'''Peter Heinz Feist''' (most often '''Peter H. Feist''') (29 July 1928 – 26 July 2015) was a German [[art historian]].

== Life ==
Feist was born and grew up in 1928 in [[Warnsdorf]] in northern Bohemia. His father Georg H. Feist was a surgeon and in 1926 he moved with his wife from Prague to Warnsdorf, where he took over the management of the municipal hospital. His mother, Isolde Feist née Sojka, was a nurse who converted to Lutheranism as a so-called [[half-Jewish]] woman before her marriage in 1923; her father was a wealthy wine and spirits merchant from Reichenberg.<ref>Ulrike Krenzlin: ''Vom Bürger, der sich im Sozialismus verlief - Betrachtungen zur "Rückschau eines Kunsthistorikers" (From the bourgeois who lost his way in socialism - reflections on the "retrospect of an art historian") In Peter Arlt (ed.): ''Künstler, Kunstwerk und Gesellschaft - Gedenkveranstaltung für Peter H. Feist, 8 December 2016.'' Meeting reports Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin. Volume 132, year 2017. Trafo Wissenschaftsverlag Dr. Wolfgang Weist, Berlin 2017, , .</ref> In 1932 the parents divorced. The mother was later murdered together with her second husband and half-brother in 1944 in [[Auschwitz concentration camp]].

In Warnsdorf Feist attended school and grammar school from 1934 to 1944. His Latin teacher was Rita Hetzer, the later Romance scholar and literary scholar [[Rita Schober]], who was also the reviewer of his [[habilitation]] in 1966 and whose professorial colleague he met in 1968 at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin]]. (HUB) was. As a youth, Feist was still deployed in the last months of the Second World War from 1944 to early 1945 as [[Luftwaffenhelfer]] in [[Malbork]].

After the war the family moved to [[Lutherstadt Wittenberg]]. In 1947 he caught up his [[Abitur]] there and studied [[art history]], history and [[classical archaeology]] and oriental [[archaeology]] at the [[Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg]] (MLU) until 1952. In his diploma thesis he wrote about ''Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung orientalischer Einflüsse für die Kunst des frühen Mittelalters'' (Investigations on the meaning of oriental influences for the art of the early Middle Ages).<ref>''Scientific journal of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg'', Gesellschafts- und sprachwissenschaftliche Reihe 2, 1952/53, </ref> After his studies he worked at the MLU from 1952 to 1958 as assistant, aspirant, senior assistant and lecturer of [[Wilhelm Worringer]] at the Art History Institute. On 11 March 1958 he received his [[doctorate]] there with the thesis ''Die Stilstruktur von der altorientalischen bis zur romanischen Kunst" (The stylistic structure from ancient oriental to romanesque art). He had been a member of the [[Socialist Unity Party of Germany|SED]] since 1954.

Before he moved with his family to East-Berlin in 1962, he first worked from 1958 as a senior assistant and [[perception]] lecturer at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin]] (HUB). On 14 November 1966, after submitting a [[thesis]] on ''Bereicherung und Begrenzung der Malerei durch den französischen Impressionismus. Ein Beitrag zur Problematik der Kunstgeschichte in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts'' (Enrichment and limitation of painting by French Impressionism. A contribution to the problems of art history in the second half of the 19th century) he obtained his [[habilitation]]. In 1967 he was appointed as a lecturer, in 1968 as a professor with a teaching position and in 1969 as professor in the Aesthetics and Art Sciences section of the HUB. From 1966 to 1968 he worked as interim director of the Institute of Art History, then until 1973 as deputy director of the Aesthetics and Art Studies Section, and from 1977 as head of the Art Studies Department at this section.

Since 1950 many study trips and conference visits, also lectures and guest lectures in most European countries (including London, Lund, Moscow, Munich, Paris, Prague, Sofia, Stockholm, Uppsala) as well as in Burma, India and the USA. In 1961 his first book on the painter [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir|Auguste Renoir]] was published, also in Polish and Hungarian; in 1987 a revised licensed edition followed in Cologne; the book has been translated into about 20 languages.

