Eine kurze Karriere auf See

Carl Schiesser aus Ochsenfurt hatte eine kurze Karriere als Schiffskoch. Sie kann nicht länger als zwei bis drei Jahre gedauert haben.

Der 1889 in Ochsenfurt (Unterfranken) geborene Schiesser ging nach Kochlehre und Militärdienst nach Australien.

Die Kosten für seine Überfahrt hat Schiesser wahrscheinlich auf dem NDL-Dampfer „Scharnhorst“ als Schiffskoch abgearbeitet. In Parramatta, Großraum Sydney lebt er bei Verwandten (Freunden?), wie viele Aufnahmen vom ihm nahelegen. Die meiste Zeit verbrachte er jedoch auf See. Er arbeitete als erster Schiffskoch (chief cook) auf dem Dampfer „Prinz Sigismund“.

Wir finden Schiesser auf Mannschaftlisten vom Dezember 1912 und März 1913. Im August 1914 war Schiesser immer noch (oder wieder) als Schiffskoch auf der „Prinz Sigismund“. Damit war seine Seefahrerkarriere auch schon…

“When, in 1893, Redon began to use colour, the nightmarish and macabre visions that had previously predominated in the drawings he called his Noirs gave way to a brighter vision of the world.
La Voile grise is thus emblematic of Redon’s lyrical seascapes in which he depicted small stranded boats, a theme he would later return to in dozens of paintings and pastels…As indicated by the sky shot through by a rainbow of dazzling multicoloured stripes, Redon shares with Mallarmé and the Symbolist poets the idea that Art should not describe the subject itself but rather the effect the subject produces. “He knew how to suggest an ambiance without spelling it out,” notes John Rewald, “how to indicate things without defining…

“A converted sail loft in St Ives provided the backdrop to a series of religious pictures that the Austrian-born painter Marianne Stokes completed during her residence in the town between 1887 and 1899. Her husband Adrian was a pivotal member of the early St Ives colony… The Cornish Telegraph was able to review it before its journey on the train, thus: “The mother, fragile and worn, with more delicate beauty of feature than Mrs Stokes usually aims at, is seated, leaning back, quietly sleeping, on a grey rug against a pile of straw, the straw being painted with particular singularity of detail. In her lap lies the Holy Child, bound in swathing bands, and standing side by side are two twin…

Poem:

Rooted in love,
Grounded in substance,
of the matrix of our heart
that maps us from country to country,
continent to continent,
home to home,
cell to cell.

When we sift through
the hatred, greed,
immaterial and political divide
that should be banned,
colors collide.

Won’t you stand with me and ban all racism,
all segregation,
all judgment
and be the light of the world?

I wish you peace, so
You might sleep.
Enough food that your belly is satisfied,
presence of mind,
that you might think before you act,
instinct, to ward off danger,

Love so you may remember together,
we are one
and always hope,
so we unite and wake up
to always do right,
Rooted In Love.
