FREIBURGER ZEITGEISTLITERATURE (Satis Shroff)

Culture, Wine & Olives in Crispiano (Satis Shroff)   COME with me to Crispiano, a lovely town with fragrances and flowers from the vineyards and olive trees in the Masseria, where the sun smiles all day.  I never met such amiable people as the people in Crispiano and Taranto.  Dolche vita and amore mio, Crispiano. It lies in the region Ampulia in the province of Taranto in the Southern Italian Zone, and has a population of 13,809 . The people are called Crispianesi and the saint of the town is: Madonna della Neve. The flight from Zürich to Brindisi was pleasant, even though the jet was full. I had a window seat on the left side of the Finnish jet and the personnel spoke German with a distinctly Swiss accent. It was fascinating to see Lake Constance (Bodensee) and the Swiss lakes reveal themselves only to be hidden by clouds, akin to those I’d often seen on Tibetan thankas. Clouds of all shapes and sizes marked the journey and suddenly you noticed, as we l...

(c)Paintings, beyeler fondation, basle, schweiz Nipponese Influence in Monet‘s Art (Satis Shroff) It was a beautiful day in May with just the clouds moving languidly across the sky above the Rhine Valley. You could see the Vosges beyond the vineyards of Kaiserstuhl and the Schwarzwald seemed to be receding. It was lunchtime that I arrived in the second biggest town (after Zurich) in Switzerland, namely Basle. This Swiss town has almost the same population as Freiburg. I headed straight for Minamoto: a Japanese restaurant to fortify myself.. Apero was Riesling Kung Fu Girl, followed by Salat Kaarage, which turned out to be a salad compositae, as the French call it, with baked poulet pieces  in a plum vinnaigrette. Mundgerecht, as we say in German.  I opted for the Minamoto Don: meat in a Japanese onion sauce with Bei Shoga ginger. I skipped the Tiramisu because my inner man doesn’t prefer it and  chose Umeshu-plum wine choya. Influence of Japan:  Why doe...

I was invited by my former singer colleague Herbert Tombreul, who is a adept artist too to his gallery in the Ziegelmattenstrasse 14.. It was a wonderful vernissage with the title 'Jetzt-Zeit-Kunst' with his own works, which I have presented sometime back in this website, as well as the works of other artists and friends. There's also a calendar to go with these paintings: 1. Stella Xu with a painting bearing the title ' Madam' Acryl B40xH50cm 2. Bernd Schwär 'Meine Sehnsucht' 3. Claudia Gerber 'Achillea' 4. Claudia Hillemans 'Mörder, Manny' 5. Bernd Schwär 'Flur' 6. Sibylle Zapf 'Wandblüte' 7. Heetom 'Malerhirn' 8. Heetom 'Überflieger' 9. Claudia Hillemans '11. September' 10. Bernd Schwär 'Afrika' 11.

 Ich hoffe, dass die Dialog über die Grenzen und Kulturen hinweg zu einer friedlicheren Welt führt, in der Werte, Kunst, Kultur und Wirtschaft fürs Leben menschlicher werden können und sich Naturnah entwickeln dürfen (Hans-Jürgen Bell) BELLA VENEZIA (Satis Shroff) It was a bright sunny morning when Claudia, Giacomo, Silvana I headed for Italy from Freiburg. The first Swiss town we went through was Basel, which is known for its university and chemical firms near the Swiss-German border. The sky was a cobalt-blue as we sped through the Arisdorf tunnel. In Switzerland you have to go through a lot of tunnels. The Swiss have introduced a vignette system whereby every car has to have a sticker pasted on its windscreen at a cost of 30 Swiss francs annually. The Swiss autobahn (highway) was surrounded by breath-taking scenery, with green pastures and rounded hillocks. In the distance you could see the Alps. As you speed along the well-maintained highway you see picturesque tiny tow...
