寫實主義先驅╳最受歡迎的近代畫家 他筆下的人物樸實而動人， 在一片情慾流動的藝術環境中，他退居巴爾比宗， 將農村秋收的景象描繪得詩情畫意，真實呈現農民們生活的苦難。 他是大家最熟悉的藝術大師──法蘭索瓦・米勒！ 「他似乎是屬於另一個時代、另一個民族、有著不同思維的人。他在法國藝術中是獨一無二的，而且幾乎像是一個外國人。他同等地被他的崇拜者和誹謗者所誤解。」──羅曼・羅蘭（Romain Rolland） ▎〈簸穀的人〉（The Winnower） 農夫拿著簸箕用力搖晃的身影，也將米勒顛進沙龍展。 臉部被陰影遮住的簸穀者，象徵著默默耕耘，辛勤勞動，既無名又沒有地位的所有農夫。 1848年在法國爆發的「二月革命」，工人們的奮起抗爭，觸動了米勒的神經，首度以農人為主題並被官方選入在沙龍成功展出的畫作，成為現實主義繪畫史上具有開創性的畫作。 ▎〈拾穗〉（The Gleaners） 猶如莊重的石碑一樣排列在廣闊無邊的原野上的三位農婦，在剛剛收割完的這片暗濁色的麥田裡，點點金黃色在畫中明亮卻少之又少的麥穗，昭示著農婦付出與收穫不成正比，彎下的背上乘載的重量，厚實且心安。 初見米勒在畫中運用寫實主義的的技法，三位處於艱難狀態下的工作的農婦形象，營造出威嚴莊重的氣氛，美感來自於米勒那簡潔而又富有節奏感的輪廓勾勒以及雕塑式的圓實造型。 ▎〈晚禱〉（The Angelus） 沒有看見鐘的影子，卻彷彿聽到遠處教堂傳來的鐘聲與虔誠的禱告聲。 身為虔誠的基督徒，畫作中時常漫布的濃厚宗教意味是屬於米勒的獨有韻味，落日餘暉下，靜謐沉寂的大地和屏息靜默的夫妻融為一體，無限虔誠的神態與靜謐的力量，讓虔誠的心聲充滿了整個空間。 ▎〈牧羊女與羊群〉（Shepherdess with her Flock） 高高的地平線、平坦而遼闊的草原、熙熙攘攘的羊群，一位年輕的牧羊女獨自佇立，身上披著厚重的毛氈，背對著羊群，逆著彩霞的光，獨自編織著手上的毛衣。她微躬的體態與專注的神情，猶如禱告般虔誠。 1864年的沙龍展公開展出，首次獲得佳評如潮的畫作，被權威藝評家高帝耶（Théophile Gautier）稱讚它是「一幅完美的畫」，承襲的一貫具有宗教氛圍感的祥和靜謐，一望無際的曠野與淡淡的愁緒令人喟嘆。 ▎〈春〉（Spring） 繽紛的色彩，嫩綠的森林、新綠的小草、深綠的大樹、金黃的陽光，遠處的彩虹，構成了層次分明、色

In 1992, while presenting at the World Futures Studies Federation course on International Development, I shifted my lecture from the typical rehearsed presentation on factors explaining maldevelopment to a real time unpacking/deconstruction of transportation futures. As I, we, worked through the analysis, alternatives organically emerged. The four levels were: first, the problem or the litany – congestion and pollution. Second the causes: too many cars and desire for more cars, rising incomes, traditional infrastructure that was not car flow friendly, among other factors. Third, the Big City outlook, westernization, and the "Los Angelization" of the planet. And fourth, West is best with cars as freedom, as individuality. We understood that the government would take a technical approach of creating flyovers and not the deeper required to rethink centre-periphery relations – to decentralize - to reimagine Bangkok as a walkable and green city. This led to a discussion on not just in
