What is this song is about:

This song was recorded by an artist named Wes, who hails from the Republic of Cameroon in Central Africa. The song gained fame in Europe, even though it was sung in the Cameroonian language called Duala.

 According to "Pikkulokki" "Alane" is a song of exuberant love, intertwined with minor material conflicts in our lives that we must overcome. These conflicts are deemed insignificant in the grand scheme of earthly life, while our need to connect with others is seen as the most effective way to break down barriers.

Doef Daf Away from Us

Elandre: Vuur op die Water (2019)

 Doef Daf

If it were just us,
It would be so simple for all of us.
Me watching you,

When I woke up this morning,
I saw you without clothes,
Naked in a pose,

Someone has to leave us,
Spring has to teach us,
Winter, Autumn were all about us,

Summer didn't give you trust,
Doef daf
Back off from us

- Pieter Lategan 2024

Pieter Lategan Notes about Doef Daf:

This poem is about insecurity and the time he spends in the different seasons with a relationship that is on the rocks, busy crumbling in front of him.

Sitting and do Nothing

Sunday, 18 August 2024 15:31

I am working with one person and thinking about how we are going to help him. There is always hope in life; if you don't know where you are, you need to find a starting point in life, and I believe you need to have faith.

To achieve something, you need to plan and create something out of nothing and work on that, using the knowledge you have gained through life.

What is Kitsch Art?

Kitsch Art is essentially art with bad taste, categorized as poor art. Today, kitsch art is not as negatively perceived. The association that something is so kitsch is no longer there; it is about embracing the art or the artist, such as Mr. Vladimir Tretchikoff, who was well-known for working within the Kitsch art movement.

This poor art, kitsch art, was mainly recognized by Americans and Europeans, but now it is acknowledged worldwide. - Pieter Lategan 8 August 2024

The Power of the Dream

Song by Celine Dion

Lyrics

Deep within each heart

There lies a magic spark

That lights the fire of our imagination

And since the dawn of man

The strength of just "I can"

Has brought together people of all nations

There's nothing ordinary

In the living of each day

There's a special part

Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn

Teaching lessons we must learn

To bring us closer to the power of the dream

As the world gives us its best

To stand apart from all the rest

It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far

The rest is just pure heart

You'll find your fate is all your own creation

And every boy and girl

As they come into this world

They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

Feel the flame forever burn

Teaching lessons we must learn

To bring us closer to the power of the dream

The world in lights and hope and peace

We pray that you will always be

It is the power of the dream that brings us here

There's so much strength in all of us

Every woman child and man

It's the moment that you think you can't

You'll discover that you can

Feel the flame forever burn

Teaching lessons we must learn

(To bring us closer to) the power of the dream

The world in lights and hope and peace

(We'll pray that) it will always be

It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Feel the flame (forever burn)

Teaching (lessons we must learn)

(To bring us closer to) we've got to learn the power of the dream

(The world in lights and hope and peace)

We pray that it will always be

(It is) the power of the dream that brings us

To realize the power of the dream

To realize the power of the dream

What does the Paris 2024 logo represent?

At first glance, the mascot for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games may look like a red triangle with arms, but it's actually a Phrygian cap — a symbol of freedom in France's history.

About 6 years ago I did my take on Vladimir Tretchikoff's Green Lady painting. In 2024 this year I repainted the Trechikoff the Chinese Girl again and it was good to see the difference in how far my style has evolved by painting the same subject 6 years apart.

Meaning of Vladimir ( Wikipedia)

Vladimir (Russian: Влади́мир, pre-1918 orthography: Владиміръ) is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, widespread throughout all Slavic nations in different forms and spellings. The earliest record of a person with the name is Vladimir of Bulgaria (r. 889–893).

Etymology

The Old East Slavic form of the name is Володимѣръ Volodiměr, while the Old Church Slavonic form is Vladiměr. According to Max Vasmer, the name is composed of Slavic владь vladĭ "to rule" and *mēri "great", "famous" (related to Gothic element mērs, -mir, c.f. Theodemir, Valamir). The modern (pre-1918) Russian forms Владимиръ and Владиміръ are based on the Church Slavonic one, with the replacement of мѣръ by миръ or міръ resulting from a folk etymological association with миръ "peace" or міръ "world".

