Lehrsysteme Trivium und Quadrivium – Die sieben freien Künste

Die klassischen sieben freien Künste beinhalten zwei logisch aufgebaute Lehrsysteme:
1. das grundlegende dreistufige Trivium und
2. das fortgeschrittene vierstufige Quadrivium.

Im Altertum waren die Sklaven zuständig für Handarbeit und Handwerk. Eine Ausbildung, die auf Buchwissen basierte, wurde ihnen verwehrt. Bildung war nur freien schreib- und lesekundigen Bürgern zugänglich.
Merke: Das Wort 'frei' wird abgeleitet vom lateinischen Wort 'liber', das Buch heißt.

Trivium (Dreiweg) – Sprache

Das Trivium ist ein inklusives Lehrsystem, das vorwiegend von dem
griechischen Philosophen Aristoteles entwickelt wurde.
Die Reihenfolge der Lernschritte einzuhalten, ist essentiell. Unordnung verzerrt die Wahrheitserkennung.

Zitate zum Thema Kunst / Art

Zitate allgemein

Persönliche Bekenntnisse

Ich kenne noch keine bessere Definition für das Wort Kunst als diese: Die Kunst, das ist der Mensch hinzugefügt zur Natur, die er entbindet, die Wirklichkeit, die Wahrheit und doch mit einer Bedeutsamkeit, die der Künstler darin zum Ausdruck bringt. Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) postimpressionistischer niederländischer Maler, Zeichner, Begründer der modernen Malerei, 1879; zitiert in: Vincent van Gogh, präsentiert von der Webseite kunstzitate.de

Picassos geschickt kaschierter Blubartkomplex

Pablos Fülle an Geschichten und Erinnerungen an Olga, Marie-Thérèse und Dora Maar sowie ihre unverminderte Präsenz auf dem Nebenschauplatz unseres gemeinsamen Lebens ließen mich allmählich erkennen, dass er eine Art von Blaubartkomplex hatte, der ihn veranlasste, allen Frauen – die Sammelstücke in seinem kleinen Privatmuseum waren – den Kopf abschneiden zu wollen. Allerdings hat er die Köpfe nicht vollständig abgeschnitten. Er zog es vor, sein Leben fortzusetzen und alle Frauen, die zeitweilig ihr Leben mit ihm geteilt hatten, dazu zu bewegen, leise Gluck-
ser, ob Freuden- oder Schmerzensschreie, auszustoßen und wie zerlumpte Puppen ein paar Gesten zu machen, nur um zu beweisen, dass in ihnen noch ein Lebensrest vorhanden war, der an einem Faden hing, dessen anderes Ende
er in Händen hielt. Selbst wenn seine Gefühle für diese oder jene Verflossene erloschen waren, konnte er die Vor-
stellung nicht ertragen, dass eine seiner Frauen jemals wieder ein eigenes Leben führen könne. Daher musste sich jede Frau durch den geringfügigsten Aufwand seinerseits innerhalb seiner Umlaufbahn und nicht außerhalb davon bewegen. Als ich darüber nachdachte, wurde mir klar, dass Pablos Leben wie ein unentwegter Stierkampf verlief.
Pablo war der Stierkämpfer, der das rote Tuch, die Muleta, schwenkte. Für einen Bilderhändler war die Muleta ein anderer Bilderhändler, für eine Frau war es eine andere Frau. Das hatte zur Folge, dass die jeweilige Person in der Rolle des Stiers ihre Hörner in das rote Tuch stieß, statt den echten Gegner – Pablo – aufzufressen. Deshalb war
Pablo immer im entscheidenden Moment in der Lage, seinen Dolch frei zu führen, um dich dort zu treffen, wo es wehtat. Ich wurde sehr misstrauisch gegenüber dieser Taktik, und jedes Mal, wenn ein großes rotes Tuch in mei-
ner Nähe auftauchte, schaute ich auf dessen Rückseite, wo sich stets Pablo befand.

