Van gogh postman painting10/2/2023 In many of the letters, Van Gogh describes, in painstaking detailĪnd beautiful prose, the progress of his work. But they also reveal his staggering artistic genius, theĮvolution of his theoretical principles, his formidable intellect and strong work ethic, and his deep connection to the natural world around him. The letters capture a mind never quite at ease and a soul that suffered from acute loneliness and self-doubt. Particularly in the latter part of his life.

The selection of excerpts from his letters, by turns contemplative and ornery, passionate and elegiac, aims to convey a fuller sense of this iconic artist's odyssey. I plow my canvases as do their fields." - by Vincent van Gogh Yet this sophistication is always juxtaposed against a strong work ethic inspired by the humbler occupations.Ī painter really ought to work as hard as, say, a shoemaker. Such artistic role models as Millet and Delacroix certainly do not sound like a lunatic's ravings. At the same time, the letters show the evolution of his theoretical principles. Which testify to his dogged pursuit of technical skills such as figure modeling and perspective. These struggles are documented in excruciating detail in his letters, Last few years, during which his many famous paintings were created, is best understood in the context of the many struggles that preceded them.

Tagr definitve jux shoes10/2/2023 ![]() A large part of the label’s success lies with Peanut Butter Wolf who helped discover artists like James Pants, Koushik, and Oh No. ![]() Dilla, who some argue to be one of the best hip-hop producers that ever lived. It is hard to imagine the underground hip-hop landscape without the likes of Madvillain (producer Madlib and MF DOOM) or J. Stones Throw has managed to amass some of the best producers and rappers in the business. The Cold Vein, which is probably the most influential underground hip-hop album of all time, was a product of Cannibal Ox under the Def Jux label which is why, in my opinion, they deserve to be one of the best. Artists include Del the Funky Homosapien, Dizzee Rascal, RJD2, Aesop Rock, Cage, Junk Science, and Cannibal Ox. In fact, the song “Experience” was sampled for the Madvillain song “Accordion”.ĭef Jux, as it is commonly known, is definitely home to the grittier underground artists in the genre. ![]() Both Aesop Rock and Busdriver started out with Mush Records along with artists like Daedelus, who is beyond awesome but more experimental electronic, that often have hip-hop collaborators. So, here we are with what I consider the best indie hip-hop labels.Īlright, so Mush Records might not be a solely hip-hop label, with artists like Her Space Holiday, but I mention them as one of the best because they were the springboard for some of the more prominent underground hip-hop artists. From there I started thinking about all the great hip-hop artists I’ve come across over the past few years and all of their connections. My inspiration for this particular post came when I was researching Junk Science (Def Jux Records), a group I came across about two years ago. Now, when I say “best” I mean these particular record labels produce what I consider some of the best underground hip-hop artists ever.

![]() From this, Churchill understood Caesar as “a man of virtue, correctitude, and impeccability.” Reading Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he saw an alternate view. In a 1931 essay he admits being misled by political cartoons comparing Gladstone to the famous Roman. Yet Churchill’s view of Caesar was not naive. I suppose there might be half a dozen competitors, including Marlborough, for second place.” 11 Caesar and Napoleon were two biographies Churchill would have liked to write. “Julius Caesar,” he told the boys, “because he was the most magnanimous of all the conquerors.” 10 Churchill’s doctor, recalls his 1955 musings about Napoleon: “He a very wonderful man. On a return to Harrow School he was asked who was the greatest man who ever lived. Caesar’s Commentaries deal with larger numbers, but in Lawrence’s story nothing that has ever happened in the sphere of war and empire is lacking.” 9 * * *Ĭhurchill’s thought about Caesar went beyond a good story or serviceable quotation. ![]() Lawrence, he wrote, “was also the commander. His literary agent Emery Reves was impressed: “Reading the description of events one would swear that you had been a war correspondent at the time of Julius Caesar.” 8Įarlier, Churchill had used Caesar’s work to acclaim T.E. The first chapter of his Birth of Britain relies heavily on Caesar’s Conquest of Gaul. Discussing housing needs in 1944, he referenced the Roman’s description of Gaul: “The subject is divided, like ancient Gaul, into three parts…” 7 But Churchill also delved deeper. He came, he saw, he capitulated.” 6Ĭaesar also occasionally showed up in an offhand manner. 5 (Caesar proclaimed “ Veni, Vidi, Vici” after his victory at Zela.) Describing a Gallipoli commander he wrote: “ General Munro was an officer of swift decision. “They came, they saw, they ran away,” he wrote of Egyptian forces in Sudan. ![]() 4Ĭaesar quotes occasionally inspired Churchill’s. He was an old man, but read magnificently.” 2 During a 1900 lecture tour he wrote: “I am going to-night to see Julius Caesar which I have looked forward to for a very long time, never having seen it given on the stage.” 3 In 1933 he accepted an offer from The Strand Magazine to retell a Shakespeare play, choosing Julius Caesar because he knew it so well. Beaumont a lecture on Shakespeare’s play of Julius Caesar. In 1886, he wrote his mother: “…a certain Mr. 1 Given his schoolboy opinion of Latin, this probably imparted no enthusiasm. Young Winston translated Caesar’s works in school. But Churchill is one of the few who have been compared to Caesar in a meaningful way. Winston Churchill stands among many who have recalled Caesar and the magic of his name. Much of his fame traces to Shakespeare, whose play brilliantly walks the indistinct path of Caesar’s ambiguous character and purposes. His name is both a byword for audacity and genius-and for political corruption and autocracy. The name of Julius Caesar is immortal in the memory of man. (Musée Crozatier du Puy-en-Velay, Wikimedia Commons) Painted in 1899 with certain historical discrepancies: Gauls with long hair and mustaches one captive bears a neck torque, then reserved for gods and royals a Percheron horse not known in Gaul is saddled and harnessed, but Gauls rode bareback a rectangular instead of oval shield and a burning castle.

