Johann Friedrich Blumenbach was a German naturalist and anthropologist whose work on comparative anatomy greatly impacted the development of anthropology as a science in the 19th century. He was invited to examine Egyptian mummies at the British Museum. He did six dissections. "Blumenbach. . believed he could deduce all manner of details â€“ race sex and beauty â€“ from the smooth calciferous plates of the human skull. What he bel`ieved he found in terms of racial types was decidedly intermediate. The maxillae bones of the upper jaw were 'prominent but by no means so much as a true Guinea face; and not more so than is often seen on handsome negroes and not seldom on European countenances.'" - Michael F.

"Marcia Marx 1931-2005 was an American artist. Born in Newark New Jersey she attended Yale School of Art and Columbia University. After completing her studies Marcia Marx moved to Mexico City where she lived for more than ten years and received much of her inspiration. Marx frequently painted "Felliniesque characters and impressions" in her works often using modernist techniques. "Blue Figures In The Studio" is one such example. As a "visual satirist" Marcia Marx's works paintings and sculptures showed a sense of the ridiculous and an eye for the bizarre and comedic elements in the human experience. Marx's works clearly reflected her strong mastery of medium and message. As an artist Marcia Marx was versatile with an assortment of media ranging from paints to clay and left the "storytelling" and interpretation to the public - "No matter what I was thinking when I created it the viewer writes his or her own script making it a far more intriguing experience" the artist once stated. She was the first woman to have a one-person show at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes which Time magazine called a "smash hit". She was also one of six artists featured Cosmopolitan's article "Women Artists Today" which also included Georgia O'Keeffe and Louise Nevelson. Prior to her death on May 3 2005 in New York City after a two-year battle with cancer Marcia Marx participated in two major exhibitions. A highly successful retrospective of her art was held at the Mexican Cultural Institute of New York in 2002 which was documented by a well-written color catalog and her works were featured in a one-person show "An Interpretation of the Holocaust" at the Houston Holocaust Museum from October 2004-January 2005. When it was confirmed that Marcia Marx's works would be exhibited at the Houston Holocaust Museum the museum's executive director Susan Llanes-Myers exclaimed "We are so pleased to have Marcia Marx's art at out museum. Her work strikingly portrays a sense of remembrance a core of our mission." Art critic Donald Kuspit an art critic concurred stating that her works "have a disturbing poignancy not only because of their imagery but because of their intense physicality. Remembrance is Marx's theme. Her works are saturated in memory. unsettling as well as consoling." During her career Marcia Marx worked in Mexico City Israel Paris Rome and New York City. Her works have been exhibited around the world and are held in many private and public collections. Mexican Cultural Institute of New York paperback books
