Re: [Goanet] Lancelot Ribeiro... the godfather of generations of artists using acrylics as an alternative to oils. (via Wikipedia)

[Dom Martin]

It is profoundly gratifying to learn that another fellow Goan, Lancelot 
Ribeiro, who “pioneered the use of acrylics in the 1960’s”, has now garnered 
the paternal accolade as the “Godfather of generations of artists using 
acrylics as an alternative to oils”.  Before Lancelot, it was Abbe Faria, with 
the paternal accreditation of the “Father of Hypnotism”.


However, there is a disconcerting assertion in Wikipedia and elsewhere 
(http://www.art-mine.com/for-sale/paintings-submedium-acrylic/history-of-acrylic-painting)
 that acrylics was first patented by Otto Rohm in 1934, and its application 
thereafter, grandfathered by other artists several years before Lancelot was 
born, or decades before he settled for the palette.  Some tweaking or 
re-wicking of our cultural lampiao might help disperse any conflicting 
chiaroscuro re the timeline of the invention of acrylics, and its subsequent 
application and influence as an alternate medium in fine art.  


Similarly, a couple of notations in Wikipedia have chiseled away Panduring 
Ramchandra Kamat’s name from the plaque, attributing credit to him as the 
creator of the landmark statue of Abbe Faria in Panjim and in its place, 
inscribing the name of Constancio Fernandes.  Ouch!   Is someone tempering with 
our cultural lampiao or is it time for someone to invent a lunar operated 
lampiao so that the likes of me, stranded in time’s wheelchair, can 
successfully navigate ourselves to the nearest Asilo instead of ending up, 
unescorted, in one of Sweden’s more populated “no-go zone”?!.

[Goanet] the passing away of Kenya hockey stalwart Alu Mendonca.

[Gilbert Lawrence]

Subject: Re: [Goanet] the passing away of Kenya hockey stalwart Alu Mendonca.
From: John Nazareth 

Yes, he was a great player.  I had the honour of playing against him (and Silu, 
Hilary and Leo) when the Entebbe [Goan] Institute was in Nairobi for a sports 
visit with the RI in the early 70s.  I was vice-captain of the EI team, just 
out of university.  May God bless him for the joy he gave so many of us.


>From JOSEPH LOBO 
At  one time ,  in the  1960`s, Kenya`s hockey  team  was  a power-house  on 
the world`s  sporting  stage. It  combined the  talents of  young  men  who  
initially  learned their  craft on  the playing  fields of India  and 
Pakistan.and  schools  like  St..  Stanislaus, Bombay...St. 
Joseph`s, Bangalore  and  St.Paul's,  Belgaum were incubators of  young  
talent.also  were  home  grown  goan  boys    who  eventually moved  
from  player  to  Manager  of  the  national  side.  Also included were  young  
men  from  the Sir  Ali  Muslim Sports club of Nairobi.

GL responds:
Perhaps I live in an isolated environment.  
Do we Goans honor our stalwarts more when they are dead than when alive?Was Alu 
Mendonca a guest of honor at Goan social events to serve as a role-model for 
young Goans?

Goa Forward Fast-Forwards BJP Move to Upend State Verdict as
Parrikar Reclaims Power

BY DEVIKA SEQUEIRA
devikaseque...@gmail.com

Party with three MLAs that campaigned on anti-saffron
platform will now join hands to bring the BJP back to power.

me back home!' Defence minister
Manohar Parrikar outside
parliament. On Sunday night, he
was appointed chief minister of
Goa for the third time. Credit: PTI

Panaji: A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party was
convincingly shown the door in Goa, the party has managed to
subvert the electoral verdict and return to power again with
the support of the Goa Forward (GF) party, the
Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and some independents.
Late on Sunday night, according to PTI, Goa governor Mridula
Sinha appointed Manohar Parrikar -- currently defence
minister of India -- as chief minister of the state and gave
him 15 days to prove his majority in the assembly.

  Working overtime to muscle his way to power and
  undo a humiliating result for which he was mostly
  responsible as the chief campaigner and strategist,
  defence minister Manohar Parrikar managed to move
  the last hurdle in his way by capturing the support
  of the ambitious Goa Forward MLA Vijai Sardessai
  and two other members who held the key to
  government formation.

Parrikar is expected to resign as raksha mantri and return to
Goa -- which he once ran for seven years -- as head of the
motley new grouping which could be sworn in as early as
Tuesday. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who camped out in Goa
from Saturday night to facilitate negotiations with the MGP
given his good relations with party leader Sudin Dhavlikar,
was among those who went to Raj Bhavan late Sunday to stake a
claim on behalf of the BJP to government formation.

