Chers amis,

 

Vous êtes désormais sur ce blog plus de 28 381 visiteurs déjà, qui redécouvrent l'immense et extraordinaire artiste qu'était Manuel diez Matilla, un artiste phénoménal et hors normes, un des plus grands peintre et laqueur décorateur du siècle déjà écoulé depuis 14 ans. Son oeuvre est gigantesque, sa fin de vie cauchemardesque.

Sur l'autre blog ( christiandiez44.centerblog.com ) vous êtes plus de 18 297 a être passés depuis sa création jusqu'à son transfert ici. Vous êtes donc sur les deux blogs réunis plus de 46 618 visiteurs à vous être intéressés à ce génie et ce coloriste fabuleux, ce maître de la pâtine sur laque cellulosique et à l'huile, notamment des décors floraux et aquatiques, et tout ceci prouve que cet Opus historique et culturel est un succès d'écoute et de vulgarisation.

Il est difficile de télécharger des photos, aussi, j'ai fait paraître deux textes autobiographiques de mon père, en partie dédiés au calvaire de Jésus ainsi qu'à l'incendie de l'église Santa Catalina survenu à Toro en 57 ou 58, que j'ai complété par un manuel d'introduction au métier de peintre laqueur décorateur rédigé en 4 parties et suivi de 11 études. Les 10èmes et 11èmes sont une bonne synthèse de notre vie personnelle. De très grands artistes castillans l'ont précédé dans sa ville natale. Pour n'en citer que quelques uns, Churriguera, Aléman, Diez Azevedo, Alonso Berruguete, Grégorio Fernandez, Valdévi ... l'école flamande étant aussi en partie très présente à Toro. J'aimerai beaucoup visiter la cathédrale d'oviedo et les murailles d'avila par exemple, mais j'ai peu de moyens pour prendre des vacances et partir en touriste.

Je souhaite que ce travail de vulgarisation puisse vous aider et vous être utile, tellement l'homme était inclassable et a laissé derrière lui des milliers de toiles de maître, de meubles sûblimes, de tables, de paravents et j'en passe. C'était un immense peintre et laqueur-décorateur, probablement le plus grand de son temps.

Aujourd'hui, ses successeurs sont rares, Grisbert ou les frères Lacks notamment.

J'ai travaillé entre l'année dernière et le début de l'année 8 mois dans le traçage électrique, avec un ingénieur commercial qui avait 35 ans d'ancienneté, et j'étais parfois tenu au secret, mais dès que j'aurais la suite office, j'achèverai la traduction en anglais qui complètera celles en espagnol et en allemand. Je suis désormais dans le secteur de la recherche mécanique après être passé dans un grand bureau d'études.

J'ai surtout voulu mener à bien ce travail historique par souci de transparence et de sens critique, même si malheureusement, ma vie professionnelle m'a tenu éloigné des pinceaux depuis quelques temps déjà, je suis dessinateur CAO-DAO, technicien méthodes.

Pour autant, je ne renonce pas à poursuivre un travail historique et culturel, engagé à la fois par la vérité et le respect dus à mon père, et en veillant à distinguer le cadre particulier et évolutif de son oeuvre colossale.

Mon épouse Hanifia est par ailleur passée plusieurs fois sur le petit écran, aussi bien à Motus qu'à Question pour un champion, chez son grand ami Julien Lepers, ou encore chez Slam, ou le jeune animateur Cyril  Feraud s'est un peu moqué de moi et m'a parodié, sous la forme d'un canard dans une bouée qui appelle sa femme à l'aide pour ne pas se noyer, mais je sais tout de même nager et voler de mes propres ailes. Ma femme m'a un peu chambré. Damien Thevenot qui ressemble un peu à Cyril Feraud s'est occupé en 2013 du téléthon.

Il ne reste plus à Hanifia qu'à passer à Tout le monde veut prendre sa place et la boucle sera bouclée, elle pourrait passer au jeu Harry animé par Sébastien Folin. L'autre jour elle a participé pour la troisième fois à question pour un champion, mais n'a pas atteint la finale cette fois-ci. Elle est revenue avec quelques cadeaux. Elle s'entraîne pour repaser à Motus.

Nous sommes allés voir l'exposition consacrée au grand peintre russe Chaïm Soutine il y a quelques mois au musée de l'orangerie, un peintre très festif et haut en couleur. En revanche, ma mère n'a pas apprécié l'exposition, nous sommes allé voir Hopper il y a quelques mois. Depuis, Hanifia et moi sommes allés visiter la Sainte-Chapelle et la Conciergerie oû étaient exposés des dessins. Nous avons pu ensuite voir l'exposition consacrée à Dali. Elle est allée voir l'exposition dédiée à Verlaine il y a quelques mois, mon arthrite me faisait trop mal. Je suis passé par le kiné depuis.

Depuis nous sommes allés visiter l'Ile de Chatou récemment, oû Renoir a peint le déjeuner des canotiers et par oû d'autres peintres impressionistes sont passés également, après être passé en voiture près de la maison oû Alexandre Dumas écrivit " le comte de Monte-Cristo ". Nous l'avions visitée il y a quelques années. Nous sommes allés nous promener en bas de la Celle-Saint-Cloud, le long des rivages de la Seine immortalisés par Sisley. Hanifia a travaillé là-haut à la maison de retraite, à la Jonchère.

En face, de l'autre coté de l'avenue le long de la Seine, se dresse la maison ou a vécu Mistinguett, chantée par Dalida, et qui a aussi sa place devant la gare d'Enghien.

Nous avons aussi visité le parc et la forêt de Marly, ou se promenait le roi de France. Jack Lang a innauguré une statue équestre des chevaux de Marly en bas du parc.

Nous sommes allé revoir la flûte enchantée au château de Fontainebleau, et nous sommes retournés un week-end au musée Cortot, lors de la nuit blanche, 22 ans après, mais nous avons du débourser 9 euros chacun. Nous avons pu mieux voir les propriété attenantes, et la vigne.

Il y a deux ou trois mois nous avons pu écouter Mehenna Belaïd, un chanteur kabyle à Garges, et j'ai accompagné Hanifia aux studios de bry-sur-Marne, oû elle était prévue pour enregistrer au jeu Harry. Nous sommes aussi allés voir Goya à la pinacothèque, avec ces eaux fortes innovantes pour l'époque. Il y a plus de 25 ans je l'avais vu au consulat d'Espagne, mais il s'agissait surtout de fusains.

Avec une pensée émue pour José Illan qui nous a quitté. Nous sommes allés voir les Brueghel à la pinacothèque récemment.

 

Avec mes remerciements et en vous souhaitant une bonne visite.

 

De toute mon affection.

 

Christian Diez.

Especially, we display the very very warm glue in the knife, the warmest possible, by watching not to burn.

 

B) The sanding of furniture, tables and panels

The sanding is more delicate with panels. It is necessary to go there more slowly, with very few water at the beginning. The main part of the sanding makes dry. Once these sanded we again let them dry. It is only then that we are going to stick them. Panels are the highly-rated and the top of furniture, doors.

By means of a tool and of a rule, we can already bound the outlines of the panel, even sometimes but rarely that of the Greek, and cut him in the chisel.

Panels are always often painted and curled up in a ball before the stage of the veneer.

If we want to make manual craquelure, it is also thus before the veneer, not later.

The piece of furniture can already have been sanded before being stuck, especially if it is dry, but anyway, it is after the veneer of the panels that we shall let dry before sanding again until the finishes.

a) The veneer

It makes so very very warm, it is even the stage or the glue has to be the warmest possible. We use a knife.

Before the veneer, we can we have just told it to make craquelure having cut the panel.

For it we place it back to front on a plane surface, a table, with a carpet over. By means of a hold we go to a sense until obtain a manual craquelure.

Once this operation was ended, we are going to stick the panel, which let us let us specify it can already have been painted. It is even better if it was already painted, because it allows to verify in the passage if it was well sanded. Generally it will be of the yellow for a piece of furniture leather and of the white for a piece of furniture or a table ivory.

The glue being ardent (but never of boiling as usual), by means of the brooch, we coat with glue the zone of the piece of furniture or will come the panel and we coat with glue also the paper on the back of the panel. The brooch must be soaked well and stick it not necessarily too thick, but however substantial. Without losing of time, and by going very fast, we stick then the panel by using either a knife or a hold.

We manage the glue towards outside, the quite very warm, and we clean the outsides with a wet sponge to remove the glue which comes too. The panel is stuck in the piece of furniture or in the table and stuck. Everything has to be made accurately and very fast not to leave with the glue the time to cool.

Later we shall hand on a light coat of glue on the angles of the piece of furniture to the case or some glue would have left with the frictions on the holds of ground dressed in carpet during the veneer.

V. The decoration.

A) The cellulosic lacquer.

His advantage is in all the range of colors of cellulosic lacquers and in the wealth and the light, the luminosity of its pigments.

Three complementary colors, namely the yellow, the red and the blue allow to obtain very appropriate colors. Colors must always be very appropriate on the pallet, especially the white. The ranges of greens are very important and very beautiful for example in cellulosic lacquer, quite as for blues.

 Oranges are very beautiful, more still if they are not completely diluted, but let escape from imperfections. Colors earth are less supplied and less rich than in oil painting. On the other hand, the cleanliness of colors, on tones created with additives, patina, allow to make things, landscapes of a depth which we could not almost create with the oil painting.

They are pleasant colors, on the warm or cold ranges. We can as in the oil obtain neutral tones, very beautiful grey, from broken colors, from broken blancs. Only the yellow of Naples and the flesh-coloured tones remain more reserved for the oil painting. In other ornamental domains the cellulosic lacquer outclasses almost the oil painting, in particular by its cleanliness and the transparency of its ranges.

The decorative motives are made either with the lacquer or with the gilts.

 Until now, the cellulosic painting especially treated the Chinese or Japanese art, the Asian art, thus the Chinese furniture, what corresponds well enough to the sumi-e in watercolor. The technique with the hairs of the brush is very similar, mixtures also, as we soak little or many the brush, as it is fine, very fine, average or rather thick.

We can make funds with thick brushes.

The advantage of the cellulosic lacquer, is that we can also create surépaisseurs, high reliefs, by adding him of powder of whitening and by working it with a small knife. His thinner is the cellulosic thinner, its varnish is the cellulose varnish.

The cellulosic lacquer allows to realize excellent exotic, aquatic, Asian landscapes, any sorts of decorative motives. To make them we use of the talc and leaky and covered sheets of copy. We press the pear full of powder of whitening on the copy. The white points serve then as mark for the motives.

As a rough guide, I saw aquatic landscapes made by my father, with one on tones, tens of stages of decoration, lightings, shades, which carry very high what we can make with the cellulosic. Hours are needed to realize certain decorations, and only the cellulosic allows to free itself from certain difficulties or to overcome certain pictorial, floral imperatives.

We can also with thinners and cellulose varnishes work with golden powders of various pigmentation, not only the gold. They are special powders, less fine than the fugine.

b) Patina

Patina allow to age decorations by using mostly some asphalt but also on tones of varied colors added to the turpentine; sometimes also we use a little oil painting by way of on tones. They are used to warm or cool tones during the decoration, leaving of the principle which one on yellow tone warms and one on your blue cools or takes away.

Its essential object is all the same to age the piece of furniture or the table at the end of decorations by standardizing the tone of group. More uniformity gives more coherence and insurance to the work.

 Then with a cloth we can remove of the patina and the asphalt in certain zones to make spatter the bright places left lit. It emphasizes advantage the cloudy lightings.

Let us note here that ironworks are skated as and with the piece of furniture.

c) The polyester

The polyester is a very very hard varnish, which more and more serves as apprêtage, because it becomes level on surface, and becomes very hard and transparent. His only inconvenience is that we cannot work on the cellulosic, we have to content themselves with collages or with watercolor. He hardens very fast. Often, we use cardboards of color or posters under the polyester. Big watercolorists, as Le Guennec, or Kinzinger, whom my father knew in Montmartre and which crossed two years under the fire fed by the German machine guns, could use the water with the polyester. Kinzinger liked very much making religious scenes on the life and the decapitation of Saint-Denis.

d) The work in the pistol compressor.

The pistol compressor allows to follow the hand work, for example for funds, and to create clouds, by associating 2 or 3 colors. For example clouds of red on the yellow will give with the smoking a dark and warmed leather. Clouds of red so allow to give a warm and orange-coloured tone to the final harmony.

The same thing for the cold tones, the blues, the greens with their infinite ranges in the brush.

When we smoke the piece of furniture we thus use a dosage of asphalt, cellulosic thinner and varnish. Yellow pass directly in the leather. Patina later will allow to limit or to strengthen as we shall add a blue or red ( surtint ) colouring agent.

 It is possible, at least I have the vague to remember having seen my father making it very long ago, to work neutrals, these brown and ochred tones which are of use as bottom to the landscapes.

 A little as the XREF for the software AUTOCAD in computing, which is the world standard in technical drawing. This bottom possesses a tone and a neutral color (8 or 9). It is the same large-scale thing with a piece of furniture. And as in decoration the first layers are very important, and it is where one needs that no varnish, but basic pigments which will help afterward, it happens that we make it for the pistol, but it is rare. It is possible however.

It is clear that anyway every bottom is specific, and anticipates the colors of the decoration to come. We can make nevertheless already a light layer of varnish to equalize the bottom before beginning to work all the decoration on the hand. But it remains out of the question to put too much of varnish in the transition between the pistol compressor and the resumption in the hand of the decoration. The varnish is as usual only for the end.

