To begin- I’m playing with what to title my Sunday posts- I like the thought of the five words in today’s title because it sort of represents what I’m taking pictures of. Any ideas on the best way to title these? Thanks!!

Ethel Reed
Jules Cheret
Oh, You Women (1919) lost film
The New York Idea (1920)
The Poster House- The Utopian Avant Garde: Soviet FIlm Posters of the 1920’s- Ethel Reed: I am my Own Property Experimental Marriage: Women in Early Hollywood- I found it interesting that women had an active part in filmmaking until the unions took hold. I was impressed with the work of Reed and found it beautiful.
Bernd & Hilla Becher- Metropolitan Museum of Art. While I found the idea of their work, the disappearing industrial architecture of Western Europe and Northern America that fueled the modern era– interesting, and I thought their photos were impressively shot and orchestrated, on the whole I didn’t have too many feels

Gallery 460- Met
Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia- Metropolitan Museum of Art. Neither photos nor words can adequately describe how impressive Gallery 461 is.
Old John’s Diner- iconic cheeseburger!!
Interesting version of Hunchback of Notre Dame
I just thought this was fun!!

  5. Those posters were especially interesting. It got me to thinking about my pre-teen and teen years — a hundred years ago — when we rather rabidly searched for cool posters for our bedroom walls. I wonder if kids today still put posters up on their walls………..or is that totally a thing of bygone eras? As usual, thanks for sharing these interesting pics!

  10. Any thoughts on why/how the unions were a negative for women in film making? Did it become a “good ol’ boys club” or perhaps an opportunity for a power grab? Inquiring minds… (OH, another “i” word for you😉)

    1. I don’t know for sure, but it appears that it did become a boys club…once things were organized, it was easier to exclude, or include as the case were