Schlussfolgerungen

Die Kunst ist eine Vermittlerin des Unaussprechlichen; darum scheint es eine Torheit, sie wieder durch Worte vermitteln zu wollen. Doch indem wir uns dahin bemühen, findet sich für den Verstand so mancher Gewinn, der
dem ausübenden Vermögen auch wieder zugute kommt.

Schrift Minima Moralia, S. 298, Suhrkamp, Frankfurt am Main, 1951, 1969, 1970

Wir wissen alle, dass Kunst nicht Wahrheit ist. Kunst ist eine Lüge, die uns die Wahrheit begreifen lehrt, we-
nigstens die Wahrheit, die wir als Menschen begreifen können. Der Künstler muss wissen, auf welche Art er die anderen von der Wahrhaftigkeit seiner Lügen überzeugen kann. ⚡ Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) spanischer Maler,
Grafiker, Bildhauer, zitiert in: Interview mit der Zeitschrift "The Arts", New York City, 1923

Kunst wird erst dann interessant, wenn wir vor irgendetwas stehen, das wir nicht gleich restlos erklären können.

Redekunst

Es gibt drei Arten, die Hawkins.Wahrheit zu überbringen, mit
1. Ethos,
2. Logos, und
3. Pathos.

Aristoteles' Ansatz berücksichtigt die ethische Haltung des Sprechers sowie dessen Logik und Dialektik und zuguterletzt den Entwicklungsstand der Empfänger. Alle drei sind in Betracht zu ziehen. Wenn man versäumt zu bedenken, auf welchem Niveau sich die Menschen befinden, fällt man beim Publikum durch. Die Botschaft kommt nicht an. Man muss ein Thema so kontextualisieren, dass es verständlich und annehmbar ist.
⚡ Dr. David R. Hawkins, Sedona Seminar Emotions and Sensations, 3 DVD-Set, 17. April 2004

Jeder Versuch, Picasso zu verstehen, bleibt hoffnungslos, wenn wir nicht davon ausgehen, dass er niemals einen Menschen so nah an sich heranließ, dass dieser hätte erahnen können, welch immense Angst in ihm lauerte. Eine seiner beachtlichsten Leistungen während der mehr als neunzig Jahre seines Lebens bestand darin, diese große innere Angst so weit zu beherrschen, dass sie ihn zum Arbeiten anregte – und wie er arbeitete! Arbeit war sein Zaubertrank gegen die Angst. Norman Mailer (1923-2007) US-amerikanischer Journalist, Filmemacher, Schauspieler, Schriftsteller, Picasso, S. 219, Piper Verlag, München, 1998

General quotes

Personal avowals

People like me really should not be ill. I would like to make it perfectly clear to you how I look at art. To get to the essence of things one must work long and hard.
What I want and have as my aim is infernally difficult to achieve, and yet I don't think I am raising my sights too high.
I want to make drawings that touch some people.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch post-Impressionist painter, Letter to Theo van Gogh, The Hague, 21. July 1882

Georgia O'Keeffe, "Red Canna", 1924

The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch post-Impressionist painter, cited in:
Fritz Erpel, The Self-portraits, S. 17, 1969

I paint as I see and as I feel – and I have very strong sensations. The others, too, feel und see as I do, but they don't dare […] they produce Salon paintings […] I, myself, I dare […] I have the courage of my opinions […] and he laughs best who laughs last.
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) French painter, Michael Doran, editor, Conversations with Cezanne, S. 195, University of California Press, Editions Macula, 2001

I found that I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way things that I had no words for.
Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) US American woman artist, Foreword to an exhibition catalog An American Place, 15. November 1887-6. March 1986

I believe that magic is art, and that art, whether that be music, writing, sculpture, or any other form, is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness [...]. Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist
or a writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to the shaman.
Alan Moore (*1953) English occultist, ceremonial magician, anarchist, writer of graphic novels, transcript On Magic, posted by gbowdeniv, 12. March 2017

