Delacroix, Eugène, in full FERDINAND- VICTOR-EUGENE DELACROIX (b. April 26, 1798, Charenton-Saint-Maurice, Fr.--d. Aug. 13, 1863, Paris), the greatest French Romantic painter, whose use of colour was influential in the development of both Impressionist and Postimpressionist painters. His inspiration came chiefly from historical or contemporary events or literature, and a visit to Morocco in 1832 provided him with further exotic subjects.

A Liberdade Guiando o Povo (em francês: La Liberté guidant le peuple) é uma pintura de Eugène Delacroix em comemoração à Revolução de Julho de 1830, com a queda de Carlos X.[1] Uma mulher representando a Liberdade guia o povo por cima dos corpos dos derrotados, levando a bandeira tricolor da Revolução francesa em uma mão e brandindo um mosquete com baioneta na outra.[1]A pintura é talvez a obra mais conhecida de Delacroix.

"mas faça viagens regulares. Das letras européias e da América do Norte vem a maioria dos nossos grandes mestres. A literatura hispano-americana é simplesmente indispensável. Particularmente os argentinos. Mas busque também o diferente: há grandezas literárias na África e na Ásia. Impossível desconhecer Angola, Moçambique e Cabo Verde. Volte também ao passado: à Idade Média, ao mundo árabe, aos clássicos gregos e latinos. E não esqueça o Oriente; não esqueça que literatura nenhuma se compara às da Índia e às da China. E chegue, finalmente, às mitologias dos povos ágrafos, mergulhe na poesia selvagem. São eles que estão na origem disso tudo; é por causa deles que estamos aqui.'


"se você quer elogiar um livro que acha ruim – o das linhas finais do item IV, por exemplo –, há dois recursos clássicos: a) em relação à prosa desagradável, escatológica e/ou ilegível, diga que ela reproduz o incômodo e a irredutibilidade de sentidos do mundo contemporâneo; b) em relação à trama caótica e fragmentária, quando não se entende o que é início, o que é fim e do que é mesmo que estamos falando, afirme que a maçaroca reproduz, como uma “metáfora estrutural”, o caos fragmentário da sociedade pós-industrial."

Henry Fuseli Queen Katherines Dream

"Saviez-vous quel le jaune es une couleur souvent associée à la folie? Ce n´est donc pas un hasard si Füssli a choisi de vêtir sa Lady Macbeth d´une longue chemise jaune, qui fait écho à la rousseur de sa chevelure e à la flamme éclante."



LADY MACBETH SOMNANBULE - Johann Heinrich Füsli, dit Henri Fuseli
Johann Heinrich Füssli ou Henry Fuseli, (7 février 1741 à Zurich – 16 avril 1825 (à 84 ans) à Putney Hill) était un peintre et écrivain d'art britannique d'origine suisse. Il montra très tôt dans sa carrière, un attrait particulier pour les sujets fantastiques. Il passa la plus grande partie de sa vie en Angleterre où il exécuta des illustrations des œuvres de Shakespeare, Dante, ainsi que de l'épopée germanique des Nibelungen.

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving."

Costumávamos a dizer que o autor havia escrito o Manual do Puxa-sacos....
Mesmo assim, vale reflexão.

1. Create your own emotions.

"If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic."

Emotions work backwards too. You can use that to your advantage. If you are stuck in a negative emotion then you can often shake it off. Change your body - how you move, sit and stand - and act as you would like to feel. Enthusiasm and other positive emotions are much more useful and pleasurable for everyone in an interaction. Because...

2. It's not so much about the logical stuff.

"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion."

This is so key. Logic is good but in the end, in interactions and in life, we are emotional creatures. We send and receive emotions from other people. That is one reason why body language and voice tonality is often said be up to 93% of communication. Now, those numbers were for some specific situations but I still believe that these two ways of communication are very, very important.

The body language and the voice tonality is a bit like the rest of the iceberg, the great mass below the tip of the words we use. Those two things communicate how we are feeling and give indication to what we are thinking. And that's why it's important to be able to change how you feel. To be in a positive mood while interacting. Because that will have a great impact on how you say something and how you use your body. And those two things will have a big impact on your results and relationships.

3. Three things you are better off avoiding.

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving."

