You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gladys Aller''' (July 13, 1915 - March 5, 1970) was an American painter.

==Family==
Gladys Aller was born in Massachusetts. Until applying for a passport in her forties, she thought she was born on July 14. Her father, Simeon Aller, being superstitious about Friday the 13th, had always told her she was born the day after. Her family was involved in music and the movie industry. Her father was a Jewish Russian emigre who moved with his brother, Joseph Aller, to Hollywood in 1920 to work in the film industry. Her uncle Joseph ran the darkroom for [[D. W. Griffith]] while her father sold raw film to the studios for Dupont. Her uncle [[Modest Altschuler]] was the conductor and founder of the Russian Symphony Orchestra while her uncle Gregory (Grisha) Aller and her cousin [[Eleanor Aller]] were both cellists and her cousin was pianist [[Victor Aller]]. Her cousin [[Boris Leven]] was an art director. 

== 1915-1940 ==
She was the youngest member admitted to the California Watercolor Society <ref>((cite web|url=http://www.tfaoi.com/aa/3aa/3aa50.htm|title=The California Water Color Society: Genesis of an American Style, essay by Janet Blake Dominik|publisher=|accessdate=4 August 2016))</ref> at the age of 14. At 15 she left high school to attend the Otis Art Institute (now called the [[Otis College of Art and Design]]).  She also studied in Los Angeles at [[Chouinard Art Institute]]. In 1933 she went to New York City to study at The [[Art Students League of New York]] with [[George Grosz]], [[Richard Lahey]], and [[John French Sloan|John Sloan]].

Her watercolor "Portrait of Helen" was purchased by the New York [[Metropolitan Museum]] in 1937.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/487934|title=Gladys Aller - Portrait of Helen - The Met|publisher=|accessdate=4 August 2016))</ref> In the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin 35.11 in 1940, Harry B. Wehle wrote, "The West Coast has in recent years produced a particularly promising crop of water colorists, including [[Millard Sheets]], [[Dong Kingman]], [[George Post (painter)|George Post]], [[Alexander Nepote]], [[Milford Zornes]] and Gladys Aller."<ref>Wehle, Harry B. "National Art Week and the Museum: Trends in American Painting." The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin 35.11 (1940): 5-13. Web.</ref>

Other exhibits include the California Water Color Society, 1930-46 (prizes); Painters & Sculptors of LA, 1937–38; [[Los Angeles County Museum of Art]] (LACMA), 1941–43; [[Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts]] PAFA, 1937–40; Zeitlin Gallery (LA), 1938 (solo); All-Calif. Exhibition, 1939; [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]], [[Brooklyn Museum]], the [[Legion of Honor]] at San Francisco, San Diego Gallery of Fine Arts, and [[Riverside Museum]] in New York City.

As an example of the art scene in Los Angeles in the 1930s, in February 1937, the Los Angeles unit of the [[American Artists' Congress]] held a Surrealist Valentine's Ball in Hollywood. Los Angeles artists gathered in elaborate costumes. [[Fletcher Martin]], [[Edward Biberman]], Eula Long, Brooke Waring, Tom Craig, Yvonne Siegel, Elaine Fullerson, and Charles Teske participated. Costumes were judged by [[Jean Muir]], [[George Antheil]], Paul T. Franco and [[Stella Adler]] while [[Eddie Barefield]]'s swing band played.

On July 14, 1941, she married orthodontist Dr. Eugene "Jimmy" Farber, DDS, and moved with him to Los Angeles. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December of that same year, her husband joined the US Air Force as a dentist. She accompanied him to his postings at [[Hamilton Air Force Base]] in Northern California, and at [[Tonopah Air Force Base|Tonopah]] Army Air Field (now known as [[Tonopah Air Force Base]] in Nevada. There she taught painting to the officers' wives and was fascinated by the landscape there, painting her "Two Women of Tonopah." She also painted her "Tonopah Laundry" oil focusing on the migrant women laborers.

After the war, they returned to Los Angeles, where her husband started a practice in Beverly Hills, and they raised two children. A number of her cubist style portraits of women were painted after the war, such as "Lady With Hat."

In the 1960s Gladys Aller, now known as Gladys Farber, became politically active, starting with "SOS - Stamp Out Smog" which led to the [[Clean Air Act (United States)|Clean Air Act]]. She was one of the original members of [[Women Strike for Peace]] working for nuclear disarmament and the Test Ban Treaty. She helped organize, and traveled on, a trip to the Soviet Union in the midst of the Cold War which they called "Women's Peace Plane to Moscow" in 1963.<ref>((cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/communistactivit63unit/communistactivit63unit_djvu.txt|title=Full text of "Communist activities in the peace movement (Women Strike for Peace and certain other groups) Hearings before the Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Eighty-seventh Congress, second session. December 11-13, 1962, including index"|year=1963 |publisher=Washington, U.S. Govt. Print. Off.|accessdate=4 August 2016))</ref> She subsequently became active in the anti-Vietnam War movement.((Citation needed|date=July 2023))

Artistically, in the 1950s and 1960s, her work moved away from figurative watercolors and oils and towards abstract expressionism from the earlier influences of the [[Ashcan School]], the Southern California watercolor school, [[Diego Rivera]] and the Mexican Mural Movement, and [[German Expressionism]].((Ciation needed|date=July 2023)) She worked in the studio of LA artist [[Sueo Serisawa]]. A close group of women painters gathered in that studio in the 1960s, often combining art with politics. Mary Clarke, Lucy Adelman (who was later one of the founders of the Womanspace Gallery and subsequently the ArtSpace Gallery), and Wallace Albertson were some of the other painters in the group.
