Auguste Rodin in his Atelier 1905 Gertrude Käsebier (via Artistas & bartleby-company)

Gertrude Käsebier (1852–1934) was one of the most influential American photographers of the early 20th century. She was known for her evocative images of motherhood, her powerful portraits of Native Americans and her promotion of photography as a career for women.

Second artistic light post of the day. Another eastern artist playing with light: Calabarte from Polalnd makes amazing table lamps out of gourds. Via gaksdesigns.

My second in a pair of cattle posts—a handy animation of the range of the bulls of Pablo Picasso from 1945-1946.

Images of Andy Warhol and the Rolling Stones during the seventies.

At the turn of the decade the band appeared on the BBC’s highly rated review of the sixties music scene Pop Go The Sixties, performing Gimme Shelter on the show, which was broadcast live on 31 December 1969. In 1970 the band’s contracts with both Allen Klein and Decca Records ended, and amid contractual disputes with Klein, they formed their own record company, Rolling Stones Records. Sticky Fingers (UK number 1; US 1), released in March 1971, the band’s first album on their own label, featured an elaborate cover design by Andy Warhol. The album contains one of their best known hits, “Brown Sugar”, and the country-influenced “Dead Flowers”. Both were recorded at Alabama’s Muscle Shoals Sound Studio during the 1969 American tour. The album continued the band’s immersion into heavily blues-influenced compositions. The album is noted for its “loose, ramshackle ambience”^[82] and marked Mick Taylor’s first full release with the band.

Poster for “Un Chien Andalou” (“An Andalusian Dog”) the classic 1929 silent film by the Spanish surrealists Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí.^[1] It was Buñuel’s first film and is still as striking and disorienting as ever today. And eight years later.

Architectural interrogation of interiors, work by Swiss artist Felice Varini via gaksdesigns. His artist statement. More from Wikipedia:

Felice Varini is a Swiss artist who was nominated for the 2000/2001 Marcel Duchamp Prize, known for his geometric perspective-localized paintings of rooms and other spaces, using projector-stencil techniques. According to mathematics professor and art critic Joël Koskas, “A work of Varini is an anti-Mona Lisa.”
