Oscar Schindler - Heavy Drinker, Womanizing Crook, Gambler




Oscar Schilder is another modern times "hero", sanctified by the hollywood jewry in the famous film "Schindler`s List". Recently there has been a huge controversy because some (we know who) want to turn his factory into a kind of museum. You see the holocaust industry is a quite profitable activity but as it seems it needs to add some new sight-seeing. 


However, in the place that the factory is located, this plan met an opposition as the local population (who knows beter than hollywood wants you to believe) has a different opinion on Oscar Schindler.

More info on this article HERE

Some intresting parts:

"Jaroslav Novak is also head of the Shoah and Oskar Schindler Memorial Endowment Memorial Foundation which is bidding to convert it into a museum.
But he is being met with staunch opposition because many locals in the tiny Bohemian village of Brněnec in Czech Republic think of Schindler - immortalised in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film - as a crook synonymous with gambling, womanising and heavy drinking."

 "I have been fighting for this for 20 years. But people are just not interested in it."

 "And despite Mr Novak, who is a native of the nearby town of Svitavy where Schindler was born, being close to persuading the Czech culture ministry to put a protection notice on the factory, perhaps the biggest issue he is facing is converting some of the locals."

 "Such is the opposition in the area, the present owner refuses to allow the house in which Schindler was born to be adorned with a plaque and a memorial in a park across the street was defaced with a swastika just days after its unveiling in 1994. "




And now something that not many has noticed. "Schindler`s list" the book that the film that "based on true story",  won the LOS ANGELES TIMES award in category "FICTION"

Strength & Spirit




"Strength is the morality of the man who stand out from the rest, and it is mine"

"Such men alone are my readers, my proper readers, my preordained readers. Of what account are the rest? The rest are simply....humanity. One must be superior to humanity in power, in loftiness of soul - in contempt"

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Edmund Blair Leighton - Master Artist of The Victorian Era

Edmund Blair Leighton (1852 –1922)

OBITUARY:

The death of Mr Edmund Blair Leighton, on September 1, removed from our midst a painter who, though he did not attain to the higher flights of art, yet played a distinguished part in aiding the public mind to an appreciation of the romance attaching to antiquity, and to a realisation of the fellowship of mankind throughout the ages.

Mr Blair Leighton was born in London, on September 1, 1853, his father being that Charles Blair Leighton, portrait and subject painter, whose exhibits at the Royal Academy and other London galleries covered the period between 1843 and 1855. The son was educated at University College School, before taking a position in an office in the city, but entered the Royal Academy Schools after a course of evening study at South Kensington and Heatherley's.

He commenced exhibiting in 1874, and succeeded, four years later, in securing the verdict of the Hanging Committee of the Royal Academy in favour of two works, entitled respectively ‘
Witness My Act and Seal,’ and ‘A Flaw in the Title.’ Since then his highly wrought style was regularly represented at Burlington House until two years prior to his decease. Among the better known of his pictures, many of which were published, may be named ‘The Dying Copernicus (1880), To Arms (1888), Lay thy sweet hand in mine and trust in me ( 1891), Lady Godiva (1892), Two Strings (1893), Launched in Life (1894), The Accolade (1901), Tristan and Isolde (1907), The Dedication (1908), The Shadow (1909), ‘To the Unknown Land (1911),’ and ‘The Boyhood of Alfred The Great,’ 1913. For the past dozen years or so, Mr E Blair Leighton had been a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. He had married in 1885, Miss Katherine Nash, by whom he had, with a daughter, one son, Mr E J Blair Leighton, who has also adopted painting as a profession.

SELECTED WORKS:


Tristan and Isolde (1902)

Godspeed! (1900)
Accolade (1901)
Stitching The Standard (1911)
My Fair Lady (1914)
