i am a staff member of the san francisco arts commission. >> you advise the arts commission? >> the commission itself takes the panel recommendation. if there is a complaint or if the commission feels in someway that decisions were not made to, that they felt followed proper protocol then the commission would take it on as a body. >> would it be proper protocol that applicants that applied would receive a grant? >> i'm not sure i understand. >> of all the grants that were awarded how many were eligible? >> all of them. the organization were for those that resided in the bayview hunters point community. all access are delivering programs in the bayview hunters community. >> i believe i heard that none of them were active in the bayview hunters point community. >> you never received complaints from anyone. single family house -- i have received no formal complaints. we received one as far as the sunshine question and we responded to in a timely manner. >> i'm confused because i'm hearing how unfair the process has been and no. 2, nobody in the bayview community received a grant

an arts steering committee. so all that comes in the arts commission, we run that through our arts committee which is made up of members of all six departments of the puc, all three enterprises and business service units. that's something that we are absolutely taking your point from before my time at the puc around the importance of the alignment around our goals and mission. that's something we do and i work very close with the arts commission in the community arts program as well as the arts program. >> what i want to illustrate again is that without our coordination with the arts commission, the communities probably wouldn't have opportunity to receive any of these funds. so now we are making it available and of course it is not enough. so you are going to have people really want to get this process in a way that they can provide some input. >> my last thought on the item is i heard some great thoughts from my colleagues, especially commissioner moran who honed in on the fact that it's highly likely that the

they held that art should not be for art's sake alone, but should have a moral and educative content.his viewpoint, which heralded the role art would play in the revolution, was shared by great french thinkers of the time-- voltaire, who spent his life opposing the tyranny of church and state. rousseau, who believed nature to be the source of all good. for him, society was the reason man was born free, but everywhere is in chains. didederot, who in his encyclopea attempted to scrutinize all natural phenomena in the light of reason. diderot's attack on boucher's provocative odalisque reads like a modern attack on pornography. "today's moral decadence," he said, "has led step by step "to the corruption of taste, of color, of composition, "of character, of expression. "this man has no taste. he takes up his brush only to show bottoms and breasts." for diderot, artists like greuze pointed the way forward to a new art, new taste, new morality. his pictures are part of the growth of a new climate in france, part of those almost imperceptible changes in history of which great events like the

gros was a pupil of david, but his art is quite different of david's art. here you have the battlefield of eylau the day after the battle. of course, the hero of the battle, napoleon, is in the middle of the picture. there is not only the victor of the battle, but also the victims of the battle. that's new in french art-- to present human beings, dead soldiers, as they were after this terrible battle. this will open all the tradition in the 19th-century french art, but gros was the first in french art to do so, and he did so in a very moving, touching way. now the once glorious napoleonic armies began their retreat from moscow to waterloo. with defeat, the french began to identify themselves with those fallen foreground figures-- with the anonymous victims rather than with glories of bonaparte. myths of heroic or noble ends turned into deceptions, and more often than not, only pointless suffering and senseless torture remained. the blackness of war between spain and france inspired goya to sketch this series on the horrors of war, showing the factual accoun

"wonderful works of art," he called them. it was also a vision of the future, for the center of gravity of the west was beginning to shift from the mediterranean to the western seaboard and towns like antwerp and london which would finance the domination of the west. but that lay in the future. in the story of art, the powerhouse was still italy, and the time of durer in the north was, in the south, the time of michelangelo. in rome, the renaissance was about to reach its climax. captioning performed by the national captioning institute, inc. captions copyright 1989 educational broadcasting corporation annenberg media ♪ is by movado, makers of the movado museum watch, the watch dial design in the permanent collections of museums throughout the world. additional funding for this program made possible by the financial support of...

florence is still a thriving center for the goldsmith's art.his is the studio of signor giorgio chilleri at the ponte vecchio. he works here as a master with his apprentice craftsmen. a whole generation of florentine artists-- ghiberti, brunelleschi, donatello-- began work in studios not unlike this, working on just such meticulous and minute creations before moving on in their careers to their monumental works of art. in an environment where the craftsman's skill so is highly prized, it was inevitable that their status should rise. inevitable, too, that the most brilliant of them-- men like brunelleschi and donatello-- should resent the restrictions which the craft guilds could place on them and the implication that their work was menial, a mechanical craft. and so, increasingly during this century, such artists came to see themselves as the equals of their patrons-- no longer humble, anonymous craftsmen, but self-confident, ambitious, intellectual practitioners of the liberal arts, famous beyond their own city. brunelleschi visited rome after
