Artist Artisan

The code used by the plumber for the bath taps is precisely opposite to the astronomer s rule of thumb. Between the artisan and the astronomer, Goethe chose the first. For him, and for all artists since the beginning of time, blue has been associated with what is spiritually cold. In his Theory of Colours Zur Farbenlehre, 1810), he wrote that blue expresses a purely empirical psychological impression of cold. Our own science places all sense perceptions such as sound, colour and heat firmly within the human sphere. Nothing outside the human being corresponds to these qualities. [Pg.22]

Machines were no longer instruments of slavery but tools of liberation, a gift from God, and it became important therefore to understand them, to improve them, and to build new ones. The machine culture was particularly nursed in Benedictine abbeys, but gradually it went outside their walls, spread into neighbouring urban communities, and entered the shops of artisans and artists. And finally it also knocked at the doors of universities. [Pg.20]

The Mundus included a vast array of descriptions of mining chemistry, metallurgical chemistry, and spagyrical (pharmaceutical) chemistry as well as chemistry useful to artists and artisans. Most notable, from the historical perspective, is his disbelief in alchemy, which was expounded m the Mundus. Perhaps not surprisingly, Boyle demurred at paying forty shillings for It. " ... [Pg.111]

KIWA-MERU" represents the essence of Japanese arts and technology. Japanese artists or artisans of both yesterday and today have kept polishing their techniques and improving their spirit as professionals. I firmly believe that such spirit is also important for researchers. [Pg.17]

We argue however that the first experiments were performed by artisans and the first theories proposed by philosophers— and that a revolution can be understood only in terms of what is being revolted against. Therefore we begin our story with the work of healers, artists, clothiers, and metal workers and show how early philosophers—explicitly or not— used the observations of artisans to develop the first chemical theories. One of these theories— the four-element (fire, water, earth, and air) theory of Aristotle— became the focus of experimental efforts for some two thousand years. [Pg.485]

Two small points seem to give students trouble. First, one hears constantly, I m no artist, I can t draw a good chair cyclohexane Nonsense. It does not take an artist, merely an artisan. Go slowly, do not scribble, and follow the simple procedure outlined in this chapter (p. 191ff). Drawing a perfect chair cyclohexane is one thing that everyone can do. [Pg.220]

It is the case that world class concert artists, almost without exception, choose to play on an instrument made by one of the Cremonese masters. It may be asked if it is really possible that artisans working 200 years ago were capable of producing a product superior to anything that can be made today. The general answer given by most violinists to this question would be yes. It is certainly true that the Cremonese instruments possess an... [Pg.411]

The tradition of ceramics with staimiferous glaze developed first in the entire Mediterranean Basin and thereafter across the Western world. In the 13 century, there was a substantial production of ceramics decorated with tin oxide in Spain. They would be exported in large quantities to the entire Mediterranean Basin, particularly to Italy and Southern France. It was at this time that the first centers for the production of faience were set up in Italy and shortly thereafter in Marseilles [COL 95]. Expansion was also favored by the recmitment of Spanish artists to work on royal building sites where they made use of their know-how by adapting it to local materials. Artisans from Saragossa, Jehan de Valence and Jehan-le-Voleur are known on the royal building sites of Mehun sur Yevre, where the first faience tiles have been found [BON 90]. [Pg.41]
