Of Politicians Grazing and a Horse Drawn Republic

 Another light humor to enlighten your cloudy day.

Pedro and Juan seems to be restless working overtime at the late afternoon heat reaching 32°C. In a tropical country like the Philippines, news and rumours could be the only fitting escape.
Juan: Hey Pedro, I have a new learning to share to you.
Pedro: What is that Juan, I’m excited to learn about it.
Juan: Have you thought about what the politicians are doing right now since it’s barely 4 months to the elections?Pedro: No, so what do you think they are doing?
Juan: Think of them like horses and they are presently grazing in the field.

Pedro: Hmmnnn, another interesting perspective. Could you please elaborate more?
Juan: When horses are grazing, they have both eyes uncovered so they have a wider perspective, they have no horse drawn carriage behind them so they could think freely. That’s what politicians do when campaigning, they could persuade people of their insights for a new government.
Pedro: Very interesting Juan, then what about them when they win a seat of authority after elections?
Juan: That’s always the sad part Pedro. When you see a winning candidate waving to thank his/her constituents, while on a motorcade after the polls, that will be the last part of him/her that sees the countryside with open eyes.
Pedro: Why so?
Juan: Because as likened to a horse, they will soon be fitted with the carriage behind them representing the places they lead, and traditionally horses chosen for the task were fitted with eye covers allowing the carriage driver to direct the way.
Pedro: So that explains why they usually lose the insight when they are on the position and simply assume a steady forward pace till the end of the term because the carriage driver keeps on whipping their backs.
Juan: Certainly, Juan. So you see, there’s actually movement but for the most part of it, the carriage might just be circling the same open spot.
Pedro: That makes me wonder, why can’t a politician be the carriage driver and not the horse?
Juan: It can’t be, a politician would always be a horse because the carriage driver’s position could always be left to that person behind the politician’s back who is not legally there to take part in the decisive matters but has natural access to do so.
Pedro: You’re clever Juan. Of course if comes to a male President, he has a First Lady and a female President a First Gentleman.
Juan: You got it, Pedro. You’ve learned a lot. So here’s the other thing, the turn over.
Pedro: What about it Juan? Of course there are “spoils” to be passed on to the succeeding man/woman on each political post.
Juan: Right, speaking about the spoils, if you see the thing used to catch horse droppings at the rear, those are the spoils. It could be literally easy to clean in the actual carriage but it’s a lot complicated in the political counterpart.
Pedro: That keeps me thinking, I knew we have a lot of problems to worry which hasn’t yet come to light. But why of all modes of transportation, you have compared our country to a horse drawn carriage, Juan?
Juan: That’s the most unfortunate truth to accept, Pedro. We are in the 21st century but with our present political antics, we are literally caught up with the Spanish period with the way our leaders rule our country, so I am left with the horse drawn carriage, the calesa to compare it with. I must say we could advance to the Japanese regime when I hear a politician committing “hara-kiri” to save his/her honor but unfortunately we hear the other version, people falling lifeless out of some volatile politics.


Johnny Depp: Still Alive After All These Years

 Johnny  Depp: Still Alive After All These Years
By Lew Sethics for News of the World.

Yes,  Johnny  Depp is still alive in spite of rumors to the contrary.  It seems the body found at the Paris, London flat was not his, nor was the flat itself.  And it wasn’t Paris, London, it was somewhere else, I don’t know where, far away though.
When asked to reply to the advent of his demise Mr. Depp didn’t comment, not being actually contacted by this reporter, who is on a tight budget, and couldn’t find Johnny’s number.  But I did rent “scizzorhands” which I didn’t like.
What can one say about Mr. Depp that hasn’t been said a million times, besides the fact that he is alive, I don’t know.  But be reassured that he is alive and well, well, as well as a Johnny Depp can be, I’ll wager.  He made movies, we laughed, we cried.  What else is there to say?
Some writers clutch at any straws to gain readership, and so write fabricated stories and kill off our heroes and loved ones prematurely and dramatically, only to have reality slam the brakes on their ill conceived plans when the dead guy shows up somewhere, all alive and shit.
So, until he really dies, this is Lew Sethics  reporting from Paris, London, saying, Go!  Go Johnny, Go!  Go to News of the World!
Jonny be good.

