Chameleon is a film by Helen Sear, made in 2012, duration 10 minutes and 41 seconds. This silent film begins in complete darkness in the dead of night, and gradually, a golden sunflower in full bloom, just before going to seed, emerges. Out of frame, the only light source, a single torch with adjustable focus, is used to slowly illuminate the petals that gently sway in the night's breeze. The torch's focus is gradually modified to intensify the light beam onto the centre of the flower. The sunflower begins to take on the impression of an ambiguous moving, staring eye, similar to that of a chameleon that can move in all directions and each eye independently. It then recedes back into the darkness as the torch's focus is reset. Artist, Helen Sear, said: “Sunflowers have always been very iconic in the history of art, including, obviously, Van Gogh, Ai Weiwei, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Man Ray, and many others. And I wanted to try and make a piece of work, which added another dimension to the already much depicted sunflower. “I'm very interested in the kind of porousness between animal, vegetable and mineral, and how sometimes, these things merge together. And while I was looking at the sunflower in its state of full bloom, and just before it was going to seed, I thought it looked very much like an eye that was looking directly at myself. So I wondered how I might be able to capture this feeling, where the flower could in some way become alive or somewhere between a plant or an animal or a mythical being, that is actually looking straight back at the viewer, in a way, looking at them straight in the eye.” Helen Sear's practice focuses on the co-existence of human, animal, and natural environments and is rooted in an interest in Magic Realism, Surrealism and Conceptual Art. She studied Fine Art at Reading University and University College London, Slade School, her practice coming to prominence in the late 1980s, when she worked primarily with mixed-media installation, performance and video. Photography remains a central subject and medium in her work, which often challenges the dominance of the eye and the fixed-point perspective associated with the camera lens, and explores the potential of the artwork to activate and elicit feeling. Sear was the first woman to represent Wales with a solo exhibition at the 56th Venice Biennale 2015, presenting a suite of new works…the rest is smoke. She was elected a Royal Academician in 2024.
Ffilm 10 munud a 41 eiliad o hyd a wnaed gan Helen Sear RA yn 2012 yw Chameleon. Mae'r ffilm fud hon yn dechrau yn nhywyllwch y nos ac yn raddol mae blodyn haul euraidd agored, ychydig cyn hadu, yn ymddangos. Y tu allan i'r llun, defnyddir yr unig ffynhonnell golau, un tortsh â ffocws addasadwy, i oleuo'r petalau sy'n siglo yn ysgafn yn awel y nos. Mae ffocws y tortsh yn cael ei addasu'n raddol i ddwysáu'r paladr golau ar ganol y blodyn. Mae'r blodyn haul yn dechrau ymdebygu i lygad symudol amwys sy'n syllu, fel cameleon sy'n gallu symud ei ddwy lygad ym mhob cyfeiriad ac yn annibynnol ar ei gilydd. Yna mae'n encilio i'r tywyllwch wrth i ffocws y tortsh gael ei ailosod. Meddai Helen Sear, yr artist: “Mae blodau haul bob amser wedi bod yn eiconig iawn yn hanes celf, gan gynnwys, yn amlwg, van Gogh, Ai Weiwei, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Man Ray a llawer o artistiaid eraill. Ac roeddwn am roi cynnig ar greu darn o waith a fyddai'n ychwanegu dimensiwn arall at y blodyn haul, sydd eisoes wedi'i ddarlunio'n aml. “Mae gennyf ddiddordeb mawr yn natur fandyllog anifeiliaid, llysiau a mwynau a sut gall y pethau hyn gyfuno â'i gilydd weithiau. Er fy mod yn edrych ar y blodyn haul yn ei gyflwr agored, ychydig cyn iddo hadu, roeddwn yn meddwl bod golwg