Amiens (Somme) - Musée de Picardie - "La Lutte de l'homme contre la femme" dit aussi "Hercule contre les Amazones" (Emile Bernard, Lille, 1868 - Paris, 1941)
Huile sur toile, 1927
Cette oeuvre énigmatique est emblématique du retour au classicisme qu'Emile Bernard effectue au début du XXe siècle, après s'être illustré aux côtés de Gauguin et des Nabis dans les années 1880-1890.
Dans une lettre de 1927, Bernard confesse les difficultés qu'il rencontre dans la réalisation de ce tableau.
La composition complexe, où s'enchevêtrent les corps dans une lutte sans merci, traduit encore les préoccupations qui avaient été les siennes dans la réalisation du "Cycle humain", ensemble de toiles monumentales peintes de 1921 à 1926.
Cette scène violente et saturée est exceptionnelle dans son oeuvre d'ordinaire apaisé.
Au-delà du thème de la guerre des sexes, l'artiste, en butte à l'incompréhension de la société, s'incarne ici dans le héros viril qui affronte l'hostilité d'une marée humaine qui ne manquera pas de l'engloutir.

The Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite takes us over northern Brazil on 22 August 2017, where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The sediment-laden water appears brown as it flows from the lower left to the open ocean in the upper right. ‘Popcorn’ clouds are visible in parts of the image – a common occurrence during the Amazon’s dry season, formed by condensed water vapour released by plants and trees during the sunny day.
The land varies in colour from the deep green of dense vegetation to light brown. Taking a closer look to the upper-left section of the image, we can see large brown areas where the vegetation has already been cleared away. Geometric shapes indicate agricultural fields, and linear roads cut through the remaining dense vegetation.
Rainforests worldwide are being destroyed at an alarming rate. This is of great concern because they play an important role in global climate, and are home to a wide variety of plants, animals and insects. More than a third of all species in the world live in the Amazon Rainforest.
Unlike other forests, rainforests have difficulty regrowing after they are destroyed and, owing to their composition, their soils are not suitable for long-term agricultural use.
With their unique view from space, Earth observation satellites have been instrumental in highlighting the vulnerability of the rainforests by documenting the scale of deforestation.

Here is the full diorama of all four Amazon builds created for mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration!
First of all: Be sure to check out the Full Video of this build! This includes Bartu's masterful compositions, which is how this collaboration really comes alive! Don't miss it! :D
Hope you've enjoyed this collaboration! It has been quite a different one, working in two separate mediums, but I really want to thank Bartu for initiating this! It's been a very fun, interesting and intense month! Thanks!
One last thing: You seriously need to check out the VIDEO result of this collab to see how the music and lego builds work together. If not, you will just be seeing half of it :)

The Rivian EDV (Electric Delivery Van) was developed together with Amazon. The company ordered 100,000 of these vans to be delivered until 2030. The first ones were on the road in 2021 in the USA. In 2023 Germany was the first country in Europe to get these Rivian vans.

Subject to availability. The Amazon rainforest, or at least what's left of it, generates a large part of the oxygen that you breathe. A few decades back, these photos would've been dark green.
Nur solange Vorrat reicht. Der Regenwald im Amazonasbecken, oder zumindest das, was davon übrig ist, erzeugt ein Großteil des Sauerstoffes, den wir alle atmen. Vor ein paar Jahrzehnten wären diese Fotos noch dunkelgrün gewesen.

I promised myself that I would get fresh flowers for the table. Winter is not very colorful here in the southwest, so this I think makes it a bit cheerier. The Amazon's were delighted and have never seen flowers before. Of course went right for the white roses!

The fourth and last installment of mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration - Regrowth :)
Of all four builds I found this to be the hardest. Not in terms of time and effort, but in striking a balance. The idea is to show nature reclaiming land that has been misused, showing that nature has the strength to recover. At the same time, I didn't want to show it too overgrown, as nature needs time, lots of time, to grow back. I also wanted it to be clear that this was a new forest in the making.
As such, there had to be enough vegetation to show that nature was taking over, but not so much that the signs of human interference were lost in the build. I'm not confident that I got all the way there, but it was a good try hopefully :)
Not much in terms of innovation in this build. Basically a lot of the same things that I used in the third build, but broken and covered.
Hope you enjoyed the build! I think it's one of those that could be improved quite a bit on hindsight, but I think it still turned out ok :)

The third installment in mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration: Destruction.
There are many threats to the Amazon forest, one of them being small illegal gold mines that both destroys and poisons the forest by ruining the soil and dumping mercury waste. This build portrays such a mine.
This is a more somber theme than the previous two, as is the intention. Colors are more muted, with more olive and dark green. The dark tan ground is mostly exposed with vegetation struggling.
The whole setup is very makeshift and temporary, and nothing here is made to last. People are here to get what they can and then move on, giving no care to what state they leave things in. I tried to portray this by making things rather messy and cluttered.
One of the things I was pondering for a while was the inclusion of minifigs in the build. I've had many interesting conversations on whether it would be wise to include them or not. It was important for the build that the issues were not trivialized by making it childish or less natural. With a medium that is often seen as a toy this can sometimes be tricky. For this purpose I went with flesh heads rather than yellow ones, and made sure to avoid any polarizing facial expressions, like the standard "bad guy" faces.
Though certainly not innocent, the workers are not the main culprits in this, but rather other people who are far away from what is actually happening, bear the biggest blame. Often these people who are the main cause of this are not even found in South America, but may reside in Europe, Asia or North America, and this was something that was unfortunately not possible to portray in this build.
When it comes to Lego techniques, much of the focus here was on the man-made parts, which I don't build that often. The nature is not really something new, but I do like the staggered wedge plates technique for a varied incline.
On his side, Bartu created some fantastic sounds, made by on his violin, mimicking the sounds of ongoing destruction of the forest.
Hope you like the build, and that you feel this issue has been properly portrayed.

Yesterday I went to an Amazon Hub to return an impulse buy that I turned out not to want and found what looked like a little town of Amazon. There were trucks rolling in and out, rows and rows of parked trucks and a huge building that was all Amazon. It was amazing and looked as if Amazon could take over the country. Maybe it should.
