MS Awareness Gallery


"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." - Albert Schweitzer

MS Awareness Gallery is dedicated to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) awareness and the creative spirit. Many talented friends use their creative energies to bring awareness to MS, they've all lighted a spark within me. Inturn, here's my offering, hopefully it'll enlighten non-MSers (yes, that's You!) and maybe next time in your travels you come across the word Mutiple Sclerosis, you'll pause and consider us...

What is Multiple Sclerosis? 

Glad you asked that...

From the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,NMSS

Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.

MS Awareness Gallery ~ Zazzle 


"And the day came whe the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin (1903-1977).

MSAG MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Awareness Gallery has fun and unique designs related to MS.

How is MS fun? Well, it's not too fun that's the point, but the irony is very funny. We live with the effects and challenges everyday. The absurdities of this disease have kept me awake creating these designs.

I hope you can learn and laugh at the same time.

See... you already learned how to spell Multiple Sclerosis and no were not a part of Jerry's Kids...different disease...we're Montel's kids.

I also wish, MS Awareness Gallery can inspire and give strength to those of us who are faced with the challenges of this disease.

VICTOR WILLING
(1928-1988)
Article provided by Grove Art Online

English painter and draughtsman of Egyptian birth. Having moved with his family to England in 1932, he studied at the Guildford School of Art (1948-9), and at the Slade School of Fine Art, London (1949-54). As a student he met Francis Bacon and admired the work of Picasso and Matisse. His early paintings such as Standing Nude (c. 1952-3; London, Tate Gal.), are figurative. In 1957 he moved to Portugal with Paula Rego, whom he married in 1959. He painted very little during his time in Portugal and subsequently destroyed much of the work of that period. When he and his family returned to London in 1974, settling permanently there, he began to paint again as a way of supporting himself. The paintings from the late 1970s were made after hallucinating the images, possibly a side-effect from the drugs he was taking at the time for multiple sclerosis. The triptych Place (1976-8; see Bradley, pp. 72-3), made during this period, includes much of the vocabulary used in subsequent paintings. The central panel shows a chair on a makeshift platform, a shelter within a bare room. On the left-hand panel is a wall with geometric drawings on it; on the right-hand panel is a large plant. As in many of Willing's paintings, a situation is presented as a scene to be played out by an absent protagonist. Primitive shelters and furniture, as settings suggestive of the isolation of the artist, are motifs that he explored in many works of this time. Willing also drew, not only preparatory sketches, but finished works, on a smaller scale than the large paintings, as in Untitled 14.12.82 (1982; Cambridge, U. of Cambridge, Kettle's Yard), which shows an unstable pile of objects in a bleak landscape. In the 1980s Willing was recognized as an important and established artist, but his health was worsening. He painted on a smaller scale at this time, with a series of women's heads being the last series that he completed before his death from multiple sclerosis. Some of these, such as Espa%uFFFD1987; see Bradley 2000, p. 114), were clearly conceived in homage to Picasso.