From 1982 until his early retirement in mid-1990, Feist was director of the Institute for Aesthetics and Art Studies of the [[Academy of Sciences of the GDR]]. He was a member of the . He retired in 1993. He worked on several books and published reviews and art criticism in daily newspapers.

In 1950 Feist and Gisela Münster (1927-2004) married, whom he got to know as a student of German and English language and literature in Halle; she was then a [[lecturer]] at the (ABF) of the University of Halle until 1959. In 1953, the son Michael Feist was born. He studied chemistry at the HUB from 1971 to 1975, and in 1980, after an aspirancy at the [[Moscow State University]], he became a professor at the University of Halle (MGU) and since then has been working at the HUB again as a [[research assistant]]. He has two daughters: Ulrike Holzapfel ''née'' Feist (b.1978) and Katja Feist (b. 1998).

Feist last lived in [[Berlin-Pankow]] and died three days before his 87th birthday.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Virus Heads Upriver in Brazil Amazon, Sickens Native People

Virus Heads Upriver in Brazil Amazon, Sickens Native People

In the remote Amazon community of Betania, Tikuna tribe members suspect the coronavirus arrived this month after some returned from a two-hour boat trip down the Solimoes River to pick up their government benefit payments.

Dozens subsequently got headaches, fevers and coughs. Two died. And the five government medical workers for the community of about 4,000 are not treating the sick because they lack protective equipment and coronavirus tests, said Sinésio Tikuna, a village leader.

So the Tikuna rely on their traditional remedy for respiratory ailments: Inhaling clouds of smoke from burning medicinal plants and beehives.

The Tikuna's plight illustrates the danger from the coronavirus as it spreads to rainforest areas where tribe members live in close quarters with limited medical services. Most are reachable only by boat or small aircraft.

"We're very worried, mainly because help isn't arriving," Sinésio Tikuna said in a telephone interview.

Brazil has Latin America's highest COVID-19 death toll, with more than 15,000 as of Sunday. The country's hardest hit major city per capita is in the Amazon — Manaus, where mass graves are filling up with bodies.

Graves for people who have died in the past month fill a new section of the Nossa Senhora Aparecida cemetery, amid the new coronavirus pandemic, in Manaus, Brazil, May 11. 2020.

As Sinésio Tikuna described in an interview his belief that beehive smoke saved four sick tribe members, there was no one at a Manaus hospital to help a feverish woman, struggling to breathe, make it inside the emergency room. A police officer put her on a gurney, wheeling it inside with an Associated Press photographer's help.

The indigenous people dwelling up the Solimoes and Negro rivers that merge in Manaus to form the Amazon River tried for weeks to seal their reserves off from the virus, pleading for donations while awaiting government deliveries of food so they could remain isolated. It didn't come for many, indigenous advocates said.

The Upper Solimoes basin has 44 tribal reserves and has emerged as the Brazilian Amazon's indigenous infection hotspot. Testing is extremely limited, but shows that at least 162 of the area's approximately 76,000 indigenous people have been infected and 11 have died. There are more than 2,000 confirmed infections in parts of the area not overseen by the government's indigenous health care provider.

In a Tikuna village named Umariacu near the border with Peru and Colombia, the first three COVID-19 deaths were elderly tribe members infected by younger members who left town to receive government welfare payments and trade fish and produce for chicken and other food, said Weydson Pereira, who coordinates the region's indigenous government health care.

"Our biggest anguish today is the indigenous people who aren't staying in their communities and coming in and out of town. Today the safest place for them is inside their villages," Pereira said this month, infected and isolating at home with his infected wife and daughter.

Two weeks of tribal quarantine for the region would have provided time to identify and isolate cases, but "unfortunately, that hasn't happened," he said.

