Austin Spare was something of an
l'enfant terrible, revered and scorned. In 1956 he persuaded this cat burglar who dropped in one night through his skylight, to stay and have his portrait drawn.

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621), composer, organist, and pedagogue.
#Opdezedag in 1621 werd Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck begraven in het familiegraf in Amsterdam's Oude Kerk, graf 99. Hij was de organist van de kerk, componist, en -blijkbaar- een fantastische zanger; dat laatste leverde hem de bijnaam "de Orpheus van Amsterdam" op.
Reading Borges, Notting Hill.
London, October 29, 1968. Mick Jagger, in costume as the reclusive rock star Turner, at the window of a white Rolls-Royce while filming Performance in Notting Hill. According to the Daily Express, the car was on loan from John Lennon. Directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, the film cast James Fox as a gangster on the run who hides out in Turner's house, with Anita Pallenberg alongside them. Mick even wore a wig for the role. Performance was shot in 1968, but it didn't open until August 1970 in New York, and Mick's "Memo from Turner" became one of the highlights of the soundtrack.
👅 Mick played a reclusive rock star called Turner. Which rock star made the best move into acting? 👅 👇️

#OnThisDay in 1849, Edgar Allan Poe passed away under mysterious circumstances. Of all the artists who gave life to Poe's macabre tales over the years, perhaps none captured them quite so brilliantly as the Irish artist Harry Clarke: publicdomainreview.org/colle… #OTD #EdgarAllanPoe
