The Girling of the Boy Scouts Erases Men Mon Jul 29, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Well we could all go and buy books of Japanese art but for those interested in the exhibition:
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was an artist who practised during great sweeping changes in Japan which saw a reduction in medieval world view to modernisn.
His technique was woodblock printing, which means every little detail was carved onto a plate first- that style in Japan is called 'ukiyo-e':- Pictures of the Floating World.
'The One Hundred Aspects of the Moon' series comprises a series of portraits of
individuals each being linked to a moon phase, which is why they feature a lot of women.
[according to the blurb which accompanies the showing).
Yoshitoshi began to adopt western spatial technique during the period he created his
'floating world'.
The collection is lent by the Museum of International Folk Art, Museum of New Mexico,
USA and follows on from the Leonardo Codex and the sublime Durer exhibition
which included his most brilliant prints.The info and catalogues from the Leonardo
and Durer's are excellent pressie material for the rampant Bibliophile.
Personally I found the moon more interesting than the western spatial technique
which is short -speak for 'using perspective' and his women are wonderfully drawn.
This time of year is good for galleries cos the cafes are largely unpopulated
and the exhibition spaces quite empty. (its not commercial and therefore you get
time to study the prints/paintings/photos in great detail)
The exhibition came from the bequest of the late Else and Joseph Chapman,
haven't googled them yet.

The exhibition continues until Feburary 17th 2008 in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.
climber- 100 aspects of the moon .7
He came from the Samurai honour tradition
So many of his images (not on show in Ireland) dealt with 'honour'
The only complaint about the Chester Beatty is that unlike virtually every State funded museum they don't seem that interested in the Irish language. There are some large charts and lip-service stuff like that for sure, but generally the labels and information are in English, which is annoying when you're bringing kids around, as well as adults who have an interest in the language. All signs and labels should be bi-lingual, but I suppose the years in Ballsbridge have had their effect.
Am pretty sure that it would be rather complex to render aspects of early biblical stuff
into our Gaeilge-the art must stand on its own really. but I hear ye- the NGI has bi-lingual
signage.
But a titular rendering of the Nag Hammadi Gospels into Irish-now that I would like to
see. Next time I go to a seance must ask Mr Chester why he doth not render his signage
in Gaeilge.
Question:- do ye explain the painting to the kids in the language-thats a wonderful
way to teach children about art!