Now these things may not be easy to avoid all together. Much of our interactions and perhaps even bonds are created and maintained through those three negative C's. There is a sort of twisted pleasure in criticising, condemning and complaining. It might make you feel more important and like a better person as you see yourself as a victim or as you condemn other people's behaviour.

But in the end these three C's are negative and limiting to your life. Bringing up negative stuff and wallowing in it will lower your mood, motivation and general levels of wellbeing. And this can trap you in a negative spiral of complaining, complaining with other complainers and always finding faults in your reality.

You will also be broadcasting and receiving negative emotions. And people in general want to feel good. So this can really put an obstacle in the way for your interactions or relationships.

4. What is most important?

"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."

Classic advice. Don't talk too much about yourself and your life. Listen to other people instead. However, if they ramble on and on, if they don't reciprocate and show and interest in your life then you don't have to stay.

Some things people may treasure the most include ideas, children, a special hobby and the job. And...

5. Focus outward, not inward.

"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

A lot of people use the second, far less effective way. It is appealing because it's about instant gratification and about ME, ME, ME! The first way - to become interested in people - perhaps works better because it make you a pleasant exception and because the law of reciprocity is strong in people. As you treat people, they will treat you. Be interested in them and they will be interested in you.

I would like to add that one hard thing about this can be to be genuinely interested in the other person. Your genuine interest is projected though your body language and tonality. So, just waiting for the other person to stop talking so you can talk again isn't really genuine interest. And that may shine through. And so your interactions will suffer.

6. Take control of your emotions.

"The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping."

This problem basically consist of being too reliant or dependent on external validation from other people. External validation is something someone communicates to you that tells you that you are person of value. That you, for example, are pretty, smart or successful.

This leaves much of your emotions in the hands of other people. It becomes an emotional rollercoaster. One day you feel great. The next day you feel like just staying in bed.

But if you fill that inner cup of validation for yourself instead- a practical tip to do so is to write down five positive things about yourself in a journal every day - then you take over the wheel. Now you're driving, now you control how you feel. You can still appreciate compliments of course, but you aren't dependent on them.

This will make you more emotionally stable and enables you to cultivate and build your emotional muscles in a more controlled way. You can for instance help yourself to become more optimistic or enthusiastic more of the time. This stability and growth can be big help in your relationships.

7. No, they are not holding you back.

"Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire."

Caring too much about what people think will create and feed imaginary monsters within your mind. You may for instance think that people will condemn you if you try something. Maybe they will. But most of the time people are thinking about their own challenges and ups and downs. They just don't care that much about what you do.

This may feel disappointing. It can also be liberating. It helps you remove inner obstacles that are you holding yourself back.

As you, bit by bit or in one big swoop, release those inner brakes you become more of yourself. You become more confident, you have a better chance at success, and you will feel more positive feelings and less negative ones. All these things can give a big boost to your interactions and help you sharpen those social skills.

8. So, what's in it for me?

"There is only one way... to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it."

If you want someone to do something then will they care about your motivation for getting this thing done? Perhaps. Often they will not have that great of an interest in what you want out of something.

They want to know what they will get out of it. So, for the both of you to get what you want out of something tell that person what's in it for him/her. And try to be genuine and positive about it. A reason for them to do it delivered in a lame, half-assed manner may not be so persuasive. And so you both lose.

9. How to win an argument.

"The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it."

Getting two egos wrapped up in an argument, having two sides defending their positions desperately, will not improve relationships. You are more likely to feel negative feelings towards each other long after the argument is over. And so you both wallow in negativity and you both lose. When possible, just avoiding unnecessary arguments is a win-win situation.

And that's it for today.

Tips from Dale Carnegie. And as the opening quote says, these tips have been time-tested for the last few hundreds or thousands of years. They are pretty solid.

Georges de La Tour, né le 14 mars 1593 à Vic-sur-Seille (actuel département de la Moselle) et mort le 30 janvier 1652 à Lunéville (actuel département de Meurthe-et-Moselle), est un peintre Lorrain.

Artiste au confluent des cultures nordique, italienne et française, contemporain de Jacques Callot et des frères Le Nain, La Tour est un observateur pénétrant de la réalité quotidienne. Le goût prononcé qu'il a pour les jeux de l'ombre et de la lumière fait de lui un des continuateurs les plus originaux du Caravage.
