Snow White, formerly[3] known as Mary Margaret Blanchard in Storybrooke, is a fictional character in ABC's television series Once Upon a Time. She is portrayed by Ginnifer Goodwin and by Bailee Madison as a child. She is the true love of Prince Charming/David Nolan, mother of Emma Swan and son Neal, and grandmother of Emma's son Henry. The character has been one of Goodwin's best roles, one she loves playing on the show.[4]
Before accepting the role, Goodwin stated in interviews that she'd always wanted to play Snow White and called her acceptance of the role "a no-brainer.[5] Kitsis and Horowitz are self-described big fans of Goodwin's previous series, Big Love, and wrote the part of Snow with Goodwin in mind.

Character background[edit]
Early life[edit]
In the Enchanted Forest, Mary Margaret was actually born Snow White, the daughter of King Leopold and Queen Eva. As a young girl, Snow White's mother dies when Cora poisons her, in an attempt to make Cora's daughter Regina the new Queen. Snow is later rescued from a runaway horse by Regina, which leads to her having a loveless marriage with Snow's father. After Regina assumes the throne by killing the King, she recruits the Huntsman to kill Snow, but he ends up sparing her for her selflessness.[6] Snow then lives in the forest, meeting Prince David while robbing him who she nicknames Charming. The pair fall in love, but he returns to his fiancée Princess Abigail,[7] though the Evil Queen holds him captive.[8] In exchange for Charming's life, Snow eats an apple from the Queen containing a sleeping curse.[9] Charming breaks free of his imprisonment and awakens her with true love's kiss. The two are later married. During the wedding the Evil Queen announces her curse to destroy their happiness. Snow gives birth to Emma and she is placed in a magical wardrobe and transported to the real world as the curse takes hold.
Season 1[edit]
In Storybrooke, she appears as Mary Margaret Blanchard, Henry Mills' fourth grade teacher at Storybrooke Elementary School. As a part-time volunteer at the General Hospital, she awakens David Nolan (Prince Charming) from his coma, and the pair gradually fall in love, despite David's marriage to Kathryn Nolan (Princess Abigail). Beginning a secret relationship, the affair becomes public and David's marriage breaks down. Mary Margaret becomes an outcast in the town,[10][11][12] and is arrested for Kathryn's "murder" after fake evidence is discovered.[13] Kathryn is later found alive, though Mary Margaret's relationship with David becomes strained as he did not believe her innocence.[14] He decides to leave Storybrooke, but the two are reunited when the curse is broken, and they regain their memories.[15]
Season 2[edit]
The two find Emma, only for Mary Margaret to be transported with her back to the remaining Enchanted Forest through a portal, though they manage to return to Storybrooke.[16] After Regina and her mother Cora attempt to gain power by killing Mr. Gold, Mary Margaret curses Cora's heart with the same candle that Cora used to kill her mother Eva and tricks Regina into killing her. She pleads for Regina to kill her when she cannot deal with what she has done, but she instead tearfully taunts her.
Season 3[edit]
When Henry is kidnapped and taken to Neverland, she travels with Emma, David, Regina, Mr. Gold, and Captain Hook to rescue him. Upon returning to the town with Henry, Peter Pan enacts Regina's curse again,[17] leading Mary Margaret to be returned to the Enchanted Forest with the other inhabitants, while Emma and Henry escape to New York City.[18] Back in the Enchanted Forest, Snow learns she is pregnant again but discovers that Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West wants her baby. After a year of battling, Snow and Charming realize they must enact a new curse to return to Emma who can stop Zelena. A reassuring David lets Snow crush his heart, though she later requests Regina split Snow's heart to give to both of them. Once they return with their memories of the past year erased, Emma returns to Storybrooke, learning her mother is pregnant. Zelena plots to steal the baby by becoming her mid-wife,[19] though she is ultimately defeated and Mary Margaret gives birth to a son, whom she names after Henry's father and Rumplestiltkin's son, Neal.
Season 4[edit]
Mary Margaret later becomes Mayor of Storybrooke but after the Snow Queen's defeat Regina is given back the position and Mary Margaret becomes a teacher again. Following the Queen's of Darkness's arrival in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret and David battle to keep their secret (being the reason Maleficent lost her child) from Emma. However, they eventually tell Emma the truth, who finds it hard to forgive them. After Mary Margaret is almost killed by Maleficent's daughter Lily, Emma reunites with her parents and forgives them, and after everything is return to normal after the alternate reality is erased but this is short lived when Emma sacrifices herself to become the new Dark One.
