RIP Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

“As a medical educator, therapist, and teacher, she enabled many thousands of physicians to find individual meaning and purpose in the practice of medicine and thousands of patients to remember their power to heal.”

I read her books early in my career, and in them saw how physicians can be storytellers, and how the art of storytelling makes us better physicians. I never had the opportunity to meet her, but some of my mentors did and told me how she changed (and saved) their lives

She truly influenced our profession for the better. She was saving lives from #burnout before it was a buzzword

Un des plus grands n’est plus

David Hockney est décédé le 11 juin 2026

English version : click here

Il y a des tas d’expositions nouvelles en ce moment, partout. Et tous les jours, il y en a d’autres qui s’ouvrent. Je ne sais pas où donner de la tête, ni des doigts.
Mais aujourd’hui, il faut que tout cela attende, que tout s’écarte. Un grand, un géant de l’art est mort hier, et comme tant d’autres, je ne peux m’empêcher d’y aller, moi aussi, de mon ode à David Hockney (1937-2026).

On connaît son histoire. Né à Bradford, dans le nord industriel de l’Angleterre, dans une famille ouvrière, David Hockney découvre très jeune son talent et très jeune aussi, il reçoit une formation au dessin. Plus tard, il descend à Londres, où il peut poursuivre ses études au prestigieux Royal College of Art. Le succès vient très vite. Ensuite, il s’envole pour New York, plus tard pour la Californie. C’est là que, ébloui par la lumière et les couleurs, il fait ses fameuses peintures de piscines (comme le célèbre « A Bigger Splash »). Et pendant des années durant, il fera plus ou moins la navette entre la lumineuse Californie, son Yorkshire natal et, plus tard, la Normandie, où il passera en tout cas le temps de la pandémie, et où il fait une de ses plus belles fresques, exposée à la Fondation Louis Vuitton en 2025.

https://youtu.be/KyiByo5yMR8?si=fDmDxtOu2sHUAE-7

J’ai écrit déjà plusieurs fois sur Hockney et certaines de ses expositions (au Van Gogh Museum, au musée Teylers, et à d’autres endroits encore). Et à chaque fois j’étais éblouie, soufflée, par ses couleurs, sa vitalité, et sa capacité de se réinventer à chaque fois. Hockney n’hésitait pas à explorer, puis à embrasser et à perfectionner de nouvelles techniques, la photo, l’i-pad, la vidéo, ou des combinaisons de tout cela, et à chaque fois, il nous coupait le souffle. Il fallait du courage, car au départ, le monde artistique n’appréciait pas forcément ces «mélanges» entre informatique et peinture. Mais Hockney n’avait pas froid aux yeux, et il l’a montré aussi en affirmant que les peintres d’antan se servaient d’instruments (d’optique, de mesure) pour établir la perspective. Sacrilège! Mais Hockney tenait bon, il en a fait la démonstration dans ses oeuvres à lui – et il avait probablement raison.

Son oeuvre reste, et c’est formidable. Qu’il s’agisse de paysages, de portraits, d’« instantanés » (comme la trace de la plongeon dans la piscine), de dessins au fusain, de peinture sur i-pad ou de vidéos, la virtuosité de Hockney est immense. Et son oeuvre nous reste. Alors, autant on est triste que ce grand artiste nous ait quittés, autant on peut se réjouir de pouvoir, encore et encore, admirer cette oeuvre.

Pour en savoir plus: regardez A Bigger Picture, documentaire de Bruno Wollheim (2010). Vous pouvez le voir en ligne ici (pour le voir en entier, il faut payer), ou vous pouvez regarder 80 films courts fait pour les 80 ans de David Hockney.

Death of a giant

David Hockney (b. 1937) died on June 11, 2026.

There are many new exhibitions to write about, and I started doing just that. But today, everything has to wait. Today – like so many others – I have to commemorate David Hockney (1937-2026). He is one of the contemporary artists I admire most, and I am not the only one. I have written about several of his exhibitions (among others in the Van Gogh Museum, or in Teylers Museum).

Born in the industrial city of Bradford in a working class family, his talent was discovered when he was still very young, and he had drawing lessons from a very young age, too. Later, he went to London where he was admitted to the Royal College of Art. There, his talent was noticed as well, not only by his teachers and other students, but also by galleries and art merchants. Success came pretty soon. Hockney certainly was not one of those artists whose recognition comes only after their death, or late in life. Right away, his work sold well – which permitted him to travel and to live comfortable. He went to New York, then to California, where he was as smitten by the light and colours as Van Gogh was in Provence. It was in California that he made his famous swimming pool paintings, among which ‘‘A Bigger Splash’’.

Yet Hockney didn’t forget the Yorkshire of his youth, and he returned there regularly, even for longer periods. There he made – among many other works – his famous ‘‘Spring’’ series, and it was also there he started working with new techniques. I remember his earliest i-pad ‘‘paintings’’, one of which represented rain – like a video, except that it wasn’t a video. Hockney was probably the first painter to embrace those new techniques – and to incorporate them in his paintings. He was quite brave in that respect, for in the beginning his use of the i-pad was frowned upon in certain circles. ‘‘Painting’’ with an instrument like that wasn’t serious! In the same way, Hockney proclaimed that painters in earlier centuries used instruments to establish the perspective in their pictures. Sacrilege! It couldn’t be… But he was probably right – and he showed it in his own work.

https://youtu.be/g0-yI_Ph0aE

It was also on his i-pad – perfected by himself – that he made his ‘‘Normandy’’ series. He stayed in his house in Normandy during the pandemic, and each and every day he painted the landscape, that changed with the weather and the seasons – like the landscape he portrayed in Yorkshire. A combination of hundreds of these small pictures and a gigantic ‘‘fresco’’ was shown (among other places) in 2025 in the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.

