While his name is not widely recognized, someone who had huge impact on modern visual culture was born #OnThisDay: Alois Senefelder, who invented lithography at end of 18th century. Without him we wouldn't have iconic images by Toulouse-Lautrec, Daumier, Diego Rivera, & others
Dracula also got the Warhol treatment for the Myths series. #HappyHalloween!

Very excited about piece I'm working on, hopefully to appear in @Artforum (fingers crossed!), revising our understanding of Romare Bearden's early work. Very few realize he began as cartoonist. These are previously unrecorded New Yorker-style panels he signed as "Howard Bearden"
Today I learned that Dada artist George Grosz invented the rainbow flag in 1946
And for the record, a few more paintings by Jaroslav Gebr: portraits of Joan Crawford (for a Steven Spielberg-directed episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery), Peter Falk as Columbo, and Orson Welles