Season 5[edit]
With the other residents, Mary Margaret is transported to the Enchanted Forest, taking Emma to Camelot in order to find Merlin and remove her darkness. However, weeks later, they return to Storybrooke with missing memories as to how they failed. She would later have her memories restored after Emma transfers her powers of the Dark One to Hook, who then sacrifice himself. Mary Margaret later joined Emma in the quest to rescue Hook in the Underworld, where she encountered Hercules, a childhood romance of hers. In the past, it had been Hercules who helped her become an accomplished archer. When she realized that he never completed his twelve labors before he died, she returned the favor by helping him defeat the three-headed hellhound Cerberus, and in the process allowed him to join his father Zeus on Mount Olympus. Her actions would result in Hades picking her as one of three souls he wants to keep behind. Following this, she discovered that she no longer wanted to be known as Mary Margaret and returned to being Snow White. She and David later learned that her brother-in-law James was in the Underworld, bitter at the fact that David had stolen his life, following his death. Later, Snow and David found a way to contact their son Neal from the Underworld, only to have Cruella de Vil and her henchman Claude tear out the phones after they succeed. As a sacrifice to keep one soul in the Underworld, David traded places with Snow, so she could return to Storybrooke. Before arriving back home, Snow witnessed her friend Red's awaking Dorothy Gale with true love's kiss. Following the defeat of Hades at the hands of Zelena, Snow was transported, along with David, Zelena, and Hook, to the Land of Untold Stories, led by the sinister Mr. Hyde. Fortunately, with the assistance of Dr. Jekyll, the heroes escaped. Then with further help from their family in New York City, Snow, David, Zelena, and Hook were safely returned to the Land Without Magic, accompanied by Jekyll (who had now separated himself from Hyde). Upon her return, Snow witnesses Regina's use of Jekyll's serum to separate herself from the Evil Queen, as well as Regina's subsequent attempt to destroy her.
Season 6[edit]
After the people from the Land of Untold Stories arrive in town, Snow and her family stop Hyde and decide to help these new people with finding their happy endings but find themselves in repeating battles as the Evil Queen arrives and has Regina kill the Count of Monte Cristo. Afterwards when trying to figure out why the Evil Queen survived Regina crushing her and a way to destroy her, Snow wishes to become a teacher again and for things to return to normal which they start to do but this is short lived when the Evil Queen threatens Storybrooke with water from the River of Lost Souls unless Snow and David give up their shared heart which they do. But the Evil Queens decides to give them her pain of loneliness so she places a sleeping curse on their shared heart so when one is awake, the other will be asleep meaning Snow and David cannot be together. As they try to continue life without each other Snow starts to lose hope as she cannot stand being without David.
As Regina works feverishly to waken Snow and Charming from the Sleeping Curse, Gold comes face to face with the Black Fairy, the powerful enemy Emma must fight in the Final Battle. Hook, still in Neverland, meets up with Tiger Lily, who gives him a piece of an ancient fairy wand to give Emma, to aid her in defeating the Black Fairy. Gold learns that the Black Fairy had been manipulating Gideon with his heart, and confronts her about it, with her saying that if they should fight, Storybrooke would be destroyed.In 1993, a pixie flower awakens Snow and Charming from their cursed selves, but an awakened Rumplestiltskin tells them they must make a difficult decision, to ensure that Emma fulfills her destiny as the Savior. In the present A Pixie flower allows Emma to open a doorway to Neverland and rescue Hook, who re-proposes.
Character Development and Reception[edit]
Goodwinn's portrayal of Snow/Mary Margaret has met with positive reviews. Prior to accepting the role, Goodwin had stated in interviews that she'd always wanted to play Snow White and called her acceptance of the role "a no-brainer.[5] Kitsis and Horowitz are self-described big fans of Goodwin's previous series, Big Love, and wrote the part of Snow with Goodwin in mind.