The Bolshevik reform of Russian spelling in 1918 abolished the orthographic distinction between миръ (peace) and міръ (universe, world): both are now spelled as мир, so the name came to be spelled Владимир.

Questions and Answers:

 

Questions for Vladimir Tretchikoff

Interviewer: "Good afternoon, Mr. Tretchikoff."

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "Good afternoon."

 

Interviewer: "What is your full name?"

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "Vladimir Grigoryevich Tretchikoff."

 

Interviewer: "If I say you are a self-thought-out Russian-born artist, am I correct?"

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "Yes, that is correct."

 

Interviewer: "Thank you. Can you please tell me the meaning of the name you carry, Vladimir?"

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "My name is a very well-known name in the countries of Slavica and Russia. The meaning of my name, Vladimir, is a very powerful name in my country, where I was born and where I lived until the new order of the Soviet Union. It means to rule with greatness; you can also say ruler of peace or the world."

 

Interviewer: "Mr. Tretchikoff, can you tell us what your lucky number is and why?"

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "My lucky number is 13. I was born on December 13, 1913, in Kazakhstan. I am a very superstitious man, but still, I believe in the number 13."

 

Interviewer: "Tell me what happened during 1917–1922."

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "That specific time was after the Russian Revolution, and my family and I moved far east of Russia."

 

Interviewer: "Why did you move to that side of the country?"

 

Vladimir Trethikoff: "The only reason I can remember is because we tried to escape the Soviet Republic."

 

Interviewer: "Why did you and your family, and I also believe a lot of other Russians tried to escape the Soviet Union? Can you tell us more?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "What happened was that in my country, Russia, the new Russia after the bloody revolution, there was political and social change in the Soviet Republic that forced a lot of Russians to leave and go live somewhere else."

 

Interviewer: "Was it hard for you and your family to move away from your town, which you called home?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Yes, it was very difficult for my parents. We end up in China with just a few belongings."

 

Interviewer: "What do you think was the feeling of the people who were not pro-government and could not flee the country?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Well, what could they do? They must live with this new Union Republic, so they need to adapt or die. I feel sorry for the people with this long struggle they had and follow it always on the news. I mean, the fall of the Berlin Wall gave a lot of artists control over their art, which they did not have during communism. Remember, all of a sudden, the artists living in those countries had sudden freedom of artistic creativity, and that changed the art of the artist; they walked into a new area of their own creativity."

 

Interviewer: "Did the Chinese Girl or your painting, also known as "The Green Lady," have a connection with the fact that you lived in China?"

 

Vladimir looked at me, and there was silence. I could see his thoughts were very far away, and I was wondering what was going through his mind.

Interviewer: "You remember the Chinese girls?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: He looked at me with a smile and started to laugh.

Interviewer: "Sorry, I went over to the next question. Mr. Tretchikoff, please tell me, To move to another country or a new country because of politics, it must have been hard to do for your family."

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Yes, it was; my father could not get a job in China, so we were very poor and cold."

 

Interviewer: "You and your family were cold."

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff nodded and said, "Yes."

 

There was a silence between us, and we just looked at each other. I did not know what to say, but all I could do was listen.

 

Interviewer: "Did you ever think of going back to Russia?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "I was only 11 years old when my mother passed away."

 

Interviewer: "What did she die off?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "She died of typhus; it was high fever, and so forth; she was really very sick. I was the youngest of eight children, so it was very tense for me to lose my mother at such a young age. I remember when she was busy dying, I took a pencil and started to draw her to keep her face in my memory. One of the reasons I did that was because we could not afford photography, so all I could do was draw her."

 

Interviewer: "Is it possible to make that sketch public for us to see?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: 'No."

 

Interviewer: "I am really sorry about your loss. I still need to know if you ever want to go back to Russia. I mean, your father left the house because he struggled to deal with your mother's death. I mean, was it hard for you and your siblings to have your mother pass away and then hear that your father might drown himself in a river? It must have been very difficult for you at that age; I mean, at that time of your life, you need your mommy and daddy."