 It arrives, as for the airbrush and the polyester, that we use hiding places, but generally in cellulosic, these are maintained in more than 10 or 15 cms of the decoration.

We can mask nevertheless in certain cases for example the Greek if they were already burnt with a roller of adhesive tape.

VI. The Greek, the engraving.

The Greek are engraved on the outsides of panels and sometimes medallions. Their exact motives are variable. To sharpen tools we bend the tool by twisting it then we sketch the point with a small grindstone, then the point is cut with a stone on which we put a little saliva. We make the tool come the other way around.

The point must be good in the center, and bent back.

 Then we place the lower left thumb of the instrument, the index and major coming to close the tool, the index above.

We also employ a wooden slide located and increased by painted notches every 3 or 4 centimeters, following the length of the Greek, as well as two steel rules. A big and a little.

With the big steel ruler, having pulled the first lines vertical to the hand by using the wooden graduated ruler, we pull the first horizontal lines on both sides. The whole describes and looks as S of set square aligned in length. Then with the small ruler or directly in the hand we close the Greek of stage in stage.

 It often happens that we engrave varied motives, and also decorations, that is sheets, trees, flowers. It requires a whole learning of the standards of engraving.

The engraving of decorations, floral landscapes is codified enough according to every craftsman.

Sometimes we put some gold dust in the striation, and with a sponge, we remove it plane surfaces. This one is in a handkerchief or a scarf in bulb which lets it spread on the surface and especially inside the striation or the gold dust will stay.

We engrave so sometimes nets, but less often. It is rather when these will be gilded. To the workshop, it is I mostly that made the Greek.

VII. The gilt.

It is these Greek which when the decoration will be finished will be coated with mixture and gilded or silvered in the sheet. These same gilts will be slightly skated and standardized everything at the end.

Previously, we shall a little have highlighted the red of the mixture with a moistened white powder, a sort of talc, so as to age the gilt by making little return the red of the mixture to give her a rusty tone. Indeed, the mixture is either a craft transparent mixture of the trade, or mostly and it is more economic a glycérophtalique painting of red color, which we shall highlight thus slightly to marry her with the gold. The gold is little aesthetic when it is alone, it has to win everything to be emphasized by different agents.

Une solution à base de bitume permet de raviver la dorure pour finalement la protéger avec de l’alcool. Il ne faut pas se tromper dans le traitement de l’or, et je ne me souviens pas de toutes les recettes. Il ne faut pas inverser les étapes.

VIII. Patina, on tones.

Patina add up of on tones. A lot of people does not know how to skate, because this operation asks for a big physical strength at the level of arms and of front arm. Indeed to skate request of the physical capacities, a big vigour in the work, and it is the most important.

It is easy to skate badly, badly to skate means arranging a standardized dark color, what people make mostly, including with the modern comic strip. I think in particular of the airbrush in the water, which in reality is only taking back an unimportant part of the principle of the real patina, of which one of the essential purposes remains to age.

In furnishing, we skate at the same time to age and to give more quality to the lightings and in on tones, we never standardize completely the work, on the contrary, we leave her a little bit irregular. For it we add very few turpentine with the asphalt, and it is made in the strength of arms, by resting(supporting)

For it we add very few turpentine with the asphalt, and it is made in the strength of arms, by supporting hardly and by moving forward irregularly, but gradually.

Many craftsmen, including the Asian, do not know how to skate. We do not skate if it does not there take place to make it, as on mother-of-pearls for example in the unnecesary complications, nor on polyester.

The patina is a part of a whole, an artistic group colors, of ranges, lightings, a composition. She asks for vigour and for physical strength, for very few turpentine, for a clean surface cleared of any dusts.

It is the most important stage, the one who will give not the uniformity but the final character of pigments. We cannot take easy her, and it is by the sweat of his brow that my father decided on finishes, by paying of his person. It was not necessary question to put a strong dose of turpentine and to wait that all the decoration marries a single uniform tint, that never.

A good patina requires a major power and a vigour of execution, associated with a strong ornamental understanding, with a good interpretation of decorations.

IX. Varnishs, finish.

Varnishs come everything at the end. They serve to fix the patina to the lacquer and the whole decoration. Their composition as that of the patina can vary slightly, as they will have more varnishs or more turpentine, as they will be more or less liquid or thick.

It is better to make them before the gilt, because the finishes are alcoholic. You should not too much put it on the Greek.

The colorless varnish has for principle to be passkey, and to fix well the lacquer.

The patina have especially to be very dry and penetrated well before varnishing, and the varnish neither has too much to have to be diluted, nor had to have to too thick.

For this stage, the pistol compressor is rather indispensable, at least more than everywhere else. His regulation is made at the same time according to the pressure of the pistol, and also according to the distance with the support.

X. The repairs, the rebouchages.

The repairs are what costs most expensively to the craftsman and what interests him least financially.

But he has to make them, because it is a security of stability and seriousness for his company. When it is done well, conceived well, and fast made, it's good. It should not drag on or be badly made.

We repair well on by reusing some whitening, that is some glue if the wood is in nude. If the wood is not in nude we can employ some cold cellulosic lacquer, mixed and thickened with some powder of whitening.

 It is always necessary to clean and to dry-clean the surfaces of the piece of furniture or the table which took knocks and which are to repair. We can when we go to the private individual to repair directly by taking a little coloured varnish, about as the one who is used during the smoking, so as to make up the imperfections and the defects.

It is also necessary to warn the customer and to warn him. It happened that a customer puts a warm and ardent iron on the decoration of a table. The lacquer is fragile, and even in time, when for example the humidity begins to penetrate into apprêtages as soon as a hole or a small boho formed. The wet corners are disadvised. Such furniture more has to win to have spaces empty and aerated on both sides.

 Oil painting, in the water, pastel, cellulosic lacquer, decorations, still lives, the landscapes can be handled on all the possible and conceivable supports.

XI.Conclusions.

We saw it, the offensive against the old corporate association exists, it is real. There is a real confusion which took place between the modernization, the progress, and what we made, that is we attacked smokestack industries while they are the prerequisite, the prelude to all the industries. And it under the pretext of modernization, without taking into account the quality.

It is alarming to notice how budgetary masses, important subsidies, go to modern and creative said sectors of employment, and not to the others more creative of employment. Any training judges itself on the level and the quality.

Multinationals do not understand it of this ear and look unfavourably on the pool of jobs which represents the small business sector and understand only their profit.

To counter-attack there is/are not only the law of the number, but it is clear that some only individuals can nothing. The cottage industry would have to can have the same economic power at the time of counters, and we have do not still to be there for the moment.

 There is no joint plan on a national scale, it belongs to the industrial partners to decide on it and to sit down at the same table.

 Finally, it is necessary to pay tribute to those who made the profession and fought all their life for her, those about whom we never speak, whose good faith is not to be any more demonstrated, and not to those who shot down her by hijacking the principle of the tax ( the URSSAF - French Body Managing Social Security Patments And Funds ) in their own profit and for bureaucratic profits.

 Who says at the end about the small business sector said at the end of the freedom to undertake and at the end about the freedom every court. We shall never insist enough above.

 The last three years of the life of my father took place in Montmartre, district which he knew like the back of his hand. The district of the watercolorist Kinzinger, which spent two years under the fire of the German machine guns. He liked very much making watercolors on the life of Saint-Denis as I said it. My father knew all the district, and all his history, of Charles-Nodier to Marcel Aymé, until Cézanne, Van Gogh, Utrillo, Gen Paul and so many others. All the big painters before, hanging and after the impressionism sound past there. In particular by the museum of Montmartre, in 12 street Cortot or he painted and worked. The wash-shed of Picasso is just below.

He was member of the association " Les amis d' Utrillo " and also admirer in the basilica of the sacred - heart. Often went to us to the mass of 10:00 pm, and he knew well people, regular customers of the district, people of the Mound in a way.

 He painted a lot in Montmartre, especially views with Marthe Vertex (and not Berthet), widow of the poet Jean Vertex, who often has him served as model.

 Utter and Suzanne Valadon, the parents of Utrillo, lived in the apartment, below which lived Claude Estier, which my father also loathed and who was never there.

Just to the right. It is in these floors that my father saved a lot of sculptures and objects for which he made and put workbenches in joinery.

 In the floor above its apartment accommodated Claude Charpentier, whom my father hated excessively, he made an incredible noise, with his daughter, whom I have never seen and who was I consider paralytic.

  Paul Yaki speaks in " The Montmartre of our twenty years " p. 103 to 105 of Octave Charpentier. He describes very well the 12 street Cortot in these pages. Raoul Dufy passed there also, Emile Bernard also.

 Carpenter held somebody, doubtless his daughter. My father did not stop cursing him and giving quick sweeps to the ceiling to make stop the noises of groans. Although it is there, he considered him as a "cheat".

 We could as regards this artistic period of his life speak about hypozeuxe (or parallelism). Mrs Vertex was one of only persons who relied on him, and whom he trusted, the former owner of the apartment of Utrillo as we said it. We could also speak about énallage, which is the exchange of time, of a number or of a person against another time, another number, another person. She was a woman of transition, his hégérie and his last muse.

  He made some self-portraits which contain a certain anxiety and a certain interrogation and intro or review, as the paintings that he made with blue and green cold tones of my grandmother evoke well enough her disease, the alzheimer. His painting stuck very closely on the subject.

In the time, because Montmartre is the last time of its painter's life, and a little his district of adoption and death, I had taken him to the lounge of the independents to expose with the Catalan painter, the surrealist Prudencio Salvador Asencio, the friend who had come home to this opportunity.

 He often went to the basilica, or he knew a hurdy-gurdy queen blind person; he was an admirer, his friend father Charnin, Swiss priest, often came to visit him to the museum.

 Synecdoche, metonymy and metaphor are three tropes more collectively called figures of sense which we find in his work. The synecdoche is based on a relation of inclusion, the metonymy on a logical continuity (take a stand with the whole), as for the metaphor, it is based on a relation of analogy.

In fact, we find many stylistic devices in his work, even if this one is difficult to interpret.

It is true that the painting humanized, became more democratic, and even spread on a large scale, but after all, we little spoke about the painting to the twentieth century of an intellectual point of view.

The only ones who gave another image of the painting are the successors of Freud and Jung, the Lacanian, I think in particular of Ollivier Kaeppelin, or some other schools of psychiatry in Europe. Let us say those who explained a party of the painting by stylistic devices. Since Aristote until the tropes of the twentieth century, many things evolved.

But for the rest, and it is a constant, we left the artists little aside.

And then somewhere, an artist is always a little bit crazy also.

 My father knew in his lifetime many of the big artists, we could not all quote them. But during his life, he was went alongside to a large number. He had the opportunity to take a stand for Francis Bacon in front of a journalist, who is a little in England the heir of Turner and Edward Burne-Jones, in the sense that as my father he tended to create disorders and to awaken the sensibilities almost everywhere. He also knew very big Asian, Italian, French, Spanish artists. He liked very much Fujita, and this famous American photographer, Man Ray.

 To tell the truth, all passed by the museum Cortot, which acts a little here as funnel of the Mound, it is the place of certain vulgus sung by Francis Carco and many others, just a little higher than the Agile Rabbit. Artists of any tendencies, all the circles, found themselves there.

Montmartre is a little a galaxy to part. Montparnasse is a small answer.

It is rather the district of the Americans.

 It is clear to take a little of height of view that Jesus is Turkish piece to a certain extent, Turkey were one of country to the world which has the largest number of holy places any merged confessions. It is there either is the grave of the Virgin Mary, the place or Paul was imprisoned, or are the rests of the prophet Mahomet. Really, we say that the mother of Jesus simply lived there, it is everything.

Although Jesus besides Greek and besides Hebrew spoke about the Aramaic, about language to which is rather close the church Chaldean, so criticized assyro as soon as Ministers claim to show secularism. The word Jesus has the shape of a fish in Greek.

Moreover, I knew Rénara Delatre, one of the biggest Greek Azeri and Turkmen pianists of the world, the origin. The fact that the Christ has a universal title, is of for the reduction in attendance of churches, for the crisis of the vocations. It is also a way as Saint Thomas to reduce things to their simplest expression, to the main part.

I would say that the discovery of the gospel of Judas should bring a major lighting to the civilized world.

I remember having gone to a mass with Nina in tribute and in memory of president Poher.

The church of France is more active than we believe. And especially, she shows modesty, attention and moves forward only with infinite precautions.

Certain current Ministers, who do not hesitate to call up to the racial hatred against the church, or qualify her as sect, are people who in a normally constituted democracy, should be considered and to go to prison. Their ignorance keeps pace with their totally upstart conception, ENA alumni do not know how to any more or look of the head, do not stop attackingshort of young Ministers.

Very opportunist people are got through one more time the stitches of the net.

The separation between the church and the state is a thing, but what consists in decreasing whole pieces of the official church is the other one. It is for the justice to seize such declarations.

It is another shutter of our society, that of the laissez-faire, that of a totally instrumented parliamentary bureaucracy, that plays his partition indefatigably, strikes its knocks against the most miserable, the poorest. As if it had become overnight shameful to build an oriental assyro Chaldean church or a mosque.

A force of opposition, a capacity of reaction and uprising is missing.

And only the people can suggest solutions, at the need to rage, punishing people who express themselves according to them in the name of all and of the quite whole national community, nothing less. It is necessary to endow our institutions of a real judiciary against François Fillon and the other gravediggers of the republic.

