Go Red For Women mobilizes women to join cause, fight heart disease

DALLAS — Go Red For Women Day. A national observance created by the American Heart Association, on Friday Feb. 2, 2007 thousands of people, including employees at more than 3,000 companies, national and local news anchors and talk-show hosts will wear red to support the cause. The red dress and the color red are symbols for women and heart disease and the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement.

The Red Dress Pin – Get One. Give One. Thousands have already added the red dress pin to their fashion accessory collection to support the women and heart disease movement. This year, women are urged to get two free red dress pins – one to wear and one to share with someone they care about. You can get the pins by calling 1-888-MY-HEART.

Thousands of Americans will help women fight heart disease when they participate in the fourth year of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women initiative, as it gears up again in February.

Go Red For Women began in February 2004 to raise awareness that heart disease is women’s No. 1 killer. The grassroots campaign has since grown into a vibrant national movement as more women, men, celebrities, healthcare providers and politicians embrace and elevate the cause of women and heart disease.

The campaign provides women tips and information on healthy eating, exercise, and risk factor reduction, such as smoking cessation, weight maintenance, blood pressure control and blood cholesterol management.

“In 2004, we discovered an alarming fact — that women still don’t know heart disease is their No. 1 killer,” said Alice Jacobs, M.D., former president of the American Heart Association. “In fact, more women still believe that cancer is the greatest health problem facing them today. Go Red For Women is beginning to change that.”

Sponsored proudly by national sponsor Macy’s, with additional support from the PacifiCare Foundation and Bayer Aspirin.

Anyone can join Go Red For Women by calling 1-888-MY-HEART (1-888-694-3278) or visiting americanheart.org.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, France, the child of a working class family. As a boy, he worked in a porcelain factory where his drawing talents led to him being chosen to paint designs on fine china. He also painted hangings for overseas missionaries and decorations on fans before he enrolled in art school. During those early years, he often visited the Louvre to study the French master painters.

In 1862 he began studying art under Charles Gleyre in Paris. There he met Alfred Sisley, Frederic Bazille, and Claude Monet. At times during the 1860s, he did not have enough money to buy paint. Although Renoir first exhibited paintings in 1864, recognition did not come for another ten years

One of the best known Impressionist works is Renoir's 1876 Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette), is displayed above. The painting depicts an open-air scene, crowded with people, at a popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre close to where he lived.

Claude Monet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claude Monet also known as Oscar-Claude Monet or Claude Oscar Monet (November 14, 1840 – December 5, 1926)[1] was a French Impressionist painter. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.

When Monet traveled to Paris to visit The Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Monet, having brought his paints and other tools with him, would instead go and sit by a window and paint what he saw. Monet was in Paris for several years and met several friends who were painters. They all painted in the impressionism style. One of those friends was Édouard Manet.

Monet was exceptionally fond of painting controlled nature: his own garden in Giverny, with its water lilies, pond, and bridge. He also painted up and down the banks of the Seine.

Between 1883 and 1908, Monet traveled to the Mediterranean, where he painted landmarks, landscapes, and seascapes, such as Bordighera. He painted an important series of paintings in Venice, Italy, and in London he painted two important series - views of Parliament and views of Charing Cross Bridge.

Vincent van Gogh From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vincent Willem van Gogh, (March 30, 1853 in Zundert – July 29, 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise) was a Dutch draughtsman and painter, classified as a Post-Impressionist. His paintings and drawings include some of the world's best known, most popular and most expensive pieces. He suffered from recurrent bouts of mental illness — about which there are many competing theories — and during one such episode, famously cut off a part of his left ear.

Van Gogh spent his early life working for a firm of art dealers, and after a brief spell as a teacher, became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not embark upon a career as an artist until 1880, at the age of 27. Initially he worked in sombre colours, until an encounter in Paris with Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism accelerated his artistic development. He produced all of his more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1100 drawings or sketches, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known works were produced in the final two years of his life, and in the two months before his death he painted 90 pictures.
