The Americans (1958) by Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) is a wall fresco in eight parts, measuring over 70 metres in length, inspired by the ‘American way of life’. #TheAmericans #SaulSteinberg #Brussels #Expo58 #FineArtsBelgium #RMFAB #MRBAB #KMSKB

"Marche de l'atomium" - Grande Harmonie De Bruxelles
The theme to Expo '58, a grand exposition in Brussels to mark International Geophysical Year.
The Expo's enduring symbol is the Atomium, a giant structure of an iron crystal. It also gave us Lucien de Roeck's star, which I use as an icon almost everywhere.

@sternecker I didn’t know about #KennethAnger until thursday. I was in #Brussels when I accidentally connected some dots of the stories I know of my father, who had a very late #comingOut. He worked at #Expo58 in Brussels as a young man and his favorite music was the #glagoliticMass, which must have seemed very exotic and foreign back then.
It became one of my favorites, too.
I’d love to find and talk to other people who were there but only few would still be alive today.
