Really Good Read

In the portrait studio I work in, we get numerous magazines and publications that I wouldn't consider picking up never mind purchasing...however, I am more than happy to spend a few mintues of the day flipping the pages discussing who looks good and how they acheived the lighting and how many different Kate Moss' there are. She is an idol simply for her chameleon abilities. One magazine we are all happy to part with money for this month is Vanity Fair's "The Art Issue." Now I've read some other blogs & reviews of this magazine & especially this issue. Focusing on the front cover of Brad Pitt standing in the rain in nothing but white boxer shorts. Questioning what VF are calling "art" & the following controversay with Mr. Pitt stating he did not agree to this image being used for the front cover (a year after it was shot). What they appeared to miss in my opinion are the articles inside. Take the time to read this issue & you will rediscover not only the known, classic & contemporary artist, but also fresh new emerging artists who you'll be sorry you didn't hear about before.