debyg iawn arno i lygad a oedd yn edrych yn uniongyrchol ataf. Felly, roeddwn yn ceisio meddwl sut gallwn gyfleu'r teimlad hwn, lle gallai'r blodyn mewn rhyw ffordd ddod yn fyw, neu fod rhywle rhwng planhigyn neu anifail neu fod mytholegol, sydd wir yn edrych yn syth tuag at y gwyliwr ac yn edrych yn syth ym myw ei lygad.” Mae gwaith Helen Sear yn canolbwyntio ar gydfodolaeth pobl, anifeiliaid ac amgylcheddau naturiol ac mae wedi'i wreiddio yn ei diddordeb mewn realaeth hud, swrrealaeth a chelf gysyniadol. Astudiodd Gelfyddyd Gain ym Mhrifysgol Reading ac Ysgol Slade yng Ngholeg Prifysgol Llundain a daeth ei gwaith i'r amlwg tua diwedd y 1980au, pan fu'n defnyddio gosodweithiau cyfryngau cymysg, perfformiado a fideos yn bennaf. Mae ffotograffiaeth yn parhau i fod wrth wraidd ei gwaith, sydd yn aml yn herio goruchafiaeth y llygad a'r safbwynt sefydlog sy'n gysylltiedig â lens y camera, ac yn archwilio potensial y gwaith celf i ddeffro ac ennyn teimladau. Sear oedd y fenyw gyntaf i gynrychioli Cymru yn Biennale Fenis, pan gafodd y digwyddiad ei gynnal am y 56ed tro yn 2015, gan gyflwyno cyfres o ddarnau newydd o'r enw …the rest is smoke. Fe'i hetholwyd yn aelod o Academi Frenhinol y Celfyddydau yn 2024.
In the summer of 1937, some of the 20th Century's most famous artists, writers and photographers were holidaying in the south of France. They included artist Pablo Picasso, photographer Lee Miller, poet Paul Éluard and the painter Man Ray.The group were part of the Surrealist movement – a style of art inspired by dreams and hidden thoughts that can look strange and bizarre - and one of their most recent converts was artist Eileen Agar. Through a 1985 BBC interview with Eileen, digital archivist Jonathan Charlton tells the story of that summer in an episode produced by Jane Wilkinson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Elle avait choisi de s'appeler « Lee » plutôt qu'Elizabeth, préférant un prénom androgyne coupant court d'emblée à tout a priori genré sur sa plume et son œil. Lee Miller préférait prendre des photos plutôt qu'en être le sujet, elle dont le corps lui avait échappé dès l'enfance. Mannequin, photographe, apprentie puis complice de Man Ray, photographe de mode pour Vogue, elle obtient l'une des rares accréditées par l'armée américaine pour suivre les troupes pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec Margaret Bourke-White et Helen Kirkpatrick. Lee Miller semblait n'avoir rien à perdre, et tout à montrer. Fascinante femme, libre et ingénieuse, Lee Miller donna à voir la vie dans ses infimes détails qui parfois éclairent tout et permettent de mieux comprendre la grande Histoire. Elle documenta la chute de l'Allemagne nazie, la libération des camps et l'Europe sidérée, affamée et meurtrie. Une plume, un œil, une curiosité insatiable, une voix pour les femmes Photojournaliste, Lee Miller écrivait la vie, le réel, en exposant les à côté pour exacerber l'inhabituel, les contrastes. Les légendes de ses photos sont faites du même grain, elle pose sur ses mots le même effet que sur la pellicule, elle solarise pour faire émerger les contours, les détails avec humour, sensibilité, humanisme et une certaine férocité parfois. Lee Miller est une artiste protéiforme, se réinventant constamment, créant sans cesse. Des photos de et avec ses amis surréalistes à Paris, à sa vie après la guerre à Farley's Farm où elle s'installe avec son mari, le peintre Rolland Penrose et leur fils Anthony. Souffrant de stress post-traumatique, déprimée, fragile elle fait de cette maison une nouvelle bulle de création. Cette ferme devient la maison des surréalistes, l'endroit où les amis de Paris, de Londres ou d'ailleurs se retrouvent, leur refuge et l'endroit où elle organise l'oubli, et sa reconstruction.