Authentic writing

And eventually, and that’s the thing about the artist’s unconscious, eventually, you break through to a place where you're neither male nor female, not black, white, red, brown or yellow; you're not Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, or Sikh, you're not Vietnamese, or American, or Albanian, or Serbian. You're human. And if you write from that authenticity, then you can draw those truths up through vessels, character vessels, quite differently from yourself.
Robert Olen Butler (*1945) US American fiction writer, Pulitzer Prize recipient, 1993, story collection A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain. Stories, Henry Holt, 1992, Grove Press, 5. April 2001

[G]o into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making
life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Originality fetish

A writer does not own words any more than a painter owns colors. So lets dispense with this originality fetish. […] Look, listen, and transcribe, and forget about being original.
⚡ William S. Burroughs (1914-1997) US American spoken word performer, pedophile, poet, postmodern essayist, novelist, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

Calls to action

Every touch should thrill. Every man should be so much an artist that he could report in conversation what had befallen him. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) US American philosopher, Unitarian, lecturer, poet, essayist, Essays. Second Series, The Poet, written 1841-1843, 1844

This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.
I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge – even wisdom.

Future prospects

When the infinite servitude of women shall have ended, she will be able to live by and for herself; man – hitherto abominable – will give her her freedom, and she too will be a poet. Women will discover the unknown. Will her
world be different from ours [men's]? She will discover strange, unfathomable things – repulsive, delicious. We
shall take [confiscate] them. We shall understand them.
Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) French poet influential on modern literature and arts (surrealism), letter, written 15. May 1871

Poetry can break open locked chambers of possibility, restore numbed zones to feeling, recharge desire. […] I have never believed that poetry is an escape from history, and I do not think it is more, or less, necessary than food, shelter, health, education, decent working conditions. It is as necessary. […] Where every public decision has to be justified in the scales of corporate profits, poetry unsettles these apparently self-evident propositions – not through ideology, but
by its very presence and ways of being, its embodiment of states of longing and desire. […] We see despair when social arrogance and indifference exist in the same person with the willingness to live at devastating levels of super-
ficiality and self-trivialization. […] Despair, when not the response to absolute physical and moral defeat, is, like war,
the failure of imagination. Foreword written by Adrienne Rich (1929-2012) US American visiting professor of creative writing,
feminist, poet, essayist, cited in: William Carlos Williams, US American poet, Asphodel, That Greeny Flower, poem, 1993

Conclusion

It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man.
Loren Eiseley (1907-1977) US American anthropologist, ecologist, poet, science writer, The Night Country, S. 208, Scribner,
New York, 1971, University of Nebraska Press, pocket book issue 1. June 1997

Insights

He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.

Quote is frequently mis-attributed to the Italian Catholic saint St Francis of Assisi (1181/82-1226)

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense – he is "collective man" – a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind. That is his office, and it is sometimes so heavy a burden that he is fated to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of analytical depth psychology, author, Modern Man in Search of a Soul, Trench, Trübner and Company, 1933, S. 173, Harcourt Harvest, 5th edition 4.

While their methods differ radically, artists and physicists share the desire to investigate the ways the interlocking pieces of reality fit together. This is the common ground upon which they meet. […]

Revolutionary art anticipates visionary physics. When the vision of the revolutionary artist, rooted in the Dionysian
right hemisphere, combines with precognition, art will prophesy the future conception of reality.

The artist is the true seer and prophet of his century, the justifier of life and as such, of course, a revolutionary far more fundamental in his penetration of the social mask of his day than any fanatic idealist spilling blood over the pavement

An artist is a creature driven by demons.
He don’t know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.

- Art is not a mirror to hold up to society, but a hammer with which to shape it.
  Attributed to Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) German theatre director, playwright, poet, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique.
All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up.

Connecting the dots

Big picture thinking

Artists are those people who have the ability to make new and unique connections between apparently unrelated things, people who can step outside of their own field of experience, and are able to describe the experience of the whole. They are able not only fill the viewer with the artist's vision, but fill them with a vision of their own.

