Häuser mit bunter Wäsche (Vorstadt II) / Houses with Laundry (Suburb II). Egon Schiele (1914)
Am more than a little sad that this is permanently vanishing from the public sphere (its being sold by the Leopold Museum in Vienna at Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Evening Sale tonight for a mere £22 - 30 million!). It is breathtaking in person and positively vibrates with colour.
Awesome animation of the heads of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt. This film can be seen at the Neue Galerie New York as part of the amazing Messerschmidt exhibition .This video art was created by Edward Rose and Nick Reynolds.

Jim Dow. Hagan’s Dairy Bar, Bardstown, Kentucky, 1980.
Jim Dow’s interest in those places where people enact their everyday rituals, from the barbershop to the baseball park, has guided the path of his photographic career. Dow is concerned with capturing “human ingenuity and spirit” in endangered regional traditions—a barbershop with a heavy patina of town life covering the walls, the opulent time capsule of an old private New York club, the densely packed display of smoking pipes in an English tobacconist shop—all artifacts of a vanishing era.