La cuisine, Lee Miller s'était formée à Paris et Londres à l'institut du Cordon bleu. Une passion dévorante, créatrice, Lee Miller ne fait rien à moitié. Elle s'engage entièrement dans cet art qui rassemble, nourrit, exprime et soutient. À sa table ses amis, peintress sculpteurs poètes, Picasso Max Ernest, ses amis surréalistes rencontrés à Paris, à Londres, ou ailleurs : c'est leur refuge aussi, elle y organise l'oubli. Une pièce de la maison est dédiée à son impressionnante collection de livres de cuisine : plus de 2 000 ouvrages. De ses mille vies de Lee Miller, l'histoire n'a failli retenir que la muse, si son fils n'avait pas retrouvé dans le grenier de Farley's farm à la mort de sa mère toutes ses archives, photos, négatifs, carnets. Elles sont précieusement conservées et voyagent le temps d'exposition comme la rétrospective du MAM à Paris. La beauté est un atout complexe, elle inspire, mais peut figer aussi, emprisonner, cataloguer, or Lee Miller est une artiste, entière, rebelle et libre. Fascinante.

Il est tard lorsque Man Ray quitte son studio photo. Les journées sont interminables, surtout maintenant que sa compagne a pris son indépendance en travaillant dans son propre studio photo. Lee lui manque ; autant l'amante que l'assistante. Ne plus l'avoir sous les yeux toute la journée crée un vide en lui. Même si son nouvel atelier n'est qu'à quelques rues du sien. Mais comment lui reprocher de prendre son envol artistique ? Cette femme a un talent fou et c'est pour ça que Man Ray l'aime aussi passionnément… quand il ne la jalouse pas.

Il est 15h30 et sur la terrasse, quelques habitués boivent un café, le nez au soleil. Parmi eux, un homme très brun aux sourcils épais prend des notes sur un carnet. C'est Man Ray, artiste américain expatrié à Paris. En 1929, l'homme est déjà célèbre : photographe et réalisateur de génie, il appartient à la clique des artistes surréalistes qui font vibrer le tout Paris. Concentré sur son carnet, Man Ray ne voit pas s'approcher de lui la belle blonde qui vient de faire son apparition... Elle s'appelle Lee Miller.

ESSENTIEL – HISTOIRE – Emission présentée par Annette Wieviorka qui reçoit Marianne Amar, Historienne, spécialiste d'histoire visuelle pour parler de « Lee Miller. Femme libre et photographe » Hors-série Télérama. À propos du livre : « Lee Miller. Femme libre et photographe » paru dans le Hors-série de Télérama Il en a fallu du temps pour que l'Américaine Lee Miller (1907-1977) soit considérée pour ce qu'elle est. Pas seulement un superbe mannequin, une femme fatale, la muse de Man Ray, mais d'abord et avant tout une immense photographe, surréaliste jusqu'au bout des ongles. Portraitiste de studio racée, avant-gardiste affirmée, elle sut comme nulle autre régénérer la photo de mode alors que l'Angleterre se refusait à ployer sous les bombes allemandes, marier le surréalisme au photoreportage de guerre, témoigner de l'horreur des camps de concentration. Pour cela, elle n'a cessé de se battre avec les armes qu'elle avait à sa disposition : son talent bien sûr, mais aussi un art consommé de la rupture, avec une capacité à tout plaquer pour mieux se réinventer. C'est cette artiste en avance sur son temps, cette femme d'une liberté inouïe pour l'époque – à laquelle le Musée d'art moderne de Paris consacre une rétrospective —, que nous vous invitons à découvrir à travers ce hors-série. À mille lieues des clichés qui lui ont trop longtemps été accolés.