Jump up ^ The Blue Fairy referred to Snow White as the queen in the first season episode "The Stranger."
Jump up ^ "Once Upon a Time timeline". ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast.
Note that the page clearly admits that it is guessing. Says the page, "Snow's age at the time of the curse isn't known, so we're assuming she was 28, which is Emma's age when Emma came to Storybrooke. It's been said that Emma is the same age as her parents. March 3rd as the initial date estimate because 215 aired that day--which is in winter--and the air date for the pilot also correlates to the Curse. However, timeline math suggests her birthday may actually be a few days later--current estimate is March 7th."
All that is truly known about Snow's birthtime is that she was born during a particularly harsh winter ("The Queen Is Dead").

Premise[edit]
The series follows Nate Parker, Jr. (Jason Jones), his wife Robin Randall (Natalie Zea), and their kids Delilah (Ashley Gerasimovich) and Jared (Liam Carroll) as they drive from their home in Syracuse, New York, to Florida for a family vacation. The trip experiences several dramatic delays such as car trouble, run-ins with law enforcement, unforeseen medical mishaps, and intervening locals. Additionally, it is revealed that Nate caused some professional trouble before leaving Syracuse and has ulterior motives for the Florida trip, fueling flashbacks and a framing device involving several law-enforcement agencies and an interrogation into his unspecified crimes.[4]
Season 2, the family settles in New York City as Nate finds a new career but more trouble as pieces of Robin's past begin to resurface including her relationship with her father, wanted felon J.R. Randall (James Cromwell). The framing device is once again present, with the couple now under interrogation by the United States Postal Inspection Service as an attempt to get at J.R., led by the overzealous (and very pregnant) Agent Edie (Laura Benanti).
Season 3 sees the family flee to Alaska. The framing remains but with Nate and Robin discussing their case with their lawyer, Joe Delicious (Max Casella).

Sunflowers (Van Gogh series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Sunflowers
Fourth version, exhibited at the National Gallery, London
Artist
Vincent van Gogh
Year
1880s
Location
Van Gogh Museum
[edit on Wikidata]
Sunflowers (original title, in French: Tournesols) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, executed a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist's mind both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. About eight months later van Gogh hoped to welcome and to impress Gauguin again with Sunflowers, now part of the painted Décoration for the Yellow House that he prepared for the guestroom of his home in Arles, where Gauguin was supposed to stay. After Gauguin's departure, van Gogh imagined the two major versions as wings of the Berceuse Triptych, and finally he included them in his Les XX in Bruxelles exhibit.

The Paris Sunflowers[edit]
See also: Still life paintings by Vincent van Gogh (Paris)
Little is known of Van Gogh's activities during the two years he lived with his brother, Theo, in Paris, 1886–1888. The fact that he had painted Sunflowers already is only revealed in the spring of 1889, when Gauguin claimed one of the Arles versions in exchange for studies he had left behind after leaving Arles for Paris. Van Gogh was upset and replied that Gauguin had absolutely no right to make this request: "I am definitely keeping my sunflowers in question. He has two of them already, let that hold him. And if he is not satisfied with the exchange he has made with me, he can take back his little Martinique canvas, and his self-portrait sent me from Brittany,[1] at the same time giving me back both my portrait[2] and the two sunflower canvases which he has taken to Paris. So if he ever broaches this subject again, I've told you just how matters stand."[3]

The two Sunflowers in question show two buttons each; one of them was preceded by a small study, and a fourth large canvas combines both compositions.
These were Van Gogh's first paintings with "nothing but sunflowers"—yet, he had already included sunflowers in still life and landscape earlier.

The Arles Sunflowers[edit]
In a letter to Theo, dating from 21 or 22 August 1888, Vincent wrote: "I'm painting with the gusto of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which won’t surprise you when it's a question of painting large sunflowers." At this time he had three paintings on the go, and intended to do more; as he explained to his brother: "in the hope of living in a studio of our own with Gauguin, I'd like to do a decoration for the studio. Nothing but large sunflowers".[4]
Leaving aside the first two versions, all Arlesian Sunflowers are painted on size 30 canvases.
The initial versions, August 1888[edit]
None meets the descriptions supplied by van Gogh himself in his announcement of the series in every detail. The first version differs in size, is painted on a size 20 canvas—not on a size 15 canvas as indicated[5]—and all the others differ in the number of flowers depicted from van Gogh's announcement. The second was evidently enlarged and the initial composition altered by insertion of the two flowers lying in the foreground, center and right.[6] Neither the third nor the fourth shows the dozen or 14 flowers indicated by the artist, but more—fifteen or sixteen.[7] These alterations are executed wet-in-wet and therefore considered genuine rework—even the more so as they are copied to the repetitions of January 1889; there is no longer a trace of later alterations, at least in this aspect.

Both repetitions of the 4th version are no longer in their original state. In the Amsterdam version a strip of wood was added at the top—probably by van Gogh himself. The Tokyo version, however, was enlarged on all sides with strips of canvas, which were added at a later time—presumably by the first owner, Émile Schuffenecker.[10] The series is perhaps van Gogh's best known and most widely reproduced. In the 2000s debate arose regarding the authenticity of one of the paintings, and it has been suggested that this version may have been the work of Émile Schuffenecker or of Paul Gauguin.[11] Most experts, however, conclude that the work is genuine.[12][13]
The Berceuse-Triptych[edit]

