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

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.