¿Es posible que la belleza más extrema nazca de la tiranía y la tragedia? En este episodio, nos sumergimos en la mente de Guy Bourdin, el fotógrafo que revolucionó la moda al entender que lo que nos seduce no es la prenda, sino su imagen.Desde su infancia marcada por la desconexión familiar en una brasserie de París, hasta su persistencia legendaria para convertirse en el protegido de Man Ray, exploramos cómo Bourdin fusionó el surrealismo con la fotografía comercial para crear un lenguaje visual sin precedentes.En este episodio analizamos:La Revolución Charles Jourdan: Cómo obtuvo "Carta Blanca" para crear anuncios tan prestigiosos que las revistas los publicaban gratis.Maestría Técnica y Peligro: Su pasado como fotógrafo aéreo en Dakar y su pionera técnica de usar flashes gigantes a plena luz del día para crear sombras duras y misteriosas.El Lado Oscuro del Set: Las historias de modelos al borde del colapso, sesiones en vías de tren reales y su obsesión enfermiza por la perfección técnica.Vida y Obra Macabra: La sombra del suicidio y la tragedia que rodeó a sus parejas, y cómo llegó a recrear la muerte de su propia esposa en una fotografía de moda.El Legado y el Plagio de Madonna: El famoso pleito legal por el videoclip "Hollywood" y cómo su estética sigue viva en artistas como David LaChapelle y Sarah Moon.Concluimos con una reflexión necesaria: en la industria ética y colaborativa de hoy, ¿tendría cabida un genio con métodos tan dictatoriales o sería silenciado antes de llegar a la imprenta?.Acompáñanos en este viaje por los temas de Eros y Tánatos (deseo y muerte) que definieron a un artista iniguala
This is an extraordinary edition of Rosebud - from the first memory to the last, it is peppered with legendary names, great artists and wild stories. Which isn't surprising, as our guest is Antony Penrose, the son of the celebrated photographer and model Lee Miller and the Surrealist artist, writer and historian Sir Roland Penrose.Antony tells Gyles about his mother, Lee Miller: how she was discovered on the streets of Manhattan and became one of the supermodels of the 1930s, trained as a photographer, and then moved to Paris to become a student and muse of the photographer Man Ray. He describes her independent spirit, her adventurous love life, and her first marriage to the Egyptian businessman Aziz Eloui Bey. He talks about Lee's life in Cairo, her second marriage to Roland Penrose, and her extraordinary war years, when she used her camera to take fearless and unforgettable pictures of the aftermath of WW2. Antony talks about his mother's descent into alcoholism and his own chequered relationship with her, and their eventual reconciliation. This really is one of the most brilliant interviews we've ever recorded for Rosebud and is well worth your time.A brilliant exhibition of Lee Miller's work is currently showing at Tate Britain in London until February 15. Kate Winslet's film Lee, which is discussed by Antony and Gyles, is also well worth watching. Antony Penrose's book The Lives of Lee Miller is fascinating and is available here. Farleys House, Miller and Penrose's house in West Sussex, is open to the public - tickets are available here.Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube here. Join The Rosebud Family here.

Da New York a Parigi, dai ritratti di Picasso allo D-Day, dalle copertine di Vogue ai campi di concentramento, la vita di Lee Miller è una storia eccezionale.Modella, musa e artista, fotografa e reporter di guerra, Lee Miller ha attraversato il Novecento con uno sguardo surreale. Collaboratrice e compagna di Man Ray protagonista della stagione surrealista parigina accanto a Picasso e Dalí, è stata una delle pochissime donne accreditate come fotografa di guerra dall'esercito americano. Le sue immagini dei bombardamenti, della liberazione dei campi di concentramento e della fine del nazismo hanno segnato in modo indelebile la storia del fotogiornalismo. Eppure, dopo la guerra, Lee Miller sceglie il silenzio: si ritira in Inghilterra, lontano dalla sua macchina fotografica, come se quella lente avesse visto troppo. Per anni, la sua opera rischia di scomparire, dimenticata in una soffitta. A riportarla alla luce sarà il figlio, Antony Penrose. Un rapporto difficile, segnato dal silenzio acolico della madre, che si trasforma in una vera e propria missione di vita: ricostruire la storia di sua madre, restituirle voce e giustizia. Attraverso archivi, testimonianze e una lunga ricerca personale, Penrose riannoda i fili di una biografia complessa, fatta di coraggio e ferite profonde. Questo documentario radiofonico racconta la storia di Lee Miller-Penrose attraverso le parole di Antony Penrose. Un radiodocumentario che non è solo il ritratto di una grande fotografa, ma il racconto di come il dolore di un figlio, se affrontato, possa trasformarsi in testimonianza e memoria collettiva.

“Non so più se agivo bene o male. Mi sentivo perseguitata. Non ero più sicura di niente. Mettevo in discussione tutto quello che avevo fatto e che facevo. (…) E poi nell'ottobre del 1954, la crisi terminò da un minuto all'altro, senza motivi esterni. Ora so che quella crisi era necessaria, era la base della mia crescita futura”. È un passaggio tratto dall'autobiografia di Meret Oppenheim – appena pubblicata dalle edizioni Casagrande in traduzione italiana: un testo incompleto e mai pubblicato, eppure il testo autobiografico più completo redatto dall'artista nell'ultima fase della sua vita, trascorsa a seguire la propria vocazione, sfidando convenzioni sociali e radicati pregiudizi. Un racconto sintetico, controllato, quasi distaccato dei momenti salienti del suo percorso artistico e personale; dalle sessioni delle famose fotografie per Man Ray, alla separazione da Max Ernst alla genesi di opere iconiche come Colazione in pelliccia. Un racconto sorprendente che fornisce una chiave ulteriore per accedere alla sua opera multiforme e il suo pensiero. Voci dipinte a colloquio con la storica dell'arte Martina Corgnati. Per la mostra della settimana Lou Lepori ci porta alla scoperta dell'art déco, laddove tutto è cominciato, esattamente cento anni fa al Musée des arts décoratifs d Parigi.

