Podcasts about Claude Monet

Et voici la dernière manche de cet épisode dans lequel s'affrontent Mélodie Fontaine et Cédric Salaun ! Qui va gagner le livre "Le petit Giverny de Claude Monet" ? Le suspens est à son comble !

Vous avez sans doute entendu parler des militants écologistes du mouvement "Just Stop Oil" qui jettent de la soupe sur des œuvres d'art. Cela a fait grand bruit, notamment quand le tableau des Tournesols de Van Gogh s'est fait attaquer au National Gallery à Londres le 14 octobre 2022. Le 24 octobre 2022, c'est le tableau des Meules de Claude Monet qui reçoit des jets de purées. Les tableaux étant protégés par des vitres, ils n'ont subi aucun dommage. Ces actes de vandalisme ne servent que de prétexte médiatique. Une manière de se faire entendre pour forcer les autorités à prendre des mesures adéquates contre le dérèglement climatique. Cependant, ça n'a pas empêché de provoquer la polémique. Y a-t-il d'autres œuvres célèbres qui ont été vandalisées par des militants ? Certaines vandalisations ont-elles conduit à la détérioration d'une œuvre ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".

I got an A on my chemistry exam, a B on essay writing, and our teacher said we'd go camping tomorrow.(Text2)M: Hello Olivia, I haven't seen you for some time. What are you reading?W: Just checking the job page of the local newspaper.(Text3)M: I've found that many people like to study English on the Internet. How about you?W: Well, as a matter of fact, I just started taking some courses. It is a good way to improve English.(Text4)W: I heard that some airlines had changed their flight restrictions. And I need to find out what they are.M: There are websites that list the general restrictions. You may have a look there.(Text5)W: Jason, how long have you been with this company?M: Five months this week. W: I would say that's enough time to learn that we have rules here. Why didn't you report before you made the decision?(Text6)M: How about driving to the beach this weekend?W: There are too many people there. I prefer a picnic in the woods or by the lake.M: Then let's go to the lake. It's just an hour's drive from here. We can bike around the lake and swim after the picnic lunch.W: You're always so sporty. Bring your bike if you like. But I will bring a good book with me.(Text7)W: Mr. Smith, I was wondering if I could change my major from biology to political science or psychology.M: Which year are you in?W: Second term, year two. M: Okay. But these majors are very different. You probably will have to take more classes and prepare for more exams. And you would be graduating a year later. W: Oh no! I hate graduating later than all my friends. I'd better stick to my present major then.(Text8)W: Hey Mark, I'm putting you on anew project. You have to go to California.M: What should I do there?W: You have to collect and review the sales data from all the branch stores. If you find something missing, work with their sales managers to get the information you need to complete the analysis.M: Sounds like a lot of work.W: It's a pretty big project, so take someone with you. I think you can finish in a week if the two of you are working on it.M: When should we start off?W: You needn't hurry so much.I'll give you two days for preparations and packing up.M: Who should I get in touch with when I get there?W: Lisa. I'll email you the necessary information. M: Who do you suggest should go with me?W: Either Jack or Peter. M: Let's say Peter. He's just finished his project, and he is more experienced.W: Great. Keep me updated.(Text9)W: Good evening. Welcome to Around The Globe with Susan Davidson. Our guest today is Charlie Hamilton, a photographer who spent a month and a half in the Amazon. He's going to share with us the challenges and responsibilities of his work. Charlie, the Amazon people have rarely seen people from outside, and you look so different. How do you approach them?M: That's true, but if you spend enough time, you get to know them. Actually, we can laugh about the same things even if we can't talk.W: One of your pictures I really like shows the villagers and you together by a river, laughing. They're seeing no barrier at all.M: Indeed. That was only a couple of days after I went there, but everyone was just relaxed with me. We're all having fun. In fact, what I like most is everyone's laughing. Nowadays, we tend to show the unhappy side of people's life in the Amazon. The trees are being cut down, and these people are sad. But what I want to show is they still have fun.W: That's a really special point of view. Thank you for letting us get closer to our fellow beings around the globe.(Text10)W: Hi everyone. It is raining now. We have to give up our plans for a boat trip along the River Thames and walk along the south bank. But the good news is we still have a huge selection of world-class museums. And many of them are free for visitors. You know, the UK's capital isn't a bad place to spend a rainy day. So our rainy tour of London's museums today starts in the science and national history museums of west London and finishes at the National Gallery. We'll start our museum tour in the heart of London, South Kensington. South Kensington is well known for its old buildings, fantastic restaurants, and many designer shops. But the real reason visitors flood here is for the chance to experience three of the city's best museums: Victoria and Albert Museum, the National History Museum, and the Science Museum. All of them happen to be within walking distance from one another, so you won't get wet. Today, it happens to be the last Thursday of the month, so we can enjoy free guided tours, talks, and events at the National History Museum. Remember, we have to leave there at 1:00 p.m. Finally, we'll arrive at the National Gallery. It's an 1800's building, home to over 2000 works of art by famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two creators whose work celebrates courage, creativity, and the many ways kids can be themselves. First, Jed chats with Rebecca Caprera about her new middle grade novel in verse, Eva to the Max. The story follows 12-year-old motocross phenom Eva "Eva Knievel" as she chases her dream of qualifying for the national championships. Along the way, Eva navigates family tension with a worried mom, a supportive dad who was paralyzed in a racing accident, and an overachieving older brother whose shadow feels hard to escape. Rebecca also explores the inequalities girls face in extreme sports and shares fascinating history about women in motocross, including those who once raced under male pseudonyms. She explains why verse is the perfect form for this high-octane, sensory-rich story and how the white space and poetic structure invite readers' imaginations to fill in the gaps. Then, Jed is joined by Phyllis Harris, creator of the wordless picture book Claude, inspired by her own dog, Brinkley, and her love of Claude Monet. Phyllis describes Claude as a playful exploration of perfectionism, creativity, and the power of play. A serious young artist tries to paint her masterpiece while her dog has very different ideas, leading to glorious mess and discovery. Phyllis talks about how wordless books build confidence, imagination, and storytelling skills—especially for emergent readers and families who may struggle with print—and offers heartfelt advice to parents on nurturing their children's artistic side.

