Remembering Robert Wise on his birthday 🎂
📷 Erich Lessing, 1964
"His films became increasingly fascinating to me because of the editing style, a very crisp, clear style of editing that kind of points the audience toward where to look in a scene."
- Martin Scorsese

Theodor Adorno takes a selfie.
Today we're celebrating his birthday 🎂
"While Adorno is a critic of the Enlightenment, he is ultimately a critic of its failure. There has been too little enlightenment, not too much."
- Nasrullah Mambrol
I didn't know that Theodor Adorno, such an important critic of avant garde music, was a composer himself. Here are his Two Pieces for String Quartet, op.2, 1924/25.
My favourite portrait of Theodor Adorno, from 1958. I wish I knew who took it.
In a letter to Walter Benjamin, Adorno said this about high & popular culture: "Both are torn halves of an integral freedom, to which however they do not add up."

Remembering D. H. Lawrence on his birthday 🎂
📷 Edward Weston, 1924
@NPGLondon
"Lawrence, in the English language, was the great genius of our time (I mean the age, or climatic phase, following Conrad's)."
- F. R. Leavis
D.H. Lawrence is Mark Rampion in Aldous Huxley's Point Counterpoint, while the character Philip Quarles is Huxley's self-portrait. The two listen to Beethoven together in the novel.
This photo is possibly by Lady Ottoline Morrell
vintage snapshot print, 1928

Photo of Lawrence in Taos NM, from Mabel Dodge's scrapbook
"Lawrence’s formal accomplishment, less obvious at a glance than Joyce’s or Woolf’s, is to narrate beneath the stream of consciousness, & chart subterranean currents of feeling as they shift & swell."
- Benjamin Kunkel

Listening to Jimmy Rowles, The Peacocks, from 1977
With Stan Getz, Elvin Jones & Buster Williams
Love the cover illustration by Seymour Chwast
open.spotify.com/album/1xNk28wK…
Jimmy Rowles's 1976 album Jazz is a Fleeting Moment features a self-caricature
"Understatement was his strength, & his best solos often sound preplanned, spare, with each note perfectly chosen for its color. Rowles had absorbed the music of Ellington & Strayhorn."
- Peter Watrous
Bill Evans plays Jimmy Rowles's great song Peacocks, with Eddie Gómez on bass & Eliot Zigmund on drums. From his album You Must Believe in Spring, recorded in 1977, but not released until after Evans's death in 1980.

Remembering Elsa Schiaparelli on her birthday 🎂
📷 André Durst, 1936
"I like to amuse myself. If I didn't, I would die."
Impossible Interview: Stalin versus Elsa Schiaparelli
Vogue, June 1935
Illustration by Miguel Covarrubias
- What are you doing up here, dressmaker?
- I am getting a bird's-eye view of your women's fashions, Man of Steel.
- Can't you leave our women alone?

Remembering H. D. - Hilda Doolittle - on her birthday 🎂
📷 Man Ray, c. 1925
"She was beautiful, reckless, one of the poetesses whose poetry was feared and wondered over."
- D. H. Lawrence
H. D. by Man Ray, 1924
"To read H. D., early and late work, is like reading early and late Blake."
- Alicia Ostriker
Why is Sigmund Freud in this thread celebrating the birthday of the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-born poet H. D.? It's because Hilda Doolittle took this photo of Freud in his study at Berggasse 19, Vienna, with his chow Jofi, c. 1937

Remembering Karl Lagerfeld on his birthday 🎂
📷 Ian Cook, 1992
"More than anyone I know, he represents the soul of fashion: restless, forward-looking and voraciously attentive to our changing culture."
- Anna Wintour
I love this picture!
John Baldessari
Karl Lagerfeld, 2015
Both now gone, sadly.
Karl Lagerfeld by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, 2015
"He combined a historian’s knowledge of the past with a diarist’s curiosity about the present, and subjected them to the ruthlessness that ruled his life."
- Veronica Horwell