Un racconto sintetico, controllato, quasi distaccato dei momenti salienti del suo percorso artistico e personale; dalle sessioni delle famose fotografie per Man Ray, alla separazione da Max Ernst alla genesi di opere iconiche come Colazione in pelliccia. Un racconto sorprendente che fornisce una chiave ulteriore per accedere alla sua opera multiforme e il suo pensiero. Voci dipinte a colloquio con la storica dell'arte Martina Corgnati. Per la mostra della settimana Lou Lepori ci porta alla scoperta dell'art déco, laddove tutto è cominciato, esattamente cento anni fa al Musée des arts décoratifs d Parigi.

Kiki de Montparnasse (1901-1953) inspired Man Ray and many other painters, photographers and sculptors. An artist herself, she impressed critics with her paintings and made waves with her risqué memoirs. She was a dazzling socialite and style icon, a true “it-girl” of Bohemian Paris.For the past six years, we've been telling the stories of women you may or may now know– but definitely should.

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle discuss muses...Despite having an anti-feminist spasm about the whole concept of muses, this week Michelle dives in to look at the life of Marianne Ihlen, a Norwegian woman who was the muse to three different men! When Marianne met a guy called Axel Jensen, it set her on a path to Hydra, which led her to meeting Leonard Cohen and having an almost decade-long relationship with him. The inspiration for many songs, Marianne and Leonard's story runs the gamut of emotions, culminating in an email that set the internet on fire...Geordie follows with a little history lesson on Greek muses before looking at the life of the coolest girl in the world, Chloe Sevigny. Authentic and independent, Geordie digs into what makes her a modern-day muse. She then looks at the tragic life of Edie Sedgwick, before ending with the life of art muse, Kiki de Parnasse - the woman behind the surrealist photographer Man Ray. So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chat about people pleasers, fleeces and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

In this episode of Historical Happy Hour, bestselling author Serena Burdick joins host Jane Healey to discuss her latest novel, A Promise to Arlette. Inspired by the bohemian life of Burdick's grandmother—who was a muse to Man Ray and lived with Henry Miller in Big Sur—the novel blends art-world mystique, postwar trauma, and a rich exploration of female friendship and love. Set in both conservative 1950s Massachusetts and pre-WWII France, the story unfolds through a mysterious photograph and a buried past. Burdick and Healey delve into the research, historical figures, narrative structure, and the emotional weight of returning from war, offering listeners a deep look into the creative process behind this sweeping dual-timeline historical fiction.
Et si Paris et Sydney se répondaient à travers l'objectif ? L'exposition “Man Ray et Max Dupain” au Heide Museum of Modern Art crée une rencontre inédite entre le surréalisme parisien et le modernisme australien. Emmanuelle de l'Ecotais, historienne et co‑commissaire, nous raconte comment ces deux visions de la photographie ont bousculé leur époque… et mis en lumière les femmes qui se cachaient derrière l'objectif.

Julio Cortázar anota en su copia de estas memorias de Man Ray una referencia que le llama la atención: Emak Bakia. Carmen Dalmau, historiadora del arte y comisaria, y Oskar Alegría, cineasta y documentalista, autor de la película “La casa Emak Bakia”, nos ayudan a entender esta referencia (que en euskera significa «déjame en paz» o «déjame solo»). Y, por el camino, a profundizar en la vida y la obra del gran Man Ray.
USA Today bestselling author Serena Burdick is living proof that creative success doesn't follow a straight line. In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, Serena shares how her journey from aspiring actor to celebrated novelist came with plenty of unexpected twists—including returning to waiting tables in her 40s while raising kids and chasing her dream. With honesty and humor, she opens up about the realities of artistic life, the power of resilience, and the value of believing in your own story—especially when others don't see it yet. We dive into Serena's new book, A Promise to Arlette, and the fascinating real-life inspiration behind it—her grandmother's connection to avant-garde photographer Man Ray and a long-lost nude photograph that sparked a fictional journey through postwar France and conservative 1950s America. Serena talks about balancing fiction with history, channeling her theatrical background into richly drawn characters, and navigating the emotional tightrope of writing stories that sometimes go to very dark places. This is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wanted to rewrite their own story. Connect with Serena Burdick:

Born in 1890 to an aristocratic family in Rome, Elsa's life was anything but conventional. As a child, she released a box of fleas under her parents' dinner table and later staged a hunger strike to escape a Swiss convent. After a whirlwind marriage to a charming con man, she found herself as a single mother in New York, scraping by while mingling with avant-garde artists like Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. It wasn't until she moved to Paris and met legendary designer Paul Poiret that she discovered her true calling: inventing fashion. From surrealist collaborations with Salvador Dalí to creating her signature shocking pink, Schiaparelli defied norms, blending wit, art, and bold femininity. She gave us iconic designs like the lobster dress, the shoe hat, and the first wrap dress. A pioneer who refused to play by the rules, Elsa didn't just make clothes—she made statements.Follow Darrian@iamdarrian ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Sub to the PPM Patreon to access the entire 3 hour runtime of CULT OF CAGE PT. II: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping (Full notes viewable via the link) An impromptu Halloween session w/ Orion St. Peter gave birth to this Nicolas Cage dbl feature—in which we discuss occult, cultic, & PTK themes in the loosely defined horror films "Longlegs" & "Mandy", tentpoles of the late Cage capitalism debt-induced “renaissance”. We dig deep into the interplay between the "Longlegs" narrative and director Oz Perkins's personal esoteric & intergenerational familial trauma history, sussing out the sources of inspiration in his own highly strange, quasi-aristocratic pedigree. For ex, his great-grandpa "Count" Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor, a psychic detective cum spy in the mold of PPM usual suspects Aleister Crowley or Erik Jan Hanussen who was a member of the Theosophical Society, an avid spiritualist, and supposedly the medium who prophesied tabloid journo & anti sex trafficking crusader W.T. Stead's death on the Titanic... We discuss his Italian great-gma, world-conquering designer (aka Chanel's rival) Elsa Schiaparelli & her affiliations with Dadaists & Surrealists like Dalí and Man Ray, not to mention the fact the de Gaulle government suspected her of collaborating with the 3rd Reich. We unpack how psychic detective de Kerlor appeared on the scene in New Hampshire to "investigate" a murder that two BOI agents linked to German espionage in the Northeast during WWI, and we discuss how de Kerlor & Schiaparelli would be surveilled & interviewed, Wilhelm seemingly under suspicion of serving as a foreign agent. These fascinating, little known histories re Oz Perkins's ancestors are an obvious touchpoint for the clairvoyant FBI agent Lee Harker in the glam Satanic serial-killing-by-sympathetic-magick-or-mind-control flick "Longlegs". We also talk about how it's conceivably 9/11 as Mass Ritual pilled, seeing as Oz's mom Berry Berenson died on Flight 11 on 9/11, which gives one a headrushing vertiginous feeling indeed... Seeing as she's descended from this Theosophist spy. Her BDay is repeatedly woven into the sigilistic & algorithmic subtext of the film. And we also discuss how, on the patrilineal side of Oz's family, his Dad Anthony Perkins's confessed childhood Oedipal complex, the early wished-for death of his father, his lifelong closeted life, and his ultimate succumbing to AIDs... How all of this informed the emotionally-charged, cathartic film & its unspoken traumatic seeds... As we go, our analysis of the film begins to force us to confront a theory where a kind of unstated CSA blackhole is the source of the the Longlegs mystery's gravitational pull. We talk: Mandy dir. Cosmatos's father George Pan Cosmatos's final film “The Shadow Conspiracy” which concerns a pres assassination by drone; both Panos & his Dad having Pan in their names; the Mansonian failed songwriter vibes of both villains Jeremiah Sands & Longlegs; the Mandy scene where a planned ritualized orgy lubricated with “the chemist's best batch” & hallucinogenic wasp injections derails when Mandy openly clowns on the cult leader; Longlegs's character obvs nodding at glam Satanism, Marc Bolan, & David Bowie's infamous “Station to Station”, Dion Fortune-informed exorcism of his possessed indoor pool in what was once stripper & burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee's LA manse; Longlegs's cinematic influences - Fincher fare like Se7en, Zodiac, etc; Silence of the Lambs; Don't Look Now; Altman; Twin Peaks; The Omen; New French Extreme; Gaspar Noe; & Phantasm Many thanks to Orion for jumping on for this spooky dbl feature at such short notice.