Nowhere would anyone grant that science and poetry can be united. They forgot that science arose from poetry,

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

History: a chain of stories

Art seeks to abstract this awareness when it takes one moment in time and freezes it in photographic art or sculpture. Each stop frame depicts the perfection that can be appreciated only when a single view is isolated from the distortion of the superimposed story. The drama of every moment of existence lends itself to preservation when art saves it from the extinction of transformation of material form called history. The innocence intrinsic to any given moment is apparent when that moment is taken out of the context projected onto a sequence of selected moments that then become a 'story'. Once converted into a story by the dualistic mind, the terms 'good' or 'bad' are then applied. One can readily
see that even the terms 'good' or 'bad' refer in their origination to what is really merely human desire. If something is desired, it becomes a 'good', and if undesired, it becomes a 'bad'. If human judgmentalism is removed from obser-
vation, all that can be seen is that form is in constant evolution as 'change', which is neither intrinsically desirable nor undesirable. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Hay House, February 2002

There is no art without love. Art is always the making of the soul, the craft of man's touch, whether that touch is corporeal or the touch of the mind and spirit; so it has been since Neanderthal times, and so it will always be. Thus we find that computer-generated art and even great photographs never calibrate as highly as original paintings. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. 77, Hay House, February 2002

Art of lecturing

There are three ways of presenting truth:
1. Ethos,
2. logos,
3. pathos.

Aristotle's approach, considers the ethic standing of the speaker, the logic and dialectic of the speaker, and lastly the standing of the listener/s. You have to consider all three. The failure to take into consideration where the audience is a means that you fall flat. It's not getting across. You have to contextualize a thing so that it's comprehensible and acceptable.

Teaching systems Trivium and Quadrivium – Questioning in proper sequence

The classical seven liberal arts comprise two logically built teaching systems:
1. the basic Trivium (the three ways) followed by
2. the advanced Quadrivium (the four ways).

The liberal arts are based on abstract book knowledge. In ancient times illiterate slaves were meant for
handwork and denied literacy based education. Only free citizens were given access to education.
Note: 'Free' as in 'liberal' stems from the Latin word 'liber', which means book.

Trivium (Three roads crossing) – Language

The Trivium is an inclusive basic teaching system which was
primarily developed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle.
The proper sequence is essential as dis-order will distort the recognition of truth.

3.	Rhetoric	Teaching	Wisdom Insight	OUTPUT	TEACHING	Reviewing-explaining the building process	How?	Calling	Com- passion

Those who know, do. Those who understand, teach.
Aristotle (384-322 BC) classical Greek pre-Christian philosopher, physician, scientist, misogynist, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

Quadrivium (Four roads crossing) – Numbers

The Quadrivium is an inclusive advanced teaching system which was
primarily developed by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras.
The proper sequence is essential as dis-order will distort the recognition of truth.

"In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions,
no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened."

Abusive artist Pablo Picasso

The Spanish painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso, an avowed atheist, was a borderline psychopath
who regularly abused his wives and mistresses for the most part of his life.
Post mortem Picasso's reputation as an artist is handled by art owners, museums,
and curators all of whom profit from the ongoing and growing legend on Picasso.

1st mistress	Fernande Olivier	Dumped with no money at all
2nd mistress	Marcelle Humbert	Died of tuberculosis
1st wife	Olga Khokhlova	Cheated on, filed for divorce, no money
3rd·(minor)·mistress	Marie-Thérèse·Walter	Committed suicide
4th mistress	Dora Maar[*]	Dumped, parttime stay in an asylum, turned to God
5th mistress	Françoise Gilot¹	Only mistress to leave Picasso
2nd wife	Jacqueline Roque	Committed suicide