Wild animal safari inc10/2/2023 You can see the animals up close and personal from your car - Spanish deer and Mouflon, African antelopes (Eland, Lechwe, Oryx), camels, zebras are all free roaming and will eat carrots out of your car. We moved on to the picnic area for our own lunch then took the wildlife drive. We had a great time starting with the aviary (raptor exhibition). Our 3 year old had an incredibly fun day with him and his friends. It WAS slow going at times but not interminable for us or the kids. We visited in early June on a sunny weekend and didn't have a terrible time with traffic as some have reported. I would budget an hour's drive to get there from Madrid centro. ![]() Safari Madrid is a bit out of the way from Madrid and we had never heard of it but a large group of parents and kids all went together. Pleasantly surprised with the visit, it’s good value for money it’s under an hours drive from the airport area of Madrid and I would recommend the place! Even our teenage kids enjoyed it - at 15 & 16 that’s not an easy task! The reptile enclosures, mini zoo and aviary areas are also very good - look for the loose floorboards over the crocodile area! The commentary was in Spanish, (being your typical ignorant English tourist I understood none of it) however it was still very entertaining and impressive! The bird show is a must, we attended at 13:00 and watched a great flying display of various birds from condors, vultures, hawks. There is a large variety of animals, Lions, Tigers, Hippos to name a few, all looked in good health and well cared for. We were fortunate enough to get the entire tour through all the safari areas in a small convoy of three cars. Initially driving to the ‘drive through’ safari area I was a bit apprehensive but once we were inside and saw the animals roaming around that soon changed. We arrived early around 10:30 and it had just opened, family ticket for 4 was a little over €70, friendly staff at the gate, (spoke a little English). We set out to visit a beach area nearby which didn’t look too appealing as we drove past, (can’t comment on the beach area as we only drove past the parking bay!) We came across the Madrid Safari by accident and decided to have a look. 2) The wait to be served some simple burgers and sandwiches at the cafeteria "Friend Company Rock" was excessively long. French, depending on existing attendance from francophone countries. The Park should work on this to attract greater attendance of international clientele. Two observations 1): the quality of translation into English of the explanations in the mini-zoo and reptile house is very erratic, ranging from clearly understandable to atrocious. Every kid living in the Madrid vicinity or visiting from outside or abroad should visit this park. Demonstration and detailed biological explanations of the evolution of reptiles, but the crowning event unquestionably was the demonstration of falconry superbly mastered by Jose-Maria Cabrera. Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Tigers (the latter safely enclosed behind strong fences) also on view. ![]() ![]() ![]() Driving through wide, fenced-in enclosures, you can buy carrots to feed the free-roaming animals directly from your car window: deer, gazelles, dromedaries, zebras, ostriches and many more. Several animals were taken to their Missouri park while their habitats are being repaired.Three days before school re-starts and we took our 5-year-old grandson to this splendid zoological installation about one hour's drive southwest of Madrid. With thousands of trees uprooted, fences down, and habitats taken out of commission, the park was forced to close temporarily. Out of 550 total animals, only 10 were superficially injured, all have been checked out by Zoo Atlanta’s head veterinarian. “We did have five casualties,” Harrison confirmed. While most of the animals remained unharmed, there were a few injured, and fewer killed. In the 22 miles of destruction lies the Wild Animal Safari Park. In just 30 minutes Sunday morning, an EF3 tornado tore through Troup and Meriwether Counties. “This was one of those things that a zoo director or even a zookeeper, we have nightmares about things like this.” “There’s not a single exhibit that was untouched,” Zoo Director Katie Harrison said. With wind peaks recorded at 150 miles per hour, several areas were impacted, including the Wild Animal Safari Park in Pine Mountain. (WRBL)- Recovery efforts are underway in Troup County following the fourth tornado to hit the area since the beginning of the year.

Under the guidance of number 3, Geminis bloom and shine with the one thing that comes to them innately: creativity. Geminis are guided throughout their lives by their two most lucky numbers: 3 and 5. Generally, the most compatible signs for Gemini friendships and romantic relationships are fellow air signs Aquarius and Libra, as they’ll have an innate understanding of Gemini’s mental nature. How can you tell if a stone is alexandrite? However, it is present in mainly African gems – which were only discovered in recent years. It is natural for alexandrite to go from blue to purple rather than green to red. One key way to determine if your piece is bred from a lab is to monitor its color changes. Its distinguishing characteristic is the color change phenomenon, varying from a greenish blue in daylight to a reddish purple in incandescent light. The natural alexandrite is recognized as an extremely rare and hard to find gemstone. However, alexandrite preserves a strong link with Russia thanks to its origin. Presently, alexandrite’s deposits are not huge and the Urals’ deposits are depleted. If you do business related to iron or coal, then you should avoid wearing gold.Īlexandrite is the rarest gemstone in the world, moreover its rarity is enhanced by the “changing colour” feature, according to the light. The people of Libra and Capricorn should also not wear gold ornaments in large quantities. What stones should a Gemini avoid?Īccording to astrology, if your zodiac sign is Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio and Aquarius, then do not wear gold. Because the lord of Virgo people is Mercury and it is not right for Mercury to wear this gem. On the other hand, people of Virgo zodiac should not wear sapphire, ruby and coral gems.

In daylight, it appears as a beautiful green, sometimes with a bluish cast or a brownish tint. Or select alexandrite as your June birthstone Alexandrite possesses an enchanting chameleon-like personality.