 The genius of the artists of yesterday, that of the artists of tomorrow, will always be to amuse, to enlighten the masses by refusing to bend the spinal column in front of decreed standards as we oppress the poorest layers of the population.

An artist produces wealth with his own hands, he does not have to be ashamed there.

Those who should be ashamed today, it is all the politicians' troop who made of the fifth republic an anteroom of the third, a merciless system or any initiative is irreparably stopped by those who think of having the right to decide of what is good and what is bad.

 It is their own reading of the right that has no sense. The main crisis of the democracy lies in the simple fact that we can admit that the right is governed by such a way by some some, hammering constantly the vision of the world.

As wrote it Gautier: " any soul is a sepulchre where are lying one thousand things ".

From there same way, it will be a question one day of continuing the accomplished work, and of continuing the road which was drawn. Sartre criticized Gautier notice, I believe that he was right a little bit also to distance himself already.

My work and my experience crossed as archivist in the Louvre of the Antique dealers at the same moment as the works of the travel of the Mona Lisa reminded me that the Louvre is the biggest museum of the world, the symbol of the art in France.

France is not a democracy as the others. The proof is there that we made tons of zyklon B to Villers-saint-Sépulcre, in the Oise, during the war, as we produced it to Dessau, near Halle, in oriental Germany. The country knew its dark hours, its hours of chaos and ugliness, as all other countries.

The homeland of human rights widely collaborated in the destruction of the western civilization.

But when I read the works of the mathematician H.E. Huntley on the golden section, when I measure the infinite area of what can bring the mathematics to the art, I notice that the hope exists, he is tangible and tangible. And I catch examining and formulating mathematical hypotheses, because as wrote it Poincaré: " the experience is the only source of the truth ".

Saint Louis made about twenty times to the abbey of Royaumont, where I found the book of the English mathematician H.E. Huntley and Marguerite Neveux. The recoil taken on the civilizations of the antiquity gives another outline of the mathematics, which aims towards the synthesis.

This experience, this approach of the beautiful, for example the reports between phi ( φ = 1,61803, φ’' = 0,61803 ), the golden section, and pi ( π = 3,14 ) or the other very numerous mathematical dimensions in the field of the geometry and of the algebra, this office of the artistic construction of which √ 5, allows us to get closer to a picture which would be the one of our current report in the art and in the beauty, that of the image of our own dimension thrown on our architectural and other realizations.

 The man suffered from his experiences, and he again has to learn everything. The works of Fibonacci ( Léonard de Pise), its famous continuation, as Pascal's triangles, the Chinese triangle, are so many elements which prove the age of the investigations within the mathematics and the considerable importance of the golden report.

The myth of the golden section φ = ( √ 5 + 1 )/2 and φ’ = ( √ 5 - 1 )/2 extends in the music, in the painting. We find it everywhere in the nature. We find it in the technical drawing, of the building, the plumbing, the air conditioning.

We always find it a little bit by surprise, unexpectedly In the Greek, in the floral decorations, in all which returns the substantial and constant small business crafts.

  This tenth party, I partially also drafted her for people who doubtless wish to know a little better my ideas. I think for example of Miss Ghaza, one athlete Syrian who was a world champion of heptathlon in Carolina Klüft's trail, just before its ascent, and why not in all those who hate me. They have the right me to criticize, but doubtless not all the rights either. I am not situated above everything, but I am situated on my place of barker, entertainer and strange and not too intelligent character either.

  I do not think of being a carpet for all that as thought of it my regretted brother David, and I have more honor than believed it my aunt Edith, but I stop here these useless debates, she had does well there reason. The world is what it is. A wide public, I noticed it, wishes to integrate the fabulous character whom was Manuel Diez Matilla by way of me, his younger son. I indeed want to serve as humble relai. I indeed owe him that. I admit the thoughtful and reasonable criticism. Because my role also is to inform. At least in my spirit.

 " El viento puede llévar todavia mas has veces ". " Subimos has tieso ". " Estamos a tutellar y a soto ". Let us stop any pride. Edith was doubtless also right. I would go even farther and I would say that Germany possesses a healthier, more objective and more critical vision. Certain recoil pulled over its situation.

  " Dale que te pego ", as said my father. " Séguimos andando ". It is true that you are all the same more than 10500 persons and some which are until today interested in the character and in the outstanding painter that he was. The public is a judge, it is a barometer and a serious indication of the success of an artist. And my father, even after his death, represents certain inescapable values, as well in the field of the oil painting as in that some cellulosic lacquer. He spoke about the only one

He spoke about a single way, and almost in the name of all Spain, at any rate he was one of rare Spanish must to have reached such an artistic and pictorial level for decades. I listened to all which went out of its mouth.

  I could say that I liked a lot a few months ago Michel Boujenah's funny show in the space Lino Ventura from Garges, who precedes of enough little the events of Tunisia, the outcome of which in spite of mortal confrontations seems happy at the moment. At any rate I hope for it for this country, because regrettably, the opposition MPs refused the experience which was offered to them of the power. The politics of the tense hand did not work. It understands, because this revolution counts already more than victims' hundred, and now much more. Boujenah is an immense coarse humour.

  I still loved a lot the movie " The Hottentot " that I saw in the cinema Jaques Prévert. He seemed to me at the same time funny and sad humiliating and perverse coach, finally if we want, because the production is what she is and in the situation which she also gives itself. At the bottom of my thought, I wish to return more to the Spanish language, but also to the language as the Hebrew there.

  However, I am not so fooled. There is as well a Yiddish, German, English, and then fact as realities seem clear or not. Arabic is also the language of a billion persons, the Altaic languages are also very interesting, the Aramaic is a part of it, the Armenian, the Turkish. There are so many interesting languages.

  I did not find as Hanifia that we had to deal with a dark Cuban actress. If Micaëla sees one day the movie, she will find it doubtless rather funny. My brother David listened to towards the end of his days the Cuban singer Compay Segundo a lot. It is a big actress and a comedienne.

 The Hebrew for Jesus stays the poor relation, the reference language, the most neutral, the most inescapable language. But his enemies were been already daylight. Already they want to put to death him as to fossilize him in this dead language.

 Let us try to return to our recent time there to sketch some more contemporary works on the Gaullist thought, that at the origin of a general endowed it is true with an important nobility of soul, but indifferent sometimes to the social poverty of the North, computer and deceitful according to his enemies, finally to a certain extent, because the greediness of the power always devoured a good part of the main Gaullist leaders also. Rather the top than bases it moreover.

Of these hypocritical and blind conspirators according to some who always make the things of such way, that at the end, Moroccan as the others, Americans for example, will always say to you that Hitler and Franco had only a single testicle between some crimes furthermore, some mediocrities furthermore or only his women know how to arrange the blow and save face, and still.

 De Gaulle was built a constitution for the own shoulders, by Lecanuet, Jacques Chaban-Delmas and Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Its journey in Russia, its blindness about the line Oder-Neisse, while 12 million Germans lost their homeland, demonstrates it is true the madness and the total political unconsciousness of the character. Our family also had its own roots in East Prussia.

  And still, this democratic centralism is so serious? We can indeed come there by the other ends, it goes of is also, even if certain Moroccans are very cute, but melted in their system of thought in the grip of many difficulties in the contact of the Christian world. I am not there either to give reason or invent excuses which they do not have to the dictators. " No dice enseguida … ".

  The earthquake of the games of Barcelona, which saw the consecration of some some of the leaders who contributed to the murder of half of Europe, participates in the wreck of a generation, formerly carried in the naked, but who eventually found at the end. Even if were missing not some demonstrators' tens, but thousands not to say millions. Meanwhile, we passed in have it, refusing to ally us, slightly in fire-back, but refusing all the same. The reasons of state do not allow everything.

 I did not specially hate Jacques Chaban-Delmas's book " Memoirs for tomorrow ".

I like for example a passage or it delivers its reflection page 143:

" But it is necessary to recognize that with the lightning progress of the broadcasting the debate changed nature. The paper, we take him to read it; the image, we are taken by her. The paper allows the spirit to anticipate the sense of the words. The image is the homeland of the feelings. The paper constitutes by excellence the vehicle of the ideas. The image gives to understand only by giving to feel. The paper is a rifle the words of which are bullets. The broadcasting artillery kicks out ".

 Of course, Chaban in its gaullienne tradition is not either the German journalist Peter Scholl Latour, who it is true is rather critical in his book "Hexagonie", but he takes place de facto from the point of view seems you he of a member of Parliament, and not from the point of view of a soldier or of a politician eager for power and for lie, everything in

 Scholl Latour as for him, at least it remains underlying in its rather masterful and typically German book, does not leave inevitably untold the most absolute what according to him represents the evil made in Germany.

 What he brings back on the Saar and brushes on the even French or German politicians is interesting. What he depicts on the relations between Aachen and Reims, on the history of both countries also, in particular as regards May, 68 or the general branch of the Capetians also. He defines Jacques Chirac as a neo-Gaullist, what seems to me true.

  I hold besides Chaban however more technician he is not. Page 233 he brushes, I say it at the risk of deceiving me heavily, a painting of its vision as regards Pierre Mendès France.

  François Mitterrand will also have his vision of things on this subject. Leaving above, there does not seem be of ambiguity, and nevertheless, it is a relative symptom also between what what seems to me good to be the report, the relation sometimes distended between the political world and the Jews, at least in France.

 There is thus a difficulty of the Gaullists in cuissage of assumption, or smoke screen, but the Moroccan or Arabic film-maker who realized the movie " The Hottentot ", does not he also make the same thing of the Arabic point of view? Let us stop the action here some time. Yes, it exists in Europe, and I do not think of getting lost of many, social, societal relationships. They are sometimes dark, even absconds, because Africa, mythical earth, is also nice as in the grip of its own interests of domination also. But globally, we are in the humor or the melodrama.

  In the moment or whole populations stigmatize a part of Europe, I think in Castile, there or take root my deep origins, and assume the right  to make reign all the forms of terror, you should not either show itself too naïve. Empty shells and kingly utopias are not less numerous. It is not however still for lack of having tried or tempted something again.

  More nobody wants a conscript army in Europe, at least in France, but of which really returns you it ? Is it really serious? And was the past like that die-hard so much that they are there? The education sank into the cynicism and the corporatism for a long time. Body and the good. However, Borgia, that did they really bring in Rome, and the apostles, that did they bring to the lions of the circus except their useless flesh? And these cruel Italian, which do they bring they? And the Catholics, whom did they thus invent of so incredible if it is not themselves?

 French divert everything in their own image and in their own interest, for a long time.

 Let us be serious, De Gaulle was responsible cold and cynical to refuse to receive Franco, who was half Galician half Castilian, as there are indeed Galicians pure origin, but which walk in it too? He too tried to fall over towards the autarky.

 It is not a very big secret, but it brings to light certain deceitful and deceptive calculations as states do not have to adduce in so cynical a way either. The psychological weapon often overrides the reasons of state, and as this one is often a delusion and a decoy. It is not still enough to bandage eyes. 

 There is by default a Big and Small Spain, naivety, that it is not completely acquired.

Because there are also the powers of the disinformation, the cynicism and the lie, the manipulator strengths.

 The republic is also a laboratory of imbecile collected as in a steam room. A gaping abyss opened to all the donkeys of the earth. Let us leave his horns with the bull, it for the better need, as we need our teeth. Tudela is the first hour, Bernardo's new property to Tordesillas will be the second.

  The coast of the Gallic warrior is partially also in question. Vercingétorix is also a load and almost a lost cause, or rather badly committed. His fate fell over in Rome.

 Jesus speaks in reality for the Hebrew people, but he thinks of it not less inevitably. The house of Israel can vacillate, be in question. But she knows the ins and outs.

  The Aramaic is also the language of the Christ, as Greek.

  Israel can thus rock, as of surcroit and by extension all the houses. Having said that, there is one " but here is ". Roberjot drives its engineering consulting firm as one even a cow to the dairy also. The economic report also remains a balance of power, finally if we want, this report is underlying and involves at the same time as it distils the influence and the strength of the decisions.

 If Jesus speaks of decimate of the truth, he makes it by advancing a little bit also, in let us try and by suppositions. Nothing of excess wizard either. Steffi Graf will thus have children half more quietened down Iranian. Let us call back it, Iran declared the war in Germany to make cross its commonplaces, the Pan-Arabism possesses some suspect ways also. The pressure is the pressure, decimates him steals beyond the balance of power. It is also the law of the democracy.

 In fact, Jesus does not look for the absolute and perfect truth, but rather the more succeeded and more imperfect truth, that of a certain ultimate fuzziness.

 Nevertheless, it also seems to me to employ the language of the precision. I am not either decimates it of the truth without being sometimes a little bit precise.

 I never give in to the oppression, to the intimidation. I have all the same hundreds of victories, hundreds of fights, and I do not want to pass an old imbecile simpleton and a lantern, obedient and orderly, whom I am not really either.

 The rosary on the honor is not harmless, but the smell of the decomposition does not decree. Before anything else, Jesus does not want completely fooled, he will be pious as a Roman emperor, but any proportions kept well, because he is not either in that case there.

  Mecca also is only a city. And if a Christian does not want to give money for the construction of a mosque, let us pledge that he can obviously make it also. What of easier.

I make it of good heart.

