FRENCH CO-DISCOVERER OF 'LUCY', THE FAMOUS FOSSIL, PALEONTOGIST YVES COPPENS, DIES AT 87
French paleontologist Yves Coppens, credited with the co-discovery of the famous fossil find known as "Lucy", died on Wednesday aged 87 after a long illness, his publisher said.
"France has lost one of its great men," publisher Odile Jacob tweeted, adding that beyond his science skills, Coppens had also been "a talented writer, storyteller and non-fiction author".
Coppens called himself one of Lucy's 'daddies'
He was, with Maurice
Taieb and Donald Johanson, part of the team that found the most complete
remnants of an Australopithecus afarensis ever discovered, in 1974 in Hadar,
Ethiopia.
The team nicknamed
the 3.2- million-year-old female hominid "Lucy" after the Beatles
song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" which they listened to while
labeling the fossils.
Based on the large
part of Lucy they found, 40 percent of her skeleton, the scientists were able
to determine her height (one meter, 3.5 feet) and show that she was muscular
and able to climb trees as well as walk upright.
Coppens, who was
born in Britanny and was the son of a nuclear physicist father, co-signed six
hominid discoveries over his career.
"At six or
seven years old I already wanted to become an archaeologist," Coppens told
AFP in 2016. "All my holiday time was spent at digs," he added.
Coppens was admitted
to France's prestigious CNRS scientific center in 1956 when he was still only
22.
He began traveling to Africa from the 1960s, starting with Algeria and
Chad.
His first major discovery came in 1967, a 2.6-million-year-old fossil in
the Omo valley in Ethiopia.
Then in 1974 came the international expedition in Ethiopia's Afar triangle
that was to make Coppens, his friend and fellow Frenchman Taieb and Donald
Johanson, an American, world famous for the discovery of Lucy.
Coppens often
referred to himself as one of Lucy's "daddies" ("papas" in
French).
For a long time
after the find, which comprised 52 bone fragments,
scientists believed that she was a direct ancestor of humanity.
But this claim is no
longer widely believed, and Coppens as well as other paleontologists came
instead to view Lucy as a distant cousin of mankind.
Later Coppens ran digs in Mauritania, the Philippines, Indonesia, Siberia,
China and Mongolia.
Back home, he became director of the Musee de l'Homme (Museum of Mankind)
in Paris, was given the paleontology chair in the prestigious College de
France, and joined France's Academy of Science.
He also won several prizes, served as an advisor on environmental questions
to the French government, and wrote several books and more than a million scientific articles.
Besides the
discovery of Lucy, Coppens once told AFP, he was particularly proud to have
"made an irrefutable link between the emergence of man and climate change".
As forests gave place to savannas, man stopped climbing trees, began to walk upright and needed to develop brain power to keep carnivores at bay, he said.

IN AMERICA: METROPOLITAN MUSEM, AN ANTHOLOGY OF FASHION EXHIBITION
The Costume Institute’s In America: An Anthology of Fashion is the second portion of a two-part exhibition exploring fashion in the United States.
Presented in collaboration with The Met’s American Wing, this section of the exhibition will highlight sartorial narratives that relate to the complex and layered histories of the American Wing period rooms.
Men’s and women’s dress dating from the eighteenth century to the present will be featured in vignettes installed in select period rooms spanning ca. 1805 to 1915: a Shaker Retiring Room from the 1830s; a nineteenth-century parlor from Richmond, Virginia; a panoramic 1819 mural of Versailles; and a twentieth-century living room designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, among others.
These interiors display a survey of more than two hundred years of American domestic life and tell a variety of stories—from the personal to the political, the stylistic to the cultural, and the aesthetic to the ideological.
The exhibition will reflect on these narratives through a
series of three-dimensional cinematic “freeze frames” produced in collaboration
with notable American film directors. These mise-en-scènes will explore the
role of dress in shaping American identity and address the complex and layered
histories of the rooms.

LE MANUSCRIT RETROUVÉ DE LOUIS FERDINAND CÉLINE, "GUERRE"
Louis-Ferdinand Céline/5 199 NOTES
EAN : 9782072983221
GALLIMARD (05/05/2022)
GALLIMARD (05/05/2022)
Parmi les manuscrits de Louis-Ferdinand Céline récemment retrouvés figurait une liasse de deux cent cinquante feuillets révélant un roman dont l’action se situe dans les Flandres durant la Grande Guerre. Avec la transcription de ce manuscrit de premier jet, écrit quelque deux ans après la parution de Voyage au bout de la nuit (1932), une pièce capitale de l’œuvre de l’écrivain est mise au jour. Car Céline, entre récit autobiographique et œuvre d’imagination, y lève le voile sur l’expérience centrale de son existence : le traumatisme physique et moral du front, dans l’« abattoir international en folie ». On y suit la convalescence du brigadier Ferdinand depuis le moment où, gravement blessé, il reprend conscience sur le champ de bataille jusqu’à son départ pour Londres. À l’hôpital de Peurdu-sur-la-lys, objet de toutes les attentions d’une infirmière entreprenante, Ferdinand, s’étant lié d’amitié au souteneur Bébert, trompe la mort et s’affranchit du destin qui lui était jusqu’alors promis. Ce temps brutal de la désillusion et de la prise de conscience, que l’auteur n’avait jamais abordé sous la forme d’un récit littéraire autonome, apparaît ici dans sa lumière la plus crue. Vingt ans après 14, le passé, « toujours saoul d'oubli », prend des « petites mélodies en route qu'on lui demandait pas ». Mais il reste vivant, à jamais inoubliable, et Guerre en témoigne tout autant que la suite de l'œuvre de Céline.
JOAQUÍN SOROLLA AND ESTEBAN VICENTE: IN THE LIGHT OF THE GARDEN. ET UN LIVRE. "AZNAVOUR VU DE DOS"
August 7–October 16, 2022
The exhibition In the Light of the Garden introduces the work of two Spanish masters in the context of the light and color emanating from their gardens—a vibrant source of inspiration in their final creative periods. Joaquín Sorolla (Spanish, b. 1863−1923) designed the garden at his home, now the Sorolla Museum in Madrid, between 1909 and 1911, conceiving of it as a reflection of his own creativity and a work of art in itself. Art and nature became one in this private place of inspiration and retreat. For Sorolla, as for the other artists of the time, the garden was part of the realm of the senses.

the Sorolla House, 1918 –19. Oil on canvas,25 ¼ x 37 ¼ in. Museo

Almost half a century later, in 1964, Esteban
Vicente (American, born Spain, 1903 ̶ 2001) and his wife Harriet acquired a Dutch
colonial-style farmhouse in Bridgehampton, New York, on Long Island, where he
set up a studio for painting in an 18th-c. barn on the property and cultivated
a beautiful garden, an ever-changing field of color.
In the Light of the Garden is presented in
collaboration with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente in Segovia,
Ana Doldán de Cáceres, Director. The presentation at the Parrish Art Museum,
organized by Chief Curator Alicia Longwell, is supported by the Harriet and
Esteban Vicente Foundation.

HUGO PRATT: "GLI SCORPIONI DEL DESERTO". ET UN AUTRE LIVRE, "APHORISMES SUR L´ARCHITECTURE", TOM BENOIT
Dopo oltre 50 anni dall’uscita delle tavole originali su Sg. Kirk, Rizzoli Lizard esce con una riedizione delle prime tre storie de “Gli Scorpioni”, riportandoci nel cuore dell’Africa Orientale durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale insieme al capitano polacco al servizio di Sua Maestà e al poliedrico gruppo di uomini che lo affianca.
Un’edizione in grande formato, che nasconde una sorpresa preziosa: per l’occasione le tavole sono state ricolorate a mano da Patrizia Zanotti, seguendo le indicazioni originarie di Hugo Pratt.
“Assassini? Uomini perduti? Eroi? Strano come la guerra cambia gli
uomini…ma Hassan, Kord e Koïnsky non ci pensano. Nel deserto l’unica cosa che
conta è mettere un piede davanti all’altro”
Gli Scorpioni del deserto
1940.
Il tenente Koïnsky e i suoi uomini si aggirano per l’Africa orientale al
servizio di Sua Maestà Britannica: li chiamano “Gli Scorpioni del deserto”. Sul
loro stemma campeggia uno scorpione dorato, quello del Long Range Desert Group,
e sarà lo scenario duro e ostile del Sahara che accompagnerà gli uomini nell’avventura,
o nella follia.
Il volume include i primi tre capitoli della
saga de Gli Scorpioni del deserto: la prima, che porta il titolo omonimo, cui
si aggiungono Piccolo Chalet e Vanche Dancale. Tre storie dove rincontreremo
alcuni personaggi già incrociati nel cammino di Corto Maltese e altri che
nascondono – ma nemmeno troppo – alcuni spunti biografici della vita di Hugo
Pratt durante il periodo africano.
Ancora una volta il segno grafico di Pratt, la
sua cultura storica e l’esperienza degli scenari di guerra, danno vita ad una
serie di personaggi cinici e complicati allo stesso tempo, sospesi tra la disciplina
militare e le debolezze interiori. Seguendo lo sguardo severo e profondo del
capitano Koïnsky incontreremo il tenente fascista Stella, opportunista ma con
una morale tutta sua, e Cush, il fiero e intransigente guerriero dancalo amico
di Corto Maltese, il capitano Palchetti – uno scalmanato amante dell’opera che
comanda un fortino nel deserto come se fosse su di un palcoscenico teatrale – e
la bellissima Kismet.

ET UN LIVRE:
"APHORISMES SUR L´ARCHITECTURE"
"Aphorismes sur l’architecture", le dernier ouvrage de Tom Benoit, le philosophe de Chroniques, est paru au début du mois de juin 2022 chez NBE-éditions.* La préface est signée Rudy Ricciotti. Quelques bonnes feuilles en quelques énoncés.
Dans sa préface, Rudy Ricciotti explique avoir perçu cet ouvrage « comme un fait d’armes littéraire, un manifeste glorifiant le digne combat de l’attachement à la matière et au réel, également comme l’engagement républicain d’un philosophe qui décline les mortifères suggestions d’une époque à laquelle il ne semble pas parvenir totalement à échapper ».
« Il s’agit d’un témoignage de l’arrogance existentielle comme instinct de survie, d’un refus de l’humilité version sans panache de la vanité, et de la paranoïa comme lecture exacte de la fourberie de notre temps », écrit-il encore.