Eidur double puts Blues on brink

Eidur double puts Blues on brink
Another Gud day
From Matt Driscoll at St Mary's Stadium
CHELSEA took another emphatic step towards their first title in 50 years.
Two-goal Eidur Gudjohnsen put them on the way to victory — and a massive 13-point lead over Asenal and Manchester United.
These were apparently troubled times for Chelsea. A two-game Champions League touchline ban for their boss, a fine and even a behind-the-scenes row was hardly the best preparation for this evening clash.
But if Mourinho was unsettled by his latest spat with officialdom, that emotion certainly did not transfer to his team under the spring sunshine at St Mary's.
Within 22 minutes Chelsea had taken the lead and Mourinho's domestic dream was back on track, despite what many believed to have been a difficult couple of weeks in the camp.
Chelsea would have been buoyed by the fact that, once again, Manchester United dropped two points, giving them the chance to wrap up the title even earlier than expected.
Victory would leave Chelsea just three games away from making history — possibly even nearer if United's erratic form continues.
Playing a 4-1-4-1 formation, the Blues were faced with a Southampton side determined to add a point to their survival cause.
Threat
Harry Redknapp's side sat deep and were happy to try and find the 6ft 7in frame of Peter Crouch to try and hold the ball up on counter attacks.
But that plan failed as soon as the Saints gave away a free-kick.
It was a full 30 yards out, yet with England midfielder Frank Lampard placing the ball, the threat was always plain to see.
And when he thumped the ball, sending it hurtling towards goal, a deflection off the Southampton wall made sure keeper Antti Niemi was wrong-footed and beaten.
Southampton nearly made it even easier for the champions-elect when a dreadful back pass into his own box left defender Claus Lundekvam having to lunge out to prevent Mateja Kezman from getting to it first.
Niemi was left to perform a karate kick to clear the ball from the mouth of his goal.
Saints did finally go close on the half-hour when Lundekvam headed a corner just wide of the post.
But nine minutes later Saints' day took a further turn for the worse. Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson — back in the England Under-21 squad as well as Mourinho's plans — made a sensational run into the area passing, one, two and then a third Saint.
With a quick look up he pulled a square ball back to Gudjohnsen who, despite starting the game from midfield alongside Lampard, had made enough progress to blast it low to extend the lead.
If anyone expected Chelsea to wobble after the turbulence witnessed off the pitch, what with the war of words with Barcelona and UEFA, they now had the answer.
Chelsea's historic title charge was back in full swing and Southampton could do little to get in its way.
With Bayern Munich waiting on Wednesday, the first in Mourinho's two-match touchline ban, he was ready to give some of his key players a rest ahead of the Champions League quarter-final.
Didier Drogba started on the bench and even Joe Cole was replaced at the break after a strenuous week playing for his country.
Cole, who may have solved England's left midfield headache after starring against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan, found life hard on the right in support of Kezman.
Southampton needed a lot more than a substitution to get back into the game after an opening half of sub-standard football.
After back-to-back wins they had managed to drag themselves out of the bottom three.
But, despite Crystal Palace's 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough, they were heading back into trouble.
Manager Redknapp resorted to a double substitution to try and kick-start his side.
Graeme Le Saux and Henri Camara were replaced by Kevin Phillips and Anders Svensson.
And the effect was almost instantaneous.
Both had only been on the pitch a couple of minutes before Saints managed to put Chelsea on the back foot for the first time in the game.
Spurred
Svensson's cross from the left was headed back across goal by Crouch and only a stunning swipe of Petr Cech's glove prevented Phillips from nodding in.
The home side seemed to be spurred on when the crowd reacted to a high arm from Kezman into the face of Andreas Jakobsson. The Chelsea striker had only just been booked but escaped a red card.
And as the St Mary's faithful roared their side on from the corner awarded after Cech's heroics, Chelsea suddenly froze.
Paul Telfer whipped in a low cross from the short corner and every Chelsea player ball watched until it was turned in off Phillips' right boot.
It appeared to be a minor lapse of concentration but it had the effect of giving Southampton the belief that they could grab a draw.
What should have been a comfortable run in to the final whistle became a hard slog for the Blues.
But, as they have proved before, Chelsea can dig in and battle with the best of them when they have to.
And with seven minutes left sub Drogba helped secure the win with a top-drawer pass to Gudjohsen after Southampton were landed in trouble by a poor Lundekvam pass out from the area.
Nothing can stop Chelsea now. Not even UEFA.

