Just over a century ago, a young Scottish medical student similarly transported himself to live in that fantastic, creative melting pot. John Duncan Fergusson spent 2 years at Edinburgh University before giving up his medical studies to become a painter, initially visiting France in summers when he stayed as long as he could afford, but in 1905 he moved permanently, abandoning family and convention, to live the rest of his J. d.

  • Rua Augusta / Baixa Street Sounds Sofia
    Episode 9. Mouth of Hell Location: Rua Augusta / Baixa Street sounds Sofia: You should now walk down Rua Augusta towards Terreiro do Paço. In 1929 Fernando Pessoa is reading the first volume of the Confessions of Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a notorious British magician and occultist. [00:00:29.09] Steffen Dix: He knew several famous figures. He was in contact with Aldous Huxley, with Albert Einstein. He prepared an exhibition in Berlin with some great German modernists, so Crowley was a very international figure. He lived between Berlin, London and Paris and travelled around the world, while Pessoa never left downtown Lisbon. And in this sense there couldn’t be a greater contrast than Crowley and Pessoa. Aleister Crowley voice recording Aleister Crowley: In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth. Sofia: The press dubbed Crowley "the wickedest man in the world". He identified himself as the “Antichrist” and he called himself "The Beast 666". On December 4th, 1929 Fernando Pessoa wrote to Crowley's publisher, Mandrake Press. It was to correct a mistake in the magician's astrological chart. Street sounds Steffen Dix: And he asked if the publisher could tell Crowley and the publisher did so. Then Crowley got in touch, maybe he found some interest in Pessoa and he was fairly quick to state that he was coming to Portugal. Sofia: This started a correspondence that led to a meeting between Pessoa and Crowley on September 2nd, 1930, in Lisbon.

    John Duncan Fergusson (1864-1961) • Fergusson was born outside Edinburgh in March 1874, from a middle-class family • He spent two years at the School of Art • However, a formal artistic training did not appeal to him and he was frustrated by the conservative and old-fashioned teaching • Throughout his career he was highly anti-establishment • Responded by establishing his own studio and teaching himself to paint • He ended up studying in Paris at the Academies Colarossi in 1895 • Here he was exposed to Parisian Avant Garde café culture – where ideas of artists, writers, poets etc were exchanged in the vibrant city • This would have involved spending time and sharing ideas with artists such as Picasso and Matisse • He was able to visit exhibitions and was exposed to the work of the Impressionists • Paris had a huge impact on him, and he continued to return every summer for ten years • The Fauve exhibition at the Salon Automne in 1905 had a big impact on his work • By 1907 he moved to Paris permanently and exhibited his own work at the Salon des Indipendents and the Salon D’Automne • During this time his work evolved, with bold and vibrant colours becoming key • In 1910 his work underwent a shift again where he produced a large number of female nude paintings • Colour, line and form became hugely significant in his work and he showed clear influences by Matisse • After 1912 he mostly focused on landscape painting • His work shows that he was influenced by Cézanne • While being inspired by others he used what he saw to create his own style

  • An Idea of Justice in the Platonic Tradition of Russian Religious Philosophy
    An Idea of Justice in the Platonic Tradition of Russian Religious Philosophy Lilia Castle, Chaminade University of Honolulu, USA The Asian Conference on Ethnic, Religion and Philosophy 2016 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The Platonic tradition is very strong in the ontology and cosmology of Russian religious philosophy. The notion of the celestial and terrestrial hierarchies, of Sophia as the foundation and the final goal of mankind established in classical Greece were remarkably developed in the views of such Russian philosophers as Vladimir Solovyov, Fr. Sergei Bulgakov, and Fr. Paul Florensky. The Greek theories of matter were developed in Russian Religious thought within the parameters of transfiguration. Anthropocentricism, rather than theocentrism or cosmocentrism, was seen as central in Russian religious tradition, and an idea of Justice manifested in man’s choice was perceived as essential to the process of man’s transfiguration. The dialectic between man’s reason and contemplation produces the form for the revelations of mystical perception. Just choice is seen as a focal point in the spiritual transition and the destiny of man. Man’s spiritual self could be preserved and developed only with the divine foundation of life. The denial of God leads a person to disarray, to the loss of his spiritual center, to the destruction of his inner order, and finally, the death of his sacred self. Both Greek and Russian philosophers emphasize justice being essential in the foundation of an ideal benevolent state; though the last ones assert the necessity of the consistency of temporal law with the divine. The meaning of life cannot be justified otherwise than in connection with the presence of the divine both in man and in state.

A concluding comment on Pat Douthwaite’s 1993 solo exhibition, made by The Scotsman’s art critic Edward Gage. The ‘maverick’ label is often attached to Douthwaite to encompass a variety of the artist’s more striking traits: her troubled personality, the restless, nomadic lifestyle that took her across the world in search of subjects and meaning and her complete disregard for anything that did not further the development of her artwork, despite it making her a difficult figure to manage and work with. A good example is an incident in which she broke into a house and stole back one of her paintings from a buyer whom she did not consider worthy of owning her work. This demanding, uncompromising commitment and all- encompassing focus on her work paid off. She developed and sustained a distinctive, signature style characterised by raw feeling and idiosyncratic lines. Douthwaite was fascinated by historical heroines including Greek deities, Mary Queen of Scots and the aviator Amy Johnson and often depicted them as well as herself. Her images of women remain the most powerful and popular of her works, truly encapsulating the pain and suffering women can experience and endure.
