#interbellum

The straight line silhouette is typical of the 1920s, the clever, zigzag piecing of the fabric more common after 1925 as the Art Deco aesthetic took hold. Loose, fluttering bias-cut ruffles became popular right around 1926 and got more and more fluttery as the decade progressed. Bright, cheerful colors in lightweight silks were fashionable the entire decade.

The spirit needs blood, for it is life itself, it doesn't need consciousness. In dramatic and creative moments, in moments when life's energy is amplified consciousness turns off. Divine inspiration, ecstasy, when according to mystics the soul unites with God, when the individual enters the unconscious unity with the foundation of the world (Weltgrund), all of man's existence is constricted to a singular point, concentrated in a singular feeling. That's when the limits of life's capabilities are reached, life becomes spirit, spirit - life, differences are lost. Saint's delight, painless detachment of a martyr, love's passion, heat of battle, an artist's vision - all this speaks of the awakening of the deep will of life. It is said in Zarathustra "Write in blood and you will know that blood is spirit,” and it would sometimes seem as if Hebbel writes not with ink, but with blood and mind.

𝟭𝟯 𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘀

The “𝟭𝟯 𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘀” was a professional aerial exhibition team that started around 1925, advertising they would do ANYTHING for a price.

They performed primarily at air shows around Los Angeles and the Southwest but found their niche doing movie newsreels.

The group was based at the 𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙩 𝘼𝙞𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 located at Western Avenue and 104th Street in Los Angeles (present-day Inglewood), where many worked as pilots and mechanics.
