"Life Goes to a Party with the Tombstone Hounds" An article in the August 2, 1943 issue of "Life Magazine" about a group of people dedicated to documenting and preserving cemeteries in New Jersey.
Got to be honest here, when I visit old cemeteries, I don't wear a suit and tie.
Representing hope and freedom, a 25 foot, 6,000 pound statue named, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, by world-renowned artist, J. Seward Johnson, is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor, Carl Muscarello, kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.
Edith Shain, the nurse memorialized in Eisenstaedt’s photo, states, "There is so much romance in the statue; it gives such a feeling of hope to all who look at it."
“This statue brings back so many memories of peace, love and happiness. During the moment of the kiss I don’t remember much, it happened so fast and it happened at the perfect time. I didn’t even look at the Sailor who was kissing me,” Shain continued. “I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment like any woman would have done.”
For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego Bay. It was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Florida in 2006.

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”

At the time, Errol Flynn was starring in “Against All Flags” (Universal-International, 1952), a film he co-produced. Flynn played a British naval officer who poses as a deserter to trick a pirate (Maureen O’Hara) and her cohort (Anthony Quinn) in 1700 Madagascar.

by Andy Warhol
Acrylic paint and screenprint on canvas
Warhol often asked other people for ideas of what he should paint or film. For his return to painting, his art dealer suggested he depict the most ‘important’ person of the 20th century, such as scientist Albert Einstein. Instead, Warhol decided it should be Mao Zedong, because Life magazine suggested that he was the most famous person in the world and US president Richard Nixon had just visited him. Warhol transformed the official portrait of Mao, the leader of communist China, into a mass-produced product. In this series, Warhol allowed the paint to escape the limits of the photographic image. He developed this idea further in his commissioned portraits.

Andy Warhol
(March – November 2020)
A new look at the extraordinary life and work of the pop art superstar
Andy Warhol was the son of immigrants who became an American icon. A shy gay man who became the hub of New York’s social scene. An artist who embraced consumerism, celebrity and the counter culture – and changed modern art in the process.
He was born in 1928 as Andrew Warhola to working-class parents from present day Slovakia. In 1949 he moved from Pittsburgh to New York. Initially working as a commercial illustrator, his skill at transforming the imagery of American culture soon found its realisation in his ground-breaking pop art.
This major retrospective is the first Warhol exhibition at Tate Modern for almost 20 years. As well as his iconic pop images of Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola and Campbell’s soup cans, it includes works never seen before in the UK. Twenty-five works from his Ladies and Gentlemen series – portraits of black and Latinx drag queens and trans women – are shown for the first time in 30 years.
Popularly radical and radically popular, Warhol was an artist who reimagined what art could be in an age of immense social, political and technological change.

Over a thousand Chicagoans from all over the city, gathered at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by David Lang.
The photo was unpublished by Life Magazine. Adderley and Arbanas played in college together at Michigan State.
Let me explain.
When I choose shots to be included in my "I watch a lot of movies" set, I usually end up choosing between several different scenes.
I snapped up these two shots of actress Jill Schoelen in "The Stepfather", because of her unicorn/checkered-flag t-shirt, the 80's-ness of her bedroom's art direction, and the expression of the dog.
It was only when I looked at it later that I noticed the Life magazine behind her bed. This immediately reminded me of this found photo with the tiny hint of a Life magazine in its corner. Well, obviously, I had to identify this circa 1986-1987 Life magazine too. Obviously.