Jennifer Coates, friend of the pod, is back to help me consider a new way forward (artwise) after the destabilizing event of the US election. She, herself, is finding comfort in the long history of rocks, geology and the cosmos, while I find myself turning to a book about how Matisse and his daughter, Marguerite, both reacted to the trauma of WWII in opposite yet valid ways. It's a bit of a potpourri, but we promise some great galvanizing art historical quotes and an inspiring double pep talk for the ages. Alternative title of ep: Rock Paper Scissors!

She could be seen strutting through Venice in the dark of night, with nothing but a fur coat on, as she walked her two pet cheetahs. Once described “as beautiful as a black panther, and also as dangerous”, this mysterious woman was one of the wealthiest and most outlandish characters in all of the 20th century.In this episode we share the incredible life story of the Marchesa Luisa Casati, an Italian heiress who used her fortune to create a life of her wildest imagination. She was also one of the most important patrons of her time. She was painted by Giovanni Boldini, photographed by Man Ray, and sculpted by Jacob Epstein. It's believed that Luisa commissioned over two hundred separate portraits of herself, with the aim to “commission her immortality”.ArtMuse is produced by Kula Production Company.

The Best of HackedePicciotto (Live in Napoli) is Alexander Hacke and Danielle De Pictiotto's newest release showcasing live interpretations of music from across their career. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: Keepsakes (2023), a tender exploration of friendship and loss, The Silver Threshold (2021), their defiant reaction to the pandemic, Perseverantia (2016), which dealt with the artists nomadic lifestyle, Menetekel (2017), which embodies their collective despair at the state of the world, and powerful energy of The Current (2020), recorded by the Irish Sea. For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been developing and evolving a symbiotic working practise together, with a deep intuition of the kind that has distinguished a rare number of creative and romantic partnerships – think of the writers Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, the artists Lee Miller and Man Ray or heroes of independent filmmaking, Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes – each partnership underlined by a creative equality that allowed both artists freedom to explore and expand. https://www.Instagrm.com/hackedepicciotto https://www.Facebook.com/hackepicciotto https://www.hackedepicciotto.bandcamp.com Website: https://www.hackedepicciotto.de Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones.

Antony Penrose grew up knowing little about his remarkable mother Lee Miller, who had studied with Man Ray in Paris, and become a model, a photographer, and a war correspondent. But then an unexpected find in the family attic changed everything. (R)
In this special episode, artist Kedisha Coakley joins EMPIRE LINES live at the Hepworth Wakefield in West Yorkshire, connecting their work from Jamaican and Black diasporic communities across the UK, with their research into sculptor Ronald Moody, uncovering shared interests in Ancient Egypt, indigenous Caribbean cultures, and questions of restitution. Born in Brixton, and based in Sheffield, Kedisha Coakley's practice spans sculpture, glassmaking, and wallpaper printed with blocks of braided hair. Commissioned for an exhibition about Ronald Moody, one of the most significant artists working in 20th century Britain, their new installation is set between his large-scale figurative wood sculptures from the 1930s, and post-war experimentations with concrete and resin casting. From Kedisha's bronze afro-combs influenced by historic Taino cultures, we journey from objects held in the British Museum, to mahogany relief sculptures by major influences like Edna Manley. With audio transcripts, we discuss Moody's BBC radio broadcasts for Calling the West Indies produced by Una Marson, particularly ‘What is called Primitive Art?' (1949). Kedisha shares Moody's interest in primitivism, present in ancient Egyptian, Greek, Indian, and ‘oriental' Chinese cultural forms, as well as Gothic and Renaissance works from Western/Europe. We look at photographs from Kedisha's studio, exploring ‘African masks' in the work of European modernists like Man Ray and Pablo Picasso, and the often marginalised role of religion and spirituality in Black and diasporic art practices. Kedisha also details her wider practice in ‘Horticultural Appropriation', working with breadfruit, flowers, plants, and the natural environment, connecting with Moody's description of Jamaica's Blue Mountains and sea. We consider Moody's place in British art history, drawing from his contemporaries Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Jacob Epstein, and Elizabeth Frink, as well as the group known as the Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), of which Moody was a founding member.. As a self-described ‘mature student', we look at Kedisha's pursuit of independent, adult education, the role of market cultures and fashion, and the work of women taking care of history.

