Leading a ‘team of five million’ in New Zealand

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a global progressive icon, has been strikingly effective in coaxing New Zealanders to suspend their lives because of the coronavirus pandemic.
As New Zealand prepares for an election in September, our Sydney bureau chief writes about her leadership style, including her deft use of Facebook to craft a relationship with a population of five million that is “less saint and disciples, more friends or teammates.”

Wassily Kandinsky
Dance Curves: On the Dances of Palucca, 1926
Dancer and choreographer Gret Palucca (1902-1993) was a former student of Mary Wigman, the leading figure in German Expressionist dance. In 1925, Palucca opened her own dance studio in Dresden and developed close contacts with various Bauhaus instructors, many of whom greatly admired her dance style. Wassily Kandinsky’s four “analytical drawings,” which were based on photographs of Palucca by Charlotte Rudolph, illustrate how closely the dancer’s style coincided with the Bauhaus aesthetic. The drawings and photographs were published in the arts journal Das Kunstblatt in 1926. According to Kandinsky, Palucca’s “principal assets” were “1. Simplicity of the whole form, and 2. Construction of the large form.”

On May 24, 1893, the Brooklyn Bridge opened, providing the only land connection between Manhattan and Brooklyn. 🌉 ✨
At the opening ceremony, President Chester A. Arthur and New York Mayor Franklin Edson crossed the bridge, marked by celebratory cannon fire, with the pair greeted at the eastern end by Brooklyn Mayor Seth Low.⁣
On the first day alone, 1,800 vehicles and 150,300 people crossed the bridge. ⁣
The New York firm of Currier & Ives—who created this now-famous image—operated until 1907, lithographing more than 4,000 subjects for distribution across America and Europe. ⁣
Until the 1880s, images were printed in monochrome, then hand-colored by women who worked for the company at home. In the latter decades of the 19th century, as here, Currier & Ives began to print in color.⁣