Goa Forward, whose leaders had claimed the Congress would be
their "natural choice" to ally with in government, has
virtually split over the decision. The party's president,
Prabhakar Timble, resigned on Sunday night over the
development. One member told this correspondent that
Sardessai walked off with the other two MLAs, even as
discussions were in progress on the terms being sought from
both the Congress and BJP. The party had several informal
meetings with both national parties through Sunday, they said.

The BJP's decision to lay claim to power and the GF's move to
align with the saffron group has caused disbelief among
voters who feel short-changed after the rejection of the
saffron party in the assembly election.

What rankled most with Goa Forward members too is that the
nascent local party formed only recently drew its sustenance
from its strong anti-BJP stand. Sardessai in fact often
claimed he had been a far stronger single-handed opposition
to the BJP government than the whole of the Congress
legislature wing put together.

  A former Congressman, the 47-year-old politician
  fell out with the Congress, more particularly Goa
  PCC chief Luizinho Faleiro, after being denied a
  party ticket in the 2012 election. That move,
  ironically, helped him win from Fatorda
  constituency for the first time as an independent
  in the last election. But the enmity between the
  two continued and even caused the pre-poll alliance
  between the Congress and GF to fall apart after
  Faleiro's backhand move to field a Congress
  candidate against Sardessai.

Late on Saturday night, it emerged that Parrikar was making a
concerted move to grab power. By Sunday morning, the BJP had
floated the buzz that the party's newly elected MLAs, now
down to a mere 13 to the Congress' 17 in a 40-member House,
were in favour of the defence minister's return to Goa to
take over the reins of power.

Parrikar himself lost no time in making contact with all the
non-Congress MLAs to try and shore up support. With its
numbers as low as 13 -- a loss of 8 seats from its 2012 tally
-- the BJP needs the backing of almost all the rest of the
non-Congress MLAs, which means Goa Forward, MGP, NCP and
independents who collectively hold 10 seats.

Parrikar's intentions were clear soon after the verdict
itself, when he went into a verbal contortion trying to
explain to the media why he felt the mandate was not against
the government but "individual MLAs" -- a rather curious
explanation, given that the outgoing chief minister,
Laxmikant Parsekar was himself trounced in this election.

Though Parrikar said he "accepted the verdict of the people",
he also put out the theory that the fractured mandate and the
BJP's high vote share -- with 32.5%, it polled 4% more than
the Congress -- somehow gave it a right to make a bid for
power by "working something out" with the two local parties
and the independents.

"If the party president (Amit Shah) has said that the BJP is
forming the government in the state, then definitely we are

[Goanet] TOI reports that BJP to form govt.

[Eugene Correia]

I had calculated this arithmetic. I had imagined Parrikar would be back in
Goa and work an alliance. GF would not come forward to support Congress for
the latter putting up a candidate in Fatorda, which was a blunder on the
part of Congress. Since Velingkar came back to RSS, perhaps because of
Parrikar, he must have played a role in brining MGP. Besides, the Centre
may have exercised its influence and promised something in return. Politics
is the art of the possible. Some newspapers wanted BJP to take the moral
high ground. The quest for power knows no morality. Democracy at times in
awkward ways. BJP won the popular vote, and so it can harp on it. Congress
dream has come down crashing..

*THE CAMP IS ALL ABOUT HARD WORK AND PROFESSIONALISM: CONSTANTINE*





*By Joseph Solomon,*

*AIFF Media Team*



*MUMBAI:* As the Senior National Team assembles in Mumbai for the
preparatory camp ahead of the Asian Cup Qualifiers UAE 2019, National Coach
Stephen Constantine says that he expects “hard work, commitment and
professionalism” from the boys reporting at the Camp. In a freewheeling
interview, Constantine speaks at length about the mission at the camp, his
expectations from the boys, the difference the camp will make, the crucial
match against Myanmar and much more.*EXCERPTS:*



*How does it feel to be back with the boys?*



For me these are the best moments when you are able to train with the
National Team. It’s the thing which I do best. The National Team obviously
is the mirror of a Nation’s Football and I think in these last two years we
have managed to make the Nation proud. We still have a long way to go but
our objective will be to qualify for the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019.



*What will you be stressing on in the Camp?*



Given the fact that we have not been together for quite some time the most
important thing will be how quickly we can get back to the rhythm with
regards to player understanding and our general attitude. We have to
prepare carefully for the difficult games which we to play.



