Модерируя комментарии, увидела фото отцов Марины (Uzbekistan, Tashkent) и Татьяны (Russia, St. Petersburg). Красивые мужчины!Если у кого-то из форумчан будет желание, также, рассказать о своих родителях, будем рады таким рассказам и фотографиям. Ведь это история целого поколения.
Очень интересны фото того времени (характерные прически, платья, костюмы, позы людей на студийных фото).
Если бы еще и мужчины подключились к этой теме, было бы более интересно (возможность сравнить наших родителей, живших в разных странах).

If any other forum members also wish to talk about their parents I wil lbe happy to have have such stories and photos. After all, these are the stories of a generation with very interesting photos showing the hairstyles and clothes and fashions of the time. And, of course the men in very carefully posed studio photos.
If we had men connected to the topic (theme) it would be interesting to be able to compare parents from different countries but of the same era.

Marina, someone wrote and asked me to visit this post but I don't know if I'm supposed to be here. It says Girls Discussions. Anyway, these are by far the best of all. Looking at parents and discovering their families and sense the pride that comes from their hearts. Most of the posts we have some fun and laugh; this is a reverent, quiet place and one can sense the history all be in awe. This should be a regular subject; not just for ladies.

Елена, это Алматы и места (Аксу, радоновые источники и пр.) в паре часов от Алматы в сторону Китая. Мне нравится ясеневая роща. А вот Чарынский каньон вызывает у меня неприятные ощущения. Чудо природы, конечно, но какое-то враждебное немного место. Говорят, это мини-копия Большого Каньона, недаром советские фильмы об индейцах там снимали.
А не нравятся мне некоторые религиозные моменты и то, что национального дружелюбия становится меньше... Не нравится, что жж запрещен и т. п. (для меня это важный показатель). Я сейчас реже езжу, менее уютно стало там как-то по ощущениям в целом, хотя, конечно, хороших людей много.

Таня, хорошо, что своих нашли. Я тоже своего одного дедушку там не сразу нашла.
Интересная фотография - как картина. Интересно, как меняются лица постепенно в разных поколениях. Можно часто даже без учета одежды сказать, в каком времени жил человек.
No, basta andare su google e vedi una ventina di pagine su mio padre, almeno venti
My father with one of his little friends at our summer home in Maine; an athletic hero; set State records in track. Turned down a career with major automotive manufacturer to become a protestant minister. Served his ministry with my mother for 30 years; passed away 27 years ago at 56-years old. Simple, kind man who touched lives of 1000s of people; loved by everyone and remembered even now. My 78-year old mother; an accomplished pianist. Raised 3 boys, lost a son to a drunk driver when he was 12-years old. She and I played organ/piano concerts for many years. Also, five generations of girls in my mother’s family. My 99-year old grandmother, picture taken several years ago. My great uncle at 99-years old; when he turned 100, the state took his license to drive. (He was not very happy.) Thank you for looking at my family; thank you for sharing pictures of your dear families. Thank you for making this site a big family to me here. (Tommaso, thank you for being a good little brother!)))

Дуг, прекрасные фото.
В наших странах чтут и помнят родителей. Мы бережно храним все фотографии. И родители живы до тех пор, пока их помнят - дети, внуки, правнуки....
С уважением ко всем на этом форуме, Елена.
на фото мой папа и я....
Irina
Все же было бы всем приятно если бы Вы сами нам показали фото, а не заходить в гугл и искать)))
THis is a wonderful photograph, Elena. You were a darling little girl and very close to her daddy. You are still a darling girl!
Vico Magistretti
Italian architect and designer with a flair for mass-produced stylish furniture