A cien años de la muerte de Claude Monet, en Carrusel de las Artes, recorremos los escenarios donde el maestro del impresionismo convirtió la naturaleza en arte. Desde su casa y jardín en Giverny, concebidos como una obra viva, hasta las salas del Museo de l'Orangerie en París, descubrimos el legado de un artista que transformó la luz, el color y el paisaje en una experiencia contemplativa. Allí, sus monumentales Nenúfares siguen invitando al espectador a detenerse y encontrar un instante de calma.

Phyllis Harris, author-illustrator of the wordless picture book Claude, joins host Christopher Robbins to discuss how inspiration strikes during life's mundane moments—bike rides, driving, mowing—when the mind is free from digital distractions. Harris reveals that her debut picture book was inspired by Claude Monet's paintings and her own dog, Brinkley's, interruptions while she works, ultimately teaching readers that perfectionism stifles creativity and "glorious accidents" often produce the best art. The conversation celebrates wordless picture books as confidence-builders for reluctant readers and emphasizes that creative play trumps perfectionist precision. Episode Highlights 00:02:15: Phyllis introduces Claude, a wordless picture book inspired by Claude Monet paintings and her dog Brinkley's interference with her creative work. 00:04:30: Harris explains the organic decision to make Claude wordless after realizing words weren't necessary and discovering wordless books build confidence in early readers. 00:06:45: Phyllis shares her 25-year journey from illustration (starting 1999) to becoming an author-illustrator with multiple traditionally published works. 00:09:20: Harris reveals her creative inspiration comes during low-tech moments—biking, driving, and mowing—when her mind is free to wander without phone interruptions. 00:11:40: The core message of Claude: perfectionism is creativity's enemy; the masterpiece emerges through play and releasing the need to be perfect before starting. Key Takeaways Wordless picture books are powerful tools for building reading confidence and encouraging imagination in reluctant readers, allowing them to interpret emotion and action independently. Creativity flourishes during unstructured, screen-free moments; protect time away from digital distractions to let your mind wander and generate ideas naturally. Perfectionism is the enemy of creative work; embrace "glorious accidents" and prioritize playful exploration over flawless execution to discover your best ideas. Quotable Moments "I really feel like that's not a friend to creativity. So I'm hoping they realize you don't have to be perfect before you start that you can just play and have fun." "And that's usually when the masterpiece comes about when you're not trying so hard to be perfect." "I think that's because I realized I'm not being constantly on my phone on the screen or constantly interrupted and having my mind elsewhere. I have a lot more time to just really focus and think that's when my imagination, I guess it goes crazy."

Monet’s Water Lilies were once considered radical. Now every boomer has a tea towel featuring them. Impressionist works are still as vibrant and joyous today as they were 150 years ago, but what happens when an artistic movement moves from the fringes into the mainstream?

Sur les traces de Claude Monet : A l'occasion du centenaire de la mort du peintre français Claude Monet, notre invité Martin Šebesta a voyagé de Bratislava aux lieux ou l'artiste a vécu et laissé de nombreuses ouvres : Rouen, Le Havre, Giverny et Paris. Ce voyage lui a permis de nous faire part de son parcours artistique et pratique dans notre rubrique automobile. Martin Šebesta est expert automobile, journaliste pour les magazines Auto et Motor šport, et président du jury du concours « Voiture de l'année » en Slovaquie.