Diálogos entre Miró y Picasso y homenaje a Josep Roca-Sastre




ANTON M. ESPADALER

Con Pujols

No puede decirse que la posteridad haya sido indulgente con un personaje en su momento tan imprescindible como Francesc Pujols. Con la guerra desapareció aquel universo


n La galería Oriol reúne pinturas y obra sobre papel de distintas épocas de Pablo Picasso y Joan Miró, mientras la sala Parés presenta un recorrido por la trayectoria

de un pintor que no sólo fue el cronista del Eixample

diano e inmediato es el protagonista de la trayectoria de Josep Roca-Sastre (Ter-rassa, 1929-Barcelona, 1997), conocido sobre todo por sus interiores de pisos del Eixample, particularmente los suelos y pasillos de su última etapa. La exposi-ción homenaje que le dedica la sala Pa-

que hizo del hábito de la tertulia una manifestación cul-tural de primer orden y en el que Pujols brilló con luz propia, y que le garantizó durante una veintena de años una constante presencia ciudadana. Luego la academia no le escatimó censuras. Para Joaquim Molas sólo fue “un propietario rural que vivía de renta y que canaliza-ba su actividad hacia la vida frívola”. Joan-Lluís Mar-


OLGA SPIEGEL

BARCELONA. – Picasso y Miró parti-ciparon en la primera exposición surrea-lista celebrada en la galería Pierre de Pa-rís en 1925 y en vida, además de la amis-tad que sostuvieron, coincidieron en di-versas muestras. Si el cubismo picassia-no influyó en Miró, en otro momento el surrealismo del catalán halló eco en la

pintura de Picasso. Ahora los dos artistas comparten nuevamente una exposición, donde se pueden ver obras de distintas épocas.

La selección de Picasso ofrece pinturas y dibujos comprendidos entre finales del siglo XIX y 1970. Destaca, por su importancia histó-rica, según observa Victoria Com-balía en el catálogo, el original –un dibujo con acuarela, tinta y lápiz– para el conocido Menú de Els Qua-tre Gats (1898-1899), del que el Museu Picasso conserva uno im-preso al que el artista añadió va-rios croquis a lápiz. La etapa cubis-ta está representada por el dibujo a lápiz Femme à la guitarre assise

(1914). El artista recurrirá a ese

lenguaje de diversas formas a lo largo de su trayectoria. El gouache Couple assise sur un banc (1943) de imbricadas for-mas geométricas y vivos colores es un ejemplo, como Faunes et femmes (1943) lo es de su vuelta a su dibujo lineal para obras tridimensionales de finales de los veinte. Jeune garçon y Buste d'homme, ambas de los sesenta, muestran su capa-cidad de expresión con pocos trazos y co-lores vivos.

Un pequeño óleo de 1927 abre la selec-ción de Miró. En él aparecen, sobre un fondo azul, algunos signos suyos caracte-rísticos como las estrellas, una llama y un árbol. De rotunda presencia en su su-tileza lineal es su Figura (1930), un dibu-jo biomórfico hecho para un libro de J.V. Foix sobre el surrealismo que no lle-gó a realizarse. Uno de los momentos mi-ronianos felices es el gouache y tinta La


paix (1950). Se incluyen también algu-nas de sus obras nocturnas, fondos ne-gros y oscuros sobre los que flotan for-mas y signos de vivos colores o Composi-ción V (1977), donde pinceladas, man-chas, goteo y otros accidentes alumbran una gran expresividad sobre el soporte de madera. Galería Oriol. Provença, 264. Hasta el 10 de enero.