The Guardian, Wednesday 18 October 2006
Vico Magistretti, who has died in Milan aged 85, was one of the outstanding industrial designers of his generation. His lights, chairs, tables and sofas grace homes and offices across the world. And he was not just a designer, but also a highly successful architect and a generous teacher.
Born in Milan, the son of an architect, Magistretti studied during the second world war in Italy and Switzerland and graduated from the Politecnico di Milan in 1945. He soon came under the influence of the architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers, whose humanist ideas for the reconstruction of postwar Italy inspired a whole series of intellectuals. At that time Magistretti took part in work on the extraordinary experimental neighbourhood on the edge of Milan known as QT8, where a group of architects and planners were given complete freedom. Magistretti built its "poetic" round church. Everything seemed possible in the Milan of the 1940s and 1950s, and architects and planners of the quality of Magistretti, Ignazio Gardella and Rogers (with the BBPR group) collaborated on working-class neighbourhoods, including an estate for Pirelli workers. These stand out even today for the humanist qualities of their design, and for their green space.
It was only in the 1950s that Magistretti's skill as a designer was unleashed. Working with the craftsmen and entrepreneurs who had long produced furniture in an area to the north of Milan, Magistretti saw possibilities for a new series of well-designed, mass-produced goods. His first great success came with the world famous Carimate chair produced by the Cassina company, headed by Cesare Cassina. The chair was a bestseller for years and mixed rural simplicity (the straw of the seat) with urban sophistication. There were the smooth lines of the wooden supports and legs, the colour, the pop-art bright red frame and elements of Scandinavian design.
Magistretti had a close relationship with Cassina and had designed his luxurious villa (1964-65) in the town of Carimate, near Como. The series of beautiful, sleek villas in the Brianza hills around Milan built by Magistretti were later described as "Palladio in Brianza".
Magistretti began to work directly with Cassina after 1960, experimenting with ideas and production techniques in the company's workshops and factories. Over a period of 30 years, Magistretti's work with Cassina produced a number of other classics, including the Maralunga sofa (1973). These items were inspired by an almost functionalist simplicity, combined with the smooth lines of Italian style that were to become so popular across the world.
Magistretti's long collaboration with Cassina was based on the ability to experiment, to promote ideas, to work directly with artisans and producers. As Magistretti himself put it "from the beginning ... we worked together, in a way which is unique in the world ... we discussed projects together from the start. I never produced finished designs ... the design grew out of discussions, after looking at the technology available, the machines which the company used." Magistretti was a key figure in a group of designers who, in this period, began to operate with "a real new culture of interior design", which affected and shaped the living spaces of millions of people. Not trained as a designer, he adopted an unorthodox and intensely practical approach. He worked closely with producers, scribbling ideas on scraps of paper and even the back of bus tickets before taking them through to the final stages of production.
Later, in the late 1960s, Magistretti was once again involved in the transformation of Milan. This time he worked with his great friend Luigi Caccia Dominioni on Milano-San Felice, the first out-of-town, middle-class neighbourhood, with its hidden traffic, horseshoe form and garden city qualities. This concept was to be copied in other similar neighbourhoods all over Italy, but often to a much lower quality, in the 1970s and 1980s.
Despite the huge success of his design work from the 1960s onwards, Magistretti continued to work as an architect, producing some extraordinary (and much undervalued) buildings in Milan and in other parts of Italy.
Twelve of Magistretti's projects are now housed in the permanent design collection of Moma, in New York, including his famous lamps and his one-piece Selene plastic chair, and he won numerous awards across the world for his work. He thrived on simplicity and elegance, where the complexities of production were hidden. His Eclisse lamp, for example, disappears into itself, hiding both the light and the lamp structure itself (all under the user's control). He drew from Milanese culture in his desire to realise projects. Very few of his ideas went unproduced.
A man of the world, Magistretti adored Copenhagen and London and taught for 20 years at the Royal College of Arts, where he was nominated as a royal designer. He was a fine golf player (with a handicap of 9) and a strong supporter of Inter. But he felt uneasy in the brash, showy Milan that emerged in the 1980s primarily as a fashion city. He was a ferocious critic of the "new Italy" (while maintaining a strong affection for his city) and admitted to "hating television". Tall, elegant and witty, I saw him charm an audience in London just a couple of years ago, as he gently admonished a young, fussy, post-modern designer for his work. His modesty was exemplified by his refusal to publicise his design of his own house, and he joked with students that he filled his home with his own furniture "because they give it to me for free". His legacy lies in the millions of stylish common objects combining form and function which surround us in our everyday lives.
He is survived by his sons, Tommaso and Ludovico Jr, and daughter, Susanna. His wife Paola died in 1998.

