Sending 100 birthday wishes to Amos Vogel, the influential cineaste and curator who was born #OnThisDay in 1921! Born in Vienna, Vogel and his parents fled from the Nazis in 1938. Vogel ultimately settled in New York City, where he founded the avant-garde ciné-club Cinema 16 (1947–1963). Here, he presented films by leading European directors, including John Cassavetes, Nagisa Oshima, Roman Polanski, Alain Resnais, and Jacques Rivette alongside American avant-gardists of the time, such as Kenneth Anger, Stan Brakhage, James Broughton, Bruce Conner, Carmen D'Avino, Maya Deren, Sidney Peterson, among many others. In 1974, he published “Film as a Subversive Art,” which covered more than 600 films and became a bestseller.

The princess leans in to kiss the frog. What do you think happens next? 👸🏻💕 🐸 This book plate was created by Koloman Moser around 1905 in the Art Nouveau style. Moser was admired by his contemporaries as an artistic jack-of-all-trades. Today he is is regarded as one of the leading representatives of the Vienna Secession, alongside Gustav Klimt. To learn more about the artist, we recommend "Koloman Moser: Designing Modern Vienna 1897-1907" edited by Christian Witt-Dörring. This stunning catalogue was published by Neue Galerie New York to coincide with an exhibition by the same name, and focuses on Moser’s accomplishments in the decorative arts. ________ #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #KolomanMoser 
On April 14, 1912, the world’s largest luxury liner, RMS Titanic, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The impressive ship sank two hours later; about 2,200 passengers were on board, and more than 1,500 people died. It remains one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history, and became a cultural phenomenon, commemorated by artists, composers, filmmakers, and writers. German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann produced this enormous work in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy. His composition focused on the women and children stuffed into the lifeboats, some dressed in fine evening attire, while the brightly lit Titanic looms in the background. Ghostly bodies are seen in the freezing waters. ________ Max Beckmann, “Sinking of the Titanic,” 1912-13, oil on canvas. Saint Louis Art Museum; Bequest of Morton D.
