Remembering Veronica Lake on her birthday 🎂
She was so good in Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels, 1941.
I was absurdly pleased to find out this outfit was designed by Edith Head, who did the costumes for the film. Great shot by Talmadge Morrison, the on set still photographer

A lovely shot by Talmadge Morrison of Joel McCrea & Veronica Lake, in Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, 1941
It must have been a relief for Edith Head to move on to this scene.

Veronica Lake by George Hurrell, 1941

Remembering Aaron Copland on his birthday 🎂
📷 Irving Penn, 1979
"He has never turned out bad work, nor worked without an inspiration. His stance is that not only of a professional but also of an artist - responsible, prepared, giving of his best."
- Virgil Thomson

An undated portrait of Aaron Copland by the composer David Diamond, who was a fine photographer.
"By having sold out to the mongrel commercialists half-way already, the danger is going to be wider for you, and I beg you dear Aaron, don't sell out entirely yet."

Remembering Claude Monet on his birthday 🎂
📷 Nickolas Muray, Giverny, 1926
@EastmanMuseum
"What an eye Monet has, the most prodigious eye since painting began! I raise my hat to him."
- Paul Cézanne

In June of 1926 the Hungarian-born American photographer Nickolas Muray visited Claude Monet at his home in Giverny. You can tell that he's a big fan!

Nickolas Muray & a colleague arrive at Claude Monet's Giverny Estate in June of 1926. For some reason, they have a chauffeur-driven Bentley.