Aujourd'hui, on plonge dans l'univers de la peinture avec une question : Claude Monet était-il le plus grand des impressionnistes ? Cette interrogation traverse l'histoire de l'art et continue d'alimenter les débats, car son nom semble aujourd'hui presque indissociable de l'impressionnisme lui-même. Était-il le chef de file naturel de ce mouvement, son inventeur, son moteur, ou bien simplement l'un de ses visages les plus visibles ? Était-il un génie solitaire ou un artiste parmi d'autres dans une aventure collective ? Pour répondre, il faut revenir à son époque, à son parcours, à son œuvre et à ce qu'il a véritablement transformé dans notre manière de regarder le monde. _____ "Briller en société" est un podcast original NRJ, à retrouver sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute et sur le site et l'application NRJ.fr Texte : Daphné Breytenbach Voix et mix : Louis Daubé.

En las obras de Claude Monet, la luz y el color conviven con señales menos evidentes del cambio industrial que empezaba a transformar Europa. El humo, la niebla y ciertas atmósferas no eran solo recursos estéticos, sino reflejo de un entorno cada vez más alterado. Sin proponérselo de forma explícita, su pintura dejó rastro de una realidad marcada por el avance de la industrialización. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I dag ser vi på det maleriet som ga navnet til impresjonismen, nemlig "Impression, soleil levant", aller "Inntrykk, soloppgang", malt av Claude Monet i 1874. Vi snakker litt om hva impresjonisme er, hva som gjør dette maleriet spesielt, og hvor grusomt stygt folk syntes det var... Vil du lære mer om Monet, kan du bli med på mitt nettkurs om impresjonismen.  Send email til info@kristinetghardeberg for mer informasjon.