*What do you expect from the boys?*



It will be the same what I expect from them every time they come to the
Camp. At the Camp its hard work, professionalism, and enthusiasm.



*How much is this preparatory Camp going to make a difference for the
International Friendly and the away match against Myanmar?*



I cannot stress enough on the importance of us having International
Friendlies before competitive games. The Hero I-League has been given a
break and I need to thank Mr. Sunando Dhar for that. This time is
absolutely vital for us. We need this support all the way throughout the
qualifiers.



*What are your thoughts on the first Group A match against Myanmar?*



One needs to be conscious that they qualified on merit for the FIFA U-20
World Cup on merit and this goes to highlight the good work which is being
done in Myanmar and the consistency that they will carry from their junior
National Team to the seniors.



Myanmar are a young squad and their German Coach has developed the boys
over the last eight years. They have shown in the recent Suzuki Cup that
they have developed into a very good side and they will be very difficult
to beat at home. For sure, it will not be an easy game, either, home or
away.



*Would we be seeing new faces in the final list?*



My policy is not to select new players just for the sake of having new
players. Players who have made their debut under me have done so because
they have shown me something and deserve to be in the squad. The policy
continues.

[Goanet] Goanet: BJP USURPING IN GOA ?

[Stephen Dias]

-

BJP USURPING POWER IN GOA





TV CHANNEL India Today broke the news that Parrikar is going to be divested
of his central portfolio as a Defence Minister of India and to be sent to
Goa to become the Chief Minister of Goa in an attempt to grab power from
the Congress who has the highest number of seats ( 17) and should be given
the first preference to form the Government in Goa.

Further India Today revealed that GFF, MGP and Independents are supporting
the BJP whose strength in assembly is only thirteen ( 13) to form the
Government in Goa if Parrikar becomes the CM.

Goa Forward party leader Vijay Sardesai fought these assembly elections on
the slogan of Goem, Goenkar and Goenkarpon. Is this his way of trying to
betray the people of Goa who repose confidence on him and thus denying the
Congress their legitimate rights of forming the Government in Goa only
because of his difference with the GPCC President Luizinho Faleiro on the
issue of forming of pre-poll alliance to contest the election jointly?

The mandate of the people of Goa is definitely to prevent the arrogant BJP
ministers from coming back to power in Goa and this move alongwith the
support that the small parties are extending to the BJP is a betrayal of
the wishes of the people wherein the outgoing CM ministerial candidate has
been defeated and that too by a large margin by a Congressman who used to
be his supporter before.

Sources revealed that MGP, GFP and Independents are allegedly in a
video conferencing with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and in a
effort to deny the Congress the first right to form a Government for which
they have got more that 10% of the seats in excess of the BJP in the
assembly elections held on 11th February 2017. It has to be mentioned here
that Subash Velingkar the founder of the GSM ( Goa Surasha Manch ) has
stated in the newspapers that his role has to defeating the BJP has been
accomplished and that the MGP which along the Shiv Sena and the MGP
succeeded in doing so, is also on the part of BJP of betrayal of the
pre-poll promises and sheer political opportunism which is not by the
people in Goa in large numbers gave them mandate through to their MGP MLA’s
which is again a betrayal of the people.

Just I received breaking news that Parrikar has resigned from the Defence
Ministry to get the position of CM in Goa and that they are likely to
approach Governor very soon with 21 numbers to stake a claim to form the
Government on Monday. Congress is still working out their strategy to form
the Government at the Mandovi Hotel right now (at 21hrs) and apparently
that Pratpsing Rane is likely to be the leader of the Congress party for CM

[Dan Driscoll]

from Dan Driscoll, in Nova Scotia Canada: Have you heard of an Artist
domiciled in Kankavli (Sindudurgh) by name Naminand Modak? He did several
things for me when I was in Goa, and a large portrait of my wife Germana
still hangs in the Betim Flat now owned by my sis-in-law Sarita Diniz.

Modak is in my view 'extraordinarily talented', for b/w etching work and
canvas (Oil/Acrylic). He does fine portrait work from photo/snapshots. His
Art Studio is in the 'bazaar-peth, Kankavli. I had him do a large portrait
of 'Fr. Amalor' (D.S. Amalorpavadass) the founder 'Acharya-guru' of Anjali
Ashram in Mysore. Modak commutes in and out of Goa on pretty regular basis.

