The first silver disc was awarded by Regal Zonophone to George Formby in December 1937 for sales of 100,000 copies of "The Window Cleaner". The first literal gold record award was presented to Glenn Miller and His Orchestra by RCA Victor (for subsidiary label Bluebird Records) on February 10, 1942, celebrating the sale of 1.2 million copies of the single, "Chattanooga Choo Choo". Further examples of company awards are the gold records awarded in 1956 by RCA Victor to Harry Belafonte for his album Calypso for being the first LP record album to sell more than one million copies and Elvis Presley for one million units sold of his RCA Victor single "Don't Be Cruel". Also in 1956, Decca's presented a gold record award to Jerry Lewis for the single "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody". At the industry level, in 1958 the Recording Industry Association of America introduced its gold record award program for records of any kind, albums or singles, which achieved one million dollars in retail sales. These sales were restricted to U.S.-based record companies and did not include exports to other countries. For albums in 1968, this would mean shipping approximately 670,000 units; for singles the number would be 1,000,000. In 1976, the RIAA introduced the platinum certification for the sale of one million units for albums and two million for singles, with the gold certification redefined for sales of 500,000 units for albums and one million for singles. No album was certified platinum prior to this year. The 1958 RCA Victor recording by Van Cliburn of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto would eventually be awarded a platinum citation, but this did not occur until two decades after its release. In 1999, the diamond certification was introduced for sales of ten million units. In the late 1980s, the certification thresholds for singles were dropped to match that of albums. Other recording artists received special and symbolic recognitions, including Raphael with a "Uranium disc" granted by Hispavox and SGAE in 1980, and Luis Fonsi received the "Pluton ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 09:07:30 +0200 From: "Amazing Deals" Subject: Claim Your $100 CVS Reward - Just In Time For Back To School!

Historical subjects, religious themes, and portraits were valued; landscape and still life were not. The AcadC)mie preferred carefully finished images that looked realistic when examined closely. Paintings in this style were made up of precise brush strokes carefully blended to hide the artist's hand in the work. Colour was restrained and often toned down further by the application of a thick golden varnish. The AcadC)mie had an annual, juried art show, the Salon de Paris, and artists whose work was displayed in the show won prizes, garnered commissions, and enhanced their prestige. The standards of the juries represented the values of the AcadC)mie, represented by the works of such artists as Jean-LC)on GC)rC4me and Alexandre Cabanel. Using an eclectic mix of techniques and formulas established in Western painting since the Renaissancebsuch as linear perspective and figure types derived from Classical Greek artbthese artists produced escapist visions of a reassuringly ordered world. By the 1850s, some artists, notably the Realist painter Gustave Courbet, had gained public attention and critical censure by depicting contemporary realities without the idealization demanded by the AcadC)mie. In the early 1860s, four young paintersbClaude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and FrC)dC)ric Bazillebmet while studying under the academic artist Charles Gleyre. They discovered that they shared an interest in painting landscape and contemporary life rather than historical or mythological scenes. Following a practicebpioneered by artists such as the Englishman John Constableb that had become increasingly popular by mid-century, they often ventured into the countryside together to paint in the open air. Their purpose was not to make sketches to be developed into carefully finished works in the studio, as was the usual custom, but to complete their paintings out-of-doors. By painting in sunlight directly from nature, and making bold use of the vivid synthetic pigments that had become available since the beginning of the century, they began to develop a lighter and brighter manner of painting that extended further the Realism of Courbet and the Barbizon school. A favourite meeting place for the artists was the CafC) Guerbois on Avenue de Clichy in Paris, where the discussions were often led by C douard Manet, whom the younger artists greatly admired.