No centenário da morte de Claude Monet, a França transforma Giverny, famoso vilarejo da Normandia que abrigou o pintor, em palco de revisões críticas sobre o nascimento do impressionismo. A exposição Antes das Ninféias: Monet descobre Giverny (1883–1890) desloca o foco das telas consagradas para o risco e as escolhas de um artista que rompeu com o academicismo. A mostra revela como paisagem, luz e técnica redefiniram a pintura moderna, num gesto que ainda hoje molda nosso modo de ver a arte. Há um século, morria Claude Monet, o mais famoso dos impressionistas. O pintor é homenageado em 2026 com várias exposições e eventos comemorativos que se multiplicam na França – em Paris, Le Havre e Giverny – , e também em outros países. Autor das mundialmente célebres Ninféias (série de pinturas de vitórias-régias e jardins aquáticos), ele sucumbiu em 5 de dezembro de 1926 a um câncer de pulmão. Monet fumava muito e era conhecido por manter hábitos alimentares bastante particulares – costumava comer andouillette no café da manhã, um tipo de embutido tradicional francês feito com tripas de porco ou de boi, acompanhado de uma taça de vinho branco. Ele morreu, aos 86 anos, em seu ateliê-jardim em Giverny, cercado por suas últimas telas e pelas flores que tanto amava. “Ele cai literalmente entre suas obras e o jardim, que era ao mesmo tempo espaço de vida e de trabalho”, observa Marie Delbarre, assistente de pesquisa do Museu dos Impressionismos de Giverny e co-curadora da mostra. Para ela, o dado biográfico não é anedótico, mas ajuda a entender a "fusão radical entre arte e natureza" que define Monet. Delbarre lembra que o pintor convivia com excessos e possuía uma notória instabilidade emocional. “Era alguém extremamente determinado, mas atravessado por momentos reais de desespero”, afirma, citando cartas em que Monet relata humilhações financeiras e até uma tentativa confusa de suicídio – por afogamento, sendo que ele era exímio nadador. Longe do gênio sereno das reproduções de calendário, emerge em Giverny um artista tenso, obsessivo e muito exigente consigo mesmo. Temperamento explosivo Esse temperamento explosivo também deixava marcas físicas. “Quando não estava satisfeito, ele destruía telas a golpes de bota ou queimava pinturas no jardim”, conta Delbarre. A fúria não era teatral, mas fazia parte de um método em que nada podia sobreviver sem atender ao rigor absoluto da luz certa. Para Marie Delbarre, há um consenso fundamental quando se observa a obra de Claude Monet: mais do que buscar uma reprodução fiel da realidade, o pintor se empenhou em apreender os efeitos da luz natural. “Essa foi a grande paixão de Monet, à qual ele dedicou toda a vida”, afirma. Definir o impressionismo, no entanto, é tarefa menos simples. Segundo ela, trata‑se de um movimento que não nasceu de um manifesto artístico, como ocorreu com o futurismo. "O grupo reunia personalidades artísticas muito distintas, o que torna difícil formular uma definição única e rigorosa que dê conta, ao mesmo tempo, de Monet e de seus pares", afirma. O que foi, afinal, o impressionismo Definir o impressionismo nunca foi, de fato, simples. “Não é um movimento teorizado pelos artistas”, explica Delbarre. O termo nasce do olhar crítico – muitas vezes hostil – de jornalistas e comentaristas da época, a partir do quadro Impression, soleil levant (1872), onde Monet representa o porto de Le Havre, cidade francesa onde o artista passou a infância. Mais do que um programa, havia afinidades e tensões entre personalidades muito diferentes. Monet, Renoir, Degas e Caillebotte nem sempre pintavam a mesma coisa. “Com Monet, o paisagem é central; com Renoir, as figuras humanas ocupam outro lugar”, diz a curadora. O ponto comum estava na recusa ao modelo acadêmico e na aposta na experiência direta do mundo visível, sem idealizações históricas ou mitológicas. Vale lembrar que até meados do século XIX, a grande pintura europeia exaltava cenas bíblicas, heróis antigos e narrativas literárias. O impressionismo rompe esse pacto. “Eles pintam o lazer moderno, o trem a vapor, a cidade, o campo visto como campo”, sintetiza Delbarre. A luz como problema central Se há um eixo incontornável no impressionismo, trata-se da luz. “Captar os efeitos da luz natural foi a grande paixão de Monet, à qual ele dedicou a vida inteira”, afirma a pesquisadora. Isso explica tanto as séries – como catedrais, fardos de feno ou, depois, as Ninféias – quanto a obsessão por pintar sob condições específicas, às vezes impraticáveis. As cores chocavam. “Eram mais puras, mais vivas, com uma pincelada visível que antes ficava restrita ao esboço”, explica Delbarre. Aos olhos dos contemporâneos, parecia descuido ou afronta. “O público recebia aquilo como um balde de tinta no rosto”, diz, sem exagero. Vista hoje em museus, a pintura impressionista ainda se impõe. “Quando colocada ao lado de uma obra acadêmica, parece irradiar luz da parede”, observa a curadora. O efeito não era acidental, mas fruto de uma escolha técnica e estética coerente. Fora do Salão de Arte, contra o sistema Ser recusado pelo Salão oficial de Paris significava quase desaparecer. “Era praticamente o único meio de se tornar conhecido por público e colecionadores”, lembra Delbarre, ao se referir à principal exposição artística organizada pela Academia francesa desde 1667, que ditava o gosto oficial e consagrava carreiras entre os séculos XVIII e XIX. Monet e seus amigos sabiam o risco que corriam ao desafiar o júri, dominado por professores ligados ao neoclassicismo. A pintura ao ar livre era vista como heresia. “Uma inconsistência total”, resume ela. Herdada em parte da Escola de Barbizon, pioneira na prática de pintar ao ar livre, valorizando paisagens comuns, campos, florestas e a vida rural, essa prática ganhava com Monet e seus pares um grau de radicalidade inédita, tanto pelo tema quanto pela execução. Um detalhe técnico foi decisivo: o tubo de tinta industrial. “Antes, pintar a óleo fora do ateliê era quase impossível”, explica Delbarre. Com o novo suporte portátil, a pintura pôde finalmente acompanhar o tempo, o vento e a mudança da luz – fatores centrais para a revolução impressionista. De Giverny ao mundo A exposição mostra justamente o momento em que esse caminho se consolida. Ao se instalar no pequeno vilarejo da Normandia, Monet encontra um laboratório a céu aberto. “É ali que ele começa a organizar a vida em função da pintura”, afirma Delbarre. Para além do encanto turístico, Giverny foi um campo de batalha estética. As escolhas feitas ali – de motivo, técnica e método – moldaram não apenas a obra tardia de Monet, mas a própria noção de pintura moderna. Cem anos depois, revisitar esse processo ajuda a separar o clichê do risco original que ainda sustenta o impressionismo. A mostra Antes das Ninféias: Monet descobre Giverny (1883–1890) fica em cartaz em Giverny até o dia 5 de julho de 2026.