[*]Dora Maar to Pablo Picasso: As an artist you may be extraordinary, but morally speaking you are worthless. 2
Relinquished Dora Maar to a proposal of marriage by Paul Eluards: After Picasso, only God. Dora Maar (1907-1997) French-Croatian Argentinian-raised photographer, Pablo Picasso's muse (1936-1944) painter, poet, Picasso's mistress (1937-1943), 3, 2014

The Weeping Woman, 1937
Artist Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso about Dora Maar: For me she's the weeping woman. For years I've painted her in tortured forms, not through sadism, and not with pleasure, either; just obeying a vision that forced itself on me. It was the deep reality, not the superficial one. […] Dora, for me, was always a weeping woman [...]. And it's important, because women are suffering machines. ⚡ Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Spanish painter, graphic artist, sculptor, 2, 2012

Pablo Picasso's (aged 61) warning to Françoise Gilot (aged 21) after they had embarked on their affair: "For me there are only two kinds of women: goddesses and doormats." ⚡ Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Spanish painter, graphic artist, sculptor, 4, 2017

Marina Picasso about her grandfather Pablo Picasso: "He submitted them [his women] to his animal sexuality, tamed them, bewitched them, ingested them, and crushed them onto his canvas. After he had spent many nights extracting their essence, once they were bled dry, he would dispose of them." Marina Picasso (*1950), Picasso's granddaughter, 4, 2017

Patrick O'Brian on Pablo Picasso: Picasso's feeling for women oscillated between extreme tenderness on the one hand and violent hatred on the other, the mid-point being dislike – if not contempt.
Patrick O'Brian (1914-2000) English translator, novelist, 2, 2012

Picasso was a sadist who abused his women – wives, lovers and muses alike; beating one until she was unconscious
and taking pleasure in holding a lighting candle to the face of another. Promiscuous all his adult life, Picasso viewed
women as sexual objects there to meet his sexual needs.
He wooed them, adored them and abused them in turn and, when he tired of them, discarded them cruelly. Much of
his life's work focussed on sexual themes such as voyeurism, prostitution, impotence and sexual violence. 1, 2007

He [Picasso] brought to painting the vision of disintegration that Schoenberg and Bartok brought to music, Kafka and Beckett to literature. He took to its ultimate conclusion the negative vision of the modernist world. Epilogue of 5, 1988

Picasso's well hidden Bluebeard complex

Bluebeard woodcut by Gustave Doré, Les Contes
de Perrault, S. 56, Jules Hetzel, Paris, 1862 Pablo's many stories and reminiscences about Olga, Marie-Thérèse and Dora Maar, as well as their continuing presence just off stage in our life together, gradually made me realize that he had a kind of Bluebeard complex that made him want to cut off the heads of all the women he had collected in his little private museum. But he didn't cut the heads entirely off. He preferred to have life go on and to have all those women who had shared his life at one moment or another still letting out little peeps and cries of joy or pain and making a few gestures like disjointed dolls, just to prove there was some life left in them, that it hung by a
thread, and that he held the other end of the thread. Even though he no longer had any feeling for this one or that one, he could not bear the
idea that any of his women should ever again have a life of her own. And so each had to be maintained, with the minimum gift of himself,
inside his orbit and not outside. As I thought about it, I realized that in Pablo's life things went on just about the way they do in a bullfight. Pablo was the toreador and he waved the red flag, the muleta. For a picture dealer, the muleta was another picture dealer; for a woman, another woman. The result was, the person playing the bull stuck his horns into
the red flag instead of goring the real adversary – Pablo. And that is why Pablo was always able, at the right moment, to have his sword free to
stick you where it hurt. I came to be very suspicious of this tactic and any time I saw a big red flag waiving around me,
I would look to one side of it. There, I always found Pablo. Françoise Gilot (*1921) French painter, critic, author, Carlton Lake,
co-author, memoir Life with Picasso, S. 242-243, Virago, Trade Paperback edition 15. November 1990