 It is not doubtless enough still to appear with all its stenches, I came humbly and cleanly. I asked for nothing to anybody, to whoever it is.

 But it is here, and very here, that the stuffing of urns, the uselessness of the armies, their corruption, becomes again very fast an evidence. George Bush also knows. Vietnam will have been only a repetition as the other one, the human and inhuman laboratory among the others.

Yes the real history of the Kennedy for example seems nevertheless good to be the one of a family of Irish Catholic I believe, these married indeed to a French (Jacqueline Bisset), yes the character extrapolateur of the man, what consists for him to spread in various analyses is not completely secret. But the real nature of the man is another question. When my father had dexposed to Valançay, he had effectively paid the journalists to make hima little advertising, by simple coquetry. To launch his workshop and its activity, also.

 But the historians will not say at once about him that he also worked for Mr or Mrs Dupont and so on, and at so many private individuals. Let us consider here a Jesus Christ who knows how to argue about unlimitedness, but who does not believe necessarily blunders, and not hidden Jesuit, computer and cold, but a Jewish leader with its codes. All Graf did not either murder Jews in pits in shot. A lot of people is called "Graf", "Diez", and so on also. However, if the imbecile govern the earth, it awakens so sometimes the attention of big well hidden characters.

" Dar has trigo ", " Péro has quien? ". It is also a possible debate. Jesus knows that the Jews understand, but here is also a historic unknown or things took a course at least clear and known. Do they really want to advance the world seriously? There live(lie) a new problem, that also of the lack of inspiration, but also a calcified universe.

 For him, so much thus to become a king of Jews, it is faster indeed. However, from such a point of view, there is either no Claude Monet who likes his time. Almost nothing of it which exists today does not exist in his time.

 It will be necessary to him to admit defending the cause of the Jews, it will be necessary to him to integrate this reality which for us the other Christians is not completely obvious. Moreover, the cause of the republic is not so far either, but than is it really? Nothing else than itself, obviously.

 Of other one quoted,which really authorizes us to believe in the virtues of the Christianity?

So to speak, practically nothing. It is a fact. There is nothing either to glean in such a religion. Our crédo own commits only we, and naturally, commits us to nothing either.

 That's why Jesus believes sincerely that the Jews summarize what for them stays and remains justified. But well, there is effectively a public question, and this stabbing interrogation:

" Why let us defend ourselves beak and nails the community, while ourselves let us know all the perversity of this pseudo-principle worn down at the heel for centuries ". Doubtless because we arrange means to make it anyway, and of the required knowledge. Even of the inspiration.

 And ao, because things are separated, and even with De Nittis, friend of Claude Monet, because it is the principle of the Greco-lsLatin culture, but it is only a last resort. The Christianity is sometimes also felt as a duty in spite of its incandescent genius. The retrospective dedicated to Monet knew a very big success.

 In fact, if Jesus re-knows the right of the Jews to have themselves, he does not re-know them inevitably the right to guarantee anything, and exactly, the world is also anything, whoever. That is what thinks partially, but partially only Jesus, and still.

Mrs Rummo says nothing too serious either, down from her perch, or in the grave or she immured herself living being.

" Protect the identity of the cultures in front of systems " as says it Chaban. Which demagoguery also. Especially in a country one we have never produced so much of zyklon B for the Nazis, or laboratories Pasteur effectively caused the infertility of million women, without counting the rest, with the last scandal of laboratories Servier. What of better?

And the crimes for which Mendès France guaranteed? And what they called " the Algerian War ", without ever giving her even a name, but by making a suitability?

Peter Scholl Latour places Mendès to the left, even if Mitterand distrusted him at the time of its relative alliance of circumstance with Waldeck-Rochet. Chaban places him more to the right. For Peter Scholl Latour, he wanted to by-pass the communist party by the left.

 Who could consider here the point view French exactly? Nobody, naturally.

Jesus knows it: there is either no system, but codes, lies, perfidies, treasons, the imaginary truths of circumstance, balance of power and contempt.

Yes, to a certain extent, the winners cannot be situated instead of the losers, and mutually.

 Poor Amélie Vandepush or not, anyway, real De Gaulle is blind socially due to his own nature, he drives partially masked. No Dresden, it is not Grozny. Yes the French-speaking point of view is suspect.

 That made set apart French us steal our women, us despoil of our rights, us slander, us libel? The country of Sarkozy, the extreme-right and the FN has good back.

How could their truth be serious today? Really, the party is finished for a long time. For them too. Their pseudo-truth is turned down the corner well.

The proletariat is a constant. The planned economy, it is also the bet of the ignorance and the negation of the realities, the dodge of the poverty.

 Of course, who says genocide, ethnocide, as in Rwanda, in Liberia, or somewhere else in Africa, understands very well that everything is affair " of Einfluss ", of influence, influenza, et cetera.

The whites and the blacks see it good. A first party is very fast played. Joan of Arc dies all the same finally in flames and on the bucher.

 The trick she, exists well. Little by little, the colonial ex-empires lost their influence, their credibility.

 As for the gospel of Judas, it is not obviously the will of Judas. As for sound thirteenth as he calls him himself, it is obviously its thirteenth, but really, here is all the cleverness also.

 Here is which bridge with the real world seems consumed well. And especially, because the Spanish language is vast and diverse, how Jesus sees the Jewish world: with the two eyes. As he said it: " you see the straw which is in the eye of your brother, but kept silent does not see the beam which is in your eye ".

 Of course, the house of Israel is not either above everything. The "Don Fernando" also settles down. Later at least, and to a certain extent also. The cancer also settles down, and at every level. We lost so little by little the contact with Spain, with these extraordinary people, these funny people, with the humor so particular, and creative.

 Jesus speaks of decimate of the truth, because he understands the drama of the life, between what we wanted, what we really made, and what is, and this time, the word " nothing " is a different problem, even if it is recurring. A word which wants to say nothing more about the whole.

 Forgotten the remarkable Anselmo Fuerte, Gutierrez, the team-mate of Ocaña I believe, or Bahamontès, the tolédan, the cycling is indeed a sport of strength which liked fanatically my two brothers opened to all but also free. One of our friends lives a few kilometers away from Toledo.

 My father did not love too much the tenors of the cycling, but he often accompanied my two brothers in the cycling.

 But let us look henceforth a little farther, and we shall easily see the bell towers of the big and small Spain answering also. Here is how also.

 Of course everything is so openly, and of course Pierre is only Pierre. He is only a traitor, a renegade. Of course, Jesus does not believe inevitably everything. He suspects as well as the echo of our dreams is not still the reflection there, and as our whims are very diverse, our at least contradictory attitudes, but our purposes on earth are and remain that they are, moreover, most of our claimed objectives are vain already. Pierre is also a load, a traitor. 

  Behind the prestigious facade of the head of the church hides the traitor from the Christ, the ruined computer.

 For example, I cannot refrain from thinking that I do not live either in Hiroshima, or in Nagasaki, but I managed to integrat the other systems of thought and reflection. I do not argue by the space, but I also try to discern the common sense. And does the common sense exist here? At any rate, I understand these people.

 If I was Jesuit, I would indeed say to myself that there is not in priori of difference to beg in the street, ask for a cigarette, and stretch out a little money or give one. But I am not Jesuit, I am not Saint Thomas either, and for all that I do not believe necessarily in papal turkeys, in cars, and in big media carnival. Then, what I believe?

 And indeed I believe that god is an entity buried in each of us, but that from a generation to the other one, he makes figure of relative utopia. I believe that the alliances are partially made only in the hypocrisy, the bad faith, the obscurantism et cetera. We are too much eradicated in the long run to remain on a stable line.

 I think that we are every independents, but really also. It does not there take place either to believe in the karma. The stories exist only directly, they end directly also.

We are not all gifted children or working madmen, nor lazy people. It is not true either.

 Poor people, we are him all. Idiots and victims, we are him all also. But the universe is not as we him represent ourselves. He is separated from our projections, and well and truly. Because everything is enemy us on earth, and because communities live mostly in the separate state. Here is which reflection seems to me different.

 Each possesses the demagoguery in its mouth, each wants to win for him, but not really otherwise. There is really no standard, but the paunch and the wallet speak to the outside world, and the real world answers what he indeed wants to answer. There is inevitably no secret, but passages throughout or god misleads and combines his ewes. When the community cement is wet, our lives scatter in the nothingness.

 The work is so partially a false definition of the man, one claimed that it defines as his, because it finds nothing else in front of him, because the man is rejected if he does not defend himself, chased if he forbids himself, because he can believe only in the work and in anything else, it is all which stays in him. But there is a man.

 And when the woman becomes the handmaid of the nothing, it is its affair and its problem also.

 Of course Jesus lived, of course he has increases, and of course he made not "career" as we think of it, but of course he fast understood that it would not be possible either, and that it did not more remain than to invent the church for good. If ever the opportunity to make it would seriously have appeared.

 For the rest, it is true which our lives in all continue, which the painter was and will be again, the master was and will dead. The immigrants were and will be, welcomed. It is true that my question is reflexive also. I have my defects, god has his also, the other peoples also want to enslave it the others, they arrive there ever either. Nothing is easily made on earth. Nobody is fooled and everybody is for himself while god is for him too. In you he only serious objectives as regards the man?

 Then, I would mean to Miss Ghaza that she would doubtless be welcome to me too. As it is never known! And why not? After all, it is a fancy of the mind? What is it not rather what we call all the same " the field of the possible "? The conceivable in a way. What still falls about under the common sense in our own unconscious, this dark and perceptible breath which floods the mockery of our lives.

 The written mode possesses an appearance of logic, even if it is demolished by the antagonisms and all which comes against us. He also wants the reflection, the historic witness of the work of art, his relative understanding, at the moments different and underlying. It is also a vector of distribution and popularization. He serves a little bit also to fix the limits of the work and the accomplished task.

  Hanifia is brought in by Algeria and we went to see " Big sick body " in the space Lino Ventura from Garges on February 5th. It was not bad, very funny. She works in a residence on Celle Saint-Cloud. Important personalities are welcomed at the end of life there. Doctors among others.

  Passed for example the ex-trainer of Mari-José Perec there, died in the abandonment and the anonymity. If also finds there at present the former Italian actress, "Ana-Maria", the wife of Jean Sorel, the actor who pulled Pierre, the husband of Catherine Deneuve in Luis Bunuel's movie "Belle de Jour". I had seen it for the first time in Madrid, when we had taken me to visit the cousins of Madrid, I was quite small in the time.

 The movie was rerun there is little on the small screen. Jean Sorel, it is its actor's name, comes to visit her every day, in the second floor: " Call me Jean ", he says. But the discretion is rigorous in these establishments. Hanifia works on the third floor, but sometimes also on the second. Jean Sorel possesses a building particular boulevard Haussmann, not very far from the construction site for which I worked recently on the same boulevard as account manager with ERCC.

Ana Maria Ferreiro, whom he comes and sees every day, has been also an Italian actress, and was married to Vittorio Gasmann.

 I am always between missions of temporary work. We fell over from a world to another world. The know-how gets lost and dilutes in the time and the space. We have not more than the vestiges of the last time, witnesses of the greatness of time and of societies at the middle feudal at the middle primitive.

Synopsis and context of the work of Manuel Diez Matilla

  Without the former order, the order is saying modern and evolved would not move forward, as Gainsbourg would not practically have existed without Dvorak, or Racine without Tirso de Molina or the Cid of Castro. Any Romanic or Gothic truth is master of its implications. The Gitanillos from Jerez are for example the biggest dancers and the biggest dancers whom I have never seen of my life. This highlight, I saw her with Nina.

I was lucky in my life to see and to intend to sing one of the biggest, doubtless the biggest mezzo-soprano of the world, with my father. She is Argentine and sings in the Argentine classic directory so splendidly exceptional. The vocal art pushed to such a level is a question of another order, another dimension. My father already evoked this question in an autobiographical personal text which he left on the fire of the church Santa Catalina arisen in 1957 to Toro. The manuscript is very previous apparently to the concert of the RTVE in the TMP

 A diva of this talent can allow to let escape from sounds and melodies " callejeros ", most callejeros possible. We shall talk again of it in some decades, when the others will vainly try to imitate it.

The serious art is inimitable, its invoice is brought up always incredibly. It is not the murderers and the butchers of today who can venture in these exercises.

Exactly, the art, the truth, the big, is an exercise which distances itself from the common.

Sometimes he throws a glance by far, but always with a height of view or a way of equating and of highlighting all the cheeky humour of the common people.

The own, the bottom of the classic art, is to bring in such or such strength, such or such moment, to show and to restore the perusal, to bring its leg otherwise than by incantations.

 The rigor of a conductor Italian as Campanella, the genius of his decorators, makes of the opera which announces a company of very high scale, a very high claim and a very strong artistic level. Even at the dawn of the XXIth century, the hard-line strength shows itself capable of seducing the public.

Certainly, it is not the most wide-spread question, but the facts are there, the coldest classicism can again have a rigor, ideas force, and to stand out. It is a fact.

A) The signs of a revival.

It would be vain to think that the art is going to stop existing. The official art is powerful for a long time. The big totalitarian ideologies included him, of left as right.

They make live a model or all which is critic is sacrilegious by nature, all which is not in the standards fixed by the market of the art is squalid.

 The art which interests us, and the word art means way of life, is more in margin it is true of the society. It is the one which makes a community of interests, live and also a cultural community. Why cannot the jobs not disappear?

Because they are useful for the blooming of the man and for his dignity.

