A picture named hope3.jpgAnd now for some decent photography. Philippe Halsman: A Retrospective.

From the 1940s through the 1970s, Philippe Halsman's sparkling portraits of celebrities, intellectuals, and politicians appeared on the covers and pages of the big picture magazines, including Look, Esquire, the Saturday Evening Post, Paris Match, and especially Life . His work also appeared in advertisements and publicity for clients like Elizabeth Arden cosmetics, NBC, Simon & Schuster, and Ford. Photographers, amateur as well as professional, admired Halsman's stunning images.

The fellow on the left is Bob Hope, btw.

A picture named 30ddr-4.jpgSocialist Design. From the German Propaganda Archive: the 30th anniversary of the GDR, celebrated in posters.

Anniversaries were big events in the GDR. These posters come from material prepared for the 30th anniversary of the GDR in 1979. The points they make are a good summary of the the GDR's general propaganda line: a youthful, peace-loving, hard-working state that was strongly supported by its citizens. Found at netbib.