Genius extracts a high price from those around it.
"His [Picasso] brilliant oeuvre demanded human sacrifices. He drove everyone who got near him to despair and engulfed them. No one in my family ever managed to escape from the stranglehold of this genius. He needed blood to sign each of his paintings: my father's blood, my brother's, my mother's, my grandmother's and mine. He needed the blood of those who loved him – people who thought they loved a human being, whereas they really loved Picasso. […]
He [Picasso] submitted them to his animal sexuality, tamed them, bewitched them, ingested them and crushed them onto his canvas. After he had spent many nights extracting their essence, once they were bled dry, he would dispose of them. […]
Either people are strong enough to walk away, or they crystallize around the genius and suffer one or two generations of destruction. It's what happened to us. When I was a child I could not see that. Today, in the same situation, if I were strong enough, I would run away. I'd prefer to become a hippie." 6, Marina Picasso, 2001

Message intertwined with messenger
Like everyone else in her surroundings Californian teacher of energy healing Rosalyn Bruyere was taken with
Picasso's paintings. When she found out that the Spanish painter was a full blown domestic abuser her relationship
with this painter and his work was shattered. During his adult life Picasso had beaten all his wives and mistresses to
let off steam. Following that he practiced his various art styles. Bruyere took a second deeper look at Picasso's art
work and noticed that she did not approve of his displaced depictions of women any longer.

"People who think an artist and his work can be separated have been trained not to look below the surface. It's much
more interesting to look behind the curtain at the reality of an artist's career rather than remain focused by the careful facade."

Readers' comments, presented by Goodreads
As a lover of art, I was fascinated by Picasso's life, that is, until I read it and realized he was a profound monster who hated women as well as any other artist who dared cross his path. Unforunately, I'll never look at his work again without it being overshadowed by his attempt to destroy the lives of every person he came in contact. Particularly horrific was how he allowed one of his best friends to die in a concentration camp rather than sign a letter to free him. Jennifer Miller, 10. February 2011

I like Picasso the man less now than I previously did and it has made me see his art in a different context.
Sara Murphy, 17. September 2015

Despite being the son of an art teacher, I never had much interest in his works prior to college. Ironically, I now have little interest in following him as an artist. He's a beast of a person. Craig Adamson, 24. January 2016

Spiritual wisdom along with emotional maturity requires that the viewer, the listener, the reader, the recipient
not only is willing to test the message, the writing, the art, the music, but also the messenger.

Established sexual predation at the workplace
Alfred Hitchcock (60ties) • Clarence Thomas (90ties) • Roger Ailes (2016) • Harvey Weinstein (2017)

Newcomer actress Tippi Hedren (*1930) had a leading role in the movies The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964), directed by Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980). It took Hedren fifty years to find public closure with the most powerful film mogul, her former genius director, known as the "master of suspense".

Tippi Hedren

In 2012 Tippi Hedren confessed: "He [Hitchcock] wanted to control my life [suck me dry and look out through my eyes]."
Later she added: "He ruined my career, but couldn't ruin my life."
Attesting "unusual genius" to Hitchcock, Hedren characterized him as "evil, and deviant, almost to the point of dangerous, because of the effect that he could have on people that were totally unsuspecting."

In her 2016 memoir Hedren disclosed that Hitchcock's crew knew all along that the perfec-
tionist director planned to expose his unexperienced new leading woman to trained drunk
scavenger birds – instead of mechanical birds, as she was led to believe from start.
Tippi Hedren's "worst week of her life" was five days of preplanned hell. Live birds being thrown at her non-stop – until she suffered a shock-trauma, a nervous shutdown, followed
by horrible nightmares and black outs. When Hedren's doctor ordered a week of rest under medical supervision for his patient, Hitchcock refused until he confronted the director, "Are you trying to kill her?" Leading man Rod Taylor (1930-2015) in The Birds commented later on the relentless attack on his co-star, "It had all the marks of a ritual stoning."