The genius of most of the religions is to have known how to give a vision, objective or subjective.

A long time, the art was placed in the center of the decisions, in the center of the powers, in correspondent to a fixed company. For example queen Sophie of Greece comes down from Vélasquez. She decides on whom will have a foundation, which modern work will have this, what is good. What is not him. The same thing in France, following the powers in position the central power decides on attributions. This system falls from the inquisition practised by the companies in Burgundy. It is a shape of officialized and legal terror.

The inquisition practised by the companies in Burgundy considering the population in the Middle Ages, reached appreciably the same ratio with regard to the population as what it passed to Tréblinka or in the Baltic States. 200 000 to 500 000 deaths on a population of some million individuals, are as much than one and a half million to three million deaths on a population of several tens of million individuals. It is the same matter in size, in dimension, in quantity of gibbets. It is necessary to understand that one of the old levers which serves the will to terrorize a population, it is the one which consists of this sinister statistical arithmetic. We are sure to reach his target.

 The father of one of my friends, Mr Moreau, a Castillan as me, was dug up living at the last minute in the last seconds on the liberation of Tréblinka by the second classes of the Red Army. Another two or three knocks of shovel and he had died. He returned with the American red cross which arrived 8 months later. He weighed only some kilos then. In the time, we fought with pebbles and sticks against rifles and machine guns.

 From Manuel Diez Matilla, who was a man of a sacred character and a certain tempering, everything falls to pieces. The centers of decision and power are not so important any more.

  My father did not hesitate to attack such or such at the need.

His trial to labor relations board against the director of the museum Cortot lasted 3 years. He was not afraid, and went even farther.

 Here, the artist has a capacity, he imposes his conditions. My father could paint we can say it honestly without going into all the details practically at the level of a Claude Monet, for me who followed him during almost all the career, good beyond, but he asked for the consequent postponed salary.

 Indeed he took it with the VAT and the rest, because let us not forget it, he will have paid the contribution practically 7 years of his life without it returns to craftsmen or to his corporate association.

 In its profession of boss of company, the working strength is then dominant, it is necessary to say it, and much more for him than for the employee, although the small brooks make the big rivers.

 In the same way, when Mozart died, we thought of the time that more nobody would come to revolutionize the sonata. In the death of Mozart, Beethoven revolutionized more of 400 times the sonata instead of 3 or 4. Here the artist imposes upon the public for the first time. But he does not still impose his financial conditions. We always impose him his condition by the strength, at least partially.

Mozart was an immense and big genius, but also partially a disabled person.

 From my father, we can say about the craftsman that he imposes and financial conditions bound to the cost of raw materials, and the service, and the working strength while keeping the capital gain and the royalties virtual, without counting the charm of the novelty, the style and the material comfort.

 And it is normal because a table or a piece of furniture can be resold, speculators can resell the goods, without counting the forgery. But the fixed price is definitive. It is the condition to the contract.

 Let us not forget that Midavaine is the first French entrepreneur to have made Asian decorators come in France.

My father started in any debuts to him, and later or previously, he also worked at an Asian, his salary was its food.

But up to here at the end of the 50s the decorator is salaried, he did not become his own boss yet, do not free to sign contracts or not and to undertake, what is not going to delay.

The counterpart of the question if we consider the freedom of company is the risk incurred at the same time by the boss, but also by the employee, especially when the orders stagnate, or at the height of the crisis as the one who followed 2 oil crises.

The social progress did not follow rather fast, and doubtless one day public authorities will include it instead of sabotaging the most former industries. I think in particular of all which would in reality be made in the small business crafts, the bonuses, the meal vouchers, the mutual insurance companies, the membership for an honest pension scheme.

 The example of my father proves that we can hold about twenty years, the decoration of the lodging house ( Décor du Logis ) was one of his main customers, with Garouste and Jeumont, but with partially charm of the novelty and a very high and continuous quality. And beyond?

Beyond it is more difficult. Furniture hide TV-HIFI-VIDEO of my father is not completely adapted any more to the current market of the laser disc and of the flat screen.

It is necessary to iron by engineering consulting firms, to redo plans of furniture, tables, what I make since a few years already, to take into account the evolution of the computing and the new technologies.

But we do not recompose a park machines so easily. It will be necessary a few years still before the investors re-made surface, before workshops are reborn, before stores reopen again

 My aunt, Maruja, was one of two or three main founders of the radio orchestra Spanish television ( RTVE). It will have worked, being she even very big one violinist, with some some of the biggest musicians of her time. It goes from Narciso Yepes, to the israëlien violinist Seyrig, to the other big pianists and the others very big musicians. It is clear that we are artists' family, and that the most tangible signs of the profession which exercised my father are very difficult to discern, but tangible.

His father, the brother of my big father, that is the uncle of my father or still my big uncle, was a mayor of Toro during the civil war. Opposite to the time in the fact that we shoot people, of whom of the women and children, by tens in his city, he was shot in his turn by the Franco supporters.

 We cannot say that the art can disappear overnight, he is passed on of generations in generations. What is not still passed on exactly in the same way, it is the value work and its human principles.

 I think once more of this big Jewish film-maker who filmed thousands of hours of documentaries in the underground, and who had buried kilometers of dandruff, dug up in the end of the war. France with Bois d’ Arcy kept for a long time originals and Israel copies it movies. He put 5 years starving in Paris. I arrived on one year too late for the interviewer. He had died in the poverty one the year before.

 I think that it is necessary to remain optimistic, and to keep its soul, to take the measure of the human stakes. But we cannot still be optimistic when we see the relative indifference in which he died. It remains significant.

The same matter with this group of painters which had built up itself it seems to me to Auschwitz. Mrs Bouissy had spoken to us about it and had shown us photos, cards. The artists always tried to testify of their condition.

To tell the truth, we see the forerunners of a revival of the small business crafts today. I mean there that little by little the sector bandages its wounds, little by little, activities become again profitable, thus susceptible to restart a day.

But as long as there will be no parity between us, the old world Judeo-Christian as call him certain and the monopolies which exercise multinationals, as long as there will not be more social justice, the traditional sectors will remain blocked and dependent on their capacity of investment and on the absorption capacity of the market.

A change in the way will be needed to proceed of our government, if we want one day to go out of the rut. Except today, the finance is more important than the industry. The financial sector puts its cards on the table.

The syndicate is a solution among the others. But he remains symptomatic to notice that one of the places the least appreciated by the politicians remains the chambers of commerce and small crafts, so we know that the finance supports multinationals.

It is good the worst place for these sirs, at least that one we go only for some inauguration or to glean some distinction.

At any rate, most beware good to throw itself into the scrum.

Let us be serious, the problem of the small crafts cannot limit itself to the political problems. But we cannot compare France under Louis XVI who for example was fascinated by locksmithery and had made with his own hands the lock of the portal of the castle of Arnouville, this portal being in the castle of Thoiry today; we cannot compare leaders implied by the own hands, and bureaucracy ready for everything to speculate on the back of craftsmen.

The welcoming committee cannot be the same, no more than the human principle.

Curiously with Nina, people of the branch of Valois had offered us a kir during an exhibition of painting in Sologne. We had gone with a friend painter, a Corsican there, which wanted to sell them a piece of wood in mahogany. A countess had received us in Mont-près-Chambord. She went down Valois, one of branches left by the Capetians.

Valois always made me a good impression, because I love these people Solognot (the baroness lived for a long time in Sologne before selling and leaving to Bormes-les-Mimosas or she finished her days with my aunt Méré, the whole punctuated by the employment and the work of my mother also).

Valois to return to them there much less conspired against us the Castilians if we compare them with the Louis which followed one another just before the revolution, which they did not stop encouraging Portuguese to attack us, at the historic moment or Castile was very poor and miserable all the same, especially if we refer to the most discriminated popular layers. Regrettably kings of France became allied in Portuguese and waged war to us, letting the French revolution annihilate the people of Vendée a few years later, abandoning the crown. Fortunately we won this war, exactly to Péléagonzalo, in the plain near Toro.

I think it says that this house of Valois can again serve France, even if I am not really very monarchic. You should not be more royalist than king, but it is adorable, polished and hospitable people, opened to all the artists, even to the children that do not miss talent either moreover.

To return to the caciquisme there about which we spoke, because we had approached the subject, I would say that the own of the caciquisme, is the waiting-game. We have the impression that these birds of prey whom are our leaders wait patiently when they perched as high as possible, multiplying the cawings and the sarcasms. But the paralysis became the own of our democracies, which not satisfied to be allowed offend, let the lie and the poisoning of the masses spread.

All the means of poisoning of the masses are good to dull the children from the youngest age, and make sure a media power that have him could say about divine right in its deep inspiration. The examples abound.

The presenter of 8:00 pm, or of his friend let us let us take the case of Claire Chazal, Poivre d’ Arvor. One second they would imagine only in democracy we can dispute their monopoly, their right for the expression.

Nevertheless Claire Chazal claimed several times that the Americans freed Tréblinka before the Russians. I do not know how much money she received for that.

But she also praised a war criminal as Charles Taylor, who proclaimed himself a president of the republic of the Liberia, and who has to envy nothing to Hitler.

 His hired men have even almost murdered me, in Paris. We could continue even for a long time. The list is long, the tortures and the indescribable crimes. It goes of the summary murder, in the mutilations and in people whom we throw alive in pits with snakes.

  Without counting ethnocides of all kinds, of which that of the mandingues. Charles Taylor, it is three ethnocides and three genocides, nothing less.

I worked with Ghislaine Carlessimo and sergeant Garcia, who also have was almost murdered, in particular at the airport. I do not speak here about the South American artist, but about the commercial manager of the ex-company Bidermann.

The lead screed is there. To them the honors and the glory, the money, but we cannot have everything in democracy. That I know they have never implicated a big thief of castles as fire president Mitterrand, or his friend Seydoux. Their conception of the information is over, totally anti-legal.

 The objective of the 4th international, beyond the tendencies, is also a cultural objective.

The labor and communist tradition is marked enough in France. To collect the largest number, the herd, is a mission.

I think of the big national subjects, Compiègne, of Pierrefonds, Villers-Cotterêts, all which cemented, builds in the course of the centuries the thought and the national fate, by way of the cathedrals of Senlis, Amiens, one of the highest of the world.

The class struggle is a historic principle. Constantly, periodically, the imperialism of major powers makes more striking. He aims partially at dismantling the national unity.

Without the economic, military and political support of the superpowers, there is not so for a long time, the Catalans of Samaranch and Maragal would not have obtained the games of Barcelona. They who exterminated half of Europe, crossed off from the map the quasi-totality of the Baltic states with the Nazis. I had written to Samaranch to try to encourage him, but without any illusion.

Major powers, as the United States and the CIS are very aware of it, moreover the United States arm Donosti, the main subsidiary of ETA in Spain. All the weapons are American. It follows what it passed during the civil war, with the American and Italian implications. America arms here one of the main terrorist organizations of the world, as for Al-Qaïda. Moreover Bush were Hitler's main silver cabinets.

This contradiction of the United States on the humanitarian plan is a constant of the American imperialism.

We see him, the impact and the power of the superpowers stemming from Yalta have a power of devastation, and very fast the losers of 39-45 started again of the ground on the winners. Divide and rule.

 It would be vain to place only the future of a profession from the point of view of the geopolitical balance of power, but all let us let us be clear, constantly, presently, which concerned the political power was made and undone at will. We do not live any more in a world endowed with a rational mould, but in a world or nothing more of likes, and even if the politics is a war, she is never acquired to whoever or won beforehand.

Far from me the idea to reject some and not the others, the cause of the peace has to move forward anyway, but it is clear that foreign powers cannot care on our place of our stability, far from it.

 The practical joke is enormous, it reached its paroxysm. Decades of tyranny became little by little our only common story. We can see there only a sheer chance.

The fate of Europe is not a small matter.

II. The cabinetwork and the joinery, the workshop.

a) The apprêtage in joinery.

It is necessary to distinguish 2 types of apprêtages. Primer cabinetmaking, and sometimes joinery, which correspond to the assembly of the wood and the furniture (wood glue, glue agobois) and apprêtages in the white of Spain or Meudon, or still purple, who are the most essential apprêtages in our profession, and who will serve as preparation for the first layer of decorations or as the decorated panels. It is famous Coromandel in lacquer of China and Venice.

Let be one plans to make panels, it is the case mostly. Well then we get ready all the piece of furniture in function. Let be one does not plan to make panels, for example in the case of certain tables or certain furniture, and in that case rarer we get ready another way the set.

Mostly, we make panels, and we can obviously have it in reserve, especially if they are the same, but it is very difficult to prepare them also anyway. The apprêtage is the most important stage which will determine the quality of all the work then.

A bad apprêtage will give a low home-made quality, even though nowadays we cannot disregard the polyester and the other parallel or specific techniques. A very good apprêtage in the whitening for example will give one much more final high quality.

The technique of Coromandel determined the quality of the lacquer of china, the whitening is the same technique more or less. We shall return to the following chapters there. But let us insist at once: the quality of the apprêtage is determining for all the continuation.

When we pounce an apprêtage, we pounce is dry, in finish mostly, just before the lacquer, is wet but in that case exclusively with some cold water, never some warm or tepid water. We sometimes use wooden holds to make hidden recesses.

We never wet too much, but just what is needed. A slightly wet sponge serves to clean and to level the medium, to clear it of impurities stemming from the sanding as one goes along.

