Она родилась Александрова Александровна Григорович в Белостоке, в Гродненской губернии Российской империи (ныне Польша) в богатой белорусской семье. Ее отец, Александр Григорович, был богатым белорусским бизнесменом. Ее мать была греческой. Молодая Александра получила отличное частное образование, изучала языки, музыку, искусство и принимала частные уроки рисования. Вскоре ее родители переехали в Киев (Киев), а Ася, как ее называли друзья, посетила Киевскую гимназию Св. Ольгу и Киевскую художественную школу, где училась у Александра Богомазова и Александра Архипенко. Среди ее учителей был Николай Пимоненко. В 1906 окончила художественную школу в Киевской художественной школе. [3]

В Париже Александра Экстер была личным другом Пабло Пикассо и Жоржа Брака, который познакомил ее с Гертрудой Штайн.

Она выставила шесть работ в Салоне де ла Секции d'Or, Galerie La Boétie, Париж, октябрь 1912 года, с Жаном Метцингером, Альбертом Глейссом, Марселем Дюшаном и другими. [5]

В 1914 году Экстер участвовал в выставках Salon des Indépendants в Париже вместе с Казимиром Малевичем, Александром Архипенко, Вадимом Меллером, Соней Делоне-Терком и другими французскими и российскими художниками. В том же году она участвовала в «Русских» Архипенко, Кулбине и Розановой на Международной выставке футуристов в Риме. В 1915 году она присоединилась к группе авангардистов Супремуса. Ее друг познакомил ее с поэтом Аполлинером, который отвел ее в мастерскую Пикассо. По словам актрисы Московского камерного театра Алисы Куэнн, «В ​​парижском доме« Экстера »было заметное своеобразное сочетание европейской культуры с украинской жизнью. На стенах между рисунками Пикассо и Брак была украинская вышивка, на полу - украинский ковер, за столом служили глиняные горшки, красочные майоликовые тарелки пельменей ».

As a reaction to the growth of international advertising, Ogilvy, Benson & Mather formed an equal partnership with Mather & Crowther in November 1964.^[18] As part of the partnership, the two agencies became subsidiaries of a new parent company called Ogilvy & Mather, which was headquartered in New York. In January 1965, both changed their names to Ogilvy & Mather and the parent company became known as Ogilvy & Mather International inc.^[11] Jock Elliott took over as chairman of United States operations from David Ogilvy, who remained chairman of Ogilvy & Mather International and became creative director. As a stipulation of the merger, the company went public on April 27, 1966. It was the first advertising agency to go public on both New York and London Stock Exchange.^[18][27][28]

In 1969, Ogilvy & Mather became the first ad agency to work with The Hershey Company, after it began national advertisements.^[29] In 1971, the agency launched Merrill Lynch's "Bullish on America" campaign. In 1979, it won business from TWA, the agency's largest account win in the United States at the time.^[13] The agency also launched several popular campaigns for American Express throughout the 1970s, including advertisements with the headline "Do you know me?" featuring famous names with unrecognizable faces and the slogan "Don't leave home without it". The gains American Express made through advertising led to the company becoming the agency's biggest client by the 1980s.^[11][30]

During the 1970s, Ogilvy & Mather acquired numerous other agencies, including S.H. Benson, one of its original sponsors, in 1971, Scali, McCabe, Sloves in 1976, and Cone & Weber in 1977.^[11] One of the acquisitions, Hodes-Daniel, resulted in the establishment of the agency's direct response service called Ogilvy & Mather Direct in 1976. It was renamed OgilvyOne Worldwide in 1997.^[13] The agency's growth through acquisitions was not led by Ogilvy, who feared the differing philosophies of the acquired agencies would undermine Ogilvy & Mather's culture and advertising beliefs, which he called the "True Church".^[31][32] After moving permanently to his French castle Château de Touffou in 1973, David Ogilvy stepped down as chairman and became Worldwide Creative Head in 1975. Jock Elliott was named chairman and CEO of Ogilvy & Mather International.^[28][33]

The Frailty of This Universe I Suppose

The universe of perfect things

Only those things that reside in the age of everything uncommon

relives – like that of spring, summer, and fall.
