The Owls by Carlo Farneti for a 1935 edition of Les Fleurs du Mal. Via Beautiful Century<\/a> although the scans probably came originally from 50 Watts<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 “…a project that seemed under a curse comprising greed, peculiar French copyright laws, jealousies and grudges, bad judgment, complicated ownership disagreements, a messy estate, and a list of individuals who believed they had some legal, financial, moral, or artistic right to the film itself.” Josh Karp<\/a> on the tangled history of The Other Side of the Wind<\/em>, always the most interesting of Orson Welles’ unfinished feature films.<\/p>\n \u2022 Producer Conny Plank<\/a> is remembered for his work with a host of German artists but he also recorded a session with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra in 1970. Gr\u00f6nland Records<\/a> is releasing the session in July, and they’ve posted Afrique (take 3 vocal<\/em><\/a>) as a taster.<\/p>\n \u2022 “And that’s what a lot of social media by authors is starting to look like, to feel like: being smacked in the face, repeatedly, by hundreds of fish.” Delilah S. Dawson<\/a> wants authors to leave off the incessant self-promotion.<\/p>\n “In everybody, there is an inner bestiary,” she claimed, and her pictures are overrun with animals and animal-headed creatures; sometimes sinister, sometimes acting as guides to the unconscious, as in The Pomps of the Subsoil<\/em><\/a> (1947). As her interests grew more hermetic her paintings abandoned all trace of the world beyond. If the figures occupy any sort of space it\u2019s rarely more than the planes of a room in muted browns or greys, and in many the surface is overlaid with geometric patterns that seem to imply some mystical framework.<\/p>\n Alice Spawls<\/a> on the art and life of Leonora Carrington<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2022 “How a pro-domme, a Russian diplomat, US intelligence and Mary Tyler Moore\u2019s landscaper conspired to create a dance classic.” Dave Tompkins<\/a> on The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u2022 “Battersea, in fact, is a fairly simple climb, made ready by the builders who are destroying it.” Katherine Rundell<\/a> on climbing Battersea Power Station at night.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mixes of the week: Secret Thirteen Mix 148 by\u00a0Mlada Fronta<\/a>, and The Ivy-Strangled Path, Volume V, by David Colohan<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Ert\u00e9<\/a> illustrates a gay romance in Lytton Strachey’s Ermyntrude and Esmeralda<\/em> (1913 but not published until 1969).<\/p>\n \u2022 Dangerous Minds looks back at “The most unusual magazine ever published”, Man, Myth & Magic<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 David Chase<\/a> on the writing, directing and editing of the final scene of The Sopranos<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Magic Man<\/a><\/em> (1969) by Caravan | The Myth<\/a><\/em> (1982) by Giorgio Moroder | Magick Power<\/a><\/em> (1987) by Opal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Owls by Carlo Farneti for a 1935 edition of Les Fleurs du Mal.