JOSEP ROCA-SASTRE. El entorno coti-

rés, su galería durante 35 años, y el libro

Roca-Sastre: una vindicació del realis-me, un ensayo de Oriol Pi de Cabanyes coeditado por Caixa de Terrassa y Lunwerg, muestran cómo llegó a ellos es-te pintor perteneciente a una familia de ilustres juristas, abogado de formación, y nieto del arquitecto modernista ega-rense Lluís Muncunill.
Autorretrat  a  Granyena  (1948), la

obra que abre la exposición, mues-tra al artista a los 19 años como un pintor de planteamientos comple-jos en sus encuadres y perspecti-vas y avanza algunos motivos recu-rrentes en su pintura como el sue-lo. Poco después investiga el cubis-mo en su versión de La ronda de noche de Rembrandt; pasa por una época de tendencia abstracta hasta que a principios de los sesen-ta vuelve de forma decidida a una figuración influida por el rigor constructivo de Cézanne, Ciutat y el paisaje Llevaneres son ejemplo de esa transición. También pinta bodegones que durante unos años, a raíz de la muerte de Morandi, se inspiraron en los del pintor italia-

no. Otro de sus capítulos son magníficas fachadas de edificios modernistas del Eixample, que alternará con los interio-res, esos rincones íntimos con cortinas primorosas, mesas y objetos bañados por la luz, siempre tan importante en su obra, como los empastes matéricos, sin olvidar la singularidad de sus composi-ciones, como innovadora de la tradición realista fue su trayectoria. Sala Parés. Petritxol, 5. Hasta el 10 de enero.c

fany todavía apretó más las tuercas y, aun concediendo que “no era ningún asno”, si siquiera “el primero de los cantamañanas”, lo definió como “un hereu rico y des-ocupado con aficiones literarias” que no era “més que un plaga de casino”. Significan estas descalificaciones que el escritor ha sido descabalgado por el personaje que protagonizara un sinfín de anécdotas y que lo colo-ca entre aquellos otros tipos pintorescos que adornaban la vida barcelonesa como Pompeu Gener o Albert Lla-nas. Me adhiero a Enric Cassany, que ve en eso una re-ducción exagerada. Por otro lado, no renunciaría a sos-pechar que Pujols pensara que las anécdotas no dejaban de ser una forma tan peculiar como eficaz de pedagogía.

Sin duda por ese descrédito académico, se explica que el centenario de la publicación de su único poema-rio, el Llibre que conté les poesies d'en Francesc Pujols, aparecido en 1904, haya pasado sin pena ni gloria, por más que circulen rumores, al parecer fundados, de que próximamente este volumen va a reeditarse. Y parece ser que aquella novela extravagante y de una comicidad espectacular que responde por El nuevo Pascual o la prostitución, y que muy pocos hemos leído, también ha de encontrarse pronto en las librerías. El poeta Pujols, después de concursar con éxito en los Jocs Florals de 1903, fue presentado en sociedad por Joan Maragall, que había visto en él al joven discípulo que llevaba a cabo, con alguna imperfección, eso sí, los principios es-téticos contenidos en su Elogi de la paraula.

Todo el mundo está de acuerdo, sin embargo, en que Pujols se distanciaba por la vía de la parodia de las

ideas que aparentaba abrazar. Es el Pujols que narrando pasiona-les arrebatos líricos, cuenta que se sienta a los pies de su amada bajo la copa de un ár-bol y exclama: “¡Que bé que hi estic, hermo-sa! Guaito enlaire / i abans de veure la ver-dor del sostre / te veig els pits, que et broten

ufanosos!”. Es también el Pujols que bajo el pretexto de

NUEVA YORK. – Dos semanas des-pués de la inauguración del nuevo Mo-MA, seis museos españoles anunciaron ayer en Nueva York un acuerdo de cola-boración con el gran centro neoyorqui-no en proyectos de educación. El progra-ma Open Exchange consistirá en seis se-

minarios de formación realizados por medio de videoconferencias en los que los directores de educación de los mu-seos participantes compartirán sus expe-riencias y conocimientos. Los seis mu-seos españoles participantes son Reina Sofía, IVAM, CaixaForum, Artium, Fundació Joan i Pilar Miró de Palma y Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea. Aparte del MoMA, los participantes es-

venio. “Podría ser un prototipo para otros acuerdos”, afirmó Deborah Schwartz, coordinadora del programa.

Casi 20.000 personas visitaron el Mo-MA el día de su reapertura, durante el cual la entrada fue libre. Desde enton-ces, el número de visitantes ha disminui-do. Fuentes del museo declararon que en dos semanas “han venido decenas de miles de espectadores”.c
