Picasso

Few men have achieved such renown or have made such an impact on the twentieth century and its art as Pablo Picasso, who was born almost a hundred years ago, on 25 October 1881, at Málaga in southern Spain.

His life was long and prolific. When he died in 1973 at the age of 91 he had produced some 20,000 paintings, engravings, sculptures, drawings, constructions and collages. But he was remarkable not only for the prodigious volume and variety of his output; perhaps no other artist of modern times has responded so intensely and so imaginatively to events, to the changing conditions and challenges of this century.

Although after his early years in Málaga, Madrid and Barcelona Picasso moved to France where he spent three-quarters of his life, he always remained in his habits, his temperament and his outlook fundamentally Spanish (perhaps the greatest genius his country has produced since Goya). And yet his art achieved a universal significance, as an expression of the triumphs and tragedies, the vitality and the restless searchings of twentieth century man. It was nourished by many tributaries from the past, including the work of his great Spanish predecessors and the painters of the late nineteenth century. At the same time, Picasso absorbed many lessons from art outside the classical, European tradition - archaic Iberian art, the art of Black Africa. His vast work reveals not only its creator's sensitivity to wider issues and to purely artistic problems, it also tells much about Picasso the man. It is a compelling personal record of his everyday life, his moods, his rages, and his dilemmas. From beginning to end this man of unflagging creative vitality embodied many paradoxes and contradictions, both in his life and in his art, yet he was never false to himself or to his inspiration. One distinguishing quality of this revolutionary, iconoclastic artist was, for instance, the way in which he constantly returned to tradition, confronting time and again the work of the great painters of the past. Another seeming paradox: while he relished life and loved the human body with an ogrish vitality, his depictions of the body are characterized by brutal distortions of an expressive power unmatched in Western art. Expression is everything! - his work seems to proclaim. For Picasso life and art were one.

〈戀人〉

畢卡索（Pablo Ruiz Picasso）

（西元1881.10.25—1973.4.8）

西班牙畫家與雕塑家。20世紀現代藝術的主要代表人物之一。從古典主義到超現實主義，每個時期的創作風格大不相同。平面與立體藝術遺作多達二萬多件，是少數能在生前坐擁名利的藝術家。

周末，記得寄書。臺大傅園外的羅斯福路旁，擺個長長的攤位：真善忍：這是很妙的中國民俗變形："美"太奇怪了；"忍"則是很古東方：忍者.....那家據說是出版人開的飲料店人滿，牆上告訴你如何點Panini (sandwich) .....想起三十幾年前在加州科技城的sandwich 店，服務生念一串三明治名字，我完全無知，這可把我窘死。1983

正如之前1977在英國大學內的bar的滿牆烈酒，幾乎叫不出一杯酒名......肯德基內那個小孩瞪著那半根豐飽的玉米.....桌上擺著"夏濟安日記"，原來卞之琳先生到英國前就失戀了，.....近70年前，夏先生寫下kissable 這字眼；同一說法，想起那位朋友珍吾，在大肚山跟我說，我的朋友的嘴真美......如今，分散在這島國兩處的"情人"安在否？

蘇兄從法鼓山的{阿含經}3天研討會後，下山來取他託買的小英點亮台灣T-shirts，趕緊回新竹，將它們交給讀博士班的兒子，當禮物---去年太陽花革命期間，他刻意要到現場睡一晚。

我特別去附近專作英國糕點的店買些scones，有點特殊，淡鹹味，可口。我將Kevin 送的咖啡豆，分一半轉送給他們父子。

碰到專作法國糕點的法國鄰人，他的，採用訂製，比較不適合我這種隨性的。我才注意到：他的單車的輪胎等，都是"重量級"的。(2021補，我近兩年沒看到他了......)

附近一家賣自助餐的店，少說開了十來年，換成一家名為J Plus 的美容院---此行業近十來年大興，店的密度頗高。(2021補，當然，可能又換數家，現在的室內設計公司，應該會好點，更穩定點......)

我家對面賣簡體字的科技書的"高等教育"，也是此地開了十來年了，在搬遷到租金較合理的大樓地下室。

我到台大圖書館去借Leading Personalities in Statistical Sciences，因為Deming博士的學生有他的簡傳 (為什麼沒有W. A. Shewhart的，搞不清楚)。我在書架附近，看到普林斯頓大學慶祝John W. Tukey 80歲大壽的文集THE PRACTICE OF DATA ANALYSIS，當然不會錯過。