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "I thought of going back but am very glad that I did not, and I went and saw the world. I have the freedom to work in theater."

 

Interviewer: "Yes, theater is something different; the crew and cast became like a family. I remember while studying in theater, after a production, you were friends and always started to greet each other. What did you experience?

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Yes, I was only 16 when I joined the theater in the Opera House in the Chinese-Russian theater. All our children, after our loss, had to jump and find jobs to survive. My dream has been to become an artist in Paris since I was a young boy. I was lucky to find a job. I managed to go to school till I was 16 years old. I went to school, and after hours, I did backdrops at the theater house."

 

Interviewer: "It takes a lot of teamwork to work on such productions, I know. All the artists are busy getting work done before the curtains open."

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: He laughs, and I see the excitement of bittersweetness in his eyes. "Yes, that was teamwork, and I was still very young at the time."

 

Interviewer: "So tell me, what did you do at such a young age as crew? I mean, you started working when you were 11 years old; that is very young for a boy or a child to work and earn money."

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Well, in the beginning, I was basically a jack of all trades."

 

Interviewer: "Runner?"

 

Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Yes, runner, make coffee, and do all the small jobs the others can't do. That actually made me happy because I feel worth it and that I am helpful. I was proud of myself."

 

Interviewer: "Mr. Vladimir Tretchikoff, we run out of time. I need to thank you for this wonderful insight into your personal life and all the questions we want to know about you, your pain, your excitement, and above all, your love for art. Thank you for helping me fall in love with your kitsch."

Vladimir Tretchikoff: With a smile, he nodded and looked at me first. He looked at the audience and said, "Thank you."

 

Interviewer: "I want to leave the audience with a thought: where will the Chinese Girl be in the next 20 years, 40 years, or 50 years?"

Notes: 

Our relationship, which is on the rocks, may be the best for both of us. The breakup with a partner was always hard for me. Everything is busy falling apart; I can even write a poem about the feelings and emotions that are bursting inside me.

Sitting alone and trying to figure out what went wrong and why it was unsuccessful after three and a half years. How can someone say to you that you will be mine forever and, after a few years, just drop you and not feel the same? Then I have to accept that it was not real love.

Finding mistakes - The Freedom I now have. for Anton

It is easy to lie or find
wrong inside a broken man
Sometimes it is fair to kill love
but real love is wrong
not okay to write about it
To kill or forget about it.
It is cold, winter now sad, August with winds
Leaves who leave the trees
Nature is true so are feelings of the human
being in love is a privilege.

 It was only you
the care was just for you
it killed the loneliness I feel sadness when you not around
but you kill the sound of silence
made it alive
for you and my love to you

You will live in my thoughts because it was amazing having you with me
You can't say the same to me
will love you till I forget what we had
Leave you alone on the road I once had
Only in a way sad

Please note this is my personal opion about Me. Jani Allan

She died of cancer; however, my mother also had cancer. With the grace of God, my mother recovered, but daddy did not due to the freak accident.

Allan was a journalist like my mother, but she was an even bigger media personality.

She became well-known for her articles in the Sunday Times, the weekly newspaper in South Africa. The Maverick, a daily newspaper in South Africa, described Allan as "the most influential writer and columnist in the country".

Jani a city girl from Randburg Johannesburg gained media interest with the interview with world known leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, Mr. Eugene Terre'Blanche (31 January 1941– 3 April 2010) who was a famer in Ventersdorp in South Africa during the Apartheid area and murdered on 3 April 2010. I remember I was in Cape Town with a friend of mine, that morning when I heard it on the news. It was very upsetting because he was beaten up, which was the reason for his death.

Pieter Lategan Notes on the Painting "Vladimir" 2024

Pieter Lategan Photo Selfie (10 August 2024 -- Pretoria South Africa)

I studied to become a decor painter in the theater and film industries. I never had a chance to prove myself in that industry and went straight to design.
While studying art, I learned that we are essentially copiers. We replicate existing artwork for specific scenes. We were instructed to create paintings inspired by the old masters to be used in theater productions. - Pieter Lategan (2024)
