Was a Native American artist who created internationally known pottery. Martinez (born Maria Antonia Montoya), her husband Julian, and other family members examined traditional Pueblo pottery styles and techniques to create pieces which reflect the Pueblo people’s legacy of fine artwork and crafts.Maria was from the San Ildefonso Pueblo, a community located 20 miles northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. At an early age, she learned pottery skills from her aunt. During this time, Spanish tinware and Anglo enamelware had become readily available in the Southwest, making the creation of traditional cooking and serving pots less necessary. The art of traditional pottery making was in jeopardy of extinction. Fortunately, Maria continued her interest in the fine art, and experimented with different techniques.

A sculptor born in Paris of Venezuelan lineage, living in Europe, the United States and Caracas.It was in 1951, when Marisol discovered Pre-Columbian artifacts that she decided to give up painting and attend her focus to sculpture. Many of her paintings remain in the hands of friends and are rarely sold, making them difficult to appraise. Marisol’s inclination led her to work with terracotta and wood. She remained primarily self-taught, though having one clay course in a New York institution. Marisol’s first exhibition was in The Leo Castelli Gallery in New York in 1958 and it met with success. However, Marisol found herself plagued with self-doubt and ventured to analyze herself and her work as she moved abroad. She successfully freed her doubts and honed her skills (Westmacott, p.23).

Was a singer of the 18th and 19th centuries. She was the sister of Constanze Mozart and sister-in-law of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She is remembered today primarily for the testimony she left concerning the life and death of her brother-in-law.When Mozart moved to Vienna in 1781, and lodged for a time with the Weber family, he seems to have flirted with both Sophie and Constanze (whom he eventually courted and married). The incomplete Allegro in B flat K. 400, written by Mozart at this time, contains (in W. Dean Sutcliffe's words) "a self-contained melodic episode in G minor, with the names of Sophie and Co[n]stanze Weber inscribed above a pair of prolonged sigh figures."[3] In a letter of 15 December, 1781, Mozart described Sophie as "good-natured but feather-brained."[4] In 1782, when Mozart and Constanze were married, she was the only Weber sister who was present at the ceremony.[2
