog Scorch. The room was very much as described, very clean and the bed was nice and comfortable. The house is very unique and it's interesting to see all that Sean has done so far and his plans for more work. Location is good with easy access to most everything. Thanks Sean and I look forward to another visit.Douglas2015-08-31T00:00:00Z

The home apartment was lovely, accurately described. Check-in was convenient and simple. Walkable to many great restaurants and coffee shops. Colin provided us with a lovely coffee selection and bodum/grinder, which was appreciated!Erin2016-05-10T00:00:00Z
Colin was there to welcome us and every detail was as promised. The house has fascinating art to beguile the eye. The bed is comfortable. The apartment was an oasis for weary travelers to catch up on laundry and walk to everything we needed.Victoria2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I were in Minneapolis for a little vacation. This apartment was full of eclectic art and had everything we needed and more! Colin even left little snacks and plenty of reading material out. He truly thought of everything. Downtown is close, but just far enough away and plenty of fun spots are within walking distance on Eat Street. We would definitely stay here again when we pass through town.Cassandra2016-03-30T00:00:00Z
Colin was a great host, always responding quickly. The place is GREAT. Comfy bed, great shower, quiet and peaceful. Colin thoughtfully provides cold filtered water and some snacks. Everything you need is here, in a compact space, quite artfully arranged. During the recent hot spell, I especially appreciated the fan--small but powerful! The neighborhood...WOW. Every type of eating you can imagine within an easy walk, including a great organic cafe/grocery store. A wonderful stay!Lisa2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
Colin and Lisa were very friendly. This place was everything that we needed. The back yard is really nice as well. We had our 16 month old with us and everything met our needs. Thanks again!Brittany2015-07-24T00:00:00Z
Cozy and well designed space in an exciting area of Minneapolis that would have otherwise gone unexplored. Short cab ride from downtown and very accesible.Abraham2015-10-08T00:00:00Z
You are steps away from amazing food, music, and art. The bed was large and very comfortable. The apartment was very clean and with all the amenities expected. Parking was easy.

Zach and Betsy have a really cool place, super convenient for hanging out in the Northeast, Uptown, and Downtown (I never paid more than $6 for a Lyft). Super easy and convenient check-in. Glad to have stayed here!Sam2016-12-09T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay at Zach and Betsy's! We arrived later than expected because we hit a terrible snow storm. They were very accommodating and gave us all the information we needed so we could arrive at whatever time. The space is very comfortable and spacious! We loved how close it was to the US bank stadium. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to anyone!Paula2016-12-19T00:00:00Z
Zach and Betsy were so hospitable and easygoing, especially by making check in and out super easy when my flights were delayed! My favorite part of staying with Zach and Betsy was the sample itinerary they left. I followed it in the morning and was led to a delicious diner (seriously, go to Maria's!!) and cute coffee shop.Melanie2017-01-20T00:00:00Z
This space was super comfortable--easy to get to. The hosts were very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.Rachel2016-09-29T00:00:00Z
Zachary and Betsy are very helpful and accesible. The loft is very cool a little warm in the summer but they try to keep it cool with AC units. The neighborhood is a bit seedy and we were a little nervous when we first arrived but we figured if they feel comfortable raising a child there then it must not be so bad. I would just suggest not walking around at night, although we did walk home from downtown one night and nothing happened. Overall a good stay.Elizabeth2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

This was my second time staying here, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. I'm not surprised that the place is hard to book. Great value!Richard2015-11-20T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay here. Unique style and it was so comfortable. The neighborhood had everything you could need in a short walking distance, great restaurants, bars, breweries, parks. I also loved how easily accessible it was to the rest of the city by bus, walking and real close to bike share stations. Super thankful to have found such nice people and a great place to stay. Perfect for someone who loves to get out and see all Minneapolis has to offer while providing relaxing atmosphere to come back to. Can't recommend enough!Erin2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
This place is great! Very private but Katherine and Peter are right below if you need anything. They were very considerate of my specific needs. The guide book they created is AWESOME! Wonderful recommendations of restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood. I wish I had more free time to hang out in the apartment because it's so comfortable and cozy!Julie2016-05-13T00:00:00Z
We really loved our stay at the Corner Store. The hosts are so incredibly nice and responded so quickly to any questions or needs. The space is light, airy, open and was perfect for us. The hosts made sure all of the extra touches were attended to- really nice coffee, fresh flowers and even met us when we arrived for a tour. We spent quite a bit of time hanging out in the apartment and it was an ideal space to hang out and work and is also ideally located to many things throughout Minneapolis. Street parking is extra easy and we loved the back deck and outdoor spaces as well. If we return to Minneapolis, we'd stay there again for sure!Courtney2015-09-23T00:00:00Z
Very comfortable place to stay, good beds, comfy and attractive living area, all just like the photos. Open and airy, all of the windows let in a lot of sunlight. Would definitely return!Janet2016-03-06T00:00:00Z
Peter and Kathryn's place was heavenly!! It was clean, creative and comfortable! I was able to chill out and watch netflix and feel right at home! I slept amazingly well in their apartment too! I also loved, and this was the first time I saw someone incorporate this feature, that they had great speakers for me to plug my phone into. Everything was super easy to use too and they were friendly and communicative! I highly recommend this place for business travel or just for fun!! I only wish I had had more time to enjoy the apartment and the surroundings!Christy2017-02-03T00:00:00Z
It was so lovely to stay at Pete and Katie's place. We didn't get the chance to meet them but the instructions were clear and the apartment was beautiful. Definitely a candidate for Super Hosts. We loved their style and the location. Parking was on the street but it was a quiet neighbourhood and safe. There's a good bike/running trail near by to take you along the Mississippi. North East MPLS meant plenty of great breweries in the area too! We would totally recommend staying here if you're looking for a nice sunny apartment in a great NE location.Michael & Jane2015-05-03T00:00:00Z

