For the illustrated, what stands out are Tony McDermott's classic album covers for recording engineer Scientist. Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires features a cacophony of monsters and ghouls, depicted like a scene from the myth of Orpheus, except the boat sailing down the River Styx supports Scientist and a Jamaican soundsystem.

Zeng was born in China and began studying Visual Communication at Shanghai Normal University in 2015. After working as a freelance artist and designer, Zeng moved to Germany to study at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. His artistic interest lies in the boundaries between documentary and fiction, and the self-referential nature of memory. "the internal crusade" is a reflection of Zeng's upbringing and education.

A metal spoon with a lathe-turned wooden handle. A toolkit so tiny it fits in your hand. An album cover from a Chuck Berry record. These are among the significant objects chosen by 22 senior poets that reflect their life experiences: work, people, place, wisdom, identity. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, the poets will gather at Mother Foucault's Book Shop in Portland to read the poems,

Robert remembers cold windy days in the Mission when many of its trees were little more than promising twigs in the ground! Since, he fell in love with the opinionated poets, artists, and eccentrics who enlivened the Cafe La Boheme. He hopes that others will find some of his photos as surprising as they are to him. Like his hero, Chiang Yee, the author of The Silent Traveller in San Francisco, Robert enjoys being an inconspicuous observer of the world as he discovers it.

Costume is a small boutique in Dublin's city centre, usually fronted with elegant window displays of beautifully dressed mannequins. Last October, however, Marguerite O'Molloy was passing on her way for a manicure and found something startlingly different. The shop is on Castle Market, a pedestrian shopping area, O'Molloy says. It's a really lively, cool area and a regular haunt of mine; I actually met my husband in the famous Grogan's Castle Lounge pub on the opposite corner.

In an era when contemporary culture tends to privilege immediacy, the archive offers resistance by inviting slowness, friction, and a longer view. In this three-part series, Document turns to curators Ruba Katrib, Jovanna Venegas, and Drew Sawyer, photographed on location, wearing Vowels, the brand that finds its own voice through archival research. Each of these curators places the archive at the center of their practice.

Gordon Matta-Clark is best known for his "cuttings" of abandoned and derelict structures in 1970s New York, which made open-air sculptures out of symbols of decay and were seen as an early exercise in deconstructivism. Besides slicing up piers and houses, he also founded an experimental gallery at 112 Greene Street in Soho and Food, the legendary artist-run restaurant that he co-created with Carol Goodden and Tina Girouard, which, like the building cuts, blurred the boundary between art-making and life.

As a dreamer, I use my camera as a paintbrush, seeking to capture the fleeting atmospheres that drift through my mind and inhabit my dreams.

Editorially, the magazine has a modern visual style that is as elegant as the chairs it features. Each issue promotes simplicity and ease in its reading style, opting for uncluttered information - a type of ergonomic reading experience that matches well to the serenity of sitting in a comfortable chair or the act of appreciating the artistic value of furniture. It's academic content with an accessible, contemporary visual voice.

I've been working in photography and video since I was 15 years old. I've been there at the start of a lot of peoples' careers and have seen how their egos change when they get famous, that really scares me. At one point, I felt like I was headed that way, and I decided to hide myself, he admits on a phone interview, his first with EL PAIS.

Here is another outstanding example, from writer-director Yemi Bamiro, about the remarkable career of Kwame Brathwaite, a photographer, musician and African American activist who was a unique politico-aesthete. With his brother Elombe, he virtually invented the phrase Black Is Beautiful in the 1960s by photographing the Grandassa Models in Harlem: young African American women who became the sensational template for beauty, doing away with the usual cosmetic products and the usual white standard of femininity.

The subject of photographer Whitney Browne's new book, Candy Store, is, foremost, Ray Alvarez's iconic shop on Avenue A, Ray's Candy Store. But it's also about the East Village neighborhood, it's a salute to the endurance of a small business owner who has endured economic and health crises, and Browne says, it's a tribute to who I was at that time.

Coreen Simpson-photographer, writer, jeweler-has done it all. Working for publications such as Essence, Unique New York, and The Village Voice, from the late 1970s onward, Simpson covered New York's art and fashion scenes, producing portraits of a wide range of Black artists, literary figures, and celebrities. Her iconic jewelry, the Black Cameo, has been worn by everyone from the model Iman to civil-rights leader Rosa Parks.

These boys were playing for Colebrook Royals, a football club in Chigwell, Essex. It was 2019 and they were in the dressing room before team practice for a photoshoot arranged by the charity YoungMinds. The plan was that, after the photos, the boys would speak to two dads Nick Easey and Ryan Smith who had lost their teenage sons to suicide. The fathers wanted the boys to share their own feelings about mental health, to normalise such conversations,

The thing is, the company I was working for had a dedicated photo team that provided beautiful, high-quality images with numerous contextual and action shots, perfect for web pages. So when what came to my desk was a classic full-page hero of an image with a gradient, I wasn't exactly surprised. But it did frustrate me that we couldn't come up with something more bold.

Sections of the book are separated with bold, majestic colours: royal blues, patriotic reds, nostalgic purples - and the centrefolds feature these colours climbing out onto the pages before diffusing like dissipating memories themselves. The first half of the book follows a sunset gradient before fading into black, echoing the daily rhythm of "public square dancers and the cultural metaphor of seniors as 'a generation of sunset'".

Unlike most scooter and motorcycle riders, summer has always been the season I ride the least. I've blamed the heat. Or the laziness I feel whenever the temperature rises into the upper 70s. Whatever it is I seem to come back to life when I can step outside in the morning with the temperature at 50. This summer was no different. But a few things were stirred into the mix
