Alfred Eisenstaedt :: This image ran with the following caption: “Garish advertising signs are faithful copies of US huckstering. These signs partially obscuring Milan Cathedral, advertise a motor oil (top) and two U.S. movies. Middle one feature Abbott and Costello, whom Italians call Cianni e Pinotto. Posters like this emphasize commercial activity of Milan, which is the shopping center of Italy.”

Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet) is a ballet developed by Oskar Schlemmer. It premiered in Stuttgart, on 30 September 1922, with music composed by Paul Hindemith, after formative performances dating back to 1916, with the performers Elsa Hotzel and Albert Berger. The ballet became the most widely performed avant-garde artistic dance and while Schlemmer was at the Bauhaus from 1921 to 1929, the ballet toured, helping to spread the ethos of the Bauhaus. / src: light color sound