Indeed on, we employ of the brown wrapping paper or some emery cloth more used in finish than when we rough-hew. Sanding in the water, the paper is slightly wet, dry sanding it is used dry.

Especially let us repeat it, on the whitening or pounce only with some cold water, ever with some tepid or warm water, by limiting the quantity of water. Never of puddles, it will stress and would create small holes.

Indeed respect the direction of sanding by adapting it to the piece of furniture or to the table, in such direction defined at first. We can cross, but not change direction.

Let us not confuse the apprêtage, that is the white, with the techniques of cabinetwork or joinery, for example when we use rules of blocking, these sorts of youngs was clamping automobile, or the others technique of manufacturing. Here we indeed speak about some glue, which surrounds and coats a whole piece of furniture or a whole table.

b) The assembly and the dismantling of furniture.

According to the occupations and the corporate associations, the assembly and the dismantling is not still the same. To us, it is already necessary to separate the locksmithery, the hinges, saw them, and indeed thinking that all which is metallic is numbered and put in boxes.

Ironworks are a part of the skeleton of a piece of furniture, they already rose and unsettled with the carcass and the piece of furniture. We shall need it again at the end of the manufacturing of the piece of furniture.

 A meadow assembly allows to work holes with a point and to control everything, to prepare the ground before the final assembly which intervenes at the end. Then we unsettle, we classify and we tidy up everything temporarily. It is important to know or will go the holes of hinges, both on the piece of furniture and on the panels, before the apprêtage and the veneer, not to risk not to be able to find them later in certain cases, according to the current works.

It is necessary to plan a place in the workshop for such piece of furniture or such table, by watching to tidy up the parts of joinery in the same corner of the workshop, and by avoiding mixing everything. Rooms must be tidied up well, as well the wooden rooms as the rooms of ironworks tidied up in boxes and numbered.

III. The preparation, the primers, the panels.

c) The white of Spain or Meudon, or purple.

The whitening is considered as one of the best primers in the former. The only ones of techniques more modern as those of the polyester succeeded recently in dethroning him, and still only partially.

His advantage is for example to allow the use of the cellulosic lacquer during all the later stages of manufacturing. Some other lower-quality fillers also allow it, but not the polyester.

Sold in bags, the powder serves to prepare the whitening, used very warmly for the veneer of panels, less warmly for the preparation of primers.

When we prepare the white, we take a steel basin which will go on the fire, rather in the gas, the bottle being connected with the regulator with 3 or 4 feet on the ground.

On this basin we place flat stones, and above steel bowl in which will be made the preparation.

We hang on a brooch for the veneer, the small and average brushes by means of one folded up nail, on the basin, the hairs in the water because the basin is filled with water, and the bowl comes in the water in the center of this one.

According to the preparation, we add pieces of gelatin which come to merge with the powder, we can add a little liquid or patches soaked to liquefy temporarily the preparation. Once the rather homogeneous powder and the glue, we begin to turn with a big stick everything around the bowl to eliminate lumps, by watching to rub well against the walls of the bowl.

All these operations take place over a low heat or means. Even on big fire, but although he arrives he never has to form of bubbles in the preparation and this one never has to boil. In case of boiling we reduce then the fire by acting on the regulation gas. When the obtained substance is homogeneous and cleared completely of lumps, and for it it is necessary to stir regularly by turning, then we make it more or less liquid or thick by adding or not some liquid, and we can get ready the piece of furniture or the hot table. It must be anyway very very warm.

We make the first layer with the brush for hidden recesses, or for the brooch for the outsides. We let it dry a little. When the first layer is enough hard or dries, but wet, we pass in the second layer. Generally 2 or 3 layers are enough according to the popular thickness. We always leave the wood with nude in the place or will go panels, generally on the outsides of the piece of furniture or in the center of the table on the top. These will be later stuck.

It is because of this working stage that we can understand the necessity of the use of soft wood and not wood hard as the oak. It is easier to get ready for the whitening on the battened, the plywood, and naturally on the lime tree and any sorts of soft wood, so that the hot preparation penetrates well into the fibers of the wood. Wood as the poplar or the wild cherry are already a little harder, the oak and the mahogany being the hardest wood, and the mahogany is besides a precious wood.

However, the wild cherry and the poplar are used. But the battened, the plywood, the lime tree or the willow are more current in this profession, with sometimes the wild cherry.

In this professional sector, the battened is rather often used thus, and also the lime tree which is already a luxury item. The stage of the apprêtage constitutes the main reason.

Other wood lacquered without apprêtage and other techniques exist, including with the gilt on wood. But in this case, the wood is prepared before being lacquered.

This stage of the preparation is fundamental; the more the quality of the preparation will be raised, the better the following stages will be realized.

For furniture, we cannot get ready that several times because it is necessary to make inside and bottom of the piece of furniture. Piètements will thus be in the air and the top will base on holds to which we shall have fixed of the carpet, while we shall make the glue for the inside of the bottom. It is necessary every time it is dry so that the piece of furniture can base on holds, and to be able to move forward the glue and the apprêtage.

d) The glue of skin of rabbit.

 She is used with the whitening and is of use to him of binding. We prepare her by letting her wallow 24 hours in a bowl with some water. Then we preserve the water in which the patch of skin of rabbit wallowed to reuse her later in the preparation of the whitening. When the patch is not so hard, but soft any more, we melt her on very soft fire in the bain-marie by watching that there is and is no boiling

 The solution obtained from greyish color is then poured into a plastic bowl rather and we let her cool. She will become as a sort of gelatin marrying the forms of bowl. It is this gelatin a little as some rubber which will be gradually added to the powder of whitening for the preparation of the whitening.

A good glue must not be made obsolete. The retailers sell her in bags, sometimes we find less big quantity that roughly.

IV. Panels

a) The preparation

Panels before being stuck are prepared on tables or wooden panels mostly laminated. We use to make them a lot of water, in particular some paper which becomes sticky as soon as we wet him.

A big sponge serves to wet the panel of plywood with big water, and both faces of the paper. When it is wet enough we display the paper over the wooden panel, and with the sponge, we return the water towards the outsides so as to stretch out the surface of the paper which will serve to make panels. Then on the back of the panel, we fold the paper in a way, of set square. Then we place the adhesive tape or rather the paper which becomes sticky as soon as we plunge it into a bucket of water; in this way we fix the paper on the back while watching over its staying tightened stretched out well.

Then we let dry the panel without letting it too much explain to the sun, because he could crack by drying, because he is going to lose all his water by drying.

Then when the panel is ready this one is always made with the glue, but for the knife. We go to a sense, in curve, then when it is dry have always returns in curve in the other sense. When the thickness is sufficient we let dry.

The quality of panels and primers will be determining for the global quality of the work.

 

 

 

Manuel Diez Matilla: a forgotten fate

 

Psychoanalysis of the work of Manuel Diez Matilla

 

11th part

 

By Christian Diez Axnick

Revision in Saturday, May 19, 2012

 I ended the taken place year a mission of temporary work, or I worked with the very nice Fernand Campos and Manuel Majo. I worked at SITCF for the station Saint-Lazare, in telecom, optical fiber, electricity, lightings, electronic displays etc. …

 And even if Toro remains an important artistic, religious, legal and royal, or still bullfighting, and even culinary capital, with his "Pastas" and his "bollos", his remarkable "Polvorones" or still political, archaeological, wine, Manuel Diez remains one of the last representatives of his artistic magnificence.

He is one of last important products who was born low there. Even if the main part of its career took place in mainland France. Some tracks of the semi-heathen Christianity remained in its work.

He went towards more Christian, traditional and historic synthesis. A part of certain wines of Bordeaux comes from the vineyard of Toro, or we produce "Sarmiento", or rather to be more correct "Cermeño". Artistically, the XVIth century is very represented there low, as golden century. Gérard Depardieu possesses some good vintages from there low. I had gone with Nina to his wife Elisabeth to Bougival in the time either Guillaume still lived and or Julie was a single woman. She looked for a couple of gardeners. Toro is little in Spain that Jerusalem is in Israel. An inescapable human and social capital, Téjar having been in a way the Bethlehem of my father.

Then as usual for the artists, it is necessary to know how to question, question, and pursue its road by the sinuous meanders which lead to our respective purposes, to fit out exits, and to go towards the lesser evil, without losing sight completely of its own ambitions.

  Spain is at the crossroads. Her oligarchies represent even the bloody and repressive past of Europe. She likes propped up on old foundations, prisoner of the terrorism, split and quartered by her autonomies which retain and contain the national feeling.

Which future she will have after him, I ignore it. I remained so taken away from Spain, as maintained at a distance, that I do not know how to bring any more the maximum to this country.

Nevertheless, this country made even recently prestigious things, as for example the excellent results and the world title of Roja, it realized there are few advances and it would be difficult to make him in a country as France or reign more freedom, but also a relative anarchy padlocked by a power which stays up everything. I did not return to Toro for a long time, and I shall like going there, if only to take in to me again on the grave of my ancestors.

  What I shall like very much, it would be have more money and more time to paint and return to what there what made the vocation and the hours of glory of this small part of the family Diez whom we are. It is what we know how to make of better, even if all, us scattered since the terrible death of my father. It is necessary to return to the humility, the cement of the art there.

José-Mari, the younger son of Vénancio, dashed into the painting with a relative success, of Christine's alive and after its tragic disappearance. He even exceeded us. I wish to draw and to paint much more that today. Ingo paints little. I I lost a lot of contact with the easel. And then, other modern techniques became more important. The African paintings in sand colored for example. Kheira, the sister of Hanifia, had offered me one.

  I shall like after a brief passage by the modern art (at the moment I was inspired by tags and graffiti) and the surrealism, to return to the classic or neo-classic art, to the impressionism there. I miss tubes of painting and money. But if I could create an activity or a company, a workshop, I would not say not. I had some contacts with Ute Hadam, a very big artist, and I do not discourage to restart one day on good bases.There is also Birgit Magler-Wieseman. What often matters, it is the will, the humility.

  The hope is there, it tightens us arms, in a world or almost everything is set against us. It belongs to us to know how to regain self-control, question us. It is necessary to begin again everything, to start all over again.

  What I tried to make by writing the manual worker of introduction drafted in four parts, and these eleven psychological studies of which some are still perfectible, it is to bring to light a historic and cultural slide show. The autobiographical texts of my father reflect more his own thought. I grant a certain importance for the public relations, for the debate of ideas, without whom the art would not move forward either. I do not want to betray everything, or to deliver the political beliefs of my father, because he was above all a passionate painter, living in a certain immoderation, at the top of the artistic and pictorial possibilities of his time.

For those who loved him, who were his contemporaries, I am anxious to grant the forgiveness, the indulgence. I would want that his workers, the workers of the shadow, those whom he knew and committed, have as well their part of glory and recognition in the inheritance as he left, Pédro, Ramon, Antonio Illan, Landrin, Agop Agopian, so many others. It is the slightest things.

 Manuel Diez did not love conceited people, animals with competition and with diplomas, but humble people, those who left nothing took the entrepreneurial risk with him, those who knew how to be and stay in their place by learning to progress.

Can these written, drafted and thought works help in a better understanding of what he embodied and represented, so that we never forget the aquatic and floral decorations, the naturalists, wonderful and fabulous whom he composed. So that we feel the weight in the light of day of the accomplished work, of its maturity, of its dexterity, of its extraordinary diversity of tones, colors and nuances.

  I think again about the disaster of Fréjus with this dike which had broken, and in this image of a man collected in front of a cross several paintings of which he pulled with thickenings, as for the hunter of goldfinches. My father was inspired by everything, left an idea, sometimes by a photo to compose authentic masterpieces.

  We can start all over again, question us, and walk again on his tracks engraved in our reports for ever.

And to the public, I would thank you mean, one thousand times thank you for having agreed well to follow us in our wanderings and our adventures, having entered the creative intimacy of this giant of the XXth century to whom we owe so much and so many marvels. Himself did not hide his admiration in front of certain works and certain paintings. It was capable of being amazed, he liked his job and the painting was its passion. He began in 4 or 8 years and never stopped painting.

  I was anxious to thank you all, the visitors of this blog, all those, all the crowd of the unknown persons who followed and were interested in this impressive being of boldness and resourcefulness, this tireless manual worker whom the fate took back to us cruelly. Thanks to all, and that our advice, our testimony is useful for you and allows you to be better situated in the immense world of the art.

This small-sized giant, which weighed no more than some kilos before his death, so much worked to advance the colors, the aesthetics and the pictorial creation, the innovation and the style of a strong and mature work. Thank you thus, and that the wind is with you, that it leads you to good port.

  The public is in a way the rescuer not appearances, but realities. When I think of the piece of furniture of sublime linen which is in the room of my mother, with the Chinese which are represented, I say to myself that it did not have very second-hand to leave us some of its magnificent works

It is the life. There are no more small craftsmen of the scale. Today, the systems collapse, the Arab world falls over to terrible proletarian revolutions. Not that the revolution is not something an interesting, even of fascinating. Moreover Hanifia is anyway and for a long time of this edge there, but the price to be paid in terms of human lives seems to me far too raised, for a relatively reduced political, administrative and bureaucratic gain. There were far too many deaths and martyrs. I think that even if certain leaders have billions, stemming from the corruption and from the cornering of the wealth, these revolutions gave rise to a horrifying blood bath. What is missing, it is an alternative.