【第二外語】 #日語 #韓語 #競爭力

要學第二外語，哪一種語言最好用、「投資報酬率」最高？

很多人因為喜歡韓團而學韓文、愛看日劇學日文，但這兩種語言，只有韓國和日本自己才使用，到全世界其它地方都「行不得也」。

如果考慮「投報率」，要怎麼判斷學哪些外語最划算、有效率、在國際上或職場最有競爭力？

讓我想起：2008年我寫的吳玉印（Yuin Wu）先生，他在1973年給我的勸告："他精通日文，英文「也行」；他總是勸我們，要先學好英文，再談學日文。"

2015.3.10 Out of theCrisis 一書補正：

(注5) 參考田口玄一和吳玉印合著的《生產線之外的品管》( Off-Line Quality Control 譯按：此為田口實驗計畫法) (1979，中日本，日本國名古屋名鐵區4-10-27)；田口玄一《生產線上的品管》( On-Line Quality Control During Production) (1981，日本規格協會，東京港区赤坂區 1-24-4 )(譯按：已遷至港区三田區。此兩本書有合訂修正本：Genichi Taguchi, Subir Chowdhury, Yuin Wu (2005). Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook. John Wiley. ISBN 978-0471413349.)。又可參考福特汽車公司的彼得‧杰瑟普 (Peter T. Jessup)著的《績效改進的價值》(The value of improved performance) 論文，發表於美國品管學協會的汽車分部在1983年11月4日在底特律開的會議。

這是我2008年的書的草稿。

紀念 吳玉印（Yuin Wu）老師

吳玉印（Yuin Wu）老師是國際知名（1980年代起）的專家，譬如說他從成大畢業都有非英語的文章介紹：YUIN WU es ingeniero químico por la Universidad Cheng Kung, de Taiwan.

大二下（1973年），剛搶修完統計學（大三的課），知道吳玉印老師來兼課「實驗計畫」（為大四開設），就迫不及待加選。

記得全部學生約只六位（我班為東海小班末屆，聯招收20名，由於是熱門系，畢業可能三十餘人）。頭一堂課，建築系的王錦堂老師也來聽課，讓吳老師很受寵。他的課好像在周六，不過，我們在周五晚上就可以在招待所與他聊天。他課後也請我們吃幾頓飯。

那時候，吳老師說，理想的月薪應是六萬多（我記得當時私校注冊含住宿費，每年為一萬元）【後來，我1978年底回國任職中央標準局，薪水不到萬元】。

他精通日文，英文「也行」；他總是勸我們，要先學好英文，再談學日文。數十年後，我發現，任何外文，窮一輩子之功都無法成家。不過，吳玉印老師的勸告很實在。

1977年，我將吳玉印老師的中文教科書借給英國 Essex 大學高級老師（reader） Dr. Farlie看，他從直交表就能了解日本產業界的一些創新。

他是田口玄一（G. Taguchi）博士的朋友（兼合作者 collaborator），約從1960早期至過世，一直都是田口博士的翻譯者和夥伴。1980之後在美國的英文講義和著名亦然。

約1982年，我由工研院電子所去加州San Jose 的IBM等公司出差。那時，吳玉印老師請我吃便餐，他與田口先生為主導的 American Supplier Institute，已在美國開始有影響力，我笑說，光是Ford Motors公司的全體供應商就可以讓他們忙幾年。

90年代，我還在學會CSQC聽過他的「實驗計畫新知」。生產力中心拿專案翻譯出版、推廣「田口流實驗計畫」，所以他每年都回台灣。有天（約1997），他從美國打電話給我，希望我介紹美國某著名出版社的編輯，因為他有新著作。

之後，我側面知道他希望有機會接接台灣的案子（projects）；可惜我那時不懂得、也不想利用我在產業界和工研院僅剩的一點影響力，所以沒幫上忙。

吳玉印老師教給我的，豈只是「實驗計畫」。我最能了解教育投資的不可預期，譬如說，1973或1975級的工業工程系畢業生中，最能發揮「實驗計畫」這門學問的，反而是自修有成的張忠樸先生（他沒修吳玉印老師課）。就我而言，我們的師生情是品質運動一頁最可貴的紀念。

2008年我訪問趙明德老師，「他們邀請過吳玉印老師演講。他認為，吳老師的頭腦比Taguchi的好得多。」三頭六臂 通信集 4 敬獻 趙明德老師

我小時，第一次到鹿港，幾乎完全聽不懂當地人講的臺語，比老張的國語還難懂。使用井水。

祖母帶我幾次去那兒注文家具和上漆師.......

大學時可能有機會去海邊漫步......

#OnThisDay in 1958 Boris Pasternak, author of 'Doctor Zhivago', sent a telegram accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature before declining it just four days later.

Pasternak is one of four laureates forced to decline the prize by government authorities. When he originally accepted the prize he said he was "immensely thankful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed."

Although Pasternak did not accept the prize, his rejection did not alter the validity of the award and he remains a Nobel Prize laureate.