In the same area, people of Kokama ethnicity have been unable to get medical treatment fromhealth system in the small city of Tabatinga or from the government's indigenous care provider, federal prosecutors said in a lawsuit filed this week seeking to expand Tabatinga's hospital.

That hospital's 10 ventilators are in use for coronavirus patients and the nearest intensive care is 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) downriver in Manaus, also filled with patients, Pereira said.

Manaus' lack of coronavirus treatment prompted Pedro dos Santos, the leader of a slum named Park of Indigenous Nations, to drink tea made of chicory root, garlic and lime to combat a high fever that lasted 10 days. A 62-year-old neighbor of Bare indigenous ethnicity needed an ICU bed, but none were available and he died, said the man's son, Josué Paulino.

Some frightened residents of Manaus, population 2.2 million, are fleeing but they may be asymptomatic carriers and could spread the virus elsewhere, said Miguel Lago, executive director of Brazil's Institute for Health Policy Studies, which advises public health officials.

About 575 miles (925 kilometers) up the Negro River from Manaus is the community of Sao Gabriel Cachoeira, where people of 23 indigenous ethnicities make up more than 75 percent of the population.

About 46,000 live in the urban area and on rural reserves with frequent back-and-forth transit, said Juliana Radler, an advisor for the Socio-Environmental Institut, an environmental and indigenous advocacy group.

Sao Gabriel Cachoeira quickly reacted to the COVID-19 threat within a week of the World Health Organization's pandemic declaration by cutting off riverboat and plane arrivals in late March — except for essential goods and soldiers.

But Radler said some Sao Gabriel Cachoeira residents stuck in Manaus headed home on supply ships — disembarking nearby and sneaking into town under cover of darkness. About 150 others made the voyage on a triple-decker ferry named the Lady Luiza.

When it arrived days later, authorities tried but failed to turn passengers away. No quarantine areas were available and some ferry passengers may have brought the virus to Sao Gabriel Cachoeira, Radler said.

Brazil's Navy authorized the ferry's trip and passengers were desperate to go home because "they felt exposed and vulnerable" in Manaus, the Lady Luiza's owner said on Facebook.

By mid-April, many residents had what they believed was a strong flu. The community's COVID-19 committee used radio broadcasts, sound trucks and pamphlets to issue warnings about the virus in Portuguese and indigenous languages including Tukano, Nheengatu and Baniwa.

One of the first confirmed coronavirus cases was a teacher of Baniwa ethnicity who died after being taken to Manaus for treatment. For most people COVID-19 causes moderate symptoms like fever, but it can result in death.

As of this week, Sao Gabriel Cachoeira had 292 confirmed infections and nearby indigenous reserves had registered their first cases.

All six functioning ventilators in the hospital were in use and remote tribal health centers were short of supplies, Radler said. 

"We need a field hospital as fast as possible, in the next 20 days," she said. "If not, it will be a catastrophe, a true catastrophe."

Egypt Tightens Coronavirus Restrictions for Eid Holiday 

Egypt will bring forward the start of its curfew by four hours to 5 p.m. and halt public transport from May 24 for six days during the Eid holiday, as it seeks to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, the prime minister said on Sunday.

Shops, restaurants, parks and beaches will be closed for the extended holiday at the end of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, and restrictions on citizens' movements will remain in place for at least two weeks afterwards, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said.

Egypt has reported 11,719 cases of the novel coronavirus, including 612 deaths. Daily increases in the number of cases have been rising as the government slightly eased a night curfew and other measures. The number of cases rose by 491 on Saturday, the Health Ministry said.

Madbouly indicated that there could be a gradual reopening of some activities including sports clubs and restaurants from mid-June, and that a reopening of places of worship would also be considered.

After Eid, the curfew will last from 8pm-6am, as it did before Ramadan.

Anyone entering enclosed spaces with other citizens or taking public transport will be required to wear a mask, and the government was working on producing washable masks for general use, Madbouly said.