After him, who knew how to give a cape, the valuable systems collapse. The human life does not matter enough, we do not take into account her enough. The human life has to be something of crowned. Europe cannot get involved easily in the new world challenges which puts the poverty.

  Herself is very poor also. As real America besides. The real revolution can succeed only by its own consolidation, and not otherwise. One foot in the power is needed at least, otherwise it is the slaughter.

 Nevertheless, the major part of Arabic leaders who fell came in Europe, and were received, but it is the systems which do not walk, the projections on the long term.

   My father knew too much how to not get involved in affairs of the others, or in the life of the others, he put back everything on the job, and continued his course, by distrusting traps of the history, subterfuges, lies by omission distilled also by the journalists and the broadcasting. He led his road, knew how to contemplate his work, persevere, continue in a moderate lifestyle.

  The revolutions are not a myth, but they cost an immense credit also. The revolution is a purpose which requires a clarification, a recognition of the necessary sharing of the power, an acceptance of the exercise of power. She cannot succeed otherwise. From there was born and results the socialism, the only about acceptable standard by communities, when the right systems lead to the impasse.

 

   I stopped reading the book of Gérald Messadié, " Saladin, knight of the Islam ", appeared to the edition) of the Archipel, and if the contagion which won the Maghreb and the Arab world seemed to me justified, I think that the opposition has to accept the sharing and an experience of the power, or rather the oppositions.

 

 

 

 

 The world accelerates, one needs that a quilt, a shock absorber which can allow the economy of human lives. I agree with Gérald Messadié when he says " In 1st century AD, Jesus broke the mould of the Judaism, which presented god as master of the good and the evil, to impose the concept of an exclusively good god ". He also speaks in his book of the events happened to the real cross, which the true fighters lost in a battle. My father had also spoken to me about it.

 

It is true for example that my mother returned last year of Spain, and even if she is Protestant, she attended a office in the parish San Julian of Toro with Méré. Jesus is also the man of the coherence. She passed in the newspaper, on a photo, with Méré, under an article dedicated to toréros. She and Méré are on the line, to the left of the others.

  In fact, what separates me from my wife, it is that I am a little more conservative than her, while it, it recognizes none of the heavyweights by the power in this country, who make all of the fawning and polish the boots of the dwarf. I am revolutionary of the highly-rated of a Bernardo Sandoval and his " Sendero luminoso ", a highly-rated of the real ideas, and more or less socialist. Her, her is rather socialist, and convinced than all are bad. She channel-flicks as soon as appears the face of Sarkozy or one of his friends on the small screen. She cannot see them nor support them.

 

  These people, as formerly the socialists and Mitterrand, but at a lesser level as regards these last ones, made us pass of the paradise in the hell. Current World offers no other exit to the contesting that the class struggle or the armed struggle. We cannot both be quoted, it is impossible. It is moreover what what still makes the strength of the church in Castile & Léon, his hardness and its durability, its intransigence.

 

  Why did we lose so much manual sense and working habits? Because we are in the engineering, the process, the civil engineering, the engineering consulting firms, the intellectual jobs. This year I thus worked for the station Saint-Lazare, so much in telecoms, that the electricity, the optical fiber and the computing, the electronic displays etc....

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Contrary to the fact that believe many French, it is often us who make almost everything in this country. Mr Fernand Campos is a cheerful and cheerful man, a franc which forges ahead. Our civilization is Frankish. Those who forge ahead are often the most positive, we have not many other assets in the contemporary world. Our only chances are in the cohesion of the strengths, and not in their divisions.

  Then I sometimes have the nostalgia for the workshop, for our ancient family company, but without my father it was not really possible any more to continue. Or then, would have the commands of tables and furniture have to stream, but we could not look any more of sufficient guarantees to the customers. It is an affair of greatness, large-scale, company, and when it is necessary to make live up to 10 employees, nothing is ever acquired or easy, especially because of loads. The departure of Pédro precipitated things also, as for the others.

  I would have wanted to continue, but really, I could not make a success of it alone. I would have needed at least an employee or two. Then it was necessary me to give up. Besides, Bernard blew up the installation and the compressor by wanting to pass of the three-phase in the two-phase current. Little by little, the transition with the paternal workshop split. I could not continue the only workshop, even if I have of to make a secondhand trade or two with Nina. The dream fainted little by little.

  Pedro took up his box in the South, a society or he began working with the varnish polyester.

  The traditional arts to continue require a vertebral column, and it was my father who embodied it. Without him, nothing more could turn in the same way. He knew how to answer and face the requirements and the demands of the clientele.

Today, I just manage to recover from these bygone days, because I work in engineering consulting firms since about twenty year, but sometimes, a renewal of nostalgia win, disappointed hopes, past greatness, prestige, deliveries which we made in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. I have difficulty in forgetting, I regret this period or I saw my father realizing marvels and fabulous, unforgettable decorations.

  I believe, finally I tried to be the best auxiliary for him, I always supported him, I was always in his quoted, and sometimes he did not make me presents. He sometimes had the acerbic criticism.

  He tended always a little to set apart me, except when he needed me. He knew that he could count on me.

 The events which won the Arab world since already a few months demonstrate the liveliness and the determination of the revolution and the terrible armed repression which exists. The butler of Mrs baroness had known Youssoupof, the murderer of Raspoutune. The baroness Gousry de Roslan was rich, and knew how to use her money. At least as long as she held Frogères in Sologne, once left to Bormes-les-Mimosas in the Var, she was not more than a vegetable. Her end of life was long, because she died very old, born with century and died with him.

  She had two more or less close and remote relatives, both being a member of the nobility, the one manages even today a famous botanical park (Saint Jean de Beauregard seems to me you it ), and other one than her little knew had got married to a German local country squire. Dieter and my aunt Gerda as well as their daughter Daniela live not far from the castle or she lived, or one of its portraits decorates a wall. Rustic parties took place there. Still a funny coincidence.

 This butler who was in the service of the Baroness was not far from the events, from the place of the murder which was the prelude of the Bolshevik revolution with its painful and terrible procession of 20 million deaths. In the same way, the revolutions, the movements of protests, contesting which were able to develop lately in the Arab world, already entailing the fall of two important leaders, are results of decades of tyranny.

We decided to ignore the problems of the peoples, and here is the result. It is the impasse and the climbing in the horror. Can the peoples see sense, and especially the unreliable despots and the multibillionaires who control this continent, for a long time and until today, in the repression and the blood of the innocents.

 Lybie fell over to the civil war. It is the climbing in the horror, with mercenaries come from the Liberia, the snipers, atrocious repression. Furthermore, France is one of country which unwound the red carpet in front of Khadafi for a long time, without counting the scandal with Michèle Alliot-Marie and her departure as well as that of her companion, Minister as her. This country became not a cradle for the art and the small business crafts, but an arms dealer who makes the low bow in front of everybody. These old despots do not want to leave the power. We had already had the echo of it during the games of Barcelona, with all the ancient henchmen of the Naziregime).

I like Catalonia, I like Catalans, but it is even difficult, impossible to understand how people who exterminated half of Europe with the Nazis, lined from the map so to speak the Baltic States, participated in the biggest massacres of mass of the story of the humanity, were able to manage to monopolize the games and the management of the Olympic movement during a quarter of century. Which misses reaction on behalf of our democracies, which fiasco.

  Same Louis-Napoleon III, who brought out against very hard reforms, did not bring out of against reform so hard. The problem in Spain, it is the European and world vote, it is that of some against reforms can be born. Here we have to deal with a real murder by the ignorance. Whole World joined forces against us. And the whole world pays the consequences of the slanderous politics which was driven against us for a long time. We ask for a visa Spanish in Turkey, not the others.

The only means to make them leave, it is the education, the awareness of the masses and the people when his vital interests are at stake. Without managing to make become aware to the people that past expert leaders in the massacres of mass became a danger for the democracy and its future, nothing is possible. To send unfortunates to the slaughterhouse or to the slaughter is not either a good solution, it is at the highest level that it is necessary to be able to intervene, and all this cannot be made without a maximum of credibility.

  And or is it this credibility when I still think in two years of agony spent in intensive resuscitation at the hospital Bichat and previously at Gonesse and Stains by my father? Nowhere in reality.

Worlds and universes follow one another some in the others, without we can make nothing of other than look for to testify of glorious past. The end of life is an atrocious and indescribable thing. Is all this really worth it?

  Today I work and my wife also. At the beginning of the year 2011 I finished a mission thus on the station Saint-Lazare, the networks, the telephony, the telecoms, the computing, the electronic displays. It was a million euro construction site and I had been prolonged two weeks. I moved on then as account manager in air conditioning. I thus worked on the technical premises of the station Saint-Lazare. A dust removal come just in time at the right time. We had not really managed in a certain time to renew the east station for lack of credits or of means. Quite a lot of engineering consulting firms were above. But nothing really moved forward when I still see the dilapidation of roofs.

I was some time after SITCF hired as account manager at ERCC.

  I would like to relaunch, to paint again, but I have of little of time and not enough means. I do not want to make of pessimism, and I keep good hope. But the life is hard, the world became terrible, time changed, the men did not still owe.

 For a long time in France, we wore Serge Gainzbourg in the pinnacle, especially its friend Drucker. It is true that he was a big musical popularizer, an immense artist. But 70 % a 80 % of its directory results from Anton Dvorak and of some the others, Dvorak who managed himself to synthesize the traditional and folk directory, as many composers stemming from nationalisms in Europe. I had gone to see Gainzbourg in concert with David. He did not respect too much his musicians, but the concert was beautiful, a musical and poetic success. It is true that the objectivity does not still suffocate the European. Other big musical groups, as Maluzerne, brought a lot to the traditional musics and to the composition. Myself try to put literally my compositions.

 The producers of Johnny Halliday also resumed Dvorak, and one of its symphonies. In reality, the varieties often borrow from the classic, who draws from the popular directory himself. It is true on the other hand that Gainzbourg remains one of the only ones to have held out on the Anglo-Saxons.

  Maruja, my aunt, was very friendly with Narciso Yepes, she was very close for a long time to him. They were the same bosom friends. My father had taken me to see him in the room Pleyel. On the other hand, he had refused to take him in his small van, his famous fiat 238. Yepes had badly taken him and had held against him there. He had squeezed me on the other hand the hand. Yepes liked very much the children, and gave a lot of course to youngs, a monument as knew how to him put itself as high as the children. I also worked in a musical house of young people ( MJC - Youth Association ) with Pierre Bénichou and Jean-Paul Beqvort, which also knew him, they are close relations of Jorge Cardoso. Yepes was probably, at least on the arithmetical, algebraic, the biggest plan which is. Only some some people, as Lagoya and Ida Presti, Segovia, his contemporaries, were so important. Siegfried Behrend also. I knew and saw twice with Hanifia Emmanuel Roessfelder, a pupil of Lagoya.

  The directory of Yepes is impressive, hallucinating even, as that of Ségovia. The guitar has 12 or 24 ropes, which he was made, was his bread job throughout his entire life. He and Maruja were very close, they even registered the Concerto of Aranjuez supervised by Kurt Masur. The record of the RTVE, Maruja had offered him to me, that with violins in first party, as wanted it Joachim Rodrigo. I however preferred the version of Behrend without violins, which is not the official version, but looks more of bitting from the introduction. But I would always remember Maruja's present, which not bad recorded with him.

 I I studied a lot the flamenco, in particular with Andres Serrita, the son of Serra and the spiritual son of Jose-Antonio Sabicas. I would have wished to play some of his leaders of work, as "Noche de Arabia", or " tropical Mosaico ". I just missed the time. Him as his father worked with Paco de Lucia. "El Pecino", my first professor of flamenco, is as him of Algéciras. The godfather of David was of San Pédro of Alcantara, not very far from there. It was at him one year.

Today, I shall like returning to the modern music, to the blues, to the rythm' n blues and to the rock and roll there. But I have little time. I compose especially of the classic and the flamenco, and I shall also like taking out bases which are mine and beaten tracks. If I had more computing means, I could publish my partitions more easily. I knew big groups of rhythm and blues, left on the tracks of Clapton, in particular with childhood friends, Frédéric Roy, Martin-Boileu. They even finished to go in the United States, Mustapha was the singer and the soloist. In America, it is much more an applicant.

  I would not too much like to criticize Johnny Halliday, because he lived it's true. He was a very big artist, in particular by his vocal passages, the agreements and the harmonious passages of whom he always made a success. But he seems to me today old, he does not arrange any more all his means. Witness its rumbling discontent against the producers. He embittered. I however saw him in the concert which he had made for the city hall of Paris, the one who aroused bustles by his stamp too much consisting to the taste of some.

  Ingo saw Eddy Mitchell in concert, me I had the opportunity to see Jacques Higelin, who made a lot for the show, with quantity of special effects and effects of scene, accessories. Higelin is a Huguenot, a big artist of troop. Ingo does not love Johnny, but rather Elvis, Eddy Cochran, Gene Vincent and the other big of the rock. With David I had the opportunity among others to see The Dogs, one of the biggest French rock bands, with in particular this incredible soloist whom they have. Angelito, David and I had seen Foreigner in the arenas of Fréjus.

  With David I also had the opportunity to see Bashung, Rita Mitsouko, the Damned and others.

 The career of David's taxi badly ended. He who transported Gérard Oury, Michèle Morgan, that my father had gone to see in one of his last plays. She was called I believe " My last love will be for you ". He had gone to see her at the end of the part. Michèle Morgan is a very big actress, one of the biggest French actresses with Suzanne Flon. Her family had problems with the drug. My father was crazy about her.

