When was the last time you went to a nightclub? – Get out of those sweatpants and put on something a little more luxe for a glamorous night chez-nous. We're taking you for a nightlife experience of early 20th century Vienna (from the comfort of your home). Our favorite spot for a good time: Cabaret Fledermaus. It was once one of the most famous nightclubs in Europe. – Josef Hoffmann, Bar Room, Cabaret Fledermaus, Vienna, Kärntnerstrasse 33 (detail), 1907, chromolithograph. Leonard A. Lauder Collection.

“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.” – Christopher Isherwood (The Berlin Stories) – For many, the Weimar era conjures associations of “anything goes” and excess consumption, but the heyday of the mid-20s is belied by the political and social upheaval that marked Weimar's violent beginning and its tragic conclusion. One work that vividly captures the cacophony of the Republic’s infancy is George Grosz's indelible 1919 Panorama (Down with Liebknecht). Grosz was at the forefront of a radical group of artists with socialist sympathies. His caricatures spare no one with their biting satire. This work commemorates the political assassinations of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, both of whom were violently murdered in 1919. Within the composition, we can see text feverishly scribbled alluding to this moment of turmoil. Grosz's jarring cubist lines offer a fractured view of life in the metropolis, where businessmen, politicians, prostitutes, and veterans vie with ordinary citizens for attention, power, and a piece of the capitalist pie. – George Grosz (1893-1959), Panorama (Down with Liebknecht), 1919, pen and ink and watercolor on paper.