Спасибо за вашу информацию о семье. Теперь понятно в кого вы пошли ( я имею в виду вашу деятельность).Прекрасный папа похоже был.
Elena
Yes, Doug. I loved daughter. And we still have a lot of say and do together. My father in '72 and he honored teacher.
Sei sicura che tuo padre non sia nato in Argentina? )) Il Che!
Irina
Очень трогательное фото...5 женщин - 5 поколений...это история...Желаю крепкого здоровья на долгие годы.
I think,Elena`s father lookes much better,than Che,last one spent too much time somewhere in the middle of the bogs to keep his good shape and beauty))).
Irina
Так приятно смотреть на Вашу семью. Сразу видно что все очень хорошо относятся друг к другу. Видно что все чуткие и воспитанные.
Thank you for the post, Tommaso. You had a great father! Milan owes part of its beauty to him.
I looked up pictures of some of the referred works. I like the Eclipse lamp very much!

Elena
Яна, спасибо за поддержку! И .... мой отец с нами, он до сих пор рисует и помогает многим научиться рисовать, К нему приходят люди разного возраста (пару лет назад у него были ученики чуть старше его)))))
Elena
Мне нравятся работы вашего папы. Это идет от сердца, человек передает свое внутреннее состояние. Мы боимся взять кисть и краски, и что-то нарисовать. А зря....
Инесса, работ у папы очень много, не хватит стен в квартире. Часть его картин находятся в частной галереи в Германии, в Австралии, у нашего президента.
Мы сделали так: большие папки (самодельные из картона) и переложили работы карандашной калькой (у папы много работ выполнено пастелью). Часть работ я пере фотографировала.
Tommaso. Sincerely, thank you very much for taking time and being willing to share with us about your great father. I have very much respect for architects and designers, especially the Italians. I appreciate very much that he was a humble man and yet a trailblazer for the rest of his profession. You have every reason to be proud, my friend. I read this twice and probably will again. I am impressed. Please accept my respectful regrets for the loss of your parents; I’m sure you miss them. I tease you a lot, but I sincerely care, Tom. We are all one big family here and you are missed when you are not here. Your dad must have been a very funny and pleasant guy; we see his good influence in his son. Thank you again for sharing.
Thank you all for such kind words. I think these pictures bring us all a bit closer and gives better understanding; it's nice to be on the forum with you.
Grazie Doug. I'm architect too, but I work on regatta boats (keels and sails)
Too famous my dad to do the some things with the same family name.
Елена,конечно,я поняла,что папа,к счастью, бодр и в строю)))в прошедшем времени я говорила о Че))).Здорово,если у него ученики старше,значит,у нас тоже появилась тенденция учиться и жить полной жизнью в любом возрасте.
Скорей всего, отсканированные фото очень большого размера. Именно по этой причине может быть проблема при загрузке.
Пожалуйста, уменьшите размер каждого фото до 1000 пикселей, и у Вас все получится.
также, можете прислать мне в почте менеджеру все фото, и я размещу их в Вашем комментарии.

Программисты знают о проблеме с загрузкой больших фото. Надеемся, скоро, все же, исправят это.

Thank you, Helga. These are wonderful and I love design and engineering. Tom must be very proud of his father. A great and humble man.
Tom, I understand. I do have a serious interest in the great ships. My father born on the waterfront in Maine. Had 2 sailboats by the time he was 9-years. Taught me to sail; he was very patient. I know you canot reveal for whom you work but sometime it would be nice if you posted some photos of your boats. We would all find that interesting.
