John Foster,

This is an excellent collection. Delightfully intriguing. It is images like these that inspired me to become an artist. Thanks for sharing your discoveries.

Terrific collection this week! Who did the music in the Leger ballet? The rune stone (last image) is beautiful!

I saw/heard Ballet Mecanique "performed" by mechanized instruments at the National Gallery of Art a couple of years ago. Nice to see the Dada visuals! Thanks, John.

yeah, I doubt tumblr blogs are the "original source" for these images. Actual citations or at least identification of creator/artist/photographer would be helpful.
