  19.      <title>‘My role was to be a truthful witness’: photographer Jack Lueders-Booth’s Polaroids of American female prisoners</title>
  20.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/05/photographer-jack-lueders-booth-polaroids-women-prison</link>
  21.      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the 1970s, the photographer began teaching in a progressive US women’s prison and made moving portraits of many of the inmates. Looking back, he sees how many of them actually  felt safer in prison&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1970, aged 35, Jack Lueders-Booth left a well-paid management job at an insurance company in his native Boston, Massachusetts, to pursue his interest in photography. “Until then, I was a serious hobbyist,” he tells me over the phone from the city where he still lives, “but my interest had deepened to the point where it was more and more difficult to do my day job. I needed something more stimulating. Photography was my real vocation.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soon afterwards he landed a job as an administrator for the fledgling photography department at Harvard University, where later he also enrolled as a student. For his master’s thesis, he submitted a proposal that would alter the course of his life. “I told them I wanted to teach photography in places of confinement such as prisons and mental hospitals,” he elaborates, “I thought it would be beneficial for the inmates in all sorts of ways, not least because they could share their experience with their families through the images they made.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/05/photographer-jack-lueders-booth-polaroids-women-prison"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  60.      <title>‘Every Dylan song could be improved’: is perfection possible, or even desirable?</title>
  61.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/culture/article/2024/may/05/geoff-dyer-perfection-bob-dylan-tennis-darts-littler</link>
  62.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Much art, from Bob Dylan to Robert Frank, derives its greatness from its flaws. But sporting perfection is a whole different ball game&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m not one to boast but on a recent Sunday morning I achieved perfection. To be precise – and there is no perfection without precision – I was half of something perfectly achieved. On the second version of the song Love Sick – which only saw the light of day last year as part of the continuing series of official Bootleg releases – Bob Dylan says he’s “struggling, striving / For perfection”. Proof of the struggle and strife is the way that this declaration was absent from the first take and deleted from the subsequent version selected for the album &lt;em&gt;Time Out of Mind &lt;/em&gt;(1997). Despite what he claims, Dylan is not – and never has been – interested in perfection. He’s always been plunging on to the next line, the next verse, the next song. Yes, he looks forward, in another song, to the day when he’ll paint his masterpiece but on several occasions potential masterpieces were abandoned – She’s Your Lover Now, I’m Not There – because other imperfect masterpieces were soon jostling for attention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dylan has written more great songs than anyone in history but a condition of that greatness is that he was not hung up on perfecting any of them. Every version of every Dylan song could be improved. For each enhancement made to a song’s lyrics there’s a corresponding loss. He throws in wonderful lines, chucks out great lines and leaves terrible ones intact. His constant tampering with the lyrics is evidence not of perfectionism but of a restless hunger that is in some ways its opposite. In this respect he’s similar to the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/sep/10/robert-frank-obituary"&gt;photographer Robert Frank&lt;/a&gt;, who said that a book of photographs by Hermann Eidenbenz (in whose studio he worked) “put me off perfection for life”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/article/2024/may/05/geoff-dyer-perfection-bob-dylan-tennis-darts-littler"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  88.      <description>&lt;p&gt;A new exhibition asks us to look again at classic images of war, protest and revolution, and sheds light on manipulated photographs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Russian soldier raises a Soviet flag over Berlin’s Reichstag in Yevgeny Khaldei’s well-known 1945 photograph of wartime triumph.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in the original image, the officer standing below can clearly be seen wearing a watch on both wrists. Khaldei’s shot, first printed in a Moscow magazine, was quickly withdrawn and the extra watch, which might actually have been a military compass, was removed for safety’s sake. Looting was not a good look and was punishable by death.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/05/a-pictures-worth-a-thousand-words-but-only-some-of-them-tell-the-whole-truth"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  106.      <title>The big picture: author Paul Auster in his element</title>

  108.      <description>&lt;p&gt;The celebrated ​writer, who died last week, is captured​ by Arnold Newman in his study ​in 1993​ with his trusty Olympia manual typewriter​&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Few novelists ever inhabited their vocation with more conviction than &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/may/01/paul-auster-dies-aged-77-death-american-author-new-york-trilogy"&gt;Paul Auster&lt;/a&gt;, who died last week of lung cancer at the age of 77. This picture, taken in 1993 by Arnold Newman, captured the writer in his element and among the objects that defined him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author of &lt;em&gt;The New York Trilogy&lt;/em&gt; is pictured in his basement study in the Brooklyn brownstone house that he shared with his wife, novelist&lt;a href="https://theguardian.com/books/2019/mar/03/siri-hustvedt-i-am-writing-for-my-life-memories-of-the-future-interview"&gt; Siri Hustvedt &lt;/a&gt;(she wrote in a room in the attic). The white walls and bare lightbulbs cast the 19th-century workspace in 20th-century light; you are reminded that his contemporary and friend &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/oct/18/don-delillo-i-wondered-what-would-happen-if-power-failed-everywhere"&gt;Don DeLillo&lt;/a&gt; had, the previous year, described Auster’s fictional method as “building a traditional storytelling architecture with sharply modern interiors”. There is the ever-present authorial cigarette – Auster’s 1995 film &lt;em&gt;Smoke&lt;/em&gt; was set in a Brooklyn tobacconist (he belatedly switched to a vape in 2018) – and, centre stage, the Olympia manual typewriter on which he produced every word of his novels and which was itself the subject of a short 2002 book.