Within the movie scene of Hitchcock's days sexual harassment and stalking by influential men on trophy women was considered normal. And it still is, despite meanwhile existing harassment laws. Hedren was the object of Hitchcock's frightening dark sexual obsession of her. She, who stated, "I wasn’t the first actress who left angry, in an unpleasant situation" was not the only beautiful young actress who was controlled and humiliated by Alfred Hitchcock. Without naming names Hedren shared that two Hitchcock actresses got pregnant to step out of their contract, one changed her name to circumvent her vengeful director to ruin with her career. Hedren's female colleagues

Ingrid Bergmann (1915-1982)²,
Barbara Bel Geddes (1922-2005),
Janet Leigh (1927-2004),
Grace Kelly (1929-1982),
Doris Day (1922-2019)³,
Eva Marie Saint (*1924)⁴,
Vera Miles (*1929),
Kim Novak (*1933)⁵,
and Diane Baker (*1938)

have remained silent on the issue of alpha male Hitchcock "owning", controlling and/or stalking them.
The exception to the rule is Joan Fontaine (1917-2013). The young Fontaine recalled of Hitchcock's direction of her in the movie Rebecca in 1940: "He wanted total control over me."

Portrayals on Hitchcock by his biograhpers – 19 and 35 years after his death
Donald Spoto (*1941): "a self-loathing, sexually frustrated pervert obsessed with the 'Hitchcock blondes'." (1999)
Peter Ackroyd (*1949): "The sexual fantasies of his adult life were lavish and peculiar, and from the evidence
of his films, he enjoyed devising the rape and murder of women." (2015)
Did they mention that Hitchcock produced propaganda war films on behalf of British Intelligence in World War II?

In 2012 Tippi Hedren confessed on her experience in 1963-1964: "I dealt with it by becoming a master of getting out of the room so that I would't have to deal with him [Hitchcock] alone. There was NO ONE I could go to."

Alma Hitchcock (1899-1982), wife and scriptwriter of the assaulting movie mogul, was a collaborator in crime with her husband. She knew about his preying scheme, and did not spare the blonde targeted women.
When distraught Hedren confided once to Hitchcock's longterm personal assistant Peggy Robertson (1916-1998), she refused to help her.
At the end of his life Hitchcock's right-hand man for many years and assistant director on The Birds and Marnie James Brown confessed his guilt for the rest of his life for his bystanding.

The sadistic, powerful man Hitchcock was surrounded by sycophants who all knew about his continued abuses, yet complied with them.

Tippi Hedren disclosed on Hitchcock's dark unknown side some 50 years later via the British television film The Girl, produced by BBC/HBO in 2012. She resumed: "I don't feel revengeful in the slightest. I've done this on behalf of all those women who may find themselves in the same kind of position I found myself in, who believe themselves to be helpless under the control of a domineering man who is seeking to take advantage of them. I want them to watch the film, to take courage from it and have the strength to say: 'I will not acquiesce to whatever you want me to do, even if you are my boss. You do not have the right to make demands on me, certainly not demands of that nature.'

Alfred Hitchcock

Hitchcock insinuating to own her accompanied by his sexual advances to her ended his professional relationship with Hedren. He "owned" her for seven years on paper.
Hedren: "I want to get out of my [7 year long] contract."
Hitchcock: "You can't. You have your daughter to support, and your parents are getting older."
TH: "Nobody would want me to be in this situation, I want to get out."
AH: "I'll ruin your career."
TH: "Do what you have to do."
And Hitchcock's did ruin Hedren's career.

The British-American actress Sienna Miller, who played the part of Tippi Hedren, on the abusive monster Alfred Hitchcock:
"And then you go back and you revisit a lot of his work and then you realize that all the signs were there. But all I
knew about him that he was very funny and very talented."

Speaking Truth to Power is a term coined by the Quakers in the 1950's.