[Goanet] Goa's New Chapter

[Gilbert Lawrence]

Results of the 2017 election in Goa are in.  In usual fashion, Goans will spend 
endless hours pontificating on what the political parties and representatives 
they elected should do in forming the executive.  Few Goans will enjoy watching 
the 'tamasha' unfold.  The Congress High Command says, "We learnt our lesson in 
2012.  No more corruption."  The local Congresswallas say, "Ha ...ha ...ha."
Yet what should the common folks do as they enter their new chapter of Goa's 
living history?  Here is advice to us from our mayor in today's paper which can 
apply to Goans.
"For real changes to occur and for progress to be sustainable, the mayor 
believes that the people have to do more for their own community.  People have 
to get involved. If you have ideas or thoughts, don't just stand out there and 
say, "No one listens to me". That's been the problems for decades and decades." 
Good news in some respects our small city has the same problems as Goa, but at 
a different level.  Our region has two casinos on the outskirts of town.  The 
mayor and county commissioner want at least one if not two more built IN THE 
city to provide jobs and bring in more tourists and their dollars.  That helps 
the twenty odd hotels and the 100 odd restaurants (and their employees) in our 
small city.

Lancelot Ribeiro (born 1933, died 2010 London) was an Indian modern artist.
According to the Independent, he is considered to have been at "the
vanguard of the influx of Indian artists to Britain."[3]

Early life[edit source]

Lancelot Ribeiro was born in 1933 to in Bombay, India accountant Joao José
Fernando Flores Ribeiro and his mother Lilia. He was the half-brother of
artist F.N. Souza. Ribeiro moved to London in 1950, living with his brother
and studying accountancy. He abandoned this career when attending life
classes at St Martin's School of Art between 1951 and 1953. He served in
the RAF in Scotland, then returned to Bombay. After working with Life
Insurance Corporation, he began working professionally as a painter in
1958.[3]

Career[edit source]

Ribeiro's creative life spanned half a century, during which time he became
known for a "huge body"[3] of figurative and abstract work. Among his
artistic productions were portrait heads, still lifes, landscapes, and
pigment experiments dating back to the early 1960s which "lead to works of
peculiar brilliance and transparency."[3]

Ribeiro died in 2010 in London.[3] In November 2016, as part of the 2017
UK-India Year of Culture, the exhibition Ribeiro: A Celebration of Life,
Love and Passion was held in association with the British Museum and other
institutions.[4]

Reception[edit source]

The British mainstream media has said:

"Lancelot Ribeiro was one of the most original Indian painters who settled
in Britain after the Second World War. Although there has been a surge of
dealer and collector interest in artists from the subcontinent, Ribeiro
remains relatively unknown compared with contemporaries such as his
half-brother FN Souza, Avinash Chandra, Balraj Khanna and Anish Kapoor." --
The Independent (London)[3]

Nicholas Treadwell remembers Ribeiro at The British Museum during 'Asian
Art in London' week, November 2016

Role of acrylics[edit source]

In a longish obituary, The Times of London acknowledges Ribeiro's role as
an "[a]cclaimed Indian artist who pioneered the use of acrylics in the
1960s, producing a brilliancy of colour in his expressionistic works".[5]
The paper talks of Ribeiro's "increasing impatience" by the 1960s over the
time it took for oils to dry, as also its "lack of brilliance in its colour
potential." He took to the new synthetic plastic bases that commercial
paints were beginning to use, and soon got help from manufacturers like
ICI, Courtaulds and Geigy. The companies supplied him samples of their
latest paints in quantities that he was using three decades later,
according to the paper. Initially, the firms thought the PVA compounds
would not be needed in commercially viable quantities. But they quickly
recognised the potential demand and "so Ribeiro became the godfather of
generations of artists using acrylics as an alternative to oils."[5]

As F.N. Souza's half-brother[edit source]

It is suggested that Ribeiro had a work in completing some of Souza's art
works:

COMMENT:

"Tinto does not mean crossroads,
Tinto means road junction, meeting of roads,
could even be one road bifurcating.
There is no Marathi word "Titha".
There's just Tithe & Ithe, meaning here and there.

Yes, he was a great player.
I had the honour of playing against him (and Silu, Hilary and Leo) when the 
Entebbe [Goan] Institute was in Nairobi for a sports visit with the RI in the 
early 70s.
I was vice-captain of the EI team, just out of university.
May God bless him for the joy he gave so many of us.