Odcinek #247 w którym z Agnieszką Łopatowską w Artetece w Wojewódzkiej Bibliotece Publicznej w Krakowie siedzimy i rozmawiamy o książce ""Normandia. Życie między przypływem a odpływem" Zaczynamy od smacznego P jak prezentu i tak przechodzimy do smakowitej rozmowy z Normandią w roli głównej. Pytam jak zaprzyjaźnić się z tym regionem Francji. Przyglądamy się P jak pisarzom, którzy polubi się z Normandią, I malarzom i malarkom tez. Pojawiają się takie postaci jak Guy de Maupassant, Annie Ernaux, Claude Monet i Berthe Morisot. Dopytuję o Flauberta i o to jak nie popaść w B jak bovaryzm. Próbuję się dowiedzieć, czy Agnieszka ruszyła śladem skarbu, o którym można przeczytać u Maurice'a Leblanca. Interesuje mnie też Normandia jak M jak miejsce turystyczne, historyczne oraz miejsce pamięci (D-DAY). Dyskutujemy o bogactwie S jak smaków Normandii i o L jak legendach z tego regionu Francji. Na koniec okazuje się, że po czytaniu o Normandii warto po prostu Normandię zobaczyć.Odcinek powstał w ramach współpracy z Wydawnictwem Filia.

Recorded live at NADA Art Fair, Episode 942 features a deeply generous conversation with gallerist and artist Christopher Rivera—founder of Embajada ("Embassy") Gallery in Puerto Rico. Joined by hosts Ryan Peter Miller, Tom Sanford, and William "Bill" Pereda, Rivera discusses artist-led infrastructures, building a gallery as a political and conceptual project, and the evolving ecosystem of Puerto Rican contemporary art. At the center of the conversation is Rivera's presentation of artist Taina Cruz whose hybrid practice—spanning painting, robotics, and installation—anchors the booth. The discussion moves fluidly between artistic identity, diaspora, conceptual vs. formal practices, and the strange alchemy of building a gallery that resists becoming purely commercial. This is also a conversation about organic growth: careers, relationships, and opportunities that emerge through trust, community, and sustained engagement rather than strategy alone.   NADA Art Fair — https://www.newartdealers.org/ Taina Cruz https://tainacruz.com/ Art Basel Miami Beach — https://www.artbasel.com/miami-beach Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) — https://www.mica.edu/Yale University — https://www.yale.edu/Hunter College — https://hunter.cuny.edu/Marlborough Gallery — https://www.marlboroughgallery.com/ Rachel Uffner Gallery — https://www.racheluffnergallery.com/ Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling — https://www.sugarhillmuseum.org/ Artforum — https://www.artforum.com/Bad Bunny — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny Joshua Nazario Lugo — https://joshuanazario.com/about Jan Anthony Olivares — https://www.instagram.com/janthonyolivares/ Carla Acevedo-Yates — https://mcachicago.org/about/who-we-are/people/carla-acevedo-yates William Wegman — https://www.wegmanworld.com/Claude Monet — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Monet Camille Pissarro — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Pissarro

Go behind the easel with celebrated painter and educator Eric Santoli on the latest episode of the Plein Air Easton Podcast. Hosts Tim and Marie sit down with Eric for a lively conversation about his life on the road, the inspiration behind his Eric En Plein Air PBS series, and the artistic journey that shaped him into one of today's most exciting plein air voices. From studying at the University of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to living and painting at Claude Monet's House and Gardens as a Munn Fellow Artist-in-Residence, Eric shares the origin story behind his passion for outdoor painting, teaching, and adventure. It's an inspiring listen full of travel tales, career insight, and the spontaneous energy that makes plein air painting so magical.

In unusually forceful political remarks, Pope Leo has said the world is "being ravaged by a handful of tyrants". Addressing a crowd during his visit to a region of Cameroon affected by a separatist insurgency, the head of the Roman Catholic Church condemned the people who -- he said -- manipulated "the very name of God" for their own gain. Also: a Lebanese official has told the BBC that President Joseph Aoun is not planning to speak to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu - despite earlier suggestions from President Trump and Israeli officials. The outspoken South African opposition politician, Julius Malema, is sentenced to five years in prison for weapons offences. At least 17 people die in Ukraine following a massive Russian drone and missile attack. France looks to ban under-16s from using social media platforms, following Australia's lead. A study finds that communication between sperm whales closely parallels human language. And two rare paintings by the French Impressionist, Claude Monet, are sold at auction in Paris for a total of nearly $20m.

Happy “Tax Day”! I wonder what the American Revolutionary Founders would think of ‘Tax Day’, on this momentous 250th Anniversary of our American Independence…? Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer – American Archive of Public Broadcasting [x] 48:56--49:39 JIM LEHRER: What is the proper relationship, what should be the proper relationship between a chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States? ALAN GREENSPAN: Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and that means, basically, that there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place and there is no evidence that the administration or the Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are don’t, frankly, matter. And I’ve had very good relationships with presidents. 1. [x] Understanding Fractional Reserve Banking: How It Fuels Economic Growth Fractional reserve banking is the banking system most countries use today. It requires banks to hold only a fraction of the money their customers deposit. That amount is the reserve requirement, and in most countries, it is set by the central bank. Banks can loan the rest of their deposits to other customers, which serves to expand the economy. It works like this. Banks accept deposits from individuals and businesses providing them with savings and checking accounts in return. Banks can loan out the bulk of those deposits to other customers to buy homes or cars, start businesses, or to fund other projects. If a customer deposits $100,000 into a bank and the reserve requirement is 5%, the bank can loan $95,000 out to other customers. Once the bank has loaned out $95,000, it in essence has created $195,000. Customers borrow that $95,000 and deposit some or all of it into other banks. If the reserve requirement is still 5%, then the other banks can loan $90,250 to new customers. And the process keeps repeating itself. Financial crisis occurs when the fractional banking system breaks down and the money supply does not expand. Many US banks had to shut down during the Great Depression, because so many people attempted to withdraw their money at the same time. Today, safeguards exist to prevent such an occurrence. 1.

