Education in Belgium is regulated and for the most part financed by one of the three communities: Flemish, French and German-speaking. Each community has its own school system, with small differences among them. The federal government plays a very small role: it decides directly the age for mandatory schooling and indirectly the financing of the communities.The schools can be divided in three groups (Dutch: netten; French: reseaux): 1. Schools owned by the communities (GO! Onderwijs van de Vlaamse gemeenschap; reseau de la Communaute francaise); 2. Subsidized public schools (officieel gesubsidieerd onderwijs; reseau officiel subventionne), organized by provinces and municipalities; 3. Subsidized free schools (vrij gesubsidieerd onderwijs; reseau libre subventionne), mainly organized by an organization affiliated to the Catholic church. The latter is the largest group, both in number of schools and in number of pupils. Education in Belgium is compulsory between the ages of 6 and 18 or until one graduates from secondary school. Good condition, light stains, folds. Country of issue: Belgium, designer: P. Laemen, size (cm): 85x57, year of printing: 1930s

Original vintage sports poster for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich (Olympische Spiele Munchen) featuring a great design by artist Allan D'Arcangelo. The 1972 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XX Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in Munich, West Germany, from 26 August to 11 September 1972. The sporting nature of the event was largely overshadowed by the Munich massacre in the second week, in which eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer at Olympic village were killed by Black September terrorists. The 1972 Summer Olympics were the second Summer Olympics to be held in Germany, after the 1936 Games in Berlin, which had taken place under the Nazi regime. The West German Government had been eager to have the Munich Olympics present a democratic and optimistic Germany to the world, as shown by the Games' official motto, "Die Heiteren Spiele", or "the cheerful Games". The logo of the Games was a blue solar logo (the "Bright Sun") by Otl Aicher, the designer and director of the visual conception commission. The Olympic mascot, the dachshund "Waldi", was the first officially named Olympic mascot. The Olympic Fanfare was composed by Herbert Rehbein. The Olympic Park (Olympiapark) is based on Frei Otto's plans and after the Games became a Munich landmark. The competition sites, designed by architect Günther Behnisch, included the Olympic swimming hall, the Olympics Hall (Olympiahalle, a multipurpose facility) and the Olympic Stadium (Olympiastadion), and an Olympic village very close to the park. The design of the stadium was considered revolutionary, with sweeping canopies of acrylic glass stabilized by metal ropes, used on such a large scale for the first time. Very good condition, light bumps on margins. Country of issue: Germany, designer: Allan D'Arcangelo, size (cm): 101x64, year of printing: 1971

IVAN OLINSKY (RUSSIAN-AMERICAN 1878-1962)La Fete, San Marco, oil on canvas 57 x 74 cm (22 1/2 x 29 1/8 in.) signed lower left PROVENANCEThe artistMrs. Leonore Miller, New York (the artist's daughter)Arvest Galleries, Inc., BostonProperty from the Estate of Richard SmartChristie's, New York, May 23, 1996, lot 122 (sold by the above on behalf of the Parker Ranch Foundation Trust)Acquired at the above by the present ownerEXHIBITEDBoston, Arvest Galleries, Inc., Ivan G. Olinksy N.A. (1878-1962), October-November 1985, no. 8LOT NOTESIvan Grigorievich Olinsky, born in 1878 in Elizabegrad, Imperial Russia (present-day Ukraine), came with his family to New York City, aged thirteen, in 1890. Soon after, he enrolled at the National Academy of Design, where he studied under American Impressionists Julian Alden Weir and Robert Vonnoh, as well as muralist and illustrator George W. Maynard, who then hired Olinsky as an assistant. In the 1890s, he was also a student the Art Students League under Bryson Burroughs. In 1900, Olinsky moved on to Boston as an aide to John La Farge. Increasingly motivated to establish himself as a painter in his own right, Olinsky ended his eight-year assistantship to La Farge and embarked a tour of Italy and France with his wife and first child. The most notable pictures of the period are his stunning Venetian scenes, including La Fete, San Marco (lot 155 of this sale).Upon his return to New York in 1910, Olinsky took up a studio in Greenwich Village, where he began producing, to near-immediate acclaim, the sensitive, Impressionism-inflected society portraits with which he is still associated (this part of his oeuvre is represented by lots 150, 156 and 157).He exhibited frequently, largely in group shows, notably at Macbeth Gallery (which had recently introduced "The Eight") and the Lyme Art Association of Old Lyme, whose artist colony Olinsky discovered in 1917 and participated in until the end of his life. Hildegard Cummings, author of the influential catalogue accompanying Olinsky's posthumous 1995 retrospective at the William Benton Museum of Art, attributes the lack of individual lifetime exhibitions to commercial success so tremendous that the painter simply did not have enough pictures to present for a solo show.In addition to painting, Olinsky maintained a fifty-year career as a teacher at both of his alma maters (one of his students was Lee Krasner), was a member of the Association of Mural Painters and the Salmagundi Club, and recipient of numerous prizes: the Thomas B. Clarke Prize (1914) the Andrew Carnegie Prize (1929 and 1955) and the Clara Obrig Prize (1939 and 1940).CONDITIONObserved in frame, the work is in overall excellent condition. Miniscule scuffs to lower edge. Inspection under UV light shows a line of retouching to the top edge (15 cm (5 7/8 in.) from right margin), 11 cm (4 3/8 in.) long.