We had an outstanding experience at Dennie and Kevin's Airbnb. The space was beautifully decorated, inviting, comfortable, and a pleasant home away from home. We felt welcomed the minute we arrived. Dennie and Kevin pay attention to details: a well-equipped kitchen, supplied with paper products as well as refreshments, fruit, cookies and ground coffee to get us started in the morning; the bathroom prepared with lots of towels, lovely soaps and shampoo; the entire space neat and spotless; the outdoor living area a serene place to watch birds, water flowing, and trees budding. But the best part is the sense of feeling at home that Dennie and Kevin create with their generous hospitality. This is definitely on our "return to" list! Thanks for a great stay, Dennie and Kevin!Janelle2014-05-08T00:00:00Z
Dennie and Kevin were great hosts. Their home is beautiful and the space worked great for our family. If your visiting MSP would highly recommendKristin2014-12-20T00:00:00Z
Dennie and Kevin provided a beautiful respite for my partner and I to reconnect with an old friend and her daughter. They were very responsive, open to questions prior to our reservation and welcoming and informative once we arrived. We arrived on a Sunday to find wine and snacks (much appreciated based on the state's liquor laws) inside their beautiful and immaculately clean home. The garden was a lovely addition (absolutely stunning) and something our little one quite enjoyed. We had a wonderful dinner at Sparks on that first night and found the corner market a perfect place to buy some staples for our short stay (both within walking distance). We could not have been more thrilled with the entire experience and would highly recommend their lovely home to anyone looking for a relaxing and very comfortable place stay in Minneapolis.Elspeth2014-09-24T00:00:00Z
Dennie and Kevin are super nice. They care about the guests when you see the house inside. When we checked in, we found a guest notebook written by previous guests about their experiences of stayed in this house. The house is full of memory. Everyone had great experiences. The view of the house is super nice too. Dennie and Kevin take care the garden and it is gorgeous. Certainly recommend this place!James2016-05-19T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place, very spacious, and gorgeous garden. Kevin and Dennie were friendly and accommodating. Thanks for hosting us!Sarah2015-10-01T00:00:00Z
I cannot say enough good things about Dennie and Kevin. They are warm and welcoming, extremely considerate, responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had, and are simply a pleasure to interact with. They were there if we needed them, but left us alone to enjoy our home away from home when we didn't. Their place is indeed a beautiful urban garden and far exceeded our expectations. The gardens are stunning, as are the interior spaces. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen well-equipped. We enjoyed playing pool, which is a rare treat! Bryn Mawr is a lovely neighborhood and felt totally safe. It was a wonderful week in Minneapolis and we hope to stay at Dennie and Kevin's when we return again.Penny2016-06-07T00:00:00Z

Chris's cabin is absolutely amazing! It was so cozy, My wife and are both artists, and it was the perfect space for us to relax, play music together, and recharge from our busy city life! It was so cozy, comfortable, and clean. Chris was also great at suggesting some fun things to do in town! Can't wait to return!Isaak2017-01-03T00:00:00Z
Fabulously located escape from the hustle & bustle of life. Really enjoyed our time spent there. A must return destination. Chris was great he had recommended some fantastic places to eat and we were not disappointed.Nuala 2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
Chris was there to welcome us and show us around. Very helpful but also gave us plenty of privacy. Everything was well prepared. The cabin was very clean and cozy, had everything we needed, the firepits were wonderful - one down at beach and one up on the higher level. The kayaks were great to take out. It was so peaceful and the view was beautiful. Fun to spot eagles! We took Chris and his dad up on a sunset sailboat ride and that was awesome. Great hiking in Frontenac State Park and also took in a day of golf. This was a really wonderful 3 days here. Thank you, Chris, for your hospitality!Mary2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
Chris was a great host. He went out of his way to chop wood for fires and provided us with everything we needed for a nice weekend getaway.Derek2016-03-16T00:00:00Z
Chris's Lakeview House is a great place to enjoy the lake, the eagles, and the surrounding forest and trails. Chris was a fine, friendly, helpful host. The house is cozy, with everything you could want for a comfortable escape. We had a great time and hope to return soon.Brian2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
My husband and I stayed at the Lakeview Cottage this past weekend. It was perfect! Chris reached out prior to our arrival to ask what time we'd be at the cabin and if we'd like a fire going for when we got there. When we arrived at the property, he gave us a short tour, told us how to get to the beach, and gave us some spot on dinner recommendations in Red Wing (thank you!). We were left to our own devices for the rest of the weekend, with information on how to contact him if needed. The cabin was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and very cozy with the fireplace. The location is awesome, a very short drive to Red Wing, on a quiet street and the lake views from the cottage could not be beat.Amanda2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
I wrote a review for my first stay earlier this summer. My second stay was just as great! Thank you, Chris.Anna2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