Sketch of the triptych in a letter to Theo
In January 1889, when Vincent had just finished the first repetitions of the Berceuse and the Sunflowers pendants, he told Theo: "I picture to myself these same canvases between those of the sunflowers, which would thus form torches or candelabra beside them, the same size, and so the whole would be composed of seven or nine canvases."[14]
A definite hint for the arrangement of the triptych is supplied by Van Gogh's sketch in a letter of July 1889.[15]
Later that year, Vincent selected both versions for his display at Les XX, 1890.
Sunflowers, friendship and gratitude[edit]
Paul Gauguin: The Painter of Sunflowers, 1888
Van Gogh began painting in late summer 1888 and continued into the following year. One went to decorate his friend Paul Gauguin's bedroom. The paintings show sunflowers in all stages of life, from full bloom to withering. The paintings were considered innovative for their use of the yellow spectrum, partly because newly invented pigments made new colours possible.
In a letter to Theo,[16] Vincent wrote:
"It's a type of painting that changes its aspect a little, which grows in richness the more you look at it. Besides, you know that Gauguin likes them extraordinarily. He said to me about them, among other things: ‘that — ... that's... the flower’. You know that Jeannin has the peony, Quost has the hollyhock, but I have the sunflower, in a way."[17]
Subsequent history[edit]
Isaac Israëls: Woman in front of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, 1917. A close friend of Vincent Willem van Gogh, the artist's nephew, Israëls had a version of the Sunflowers on loan for a while.
Dried Sunflowers by Egon Schiele.
On March 30, 1987, even those without interest in art were made aware of van Gogh's Sunflowers series when Japanese insurance magnate Yasuo Goto paid the equivalent of US $39,921,750 for van Gogh's Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers at auction at Christie's London, at the time a record-setting amount for a work of art.[18] The price was over four times the previous record of about $12 million paid for Andrea Mantegna's Adoration of the Magi in 1985. The record was broken a few months later with the purchase of another Van Gogh, Irises, by Alan Bond for $53.9 million at Sotheby's, New York on November 11, 1987.
While it is uncertain whether Yasuo Goto bought the painting himself or on behalf of his company, the Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Japan, the painting currently resides at Seiji Togo Yasuda Memorial Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. After the purchase, a controversy arose whether this is a genuine van Gogh or an Émile Schuffenecker forgery.
Provenances[edit]
Two Paris versions van Gogh exchanged with Gauguin in December 1887 or January 1888, were both sold to Ambroise Vollard: one in January 1895 and the other in April 1896. The first canvas resided for a short time with Félix Roux, but was reacquired by Vollard and sold to Degas from his estate to Rosenberg, then to Hahnloser and bequested to the Kunstmuseum Bern. The second was acquired by the Dutch collector Hoogendijk at the sale of his collection by Kann, who ceded the painting to Richard Bühler and then via Thannhauser to the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Two of van Gogh's Sunflowers paintings never left the artist's estate: the study for one of the Paris versions (F377) and the repetition of fourth version (F458). Both are in the possession of the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, established 1962 by Vincent Willem van Gogh, the artist's nephew, and on permanent loan to the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
Five other versions are recorded in the Van Gogh estate papers:[19]
the final Paris version (F.452) in the artist's estate was sold 1909 via C. M. van Gogh, The Hague (J. H. de Bois) to Kröller-Müller
(F457) sold 1894 to Émile Schuffenecker. (Tokyo version).
(F456) sold 1905 via Paul Cassirer to Hugo von Tschudi. (Munich version).
(F459) sold 1908 C. M. van Gogh (J. H. de Bois), The Hague to Fritz Meyer-Fierz, Zürich (destroyed Japan 1945).
(F454) sold 1924 via Ernest Brown & Phillips (The Leicester Galleries) to the Tate Gallery; since on permanent loan to the National Gallery, London. (London version).
Two Arles versions left the artist's estate unrecorded:
(F453) (private collection). Sold 1891 to Octave Mirbeau, Paris, (via Tanguy, Paris) for £12 (about £1,300 in 2013 £). Sold 1996 to a private collector for an undisclosed sum.[20]
(F455) (Philadelphia version).

History[edit]
The song was written by Craig Fuller and was originally recorded by the band on their 1972 album Bustin' Out, but it was not released as a single until 1973, when it gained popularity on college radio stations. Its airplay led RCA Records to re-sign Pure Prairie League after having previously dropped them.[2]
Critical reception[edit]
In his book Music: What Happened?, musician and music critic Scott Miller described the song as "quintessentially 1972" and "lovely".[3] Mike DeGagne of Allmusic called it "a charming little country-pop tune" and "their most memorable," praising its melody and Craig Fuller's lead vocals.[4] Rock historian John Einarson, citing the song's "lilting harmonies and subtle acoustic playing," called it "a classic of the country rock genre."[5]
