The Lost Beatles Photographs by Larry Marion

29 Mar

An intimate, revealing look at the legendary band, documented in a series of personal, never-before-seen photographs taken during The Beatles’ three U.S. tours—the largest single trove of such important unknown rock photographs ever uncovered

In the early 1960s, four working-class lads from Liverpool invaded America, igniting a cultural revolution that would transform a generation and change the world. During that time, few were closer to The Beatles than Bob Bonis, the tour manager for all three U.S. tours, 1964, 1965, and 1966. While on the road with the Fab Four, Bonis, a passionate amateur photographer with a keen eye, an innate sense of composition, and a deep love for his subjects, snapped some nine hundred photographs of the band—a remarkable collection that until now has only been known to family and close friends.

Photographic Master -Raghu Rai

26 Mar

Over his 40-year career as one of India’s most respected photographers, Raghu Rai has captured his native land in good times and bad, richly depicting the increasing complexity of living in what is now one of the world’s most rapidly developing countries. Equally adept at humorously evoking the day-to-day rituals and activities of Indian life (his breakthrough photograph, published in the UK’s The Times in 1966, was of a donkey that he had spent hours chasing across farmland) as he is at sensitively depicting the horrors of disasters such as the toxic spill in Bohal in 1984, Rai was invited to join the Magnum photographic agency in 1977, and has since been decorated with a string of international prizes. London’s Aicon gallery is currently mounting a retrospective of his work.

Jeff Koons Must Die!!! The Video Game

26 Mar





From Wallstreet to the forefront of the pop art movement, Jeff Koons has endured a great deal of controversy over his career. From his perception of art based on his creations to his proclamation of all things balloon animals as his own, Hunter Jonakin has his own insight with “Jeff Koons Must Die!!! The Video Game”. Locked in a museum, you’re given the ability to wreak havoc on Koons’ work as well as himself which is in itself a controversial bit of commentary.

Photographer John Moore on ‘Epic’ Libya Battles, Arab World Revolutions

25 Mar

Photographer John Moore is no stranger to combat. As a member of an Associated Press team in 2005, he shared a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for coverage of the war in Iraq and he’s done extended stints in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, South Africa, Mexico and Nicaragua and elsewhere in the last 20 years.

Yet despite his relative comfort with being on the frontlines, Moore told the NewsHour from his hotel room in Cairo that his latest assignment -a six-week trip that took him to the uprisings in Egypt, Bahrain and Libya – might have been his most dangerous. Moore recorded the interview for us after sneaking out of Benghazi, Libya en route back to his home in Denver.

Parra

25 Mar


The name Parra should resonate with any person relatively well-versed in the realm of street culture.

Back in the day Parra used to be a professional skateboarder and was part of the famous “Fret Click” crew. After focusing on skateboarding, Parra started to focus on drawing which he also studied for a while. He moved to Amsterdam a couple of years later to do an internship where he learned the basic principles of illustrating and graphic design. Ever since Parra came to Amsterdam, he reinvented himself and made a huge amount of work in a short period of time. His humorous, illustrative, colorful, characteristic, hand drawn typographic signature style was found on a ton of print work, posters and flyers throughout the city of Amsterdam.


His first solo show in London got him signed on the London based agency Big Active, which generated many opportunities. Parra got the chance to work on big commercial projects next to his own projects. His work buzzed around the internet heavily while doing popular solo exhibitions in New York, LA, Milan, Paris and Berlin.
