So excited for this. Beginning November 1 @MintTheaterCo: Noël Coward's 'The Rat Trap!' https://t.co/SdyM0QtJyL.
I can never get enough of Glackens' theater art, focused upon the variety stage. Here are a few more paintings, including his 1914 portrait of Kay Laurel.
Actor caricatures by the giant of Cuban modernist illustration, Conrado Walter Massaguer. Some clowns, cowboys and Salomes: Harold Lloyd, William S. Hart, Sarah Bernhardt, Alla Nazimova.
Today's style inspiration: Bricktop in feathers in 'Vogue,' 1971 (and a photo that suggests the mid-late '30s, when she's already boasting a boa).
This Ingmar Bergman 'Theater' page is a treasure trove of images, quotes--& shockers! 'In the early '70s Barbra Streisand asked Bergman to make a film of (The Merry Widow), with her in the lead role. Bergman wrote a synopsis, but a film never came of it:' https://t.co/SZ24KLfJ2E.
What a fascinatingly contradictory take on second wave feminism is Fellini's 'City of Women' (1980). And the visual connections to Matisse's 'La Danse'--which, beyond Mastroianni, so connect the film with '8 1/2.'
A few others from the Volker Pfüller archive: icons of the Weimar Republic, and two adaptations of the Greeks. https://t.co/DRDDtPXJ60
Exploring the striking punk-meets-Art Nouveau theater posters of Volker Pfüller, who designed art for many Brecht productions. I love his images for 'Baal,' '3penny,' the timely & underdone "Round Heads and Pointed Heads" (subject of this week's class), & also 'Petra von Kant.'
