It focusses on Modernity in German Art from 1910-37.

Expressionism. Bauhaus. Dada. Constructivism. New Objectivity. 

Metropolis. And what the National Socialist Party termed Degenerate Art 

and confiscated, stole, burnt or sold abroad.  It's a fascinating show.

Hurry down to the NGV before you miss out!

I love the beautiful shapes of Mid-Century Modern designs.

This wonderful interior is from a 1961 french design magazine.

The Dollhouse #2

This lovely image has been doing the internet rounds lately.

Funny, I've had this National Geographic photo kicking around 

in my various studios for years and years... it's like an old friend.

The building's beautiful, but I also really love the colours and the 

composition of this photograph, and how the symmetry of the 

building is echoed by the two boys standing in the upper balcony

but in contrast to the flow of the kids playing ball at the bottom.  

It's wonderful, but I have no idea who the photographer is...

which living columns
sometimes emit confused words.
Man approaches it through
forests of symbols, which observe
him with familiar glances”
