Sade Ami and i went to the Neue Galerie to check out the Vienna exhibition. i was introduced to Alfred Kubin and Egan Schiele’s work, both painters in the 1900s.

here is Kubin…

here is Schiele…

they were also viewing old film footage from Saturn Films a production company, founded by Johann Schwarzer in 1906, that made erotic short films. they are saucy and weird, three naked women in a garden playing a game of “catch the ring” with sticks. the women were very voluptous, which both Sade and i enjoyed. the catholic associations denounced Schwarzer as immoral in 1911, there was a court order, and i’m sure you can guess how it went from there. confiscation central. later that evening i had a good time comparing those “obsene” films from over a century ago with what i watched and photographed a few hours later. which i will tell you all about in a minute.