  At  one time ,  in the   1960`s, Kenya`s hockey  team  was  a power-house  on 
the world`s  sporting  stage. It  combined the  talents of  young  men  who  
initially  learned their  craft on  the playing  fields of India  and 
Pakistan.and  schools  like  St..  Stanislaus, Bombay...St. 
Joseph`s, Bangalore  and  St.Pauls  Belgaum.were incubators of  young  
talent.also  were  home  grown  goan  boys  like  Hilary  & Leo Fernandes,  
Edgar  and Egbert  of  Nairobi, Silu  Fernandes also  of Nairobi and  Sikh  
Union players   Surjeet  Singh  Jr.,  Avtar Singh.& Hardial Singh  who  
eventuallymoved  from  player  to  Manager  of  the  national  side. Also 
included were  young  men  from  the Sir  Ali  Muslim Sports club of Nairobi
  I  do  remember   while I  was  in  college  at  St.  Xaviers, Bombay  in  
1963 watching   a  touring  Kenya  national side play a series  of  
exhibition  matches  against  various combination  of  Indian national  sides  
in  preparation  for  the  Olympics in  1964.  At  the  BPHA field which was 
the  ultimate  venue in  western  Indiathe  Kenya side  surprised  the  
Bombay hockey  audience  when  they  outplayed the  Indian  side  presented to  
them.
  The popular  stands  were  filled with  a lot of  goan fans  from  the  
near-by  Dhobi  Talao  who  were  expecting a side of  African (black ) players.
  There  were comments like..."  but  these  are  Sikhs  and  Goans ".. 
 However the  fine  standard of  play , dribbling and  passing   was a delight  
to watch  including  Alu  Mendonca`s  trade  mark angling   and 
powerful   on - the - run centering to  the  inside  forwards ! 

[Goanet] On Goa Election 2017 Results

[Gilbert Lawrence]

Rajan P. Parrikar:   Goans to Manohar Parrikar: "F U"
Spending time in Goa's fetid political swamp is not my thing.  Make no mistake 
- this was a referendum on Manohar Parrikar, and Goans dealt him a kick in the 
balls (or, as we might say in our mai-bhaas, Bhonkaar Khont).
This time Goans said to themselves, since we have a choice between two 
criminally corrupt gangs, why not just go back to the original crooks;  those 
who have much more experience at screwing us.  
Don't celebrate today's result. Instead weep for what has become of our land, 
now a ghati cesspool run over by outsiders. Young Goans have very little to 
look forward to.--

GL responds:

Goa's election results are as chaotic and uncertain as Goan elections go.  A 
"hung" executive or a fractured cabinet could be a good thing if the two major 
parties rule jointly on common platform for the benefit of ALL GOANS.  Yet 
history shows, that Goan politicians and the electorate would rather go for 
divisive and corrupt politics with "buying" political support through backroom 
deals.  And Goans reward these politicians by re-electing them.
I was surprised to see Goa's former CM rewarded / re-elected from the 
enlightened Margao costituency after being entangled in the Louis Berger 
corruption / kickback case - the Japanese funded garbage disposal grant - meant 
to solve one of Goa's biggest problem.
Indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/louis-berger-bribery-case-digambar-kamat-booked-for-disappearance-of-evidence/

Goa also had the highest rate of NOTA voters in the entire country.   Can I ask 
a question: 
If one is gong to vote NOTA (none of the above) why bother to go to vote?  For 
whom is the NOTA message aimed for? - Creating another new political party?
Moving forwards, Goans need to involve themselves into internal politics of 
attending committee meetings where projects are prioritized and where more in 
achieved than write articles and gripe on Goanet.  Very likely the elected 
politicians in Panaji and Delhi are not on Goanet.
Very likely "Young Goans have very little to look forward to" and are leaving 
Goa because the middle-aged Goans (their parents) are against any progressive 
economic agenda.

Are you sure they were elected because of their religiosity or religious
identity? Do they feel any sense of responsibility when it comes to talking
up issues affecting the community (let aside all Goans)? I think we have
among our 'fold' some of the best goons in town today, and they are highly
valued by all. Please do not underrate them. FN

Re: [Goanet] On Goa Election 2017 Results

[Jim Fernandes]

I am in complete agreement with Rajan Bab.

In addition, I am willing to bet a dollar (or two) that Aires Bab will soon be 
training his gun on to the newly elected Congress-wallah's who are most likely 
to form the next puppet government.

Goans have made Indian politics into an exact science - We are basically 
swinging the pendulum from one set of crooks to another. As soon as 
horse-trading begins, the value of each MLA seat will become evident. 

Not sure why they call it horse-trading in a place where horses are not at all 
native. We should call it PIG-TRADING! I prefer to call them pigs - not horses.

Cheers,

Looks like Bharara was fired by Trump to obstruct justice. Please see
this tweet from prior White House ethics advisor, Norman Eisen:
