Homage to Liu Xiaobo

Posted on July 16, 2017 by raoulpat

In memory of Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, who died in prison on 13 July 2017. This citation is from the Charter 8 manifesto, which he and other Chinese intellectuals and human rights activists authored in 2008.

When and to whom did Gertrude Stein write this? . . . On display at Dog-Eared Books on Valencia St, San Francisco. . . . #gertrudesteinquotes #gertrudestein #dogearedbookssf #cansonmiteintespastelpaper #drmartinsbleedproofwhite #quotesaboutagin #withagecomeswisdom #blacklettercalligraphy #calligraphietextura #calligraphiegothique #calligraphybyraoul

What’s black and white and windy all over? . . . Answer: Today’s Blackletter brunch. Ward Dunham brought instructional handouts, and Alan Blackman brought several books. Ward’s handouts contained an exemplar of Bâtarde and a newspaper article about his stint teaching calligraphy at San Quentin. Among Alan’s books, there was a 1985 issue of Calligraphy Idea Exchange with a cover page by @alansmercury himself and an instructional manual called Kreatives Schreiben, published by Rotring and containing the calligraphy of Hermann Zapf. When not talking calligraphy, we tried on Ward’s ring and compared nail polish. Join us next month on Sunday, March 1st 2020 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for more Blackletter fun, hopefully with less wind. The address of Half Moon Bay Coffee is: Half Moon Bay Coffee 20 A Stone Pine Rd. Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 . . . #blackletterbrunch #alanblackman #hermannzapf #warddunham #halfmoonbaycoffee #vikinghands #batardecalligraphy #nailpolish #calligraphystudygroup #bayareacalligraphystudygroup #sfcalligraphystudygroup #blacklettercalligraphy #calligraphyhalfmoonbay #halfmoonbaycalligraphy #blackletterclub #blackletterbrunch @hmbcoffeeco #gertrudesteinquotes

My heart’s in my hand, and my hand is pierced, and my hand’s in the bag, and the bag is shut, and my heart is caught. From Notre Dame des Fleurs (Our Lady of the Flowers) by Jean Genet, 1942.