Ecoutez la suite du récit de Virginie Girod consacré à Lee Miller, photographe et muse du siècle dernier.L'on aurait tort de la réduire à son image. Née aux Etats-Unis au début du XXe siècle, la photographe Lee Miller (1907-1977) eut mille vies que l'on découvre aujourd'hui au cinéma, avec Kate Winslet dans le rôle-titre. Muse des surréalistes à Paris dans les années 1930, elle s'empare à son tour d'un appareil photo pour capturer l'Histoire en marche et les atrocités de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Depuis sa naissance en 1907, Lee Miller prend la pose. D'une beauté à couper le souffle, elle est également dotée d'un caractère de feu. Souhaitant embrasser une carrière de photographe, elle choisit l'américain Man Ray comme mentor et évolue un temps aux côtés des surréalistes, à Paris. Alors que sa carrière décolle, Lee Miller épouse un riche égyptien mais vite lassée de la vie au foyer, elle quitte son mari et s'installe à Londres avec son nouvel amant, l'artiste Roland Penrose. Quand la Seconde Guerre mondiale éclate, elle travaille comme photographe pour le magazine américain Vogue. En 1942, Lee Miller devient l'une des rares femmes correspondantes de guerre pour l'US Army...Thèmes abordés : photographie, photojournalisme, surréalisme, Seconde Guerre mondiale, nazisme Au cœur de l'Histoire est un podcast Europe 1- Présentation et écriture : Virginie Girod- Production : Armelle Thiberge et Morgane Vianey- Réalisation : Nicolas Gaspard- Composition des musiques originales : Julien Tharaud et Sébastien Guidis- Promotion et coordination des partenariats : Marie Corpet- Visuel : Sidonie Mangin Bibliographie :Clara Bouveresse, Femmes photographes, l'ouverture des possibles, Actes SudRessources en lignes :Marianne Amar, "Lee Miller au miroir de la guerre", Vingtième Siècle.

This back to school season, we're bringing back some of our favorite Womanica episodes you might have missed. Today's Womanican is Lee Miller (1907-1977). She was legendary for her beauty, which was captured on film by Jean Cocteau, painted by Pablo Picasso, and photographed by Man Ray. However, she was also a talented photographer, writer, and one of the only female war correspondents to be credentialed during World War II. For Further Reading: Harriet Martineau The Victorian Woman Writer Who Refused to Let Doctors Define Her Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) This month, we're heading back to school – and we're taking you along with us! For all of September, we'll be bringing back some of our favorite Womanica episodes you might have missed. You'll hear me – and some talented guest hosts – share both iconic and under-appreciated stories. But there's a twist... each week is dedicated to a different school subject. This week: Women you should be learning about in social studies classes! History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, and Adrien Behn.

Claire Tole-Moir is Head of Popular Culture at Bonhams, the world-famous auction house in London. On a daily basis, she is in direct contact with some of the most iconic and culturally impactful works of modern art, sculpture, photography, film and artist memorabilia of the last century. So if you fancy a Man Ray photograph; a golden ticket from the original Charlie and The Chocolate Factory film; if you've got your eye on John Lennon's mosaic swimming pool; or maybe Roger Moore's silver Dupont cigar lighter, Claire and her team can make that happen for you. All you have to do is submit the winning bid. And then, there are the guitars… Let me tell you about the guitars! We're talking serious instruments owned by iconic musicians: The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Joy Division, Radiohead, Judas Priest, Jeff Beck, Slash, Peter Green...the list is ever-growing. Which to my mind begs the question: What's it like, being responsible for the sale of guitars that have changed the history of modern music and impacted our global culture on a seismic level? Well, there's only one way to find out! I met up with Claire Tole-Moir at Bonhams in Knightsbridge London. There was a palpable sense of excitement as it had recently been made public that Bonhams is about to handle the sale of one of the most immediately recognizable guitars on earth, Rory Gallagher's extraordinary Fender Stratocaster! Yes, THAT STRAT! I think you'll agree that's pretty awesome. So join us now at Bonhams in the heart of London to find out more.
