no solid info which works were exhibited when so its 1930s-1980s all the way except for a couple. hey, at least it is merely 50 year spread.
I used to work at the gallery and we had a showcase of local centennial artist who only stopped working during WW2 for a couple of years - and the rest of the body of work was undated and there was stuff from 1910s, 1930s, 1950s, 1970s, 1990s and 2000s all at once and we had to investigate by the peripherals to pin down the approximate date of the painting because the dude didn't cared and whenever we asked he would say "well, it's an old one... or so it seems... i don't really care, it's not falling apart" and then he would bring in a new one.

Slim Gaillard live on air in Toronto 1985

Gaillard is something of an outlier in music history because for much of his career he represented a kind of lost world - his act was heavily influenced by vaudeville and he came after the big band era but before the bebop so his works weren't falling into either category but instead of fading away he continued to work and doing his thing and later in life he finally got more recognition and a couple of retrospective comps in the Chronological Classics series. I'm itching at writing an article about the guy and i'm currently stuck at Detroit's racial segregation and the cultural environment it produced during the late 1910s, throughout 1920s up to 1930s. And that's only Slim's childhood. There's also New York and its stuff and so on. I guess it will be years before i get to his conlang.

ACLU ad from Playboy, August 1970 - kinda seems oddly prophetic
Reply in thread
the whole business plot and the way everybody just pretended it wasn't a thing was some serious bullshit as well - should've gone nuclear on these motherfuckers

and they decided to mess with one president who had a lot of executive power to make them regret trying their luck.

i've got a bunch of documentaries about at internet archive. His 4 part Civilisation series is a must watch. It's basically in-kayfabe Slim documentary and it goes hard.

well, it's modern Paris Review - you expect quality writing? not in 21st century, pal! cant have that. just write a couple of snide remarks about how the author cant be bothered to make an actual argument - a proper punching down.

The score is incredible, the themes are timeless, the set design and costumes are impeccable, the cinematography is unparalleled, and the plot is engrossing.
even the unused Alex North score goes hard as fuck.