  David lived bad, he had some punctual money troubles. His evil to live was only getting worse when it had separated from Laurence, her friend. And then, the terrible disease of my older brother arranged nothing. I would be kind enough to be able to face, but myself had problems of means. He had more and more become embittered, he had become more and more violent. And then he lost his employment with the Parisian taxis. The death of my father also weighed. Besides, he had problems with any sorts of people. I did not know how to pull him from there. It is as for Rémi Martin-Boileu, the childhood friend, who lost his son in a car accident. We don't know what to do anymore. We do not know how to make any more. Whole World falls you above.

  World is what it is. The life does not make us a present. I I doubtless knew how to put in perspective a little better, surmount my failures and the dramas of my life. And then I knew Hanifia. She is again handed on at Julien's Lepers's to Question for a champion. Recently she was substitute, but as the kitty fell she did not pass. She is ironed later, always in the studios of La Plaine Saint-Denis.

 She has already won with a friend. She lost in front of a deserving and very brilliant opponent, and we did see her on the television in September 2011. She had won with her I believe in the emission,issue " Motus ". I had accompanied her. We had eaten in Greek in front of studios.

  Now at Lepers, there is a canteen. She failed several times in French CAPES, she has a very good level and a very big general knowledge, a lot of knowledge. I have good hope. She knows almost everything on the literature and ancient French. Hanifia possesses a lot of knowledge and has a robust general knowledge. If she wins again.

  My mother travels since the death of my father a lot. She surrendered in at least 8 remote countries. In Saint-Petersburg and in Moscow, in Russia, to Königsberg, city of the ancient East Prussia, in Poland by or it passed.

  In Saint-Petersburg she had only two days to visit Hermitage, which is a little for a long time in competition with the Louvre. Hermitage is bigger in reality, even if the Louvre was enlarges, I moreover worked on its extension, for the square tower. Hermitage collects on the other hand many more objects, especially by their density. It would be necessary at least one week to visit it, and still, only partially. He has reserves at least so considerable as the Louvre.

  I took her to the airport there is little with Angelines ( Illan), she went to Antalya in Turkey or she already went three times, or she visited this time Capadocce. She went to Dubrovnik in Croacie after the end of the war, in Egypt, in Rome or she was able to see the incredible wealth amassed by Vatican, basilica Saint-Peter and the sixtine. She went also to Morocco, as Ingo.

She travelled a lot and knows well the world. She intends to make another journey in East Prussia, or she was born, for Momehnen and Gerdauen-Neuendorf, cities which are today in Poland and in Russia. She was born to Gerdauen.

  All this tumult contributed to take away me from the painting and the traditional arts, but also brought its point of modernity. And then it is an opening on the world, because for my part I little travelled, I went only once to my beautiful family with Algeria.

I would like one day to see South America, or Caribbean, but I really regret not having been able to go with her. Maybe one day if I reach the retreat. I shall like seeing Berlin and making the journey of East Prussia, or visiting my family of Dresden. Finally and why not, make one day the journey in Holy Land.

Berthe Mann did not want to go in Turkey with Angelines and Christa because of the problems between Turkey and Israel. She is afraid.

  The rise in the soundings of the National Front does not sort out things either. Do people really want to go out of the euro? At any rate they should meditate on this question. When we have the most powerful currency of the world, it is not a question of turning the back in Europe. The Americans are too satisfied with this situation. And they are not the only ones.

  The FED had provoked the crash of 29 in the United States, I shall not go into details, Hitler had moreover managed to get round everybody by arriving at the just power at the time of the deflation, then there was a crisis of 1996 with subprimes. Every time all this led to world conflicts. This time, it would be possible that things take place in the same way. Witnesses turn to the red.

  The situation is very difficult. I worked recently as account manager. Recently I had made on a construction site boulevard Haussmann, and it is on the same boulevard moreover that Jean Sorel, who is very rich and comes and sees his wife every day in the workplace of Hanifia, possesses a particular building also. We passed there to see the exhibition on Romanov in the picture gallery of Paris, behind Madeleine.

 The exhibition, which collects collections deprived, is rather small and includes relatively few boards, but in particular however old man's portrait of Rembrandt, another old man's face of Tiepolo, some paintings of Spanish masters, among which Ribera, Alonso Cano, Murillo, from Dutch, Italian, Courbet, Derain, and so many others.

  If the nature is afraid of heights, and this sentence summarizes to her only all that he can have there of consisting in the work of my father, I have to say that the paintings of Hermitage (not the church Hermita of toro, but Hermitage of Saint-Petersburg), that he dreamed to see one day, are luxurious masterpieces, and those of the exposure in the picture gallery are there only a tiny part, besides this exposure includes only relatively few paintings.

  The recent and terrible earthquake in Japan, followed by a horrifying tsunami which crossed off cities of the map, without counting the even worse problems with the explosion of several nuclear reactors, still demonstrates to which point the nature to horror of the space. Myself feel dizzy in front of the strength and the power of the nature, we are only of insignificant wisps of straw. The consequences will be very grave. 

 If the Jews are no more than 13 millions on earth, it is necessary to know that Hitachi, with whom I worked and who also makes coolers in the nuclear power, is in fact from the very beginning a family and paternalistic company, not a government corporation, but deprived. It underlines the scale of the problem in the approach of the nuclear stakes.

  The nuclear power would rather be confided to nationalized companies, with an advisory committee and representative organs. The problem of the cooling is that are needed at least one or two backup systems, if not more.

  Today we see it more and more, the situation is terribly difficult. A colleague of Hanifia lost his brother, a young policeman in official list of Ivory. He fell in an ambush stretched out by the rebels. She came to work and we suddenly announced it to her. She in of to return still moreover.

 As for the nuclear disasters in Japan, in civil wars in Lybie and in official list of ivory, they lead us more and more towards the abyss. The ecologists mark points. An alternative for the nuclear power is needed. Will she come to a better management of the strength driving tide? Other discoveries? We do not know it at the moment, but we know that the nuclear power maybe very dangerous among others combined in natural disasters. Its human and technical management is in question. In the same way I did not succeed in managing the situation with David.

  Recently, I was lucky to pass one week to Guardamar del segura, in Valencian, and the other one to Toro. I was very touched to see again Toro, who did not change a lot. Since Guardamar, we went back up to Alicante, and having been able to admire his bulwarks, we also came down on Cartagena, or we were able to see the Roman amphitheater and the magnificent balconies of the city.

 To Toro, we visited in particular Santi Spiritus's monastery, arenas, churches, convents, Colegiata, Hermita, Téjar, our property, and the other places. We came down in Spain by Catalonia, and we went back up by the Basque country and the moors. Which emotion by seeing again Toro, or Mere possesses an apartment in a street which looks onto Colegiata. From there, we went with Angelito to Zamora, then to Tordesillas.

The views on Pelléas and Valdefinjas, of who are the ancestors of my father, are magnificent.

  Mere possesses a magnificent picture of my father, a representation with Joseph, and Marie presenting him the child Jesus. Santi Spiritus's convent is two or three streets from Mere. A sister has us welcomed, and a lady who was in the consitoire with Juan Basi, the brother of Ambrosito and the other son of Atilana, her sister, showed us the monastery and his admirable paintings.

 Doña Beatriz of Portugal, the woman of Juan primero, rests there. On the top, its crown is taken away from the head, because it had lost the war of succession of Portugal. She was a queen of Spain 8 days I believe. On the side, " tired descalzas " he put the crown on the head, because they still considered her queen of Portugal.

  There are marvels in this convent, of which an olive tree of more than 800 years, exceptional works of the Spanish and Flemish medieval art. Toro is also the city of both girls of the Cid Campeador, of whom Léonor, who did not live far. The house of Cid is to Zamora, we also saw her.

 When we came down to Hermita, Ambrosito was with his friend Angelito there also showed us the former bastion of kings of Spain, and a place or are today associations " Conde " I do not know any more what, Marquina, something like that. Pillars and wooden marquetterie were redone on three floors.

  In guardamar, Mere and Javi has an apartment, rest of the family also, Ramon also has an apartment. I wanted to see Victoria, the small sister of Noël.

  I read Allen Carr's book to stop smoking on the beaches of Guardamar. The park Alphonse (X or XII I believe) which looks onto the beach is remarkable, with his peacocks and them cries of love, his squirrels, his tortoises, its ducks and his gooses.

  Really we went from Guardamar to Madrid by going back up by Madrid, and in passing Escorial and Valle of los caïdos, then in passing province of Segovia and that it seems to me of Avila. With my father, we often stopped to Tordesillas or Villanueva del Campo, but not this time. We went after our arrival there.

  The main view of Toro on the plain of Duero is always so majestic, and the Roman bridge which we crossed is also a marvel. A big grass-snake waited for us upon our arrival in Téjar, it bronzed in the sun, as to welcome us.

 Hanifia registered in " Question for a champion ", I accompanied her in the plain of Landy, not far from the Stade de France, or the make-up man and the hairdresser received her. She competed in the afternoon, and the broadcast should pass by September 9th 2011 or something like that.

  Since my return of Spain, I followed the current events, the Arab Spring, and if Hanifia is very to the left, I am however afraid of the difficulty which waits for these peoples to take in hand and in load, the task is formidable, and we can be afraid of counter-revolutions or against reforms. Until now, we especially attended a blood bath, and every camp ignores and fights.

  For my part, I was particularly moved to see again my country, and to be able to take in to me in front of the family vault and Vicente's grave, my uncle and the husband of Mere, to see again Javier and Angelito, my cousins, without counting the children of Javier.

  I would want that the world is easier, that the work, the peace are accessible to all, and the movement of the indignant is also the one of people who ask for the work. Spain counts 20 % of unemployed persons against 9 % in France.

 Angelito, which is the most illuminated with us all, is the one which supports most this movement, which was very active to Zamora, tents rose on the place.

  What wants " Los indignados ", it is to make move lines, there or the communist party took care to make it previously. Today, he does not exist any more, then it needed an alternative, the other forms of contesting.

  Certainly, would be needed more solidarity, but States subject to the rule of law also react. Every country wants to be able to insure the safety and the public law. But it is necessary to recognize that only the mobilization can allow to assure new social victories.

  To see again Toro, the home town of my father, has me for revived, which emotion by crossing the first bow of the city, and by reaching el Arco del Reloj. We set on the left once arrived at its height to by-pass the main avenue and go to Mere. Legendary city, cradle of the Christendom in Spain, city which represents so much for the country. Doña Pilar of Borbon inaugurated the renovation work of Colegiata, which are in progress. My father so painted in this city and in the surroundings. Can his memory guide us in our future orientations, become so difficult in this day and age.

  We walked in Toro, for example since el Arco del Reloj in the other passage, Manolita, a friend of tia Angelita, lived in this street.

  In bars, we heard the clamors due to the victory of the barça in section of Europe. Old Spain is alive, and more than ever.

  Esperanza, the guide who showed us arenas, was a typical "toresana" of the region, with it to speak Spanish so particular and so charming. I put with a group at the exit arenas. We saw again Esperanza near Colegiata, at the exit of the museum which is on the main street of the Arco del Reloj. As the lady knew Angelito, she let us visit the museum free of charge.

  There is a few weeks, we went to see " The cat of the rabbi ", a movie pulled by a drawn band, with a music of Enrico Macias. I was not able to see the exposure Manet, but I saw that of the city hall of Paris, and that of Giverny. 

 Ingo returned of China, or he visited again Pekin and went to Wu Deng one thousand km more to the South, Wu Deng cradle of the arts to inter (Thai Chi, Chi Kong etc.). He returned with interesting news. Chinese work by craftsmen the copper and paint it in diverse colors, only the inside of objects is not tight.

 All the same, China was occupied by Mongolian until 1920. He returned with the small red book of quotations of Mao Tse Toung. I shall stain to read it good time for all.

  My mother left for Germany till the end of the month. I read Patrick Süskind's book " flavor ", that I found not bad, and I am on the reading of the book " the Prince ", of Machiavelli. Hanifia was on television by September 8th or 9^th 2011, having registered in " Questions for a champion ". She thus lost in front of a candidate it is necessary to say it so particularly brilliant.

 Highly-rated work that did not too much walk this year. I realized the air conditioning of the embassy of the Burkina Faso recently. But I am maybe going to return in the medical middle, because the missions are too unstable.

  Finally, Hanifia passed in Questions a champion on September 8th, 2011, and she reached the final as in 2003. His winner, very brilliant, is still in the run. She is going to hand on to Motus, or she had won with a friend.

  September 11th is our wedding anniversary, because we got married one year before the attacks of the Worl Trade Center. José-Mari, which was operated, had an accident with a wolf in the neighborhood of Barcelona. There was nothing of the car and the wolf, but it went out of it he unhurt.

  At Sunday, September 11th 2011 the ambassador of Germany made a speech for the German church. My mother was there and I had to go there, but finally I did not go there.

  Finally, Michel, the winner of Hanifia won then 5 times and brings down the kitty. He said about Hanifia that he was nibbled. She realized a beautiful ascent in front of him and will have been one of her most severe opponents.

  Hanifia passed to Motus on October 6th. She won 500 Euro. We went to see the movie " a pig for Gaza " which is a remarkable funny parody of the relations israëlo Palestinian. I hope that we can obtain the credit for our detached house.

  I am on the reading of Sartre's portrait by himself, what should allow me to arrest better its work.
