He didn't like her first name. 'Vivian - it's neither one thing nor the other. It'll confuse people. They won't know if you're a man or a woman. Will you agree to spelling it Vivien?'.

Graham Vivian Sutherland

v. born Aug. 24, 1903, London, Eng. died Feb. 17, 1980, London British painter. After studying art in London, he taught and practiced printmaking (1926-40) at the Chelsea School of Art. His early work was characterized by an exacting representationalism that evolved into Surrealism. He turned primarily to painting 1935 and served as official war artist 1940-45; his war paintings are an evocative record of desolation. His "thorn period" began with his Crucifixion (1946), considered to be one of the most important religious paintings of the 20th century. In such late works he incorporated anthropomorphic insect and plant forms, particularly thorns, which he transformed into powerful, frightening totemic images. Sutherland was known, too, for his expressionistic, penetrating portraits. He also designed the enormous tapestry ( 1955-61) for the new Coventry Cathedral

Kenneth Vivian Thimann

v. born Aug. 5, 1904, Ashford, Kent, Eng. died Jan. 15, 1997, Haverford, Pa., U.S. British-born U.S. plant physiologist. He received his Ph.D. from Imperial College in London. In 1934 he obtained and isolated pure auxin, an important plant-growth hormone and, with several coworkers, proved that auxin promotes cell elongation, formation of roots, and growth of buds, discoveries that led to the development of a widely used synthetic auxin, 2,4-D. Use of this and similar chemicals can prevent the premature falling of fruit and stimulate cut stems to grow abundant roots; because high concentrations of auxins are toxic to most plants, synthetic auxins are also effective weed killers
