Richard A
Richard is a male given name. It originates, via Old French, from Old Frankish and is a compound of the words descending from Proto-Germanic ''*rīk-'' 'ruler, leader, king' and ''*hardu-'' 'strong, brave, hardy', and it therefore means 'strong in rule'. Nicknames include "Richie", "Dick", "Dickon", " Dickie", "Rich", "Rick", "Rico", "Ricky", and more. Richard is a common English, German and French male name. It's also used in many more languages, particularly Germanic, such as Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch, as well as other languages including Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Finnish. Richard is cognate with variants of the name in other European languages, such as the Swedish "Rickard", the Catalan "Ricard" and the Italian "Riccardo", among others (see comprehensive variant list below).

Richard Stratton (artist)
Richard Stratton (born 1970 in Dunedin) is a New Zealand ceramic artist. Stratton studied at the Otago School of Arts, graduating with a Diploma in Ceramic Arts in 1993. He worked for a time as a production thrower at a commercial pottery on the Isle of Skye, before moving to Wellington, where he is now based. Writer Anna Miles notes that Stratton's work "displays an avid interest in historic European forms of domestic pottery, somewhat improbably combined with autobiographical reflection." Curator Lily Hacking has also noted that his work also contains political themes, "be that on the scale of global conflicts or the politics implicit in being a stay-at-home dad". Stratton has studied the history of ceramic art extensively, and exhibitions such as ''Après les Baleines'', held at The Dowse Art Museum in 2011 have shown how he uses "the style of English and European ornamental ware but with a contemporary twist." Stratton maintains a large collection of technical ceramic manuals ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