Professor Anita Hill, 2014
In October 1991 Anita Hill (*1956) became a national figure when she bravely accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas (*1948), her boss at the United States Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, of sexual harassment. As a result of a sloppy hearing on National TV Hill suffered professional, personal, and media backlash upon reporting Clarence's misconduct. Four other female witnesses ready to confirm Hill's testimony were not allowed to appear on court. In 1991, follow the meme of standing by the alpha male, 65% American citizens believed Thomas's account over Hill's. She fell, he rose professionally.
Professor Hill's watershed testimony sparked an intense national debate on how men and women relate to each other in the workplace. These harassment in the workplace debates led to ground-breaking court decisions and major shifts in corporate policies.

"When something is ready to become a cultural narrative, everything feeds it. When people are finally willing to look something in the eye, culture almost conspires to tell them how much of it they are willing to look in the eye. [There is a] whole other cultural narrative about who we choose to believe and believing women. Nobody comes out of this clean."

Gretchen Carlson, 2009
Television news anchor and author Gretchen Carlson (*1966) was degraded in her position and finally lost her job for bearing with and refusing the unwanted sexual advances and harassments made by Fox News chairman Roger Ailes (1940-2017) and male colleagues for a period of 11 years. Carlson toppled the sexual harassment culture of the ⚡ Fox News empire by winning a civil lawsuit against one of the most powerful men in the current television news industry. Her accusations made public in July 2016 prompted at least 20 other women including news anchor Megyn Kelly to come forward
with their similar experiences of sexual harassment they had suffered by their employer Roger Ailes.
Fox CEO Ailes denied all allegations against him. Suzanne Scott helped rally Fox women and on air personalities to trash Gretchen while supporting Ailes publicly.
Gretchen Carlson: "The lawsuit was a difficult step to take. I had to stand up for myself and speak out for all women." When interviewed on the lewd sexist remarks of US president Donald Trump, an outspoken supporter of both Ailes and abusive and removed Fox anchor Bill O'Reilly, Carlson said:
"I am saddened by the prevalence of powerful men disrespecting and objectifying women – and getting away with it for years. I think this is happening every day to women in all walks of life and in all different types of corporations. I am particularly distressed when people in the public eye who influence our culture perpetuate sexism."
As a result of Carlson's lawsuit the influential news executive Ailes was forced to resign from office. The terms of settlement were 21st Century Fox paid $20 million to the plaintiff and issued a public apology to her on 6. September 2016:
"We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated
with the respect and dignity that she and all of our colleagues deserve."

"The apology [of 21st Century Fox to Gretchen Carlson] is extraordinary.
It is very rare when companies settle with employees that they actually admit wrongdoing and apologize like this. It almost never happens in sexual harassment cases. It is probably guaranteed that Gretchen Carlson required this as part of the terms for the settlement that it would be acknowledged that this was how she was treated."

September 2016

"No one [no female victim] talks openly about sexual harassment. I know a lot of women, and I know a lot of powerful women, and I know very few women to whom that hasn't happened. And women have chosen for so many years to just deal, because that's what we believed we had to do to survive in a men's world. […] It is possible to both be harassed by somebody [Roger Ailes] and then go on to have a good working relationship with them. And that was the case with me. If he tried to sexually harass me now I'd stop him right in the middle of it and say, 'Hold on, that's inappropriate.' But you have to feel empowered to do that."

⚑ "Harvey Weinstein (*1951) is the tip of a very large iceberg when it comes to abuse in the movie business. He is the rotten product of a rotten culture
dominated by sociopaths, people who are given unlicensed power over other human beings⁷ – most of them desperate to forge careers in this most brutal and unforgiving of businesses, and thus ripe for spiritual, emotional, and psychological slaughter."

⚑ "In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hair-do. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are.

Ronan Farrow: "You see early in life with that kind of a family background the way in which the most powerful men in America wield power for good and for ill. And probably, yes, the family background made me someone who understood the abuse of power from an early age. It's not for me to say what Hollywood will or won't do, I will say that in every industry there are still powerful men facing credible allegations of wrongdoing who continue to evade accountability. As empowering a moment as this moment is [#Metoo movement], there's still a long way to go."