[x] Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval (1816) – Teaching American History We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. Our landholders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. [x] Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address (Mar 4, 1837) | The American Presidency Project The severe lessons of experience will, I doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Congress from again chartering such a monopoly, even if the Constitution did not present an insuperable objection to it. But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently demonstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States.

[x] hypothecate – definition and meaning [x] Websters 1828 – Webster’s Dictionary 1828 – Hypothecate HYPOTH’ECATE, verb transitive [Latin hypotheca, a pledge; Gr. to put under, to suppose.] 1. To pledge, and properly to pledge the keel of a ship, that is, the ship itself, as security for the repayment of money borrowed to carry on a voyage. In this case the lender hazards the loss of his money by the loss of the ship, but if the ship returns safe, he received his principal, with the premium or interest agreed on, though it may exceed the legal rate of interest. 2. To pledge, as goods. [x] 321gold: Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan 1966 In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.

Accessed 15 Apr. 2026. It has been confirmed that the Tsarnaev family, at least to some degree, have been connected to the Central Intelligence Agency for almost 20 years. In 1995, Ruslan Tsarni (formerly known as Ruslan Tsarnaev, affectionately known as “Uncle Ruslan,” the American corporate media darling who bemoaned the alleged actions of his nephews Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev ) married the daughter of the former Deputy Director of the CIA's National Council on Intelligence, Graham Fuller. While the marriage of Samantha Ankara Fuller and Ruslan Tsarnaev was short-lived, reportedly ending in divorce in 1999, it appears that Ruslan and Graham Fuller were more than just father-in-law and son.  They may also been business partners. These key details in the history of the Tsarnaev family and the CIA were first reported by Daniel Hopsicker of Mad Cow Morning News, and the marriage of Fuller's daughter and Ruslan has indeed been confirmed by Al-Monitor reporter, Laura Rozen. ↩ Hopsicker, Daniel. “Boston Bombers' Uncle Married Daughter of Top CIA Official.” MadCow Morning News, 26 Apr. 2013, www.madcowprod.com/2013/04/26/boston-bombers-uncle-married-daughter-of-top-cia-official/.

Eine Malerin zwischen Alpen und Impressionismus trifft auf einen Arzt, der die Welt bereiste und Medizin neu dachte – Doris Windlin und Armin Koch im Gespräch in der Sendung «Persönlich». Doris Windlin, Malerin Nach dem Haushaltslehrjahr zog es Doris Windlin auf die Alp. Zwei Sommer lang hütete sie in der «Wildi» ob Kerns die Kühe, melkte sie und verarbeitete die Milch zu Käse. Aufgewachsen in einer Bauernfamilie mit sechs Geschwistern lernte sie früh, mit anzupacken. In Luzern besuchte die Obwaldnerin das Kunstseminar und traf dort auf ihren Mentor Radoslav Kutra. Der tschechische Maler war in den 1960er-Jahren nach dem Einmarsch der sowjetischen Truppen in die Schweiz geflüchtet. Als Kutra 1994 an die Kunsthochschule in Brünn berufen wurde, folgte ihm Doris Windlin nach Tschechien und liess sich in einem kleinen Dorf nieder. In einer Zeit, in der sie die fremde Sprache noch kaum verstand, sprach sie mit Farben und Pinsel. Es entstanden Szenen aus tschechischen Beizen, stille Bilder von Wiesen und Weiden – Momentaufnahmen des Alltags, geprägt von unmittelbarer Nähe zu Menschen und Natur. Doris Windlin malt impressionistisch. Ihre Werke zeigen Strassenszenen aus San Francisco, Berlin, Irland, aber auch aus Luzern und Bern. Ihre Handschrift erinnert an Paul Cézanne und Claude Monet. Bis heute lebt sie in ihrer zweiten Heimat, bewirtschaftet mit ihrem Mann einen Bauernhof und stellt noch immer Käse her. Und wenn sie in die Schweiz zurückkehrt, gibt sie Malkurse – Begegnungen, die ihr viel bedeuten, wie die Kunst selbst. ________________________________________ Armin Koch, Arzt Der Grossvater war Arzt, der Vater war Arzt, und auch die fünf Onkel. Armin Koch aber schlug zunächst einen anderen Weg ein: Er wurde Sekundarlehrer. Doch bald merkte der Älteste aus einer Hergiswiler Arztfamilie, dass er weiterstudieren wollte – und so fand er sich doch noch im Medizinstudium wieder. Noch während des Staatsexamens kam das erste Kind mit seiner Frau Ruth zur Welt. Kurz darauf reiste er nach Sri Lanka, um sich in Akupunktur ausbilden zu lassen. Die junge Familie lebte in dieser Zeit in einer Garage – eine prägende Erfahrung, die sie enger zusammenschweisste. Es folgte ein zweijähriger Aufenthalt in Südafrika, wo Armin Koch operierte und sich sogar einmal von einem Schamanen in die Kunst des Knochenlesens erklären liess. Zurück in der Schweiz arbeitete er als Hausarzt und verband klassische Schulmedizin mit traditioneller chinesischer Medizin. Doch die Neugier und der Wunsch nach neuen Horizonten blieben: Mit ihren vier Kindern zog die Familie erneut ins Ausland, diesmal nach Santa Fe in den USA. Seine letzten Arbeitsjahre verbrachte Armin Koch wieder in der Heimat, in einer Praxis im Obwaldner Kantonshauptort. Nur wenige Tage vor der Sendung «Persönlich» hat der 69-Jährige seine Praxis geräumt und damit ein langes berufliches Kapitel abgeschlossen – erfüllt und bereit für das, was kommt. _________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler ____________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben.

Depuis quelques mois, les toiles de Diego Velasquez et de Claude Monet, exposées au Petit Palais à Paris, ont de nouvelles connaissances avec qui échanger : les tableaux du Franco-Algérien Bilal Hamdad. Les toiles hyper réalistes de l'artiste dialoguent avec celles des grands maîtres de la peinture classique et donnent à voir un Paris qui, jusque-là, ne trouvait pas sa place dans les grandes institutions : celui de Barbès Rochechouart, de Châtelet-les-Halles, et des livreurs Deliveroo. Elle trône, imposante, dans la « galerie des grands formats » du Petit Palais : la toile Paname, conçue par le peintre Bilal Hamdad spécialement pour l'exposition qui lui est consacrée. Plus de trois mètres de hauteur et quatre de largeur, qui capturent sur le vif – et dans un style quasi-photographique – la sortie du métro Barbès-Rochechouart, quartier populaire de la capitale française. Avec cette toile, les vendeurs de maïs ambulants, les livreurs Deliveroo et les doudounes multicolores sont immortalisés aux côtés des Parisiennes du XVIIIe siècle et des scènes bibliques plus classiques qui peuplent habituellement les galeries du musée. Des étoiles dans les yeux, la directrice du musée, Annick Lemoine, réfute tout paradoxe : « Bilal Hamdad amène au Petit Palais le Paris d'aujourd'hui, mais en défendant une peinture qui s'inscrit dans l'histoire de l'art. Sa pratique est traditionnelle, académique : de l'huile sur toile, sur grand format. » Rien de plus logique donc que de l'inviter à prendre ses quartiers dans ce célèbre musée du centre parisien, habitué à faire dialoguer, tous les ans, des peintres contemporains avec les artistes historiques qui peuplent la collection. D'autant que, poursuit la directrice, Bilal Hamdad « insère dans ses œuvres, de manière extrêmement discrète, des références à ces peintures de maître qui l'ont nourri ». On pense par exemple à son Angélus, un jeune homme perché sur une rambarde d'escalier dans le métro. Où est la référence au célèbre Angélus de Jean-François Millet (1859) ? Subtilement cachée en arrière-plan. « Très discrètement, Bilal Hamdad a représenté une trace, comme une saleté, sur le mur derrière le jeune homme. Mais en réalité, cela reprend la silhouette du village, en arrière-plan de l'Angélus de Millet, détaille Annick Lemoine. Mais si on ne le sait pas, on ne peut pas le voir. » Une exposition pédagogique et aux accents politiques Pour rester accessible à celles et ceux qui ne seraient pas rodés aux milliers de références dont fourmille l'histoire de la peinture classique, le Petit Palais a truffé le parcours de petites explications. Les toiles de Bilal Hamdad sont donc fréquemment accompagnées de cartels pointant, lorsqu'il y en a, les clins d'œil à des tableaux passés.  Car l'idée de cet événement était, précisément, d'ouvrir le champ de la culture à un public plus large que celui qui arpente habituellement les couloirs du Petit Palais. « On a fait le choix de défendre un jeune artiste, martèle Annick Lemoine, mais notre ambition, c'était aussi de faire venir, par cette exposition, des personnes qui n'auraient autrement peut-être pas franchi les portes du Petit Palais. Et c'est un fait, on a eu beaucoup plus de jeunes visiteurs, qui n'avaient jamais mis les pieds dans notre musée et qui ont, par ce biais, découvert le Petit Palais. »  Le message politique du travail de Bilal Hamdad, lui, est plus discret – et surtout laissé à l'interprétation des spectateurs. Il se lit surtout dans le fait de « peindre des gens », comme le dit l'artiste, quelle que soit leur origine sociale ou ethnique, et de leur donner, toujours, la même importance.  Une série, pourtant, se teinte d'un message plus franchement affirmé : ces tableaux – dont certains figurent au Petit Palais – de jeunes hommes étendus dans l'eau, morts ou endormis, l'histoire ne le dit pas. Sur l'une de ces toiles, au premier plan, un petit bateau en papier rouge fait une référence discrète, pas à l'histoire de l'art cette fois, mais bien à l'actualité. Dans son studio du XIXe arrondissement parisien, le peintre acquiesce : « Je voulais rendre hommage à toutes ces personnes qui traversent la Méditerranée – ou d'autres endroits du monde, d'ailleurs. » On ne se refait pas : l'inspiration lui est en premier lieu venue d'il y a plusieurs siècles, plus précisément du tableau Ophélie de John Everett Millais (1852).  Un mélange des époques et des références qui a su séduire le public : pendant les six premières semaines de l'exposition, plus de 239 000 personnes ont franchi les portes du Petit Palais.

THE 1874 EXHIBITION AND THE BIRTH OF IMPRESSIONISM Colleague Sebastian Smee. In the spring of 1874, a group of painters including Degas, Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir gathered at the studio of the photographer Nadar to exhibit their work outside the established "Salon" system. This group, organizing themselves as the "Société Anonyme," had grown tired of the Salon's hierarchical preference for large-scale history and religious paintings over landscapes and contemporary life. The movement received its name from a critic who wrote a parody of the exhibition, seizing upon the title of Claude Monet's painting, Impression, Sunrise, to mock the work as unfinished sketches lacking structure or deep meaning. While photography existed, these painters sought to tell the story of their times through a revolutionary style that defied convention. Notably absent from this founding exhibition was Édouard Manet, the group's "blood brother" and inspiration, who still believed success required acceptance within the official Salon.

People all over the world admire his work because it looks so bright and full of life. Monet's paintings help us see how magical the world can be when we take time to notice it.

Using artworks by Berthe Morisot, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others, The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris (Bloomsbury, 2025) by Dr. Justine De Young explores how women and artists in Impressionist Paris (1855-1885) crafted their public images to exploit and resist stereotypes.French societal expectations and beauty ideals shaped how women were seen and how they chose to present themselves in public – whether on the street, in a photograph, or in a portrait on the walls of the annual Paris Salon. On Paris's broad new boulevards and in its public parks and theaters, women dressed to impress anonymous strangers as well as their friends. They even circulated aspirational photographs of themselves. Looking at a rich array of visual sources – from portraits to modern-life paintings, and from photographs to fashion plates – Dr. De Young reveals how women were seen, how they aspired to be seen, and how they navigated public life in Second Empire and Belle Époque Paris.This book considers how fashionable feminine “types” made famous in books, caricatures, and paintings created a visual lexicon and stylistic guide for women. Men and women alike relied on these types – cocotte (mistress), jeune veuve (young widow), amazone (independent equestrienne), demoiselle de magasin (shopgirl), and Parisienne (chic Parisian woman) – to judge the class, character, morality, and worth of strangers. With a rich set of illustrations from the Impressionist canon and beyond, The Art of Parisian Chic shows how modern women used fashion and these stereotypes to construct and reinvent their identities. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born―in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue. In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism

In stirring and exceptionally vivid prose, Smee tells the story of those dramatic days through the eyes of great figures of Impressionism. Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Edgar Degas were trapped in Paris during the siege and deeply enmeshed in its politics. Others, including Pierre-August Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, joined regiments outside of the capital, while Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro fled the country just in time. In the aftermath, these artists developed a newfound sense of the fragility of life. That feeling for transience―reflected in Impressionism's emphasis on fugitive light, shifting seasons, glimpsed street scenes, and the impermanence of all things―became the movement's great contribution to the history of art. At the heart of it all is a love story; that of Manet, by all accounts the father of Impressionism, and Morisot, the only woman to play a central role in the movement from the start. Smee poignantly depicts their complex relationship, their tangled effect on each other, and their great legacy, while bringing overdue attention to the woman at the heart of Impressionism
