How am I only just learning that Dürer also made small drawings, such as this one in his letter to Willibald Pirckheimer. I don't know what I love more about this: how relatable it makes Dürer seem or that it also comes as a postcard #arthistory #earlymodern 🗃️

„Hier stehe ich also im Garten von Indira Gandhi. Es sind Vögel in den Bäumen."
Nur Minuten nach diesen Worten Peter Ustinovs, der die erste indische PM für BBC interviewen wollte, ertönten Schüsse. Gandhi starb vor 39 Jahren durch Kugeln ihrer Leibwächter.

Halloween? Gabs nicht, kannten wir nur ausm TV. Wir haben damals Zuckerrüben vom Feld geklaut, Rübengeister draus geschnitzt & sind von Haus zu Haus gezogen, weil es Tradition meines Vaters & seiner Kumpels von klein an war & weil es bei uns nicht einmal echte Kürbisse gab – aß man einfach nicht 👻😄
Bild zeigt mich (rechts) mit kleiner Schwester (links) wie wir selbstgeschnitzte Rübengeister in den Händen halten, ich "Buhuuu" mache & meine Schwester dazu kichert
