    Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.

    How to Be Avant-Garde - Modern...

    Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of World War I, avant-garde artists and writers sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. Following the evolution of these revolutionary groups, How to Be Avant-Garde charts its pioneers and radical ideas. 
     
     
     
    Avant-gardists challenged the confines of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas itself. Art historian Morgan Falconer starts with the Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto seeded avant-gardes across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought to replace art with political cabaret, and the Surrealists tried to exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious. He guides us through the Russian Constructivists with their adventures in advertising and utopianism and De Stijl with the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian. The Bauhaus broke more boundaries, transmuting art into architecture and design. Finally, the Situationists swapped art for politics, with their ideas inspiring the 1968 Paris student protests. 
     
     
     
    How to Be Avant-Garde is a journey through the interlocking networks of these creative lives with their visions of a better world, their sometimes sympathetic but often strange conversations, and their objects and writings that defied categorization.

    In the early 20th century, Westerns were one of the most popular genres in Hollywood, and one of the young stars at the forefront was Roy Rogers, who had come from an Ohio farm to transform himself into a cowboy. Regardless of his background, Rogers certainly looked the part of the quintessential cowboy, along with his wife Dale Evans and his horse Trigger. His versatile singing and acting abilities made him successful both on radio and on the screen. 
    Rogers came of age at a time when the “singing cowboy” was at the apex of his popularity, and that was favorable because he actually got his start in show business as a singer. In the early ‘30s, he bounced around several groups as a country music singer before earning national attention as a member of the Sons of the Pioneers, who were signed to Decca and had a couple of hits. As a result, when he first appeared in movies in 1935, it was usually in bit roles that required singing, but when Gene Autry threatened to quit acting in 1938, Rogers was viewed as a suitable replacement for lead roles. As it turned out, he became the premiere “singing cowboy” in Autry’s stead, and from 1939-1954, he was one of the Top 10 Western stars in Hollywood, and a Top 10 movie star overall during some of those years. 
    As Rogers evolved into the “King of the Cowboys”, he became a pop culture icon, and he was shrewd enough to capitalize on his image. All sorts of Roy Rogers merchandise hit stores, from action figures to comic strips, and Rogers even banked on the popularity of his horse Trigger by featuring him enough to make the horse a household name as well. Even today, people can find the name Roy Rogers all over the place, if only because he eventually had his name lent to a popular fast food chain in later years.

    CATCH ME IF YOU CAN 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 biographical crime film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. The movie follows the young con artist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, as he successfully impersonates various professionals, including a pilot, doctor, and lawyer, all while forging checks worth millions of dollars. Tom Hanks stars as Carl Hanratty, an FBI agent relentlessly pursuing Frank. The film explores themes of deception, identity, and the complexities of trust, blending suspense with moments of humor and emotional depth as the cat-and-mouse chase unfolds. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Cameo Appearance: The real-life Frank Abagnale, Jr. plays the French officer who arrests Frank on Christmas Eve, 1969.” 
      
    “The FBI agent that pursued Frank Abagnale, Jr., and inspired the character of Carl Hanratty was Joe Shea. Frank Abagnale used the pseudonym "Sean O'Reilly" in his book because Joe Shea was still working in the FBI at that time.” 
      
    “Contrary to what is shown in the movie, Frank Abagnale never had a personal relationship with any FBI agents, nor did he contact them every Christmas. As he points out, "Why would I do that? I didn’t want them to know where I was." 
      
    “Initially, Frank Abagnale didn’t believe Leonardo DiCaprio was "suave" enough to portray him, until he saw the actor's performance.”
