Advance Column of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition, 1890

The Emin Pasha Relief Expedition of 1886 to 1889 was one of the last major European expeditions into the interior of Africa in the nineteenth century, ostensibly to the relief of Emin Pasha, General Charles Gordon’s besieged governor of Equatoria, threatened by Mahdist forces. Led by Henry Morton Stanley, the expedition came to be both celebrated, for its ambition in crossing “darkest Africa”, and notorious, for the bloodshed and death left in its wake.

 Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger - Hercules in New York, 1970

Hercules in New York, 1970

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, born July 30, 1947 is an Austrian American bodybuilder, actor, model, businessman, and politician. Arnold Alois S. is currently serving as the 38th Governor of California. His 1970 Movie »Hercules in New York« sports a rather intriguing plot: Hercules a young brute is bored living in Olympus (the home of the great Greek gods) and decides to move to New York. Obviously, it is not easy for him – a man who lived in ancient Greece – to get used to modern life … But fortunately there is no problem that can´t be solved with a well placed brawl, some rough stuff and a little help from a college professor’s daughter …

march71 syd Syd Barrett

“Syd is 25 now, and worried about getting old. “I wasn’t always this introverted,” he says, “I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any.” Suddenly he points out the window. “Have you seen the roses? There’s a whole lot of colours.” Syd says he doesn’t take acid anymore, but he doesn’t want to talk about it… “There’s really nothing to say.” He goes into the garden and stretches out on an old wooden seat. “Once you’re into something…” he says, looking very puzzled. He stops. “I don’t think I’m easy to talk about. I’ve got a very irregular head. And I’m not anything that you think I am anyway.”
- From Mick Rock’s final interview with Syd in Rolling Stone, Dec 1971

Salvador Dali A (Dali_Atomicus)

Portrait of Salvador Dalí for LIFE magazine by Philippe Halsman in a »making of« version: this version has a wider crop than the published version, showing the assistant holding the chair, the prop that lifts the stool, and the piano wires used to hold the picture and the easel in place (in fact the frame on the easel is still empty). Wet spots from some of the many previous attempts (28 in total … that’s 84 thrown cats) can also be seen on the floor.

Adolf Loos

der menschliche embryo macht im mutterleibe alle entwicklungsphasen des tierreiches durch. wenn der mensch geboren wird, sind seine sinneseindrücke gleich denen eines neugeborenen hundes. seine kindheit durchläuft alle wandlungen, die der geschichte der menschheit entsprechen. mit zwei jahren sieht er wie ein papua, mit vier jahren wie ein germane, mit sechs jahren wie sokrates, mit acht jahren wie voltaire. wenn er acht jahre alt ist, kommt ihm das violett zum bewußtsein, die farbe, die das achtzehnte jahrhundert entdeckt hat, denn vorher waren das veilchen blau und die purpurschnecke rot. der physiker zeigt heute auf farben im sonnenspektrum, die bereits einen namen haben, deren erkenntnis aber dem kommenden menschen vorbehalten ist.

das kind ist amoralisch. der papua ist es für uns auch. der papua schlachtet seine feinde ab und verzehrt sie. er ist kein verbrecher. wenn aber der moderne mensch jemanden abschlachtet und verzehrt, so ist er ein verbrecher oder ein degenerierter. der papua tätowiert seine haut, sein boot, sein ruder, kurz alles, was ihm erreichbar ist. er ist kein verbrecher. der moderne mensch, der sich tätowiert, ist ein verbrecher oder ein degenerierter. es gibt gefängnisse, in denen achtzig prozent der häftlinge tätowierungen aufweisen. die tätowierten, die nicht in haft sind, sind latente verbrecher oder degenerierte aristokraten. wenn ein tätowierter in freiheit stirbt, so ist er eben einige jahre, bevor er einen mord verübt hat, gestorben. der drang, sein gesicht und alles, was einem erreichbar ist, zu ornamentieren, ist der uranfang der bildenden kunst. es ist das lallen der malerei.