Few artists are or were so inventive and prolific as Hockney. He probably was creative and busy till his last moments. In a way, his death makes us orphans. But fortunately, there is his work, which we can see and admire time and time again. In that sense, artists are never really gone.

Interesting: A Bigger Picture, documentary by Bruno Wollheim (2010). You can watch it online here (to watch the whole film, you have to pay), or you can watch 80 short films made for David Hockney’s 80th birthday.

Back To Top – Retour en haut

I liked most of the first season of #Obituary but lost all interest early in season 2.

#Sweetpea seemed to have potential, but it became clear in episode 1 that both shows are so similar I have to accuse Obituary of blatant theft from Sweetpea's source material, a series of books first published years before Obituary was released.

Character type, exact same work environment, and general tone are identical.

I won't bother with either.

At One True Podcast we were sad to hear of the death of Patrick Hemingway, the middle son of Ernest, who died on September 2, 2025. Patrick Hemingway (1928-2025) lived a life that was truly Hemingwayesque: traveling like his father, living much of his life in Africa, hunting and fishing, and determined to maintain the legacy of his father’s literary work. 

We invited Sandra Spanier, General Editor of the Hemingway Letters Project, to share her memories of Patrick, including his contributions to the Letters Project, her visits with him, and a poignant interview with Patrick that was conducted just a few months ago. Our episode closes with a soundbite from that June 2025 interview.

We hope you enjoy this immediate reaction to the sad news of Patrick’s passing.

Clairvoyance – Chasm of Immurement Review

By Maddog

Yes, I picked this up entirely because of its cover. Girardi’s gorgeous spiral of tombstones and skeletons conjures vintage highbrow death metal of the likes of Death. The title Chasm of Immurement grasps at brutal badassery in the vein of Suffocation’s Effigy of the Forgotten. Clairvoyance’s logo remains indecipherable even if you know the band’s name, suggesting kvltness galore. The promo materials describe lyrics that address the isolating effects of depression, foreshadowing a harrowing listen. In isolation, each of these judgments strikes at the truth but glances off. Chasm of Immurement is the debut album from Poland’s Clairvoyance, an unknown band comprising unknown musicians. Lying at the intersection of brainless death-doom and brainiac digressions, Chasm of Immurement is a powerful foray into death metal.

A first pass through Chasm of Immurement suggests primitive death metal with a dollop of doom. “Eternal Blaze” opens the album with a bang that recalls Faceless Burial’s Speciation. After grabbing me by the anus, Clairvoyance maintains its hold by alternating between mid-range Obituary riffs and lurching Autopsy-style death-doom. These lowbrow highlights feel both as slimy and evolved as an amoeba. With both its riffs and its guitar tone, Chasm of Immurement leaves a palpable layer of grime that justifies multiple colonoscopies. “Blood Divine” emerges as a late gem through riffs that are gory enough to draw blood and enormous enough to evoke Immolation. This isn’t isolated to a subset of the tracks; throughout its runtime, Chasm of Immurement alternates between a sixteen-wheeler and a used minivan without dulling its fun.

On your fifth listen, Clairvoyance’s experimental bent comes into view. The same doomy riffs you’d heard before reveal spooky foreground melodies (“Reign of Silence”). The same track that you’d interpreted as a caveman ditty blossoms in baffling melodic directions in its second half (“Eternal Blaze”). The same song that introduced itself as by-the-books death metal culminates in a monstrous doomy climax (“Fleshmachine”). The same sections that you’d dismissed as repetitive transform into home bases for grimy excursions, interfering with your sleep schedule and your family obligations. Adorning hefty riffs with sinister melodies, Clairvoyance recalls both Lovecraft’s Azathoth and Morbid Angel’s Trey Azagthoth. It took me a while to realize that I was doing Chasm of Immurement an injustice by pigeonholing it into old-school death metal. It is indeed that, but it’s so much more.

Clairvoyance’s varying ambitions both empower and dilute each other. Spanning 34 minutes across 6 tracks, Chasm of Immurement is a concise collection of lengthy tracks. Some of its pieces wander, especially at their simplest. For instance, despite being the second shortest track, “Blood Divine” feels lengthy because of its dearth of creative ideas. Similarly, the shortest song, “Eternal Blaze,” suffers from riffwork that’s decent but unimaginative, before eventually redeeming itself with more variety. Even so, these flubs are rare. The six-minute “Hymn of the Befouled” is the starkest counterexample, balancing length with girth by combining a vicious off-kilter main riff with melodic escapades that hold me rapt. Parts of Chasm of Immurement could do a better job of remaining engaging, but it’s hardly a fatal flaw.

Balancing thoughtful death metal and anti-intellectual death-doom, Clairvoyance’s debut is as weird as it is powerful. Neanderthals who need their fix should look here, as Chasm of Immurement’s crushing death metal riffs rival the best of old-school death metal. Conversely, fans of Morbid Angel’s wonkiness or Tomb Mold’s shapeshifting shenanigans will find just as much to love here. Chasm of Immurement is unlikely to dethrone Faithxtractor’s Loathing and the Noose atop my 2025 death metal ranking, as its occasional meandering loses my interest. But it’s a promising debut from a crew of talented Polish fiends.