Mike was super kind and attentive to be present for my arrival to welcome me. He offered me fresh fruit and had water for me in the wagon. It was forecasted to be very warm so he offered me an inside sleeping option too. The wagon was really cozy with lots of small touches. I only wish I could have explored the neighborhood and his recommendations more.Stacy2014-07-23T00:00:00Z
The garden gypsy wagon looks so cute and comfortable. I was planning on staying a night while driving through to Wyoming. My plans were set back so I missed out. If ever I come through Minneapolis again though, I'll definitely check if Mike's place is available :)Ashley 2015-04-17T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at the wagon! Mostly spent time in the city and exploring, it was the perfect place to come back to and crash afterwards. Mike is very generous, had banana bread and apples waiting for us - his cat is awesome! Almost tried to sneak her in my bag (she stays out of the wagon, in the house only). Would highly recommend!Rachel2015-09-08T00:00:00Z
The Gypsy Wagon treated me to a good night of sleep and I really enjoyed the library. Mike welcomed me when I arrived and he is a very good natured person. The location is easy to find and close to lots of tasty food options and entertainment. Everything went smoothly.David2015-09-12T00:00:00Z
Mike's backyard wagon was enchanting to say the least. Mike was extremely hospitable, he made us feel right at home in an unfamiliar city. Highly recommend this gem.Stacey2015-06-25T00:00:00Z
Mike was a fun host. He greeted and welcomed us to his home which was very unique and wonderful. The garden setting for the Gypsy wagon was charming, so many whimsical touches and colorful flowers. The wagon itself was amazing, with charming details everywhere. It was compact, yet space for everything. The bed was very comfortable. The location was nice also, close to everything. We had a great time.Christina2015-08-12T00:00:00Z
Mike's little gypsy wagon was as charming as we had hoped. As is Mike himself. We enjoyed our conversation with this alert, curious and convivial host as much as the wagon itself. If you're looking for a truly unique experience, you've got to stay in the gypsy wagon and let Mike entertain you. You will not be disappointed.Jonathan2015-07-06T00:00:00Z
The gypsy wagon was perfect for an overnight stay. It was clean, simple instructions to locate, and a unique experience. Mike made sure we were good to go and gave suggestions for a good happy hour nearby. Would stay again - thank for the experience!Jess2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

Excellent apartment and location in south Minneapolis. Al is a very responsive host who makes the stay very easy.david2015-10-07T00:00:00Z
We had an awesome stay at Al's place. The place is set up to be easy to use for a single night it a long term stay.

Doug's house was awesome. It was very clean and warm when we arrived and the dojo style home was a very relaxing environment to come home to everyday. I would recommend staying here if your ever in the St. Paul area and need a place to crash.Alex2014-03-04T00:00:00Z
This home is an peaceful retreat. Douglas has designed a space that is restorative to the spirit and splendid to the eye. We especially enjoyed looking out into his garden while listening to one of his many cds or reading a book from his carefully curated library. This home will not disappoint.Cathy2015-05-18T00:00:00Z
Great experience. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Nice welcoming touches like the pour over coffee maker and beans laid out by the thorough house details and instructions. If you need to between St Paul and MPLS this is ideal. Our host was also very accommodating to our scheduling needs and very responsive to text and email.Marcel2015-07-01T00:00:00Z

This house is a gem at a very convenient location in the Como neighborhood (Falcon Heights/Roseville). We immediately felt relaxed walking in the front door. Beautiful artifacts, lots of windows, meditation garden and an espresso machine!! Doug's instructions made it very easy to access the house and operate any equipment as well. Would definitely come back!Jeff2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
Douglas took a chance on me as I am a newly registered AirBnB user without reviews. Thank you Douglas! Douglas' home was a paradise, filled with art and furniture and style that totally reflects what I envisioned Douglas was all about! His home was comfortable, clean and a delightful trip into imagination and wonder. From the unique landscaping outside to the exquisitely furnished interior, each and every turn and corner and room was a wonderment. This is a "MUST STAY AT" home!Michael2015-09-22T00:00:00Z

Eric was a very welcoming, gracious host. My boyfriend and I stayed for only one night as we were hiking parts of the area and I wished it would have been longer. The location and house is superb. highly recommend.Morgan2015-07-20T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Eric's home was wonderful! Eric was a delightful host. His cozy home was easy to find yet tucked away in the woods for a lovely retreat. He recommended some great places to eat and see the area. His deck has a beautiful view of the North Shore. We had a magical walk along the shore near his home and watched the full moon rise and the fireflies flicker amongst the wildflowers. Our bedroom was comfortable and inviting. We would recommend Eric's place to friends.Gabriella2016-07-21T00:00:00Z
The cabin was quaint and beautiful. Smelled like grandmas! Was very probate and was much better than staying in a cheap hotel. Had an amazing rooftop deck overlooking superior. Close to downtown but feels very sucluded. Loved the stay and Eric was a very down to earth cool guy! Even made coffee. Would definitely go back.Samantha2016-07-07T00:00:00Z
Eric was very welcoming and accommodating. The private room was large and has beautiful windows overlooking the wooded yard. The location is quiet and relaxing. An added bonus was the rooftop deck which was perfect for our evening viewing of Lake Superior. A short walk brings you to a lovely clearing on the shore of the lake.Tim2015-07-03T00:00:00Z
Eric's home is very private, across a small road from Lake Superior. He welcomed us as we approached and was a most gracious host. He is in the process of renovating the house but it was quite comfortable as is. Eric is an artist and loves to talk about his art, the house, and his plans for the property. A friend and I shared the one available room and he installed a second bed for us. The room was immaculate with windows looking out on the forest (where Eric reported recently seeing a young bear and a family of deer). He offered us the use of the kitchen and living room and introduced us to his friendly cat. He also recommended an excellent restaurant in the neighborhood and told stories about the shore and the prior homeowner. If you're looking for a quiet get-away, you can't go wrong here!Nancy2015-07-23T00:00:00Z
What a great airbnb experience! The cabin is exactly as listed. It was a perfect place for a get away from the cities. It is just a short walk from Lake Superior. The cabin is nestled away in the woods but is conveniently located close to town as well. Eric knows the area really well and is a great host!Else 2016-02-04T00:00:00Z
Eric was great and flexible with my arrival time. The place is unbelievable!! What a beautiful place in a beautiful location. The room was spectacular. I definitely plan a return visit when I can stay longer and take advantage of the scenery. You won't want to leave. :)Kris2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
Eric's house is nestled in a wooded area just off the shoreline. It offers great views of Lake Superior, and easy access to Two Harbors and Duluth via Highway 61 . The room was very clean, quiet, and cozy, and Eric was a wonderful host! He created a welcoming environment and was attentive to our needs. Staying with Eric was a great choice.

We had a couple small issues with the bedroom heat and TV, but both were addressed quickly and completely.

Shawnee did a great job providing all necessary information for a comfortable stay, as well as recommendations and coupons for local restaurants and attractions.Amy2015-03-13T00:00:00Z
Shawnee's place is cozy, comfortable, private, and conveniently located. If you're looking to take a getaway trip for two in MN, look no further! Shawnee is a very professional and accommodating hostess. She provides thorough check-in information and is open to communication if you need her. We enjoyed the proximity to the fun/important places and the comfort and feel of the space when we came home at the end of the day. It was a wonderful stay and we can't recommend Shawnee or her place enough!Sarah2017-01-24T00:00:00Z

Isabelle and Phillip were wonderful hosts, and their home was perfect for our stay! It is very cozy with a nice yard and view of the Mississippi. Would highly recommend.Sarah2015-10-27T00:00:00Z
My sister, brother-in-law, and nephews really enjoyed staying here. It is a beautiful home, and they loved the trampoline and the river (even in December). Philip was very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend their place; and the value is almost unbelievable. (Most places similar to this would charge far more.)Ben2015-12-29T00:00:00Z

This house is very spacious and was very clean. Philip was extremely hospitable and friendly. The location of the house is really ideal; we Ubered everywhere and it was, well, uber convenient. Only the bedrooms are air-conditioned and it was hot our last day and night. Otherwise it was livable in summer weather.Frank2016-06-27T00:00:00Z
What is not to love about this wonderful home! We had the best time. Larger than it looks, cozier than it seems. Area for our son to have adventures overlooking the Mississippi. Our hosts were both sweet and helpful and Isabelle even lent a ukulele to our son during our stay. We are very fortunate to have been able to stay here as this place, for good reason, is booked often. Thank you for an amazing experience.David2015-09-26T00:00:00Z
It was an excellent experience. They were available for any questions or concerns we had. The home was impeccable. Warmer weather and more time would have made it better. And they had no control over that.Atara2016-04-24T00:00:00Z
The house was as described and in a quaint area in the city of Minneapolis. The owner made us feel welcome and greeted us when we arrived. The beds were quite hard and the sheets and blankets had not been changed in awhile, or at lest that was the perception, since they smelled musty and dusty. It was difficult to sleep since the owners lived upstairs and were walking around until 1am and we all (2 adults one child) needed to be up early 6am. Because the house has wood floors it is impossible to not hear them, and every step, so not the fault of the owners just pointing out for informational sake. The backyard had a trampoline, which our son loved, and access to the Mississippi but the dock was not stable enough to go on. The fridge was stocked with breakfast material and was really appreciated that they had that for us, considering we had to leave early in the AM. We only stayed one of the two nights since there was a change in our schedule but no refund was offered. To be fair, we did not request it either, but I assumed the owners would have asked why we left early. It was a pleasant place but I would just suggest changing the comforters and dusting more often, if possible. It also is tough to sleep in the front room since we had a child there and the window would not close. There are lots of people up and cars during night. I think this place is more perfect for others, it just did not fit us.Christopher2016-06-23T00:00:00Z

This is the first Airbnb place I've stayed in where I received a welcome basket! I loved it. Nice touch Ben's girlfriend. He has a great place. Its very cool. I never saw any of the neighbors. Its in a hit inner city neighborhood with Target Field as the next door neighbor. Great experience! Try it!PHILIP2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
Benjamin was nothing short of an exceptional host!!! He went out of his way to ensure that our stay was comfortable. I highly recommended staying with Benjamin!!Robert2016-11-03T00:00:00Z
Benjamin is THE BEST host and his loft is gorgeous. From the moment I booked with him, he was friendly and attentive. The loft is spacious, has a lot of natural light, and cool features (e.g. Spotlights and projectors). The best part of it all is that Benjamin thinks of everything. We brought most of our amenities with us, but the loft was fully stocked with everything guests could possibly want! Benjamin is passionate about hosting and making sure guests have the best time. I will definitely return!Katherine2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
If you're looking for an upscale place for a night on the town, Ben's place couldn't be better. He was the most attentive host I've had to date, he even offered to pick up some groceries the night prior. Kitchen / Bathroom were well-stocked, and the space is just plain neat. Would definitely go with Ben again in the future.Patrick2017-03-09T00:00:00Z
Benjamin was gracious enough to open up his space for my birthday which made my day even more memorable!The location is fantastic, within walking distance to a wide variety of fun restaurants and bars!

Our Finland trip was everything we hoped it to be! The cabin was perfect, secluded, and properly represented in the listing. The fresh snow added to the beautiful scenery as well. We spent most of our time on the snowmobile trails, which were easily accessible from the cabin. Overall we were very happy with our experience!Sabrina2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
Little cabin in the woods, very remote and secluded location. Perfect for nature lovers. The only bad part was some garbage left around the house, an old toilet ( there is already an old dry toilet from before also ), old pots of paints, plastic bags scattered, not very "natural". The inside is as stated, nice and big windows. There are useful books about the area . The dishes are old, the pans very old so if you are a clean freak bring your own. The only uncomfortable part inside was the bed which is extremely dirty and old. Also bring your own pillows ( on top of the sheets, blankets and towels as stated in the instructions ). Monika is very quick to answer emails and when we needed glasses, she sent her friend to bring some to us.Gaële2012-11-18T00:00:00Z
Monika was quick to reply to our inquiry and to answer our questions. The cabin was exactly as described. The quiet woods with the babbling Baptism River was the perfect retreat to the Northwoods.chelsea2014-07-05T00:00:00Z
This was a lovely cabin in a beautiful setting available for a good value. Everything was comfortable and convenient. Monika was easy to communicate with by email, and flexible about our arrival time. The co-op in town was quite convenient. I would suggest eating in Beaver Bay or cooking dinner in the cabin, as we couldn't find anything terribly good as far as restaurants in town.Minke2015-07-03T00:00:00Z
Great cabin getaway in the North woods! Very relaxing.Chad2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
Loved this little place! My husband and I booked this cabin to get away from Red Bull's Crashed Ice event that takes places next to our home in St. Paul.:-{ The cabin is perfect and my dog Loki loved exploring around the yard. It's cozy and has personality. The furniture was comfy and the cabin was tidy. The surrounding area was beautiful. We didn't do much cooking, but I do suggest bringing everything you need for meals (salt, sugar for coffee, foil, baggies, etc). Highway 61 is an easy drive to and from the cabin, and there are plenty of available stores and restaurants for whatever you need. We enjoyed the sauna - I recommend 2 bags of wood to get the sauna going, and keep it going - available at the co-op for $5 a bag. There were lots of snowmobiles about; we could hear them, but they weren't close to the cabin. We hope to go back again. Thanks!Betsy2016-02-29T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I had an amazing trip this last weekend. Everything was better than I expected. The full kitchen was great, we cooked every meal. It was a great location, secluded in the woods but close enough to town and great parks. We hiked at Tettegouche State Park and it was beautiful. I would love to come back, thank you Monika!Stacia2014-12-08T00:00:00Z

Charming house in a nice quiet neighborhood with easy access to Uptown and downtown. Parking was easy and check-in was a breeze. The breakfast items were a nice touch. The house is really cool, with the original woodwork, and the staircase is beautiful. One thing to note is that there are two beds and an upper level bunkbed. The other beds included in the count are an air mattress and a pull-out couch. I think having 8 people stay here would be a stretch. That would probably work well for a group of young friends, but I could have used a bit more privacy while traveling with my boyfriend's family. Overall our stay was pleasant. Al was very communicative and friendly.Amanda2016-11-21T00:00:00Z

The apartment is so amazingly comfortable and beautiful, we couldn't believe it, when we walked in. The kitchen area is huge, which was perfect because we were able to have our daughter over and made an impromptu Easter dinner. We were even able to have her stay the night spontaneously, as there was a spare air mattress. The apartment is in a lovely house, close to great restaurants and the museum. We walked everywhere with ease and felt very much at home. Colin was very helpful and friendly and responded quickly when we had questions. He has obviously worked very hard to create an artistic and cozy space for visitors to Minneapolis. Thanks Colin!Janette2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

Just two days ahead of regional elections in Catalonia, Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría on Friday did nothing to quell the political ruckus raised by a dubious report, which is unsigned, unstamped and not addressed to anyone, suggesting that Catalan premier Artur Mas is corrupt.
During a news conference after the regular Cabinet meeting, Sáenz de Santamaría was asked five times about the "phantom" draft report insinuating that Mas and former Catalan premier Jordi Pujol have secret bank accounts in Switzerland where they reportedly deposited kickbacks-for contracts money.
Without mentioning Mas by name, Sáenz de Santamaría said that in line with the government's current anti-fraud campaign, "the first thing that those who have overseas bank accounts must do is to declare them."
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was more circumspect. "Allow me not to contribute more to this spectacle," he said.
The report does carry a supposed employee number, which has been redacted. But police sources say that no officer would ever include this number in a report without adding their signature and a stamp.
Sources involved in the case suspect that no one in the National Police's economic and tax delinquency squad (UDEF) compiled the report. The head of the UDEF, Manuel Vázquez, has already told a judge that he believes no one in his department was responsible for the document.
The money that Mas and Pujol supposedly received, according to the document, came from the so-called Palau case, in which Mas' center-right nationalist coalition CiU is alleged to have received kickbacks for awarding contracts.
However, the details contained in the phantom report do not provide any new information about the Palau case, otherwise this would have been passed on to the investigating judge.
After a 24-hour investigation, the Interior Ministry confirmed that they had no record of the report, but the content, as reported by Spanish daily El Mundo, contained information about the case from the internet and from other minutes.
Vázquez corroborated comments by the Interior Ministry to the effect that the report appeared to have been drawn up outside normal procedures of the UDEF.
The existence of the draft report was announced last week by El Mundo, just 10 days ahead of the Catalan regional elections, due to take place on November 25.
Mas has attributed the furor sparked by the report to a ploy of the "sewers" of the state to try to influence the outcome of the elections, in which the CiU is hoping to garner an absolute majority in order to push ahead with plans to hold a referendum on independence for Catalonia. Opinion polls suggest Mas will fall short of what he needs.

Kolkata, July 19 (IANS) Amid sporadic violence, around 40 percent of voters exercised their franchise till 2 p.m. in the ongoing third phase of the West Bengal panchayat elections Friday.
Three neighbouring districts - North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas and Howrah - went to the hustings to elect about 13,000 representatives to the village councils, the third tier of India's electoral democracy.
Till 2 p.m., 41.31 percent votes were cast in Howrah, 40.58 percent in North 24 Parganas and 38.11 percent in South 24 Parganas, a State Election Commission official said.
Bombs were hurled outside a polling booth in Udaynarayanpur of Howrah district. A CPI-M polling agent was taken to hospital after he was beaten up at Bilkanda in North 24 Parganas district.
Police claimed there have been no major incidents of violence.
"There have been minor incidents," said Bani Brata Basu, the additional director general of police.
The CPI-M put up road blocks in Dunlop and Naihati and blockaded the Shyamnagar railway station of North 24 Parganas protesting against alleged "rampant violence" and rigging by the Trinamool Congress.
The Trinamool denied the allegations.
Nearly one crore voters are eligible to chose their nominees in 12,656 booths in round three of the rural polls.
Over 37,500 candidates are in the fray, with the main contest likely to be between the Trinamool Congress and the opposition Left Front led by the Communist Party of India-Marxist.
Besides 50,000 security personnel, comprising 15,000 central paratroopers and the rest from the state armed police force, the central government has dispatched 4,500 additional reinforcements.
The first two phases were held July 11 and July 15.. Polling for the next rounds will be July 22 and 25. Votes will be counted July 29.

THE grand opening of a Basingstoke luxury care home was toasted with Champagne and celebrated with a spot of dancing.
Pemberley House – a new 72-bed boutique-style care home – was officially opened with a 1940s-themed Champagne reception and dance.
Helping guests, residents and staff to get 'in the mood' was Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane Councillor Dan Putty, who joined in the tea dance, before declaring the home, in Grove Road, officially open.
Cllr Putty said: "Pemberley House is an exceptional place to live. It's impressive with large and well-designed fully-equipped apartments, and caters for all of the needs of the residents, offering professional nursing care and activities."
The £6million home, run by luxury care home provider Gracewell Healthcare, has created 70 new jobs.
The home was named by pupils from nearby St John's Primary School – Pemberley being the fictional Derbyshire estate of Mr Darcy, from local novelist Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
The rooms have been inspired by movie legends such as Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe, and they combine boutique hotel interior design with innovative specialist care facilities and services.
Among many innovative features, the new home includes a luxurious hair and beauty spa, a nail bar, a chic cafe, a library and WiFi.
Gracewell chief executive officer Peter Curtis said he is very proud of Pemberley House.
He said: "It's about the people within the building and that is what's really important, and what the team here are working hard to do is give the care the residents deserve.
"We are always looking to do the right things and to listen to the feedback we get from the residents.
"I'm very grateful to the team here who really do go above and beyond – they do their best. When they see the smiles on people's faces and know they can make a difference to their lives – that's when we realise that our sector is a good industry."

Action Against Hunger International Network Demands Full Inquiry Into Muttur "War Crime"
Following the terrible massacre of 17 Action Against Hunger employees in Muttur (Trincomalee district),Action Against Hunger - France organized a press conference in Paris, with Jean-Christophe Rufin (Honorary President), Benoit Miribel (Action Against Hunger - France Executive Director) and Thomas Gonnet, Head of Operations in the Paris office on Wednesday the 9th of August.
"The Muttur massacre is a 'war crime' that should not be trivialized"
"We remained moderate with our discussions and disclosures on Monday, August 7, given that we still did not have access to the area and could not recover the bodies of the victims," declared Jean-Christophe Rufin. "Now the facts have been established - this is an appalling crime, a deliberate murder of employees of Action Against Hunger who have been massacred intentionally. They were victims of a double violation: of their lives and of the 'sacred' space that a humanitarian office represents." The President of Action Against Hunger - France also made clear that "the deaths of our staff members should not allow us to forget those of the civilians, around 500 people, who died in Muttur last week."
Above all, Rufin insisted that this horrible act should not be "trivialized": "The Muttur massacre should not be seen as a 'professional risk' or a 'humanitarian danger". This is in fact a turn in the history of humanitarian action. The values that we uphold have not been respected by the murderers. Action Against Hunger International Network defends a humanitarian approach which is not about sending cash from the West, but rather to work directly with the community. This is where the challenge lies. Some prefer humanitarianism that just pays cash to one that also witnesses."
"We are not making any assumptions nor will we be letting go. We shall get to the bottom of all that has happened. It is also in the interest of Sri Lanka." To all Action Against Hunger teams throughout the world, to all the national and international staff, it is important to have complete insight in to what has really happened," continued Rufin. "We have asked the United Nations to be associated with the independent inquiry. We want to know who the killers are. For the time being we do not make any assumptions. We will inform the press on the proceedings of the inquiry every month until we have a complete insight into what has happened."
"It is not going to be straightforward; Sri Lanka is not united, nor are the parties within the conflict. There are some hardline positions, and others that are less so. But it is in Sri Lanka's own interest to succeed in clarifying this matter. The continuity of aid to Sri Lanka may be compromised; answers will determine the survival of humanitarian action in this country."
"The team was trapped, blocked at the base by the fighting"
Rufin insisted again on the circumstances that are currently known: "It was a trap. The teams were forced into a courtyard and executed in a methodical way. Seventeen people! This is long and painful! We have seen blunders, the so-called collateral damage, but this is a pure and simple execution."
"The programs have been suspended, the teams are grieving," said Benoit Miribel, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger - France, now on his way to the area. Benoit Miribel, who left Paris for Colombo on Wednesday afternoon, closed by explaining: "Our programs are suspended, the teams are at home, grieving. I am going to the area to meet the Sri Lankan authorities, to oversee the launch of a transparent and independent inquiry, and also to evaluate the continuation of our activities in the area, in light of the current security conditions."
Jean-Christophe Rufin concluded: "The decision whether to withdraw from the country will not be taken by Action Against Hunger International Network alone. We have to consult the other humanitarian actors present in the country, our partners and major donors, such as the European Commission, who should help us secure a full insight into what happened and for guaranteeing the security of humanitarian operations."
Ceremonies will take place on Friday, August 11, at 1:00 p.m. Paris time (7:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Savings time) in memory of the 17 staff members of Action Against Hunger - France, in Colombo and in Trincomalee, in the presence of Benoit Miribel, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger - France. All missions and bases of Action Against Hunger International Network throughout the world will respect a minute's silence. Action Against Hunger International Network asks the NGO community to do the same.

WASHINGTON – Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, posted on Facebook on Friday night that her sister, who is running for the Senate in Wyoming, is "dead wrong" to oppose same-sex marriage.
Liz Cheney, who is opposing Republican Sen. Mike Enzi in a primary next year, released a statement earlier in the week saying: "I am strongly pro-life and I am not pro-gay marriage. I believe the issue of marriage must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states." Cheney issued the statement after a poll conducted with voters raised the question of where she stands on same-sex marriage.
Mary Cheney married her longtime partner, Heather Poe, last year in Washington. Their father announced in June 2009 that he backed same-sex marriage, though he thought it was a decision best left to the states.
"For the record, I love my sister, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage," Mary Cheney wrote on Facebook. "Freedom means freedom for everyone," she added. "That means that all families are entitled to the same rights, privileges and protections as every other."

Arts Magazine: The Academic Dialogue
From Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program
The Academic Dialogue: Academic realists look to the ideas and techniques of the past to depict the objective world
Recently, a contemporary environmental artist began his lecture at the Walker Art Center by hurling mud at a landscape painting. Defacing it with the nature which it mimics, he punished the painting for its mimicry. To a group of painters known as academic realists, this gesture symbolizes the dichotomy between modern-day conceptual artistic attitudes and the realistic traditions of earlier centuries.
"The Academic Dialogue," an exhibition that opens in the Minnesota Gallery on December 21, 1990 highlights the work of 15 Minnesota artists who, using the styles of earlier masters, search for a form of visual representation that is unaffected by contemporary notions of space and abstraction.
Linked philosophically to the French and Italian academic traditions, academic realism involves a systematic approach to the depiction of the objective world. Academic realists seek technical virtuosity through disciplined training in an art school or atelier, where they learn composition, theory of line and color, canvas preparation skills and such techniques as glazing, scumbling and varnishing.
They learn how to methodically create an image with the use of calipers, sight-sizing and other measuring devices. Using linear perspective, they effect a two-dimensional rendering that recedes into the background towards a vanishing point. Often the subject matter is nature or the human figure, rendered with objective accuracy.
At the turn of the century, the academic tradition was challenged by other attitudes and artistic representation and fell into relative obscurity. Today's academic realists paint portraits, still lifes, genre scenes and fantasy paintings. They search for the solidity and slower pace of the pre-Cubist world.
In Interior Nude, 1990, by Lisa Bormann, a woman grooms her hair on a bed, her back to the viewer. The painting's soft blues and warm reds create a tranquil effect. The diagonal pattern of the bed cover's stripes and the vertical folds of the drapes focus on the woman's curvaceous form. Bormann allows the viewer into an intimate setting by pushing the bed forward through the picture plane.
Beautiful color and line-primary goals of this movement-are used by Jerry Rudquist to unify subject and object. In the self-portrait, Descriptive Study/The Artist, 1989, he explores the form of his face using a painterly style. The hand of he artist is evident in the strokes of green, red and ochre that define the portrait.
Like a 17th-century Dutch still life, Stephen Gjertson's painting April Bouquets, 1987, combines forms and color with the fragrances, tastes and tactile qualities of the objects it depicts to create a full sensory experience. However, Gjertson's flowers are placed within a vessel painted with similar flowers, which is more of a play on abstract imagery than would occur in the art of the 17th century.
Mike Lynch's Duck, 1984, depicts a duck decoy that rests on a stepladder. Using subtle shades of gray and green, Lynch creates a soft and glowing still life. The artist's composition suggests the dichotomy between nature and culture. The decoy, itself an image of a real duck, is transformed into an object we admire for its form by the ladder, which functions in the painting as a pedestal.
In his Wagnerian-scale triptych Day of Wrath, 1990, Richard Lack symbolizes world destruction with a Post-Modern pastiche of German romanticism, Christian, Egyptian and classical mythology. According to Lack, the symbols of a male shadow and female dragon imply destruction by fire. The left panel of the triptych depicts the revelation of St. John, which according to Lack, hints at apocalypse.
Today, paintings can not offend because photography now conveys visual reality. The critic Robert Hughes recently argued in the New Republic that Mapplethorpe photos offend for that reason.
Nevertheless, academic realists look to a world that respects nature as it is. They revere the human form, perhaps hoping that humans may be perfectible. As a movement, it searches for a world more paced by the human heartbeat.
Jim Billings is a critic and art appraiser based in the Twin Cities.
There will be a special opening reception, free and open to the public, for "The Academic Dialogue" on Thursday, December 20 from 7 until 9 P.M.
The Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP) is directed by a revolving panel of seven artists, elected for two-year terms by and from Minnesota's artist community. The Artist Panel is responsible for selecting exhibitions and directing the overall policy of the program. The Panel selects exhibitions in one of three ways: by accepting a proposal submitted by an artist or a group of artist; by curating a group exhibition; or by assigning a guest curator to organize an exhibition.
"The Academic Dialogue" was curated by artist panel member Tim Iverson. Mr. Iverson has served on the panel in 1989 and in 1990.

Space Saver Rolling Storage Carts: for storing and organizing, canvases, panels, matted or mounted artwork, framed and unframed, finished and unfinished canvas, boards and pads, large portfolio cases — virtually anything! An invaluable space saver and organizer for artist studios, art school classes, frame shops, galleries, outdoor fairs and more!
The Original Space Rover is constructed of heavy gauge steel that is powder coated in a smooth silver finish. It incorporates 10 vertical dividing braces providing 8 areas for storing a massive amount of artwork either finished or unfinished. Four super-smooth lockable casters allow for easy mobility in and out of the studio. In the artist's studio or classroom, The Space Rover creates space and organizes like no other piece of furniture can! It will easily hold a huge array of canvases and panels that have yet to be painted, can hold finished works of art that are thoroughly dry, will hold pads and portfolios and is a drying rack for freshly painted pieces. It may be wheeled right next to your work area and set out of the way. Artists working in larger studios may want one to store their canvases getting them off the floor and another for all their other needs.
The Space Rover 2 was developed to meet the many requirements of artists looking for an equally convenient paper storage system. Our search for a companion to our vastly popular Original Space Rover was quite a journey. When we asked artists what they needed they combined the need for open access to paper and boards with space efficiency and a way to move supplies about at the same time. They also wanted to be able to safely remove the last board or sheet without damaging it and wanted to be able to hold printmaking and watercolor sheets with deckle edges 22×30" in size and have a safe margin for error when placing them inside. As you can imagine each request came after a model was made and the wish list kept on coming. We didn't stop making our models until they were totally satisfied and all their wishes came true. We think you'll agree this is one handy unit! Simple assembly required.

A wide-ranging employer push to allow shorter minimum shifts for part-time and casual workers has begun, despite strong opposition from trade unions.
The Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry is seeking to insert clauses in about 80 modernised awards that would allow working hours to be varied with the agreement of individual employees.
VECCI has applied to Fair Work Australia to vary awards across a wide range of industries in a broader push for workplace flexibility than the separate case, whereby employers are seeking shorter minimum shifts for school-age retail workers.
The modernised awards mostly set a three-hour minimum shift and FWA has cited concerns about the need to set a minimum safety net to protect all workers when considering applications for change.
VECCI argues it is not seeking to remove the minimum safety net but to boost workforce participation by a range of employees – such as school students, older workers, parents with childcare responsibilities and disabled workers. It argues FWA is required to promote "social equity'', and such workers would "be more able to engage in the labour force on their own terms, where an employer is able to provide condensed or varied minimum engagements''.
The ACTU flagged in a preliminary FWA hearing in Melbourne yesterday that it would seek to strike out the VECCI application, with the support of many individual unions.
ACTU advocate Joel Fetter argued that VECCI did not have the legal standing to take the case, and that the employer group was seeking to "relitigate'' arguments that had already been considered by the tribunal during the award modernisation process. He said the application had no reasonable prospect of success and should be struck out.
However, VECCI's advocate, Mark McKenney, argued that the strike-out application was premature given that the employer group had not yet detailed its case and a final decision had not been made in the test case involving school-age retail workers.
FWA president
Justice Giudice said he would issue directions giving VECCI a period of time to outline its arguments. The employer group has sought between six to eight weeks.
