May 21, 1936 (Thursday)[edit]

  • During his annual message to Congress, Chilean President Arturo Alessandri hinted that Chile may withdraw from the League of Nations if it was not reorganized. "The great day of open diplomacy has not arrived", Alessandri said. "There has been no reduction of armaments. The political conveniences of the great powers have prevailed over the principles of the Covenant. The League's peace machinery is ineffective and 15 years of experience have shown that it requires fundamental revision." Alessandri mentioned unspecified "other measures" that would be taken if this revision did not happen.[31]

German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer was born #onthisday in 1471. He’s perhaps best known for revitalising printing techniques. In this engraving of St Jerome in his study, Dürer has created an illusion of light, space and texture that is more like a Renaissance painting than a traditional print. It was a particularly popular piece – his diary from the early 1520s states that he sold or gave away more impressions of this than any other work. http://ow.ly/Kk2230bPYCf


Albrecht Dürer was a painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe when he was still in his twenties due to his high-quality woodcut prints. Wikipedia
Born: May 21, 1471, Nuremberg, Germany

Quotes

As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.
No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure, for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty.

Dec. 24: William Makepeace Thackeray, 天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅

天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅 January 7, 2018 位於約旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦自治區雷馬拉(Ramallah)近郊。巴勒斯坦的年輕人們在此進行大規模的抗議活動，除了燃燒輪胎等，也與以色列治安當局發生衝突=攝於2017年12月7日(渡邊丘) 　　這是發生在2009年、村上春樹獲頒以色列文學獎「耶路撒冷獎」時的事情。據了解，當時有許多人勸阻他「別出席頒獎典禮」。以色列軍隊的攻擊日益加劇，許多巴勒斯坦人民為此喪失性命。若領取這個獎項，恐怕相當於認同以色列的軍事活動。 　　即便如此，村上還是遠赴參加，並在演講中批評以色列。他在演講中提到:「假設有高聳的牆壁，以及擲牆破碎的雞蛋，我永遠會站在雞蛋那方。」顯而易見，所謂的雞蛋，指的是遭武力摧毀、燒毀的人民；而牆壁指的則是以色列軍方。 　　以色列於1948年宣布建國以來，有70萬名巴勒斯坦人逃離家鄉成了難民。而背離悲劇的一方，選擇站在堅固高牆那方的，便是川普總統的態度。 　　川普總統將猶太教及伊斯蘭教的聖地耶路撒冷，承認為以色列首都。甚至威脅表示，將可能對在聯合國決議中譴責此舉的國家中止援助。即使是商業貿易也過於無情。別說是為了調停中東和平，不如說是在攪局。 　　外界始終認為，美國的強項不僅是軍事及經濟上的力量，還有文化及價值觀等軟實力。提倡此論點的政治學者約瑟夫·奈爾指出:「並非動用威脅或金錢力量，而是自然拉攏對方，獲得所追求的事物之能力。」這番議論成立之時的光景令人懷念。 　　隨著外界對川普的抗議，迄今已有10名巴勒斯坦人死亡。若非總統的輕舉妄動及妄言，這些人命將不會殞落。 　　原文刊載於2017年12月24日 William Makepeace Thackeray  died in London, England on this day in 1863 (aged 52). "The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind...