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/05/the-big-picture-paul-auster-olympia-manual-typewriter-arnold-newman"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  148.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Artist &lt;a href="https://www.selenakearney.com/"&gt;Selena Kearney&lt;/a&gt; was raised on the Chehalis reservation in Washington state and began photographing fake native regalia after a chance encounter with a young woman in a grocery store on Halloween. “She was wearing a skimpy faux-Native American costume,” she says. “I couldn’t begin to understand how that cheap outfit had anything to do with me, or my heritage.” Curious about the power of these objects, she started to collect and consider them, sourcing sports paraphernalia, traditional headdresses and vintage and new costumes from eBay and Amazon. Over the course of five years, Kearney photographed them and the resulting series is now featured in a book, &lt;a href="https://minormattersbooks.com/products/every-object-has-a-ritual-by-selena-kearney?variant=42110115938469"&gt;Every Object Has a Ritual (published by Minor Matters)&lt;/a&gt;, and an exhibition at the &lt;a href="https://suquamish.nsn.us/suquamish_museum/"&gt;Suquamish Museum in Washington state&lt;/a&gt; (Object/Ritual, 18 May-January 2025). “Collecting masks felt the hardest of all,” she says. One featuring a woman with two braids was particularly unsettling. “A parody of me, looking back at me.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2024/may/04/faux-native-american-costumes-and-clothing-reconsidered-in-pictures"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  167.      <title>‘Is this an image of a sculpture or an invitation to a sexual encounter?’: Esteban Kuriel’s best phone picture</title>

  169.      <description>&lt;p&gt;The photographer on an ambiguous image inspired by Greek, Roman and Egyptian art&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“A former mentor, Elinor Carucci, recommends taking pictures daily as a sort of gym for the photographic mind,” Esteban Kuriel says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On this day, Kuriel was staying at St Ermin’s hotel in London and had visited the Sir John Soane’s Museum, which houses a collection of Greek, Roman and Egyptian figurative sculptures. “The fragmented, contorted bodies inspired me, and I returned to my room to make this image. Photographing daily trains my eye, just as one trains their body at the gym, so I must play with what is available. In this case, it was this space and its furniture.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/may/04/esteban-kuriel-best-phone-picture"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  279.      <title>Yan Wang Preston review – gloriously confronting art history in the nude</title>
  280.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/02/yan-wang-preston-review-messums-london-uk-based-chinese-artist</link>
  281.      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Messums, London Cork Street&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The artist braved the freezing Pennines to cast a Romantic painting in a bold new light, while her restaging of Manet’s Olympia is wonderfully subversive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A woman stands majestically on a rocky, icy precipice; she looks out at a vast frosty tract, covered in thick, flawless snow. Her back is turned to us, the mood is contemplative. She surveys her domain, straight-backed, black hair licking the back of her neck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a photograph by the UK-based Chinese artist&lt;a href="https://www.yanwangpreston.com/"&gt; Yan Wang Preston&lt;/a&gt;. But there is another version of this image, a famous Romantic painting by the German artist Caspar David Friedrich. It is titled &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2024/jan/02/from-arctic-art-to-the-disgusting-food-museum-europes-top-10-culture-destinations-for-2024"&gt;Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog&lt;/a&gt;, made circa 1817. In that work, a clothed, flame-haired male &lt;em&gt;Rückenfigur&lt;/em&gt; (a person seen from behind) stands on a jagged ridge and gazes out over a foggy landscape; the painting is the epitome of 19th century liberalism and romanticism, the lone figure in the rugged landscape contemplating his place in the world.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/02/yan-wang-preston-review-messums-london-uk-based-chinese-artist"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  305.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nine photojournalists from across the US tell the stories behind their most powerful shots, as pro-Palestinian protesters face police crackdowns&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As protests in support of Palestine &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/30/new-york-police-columbia-university-student-protests"&gt;sweep university campuses&lt;/a&gt; across the US, student journalists from New York to Texas have documented the reality inside the encampments. They have risen to the occasion, capturing the quiet moments, the celebratory elements, the tense scenes and the violent police arrests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We asked nine photographers – who have been covering the demonstrations at Columbia, Berkeley, the University of Texas and beyond – to tell the stories behind their most powerful photos.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/may/02/university-protests-gaza-student-pictures"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  323.      <title>Beauty, filth, violence and death: why still life art is more subversive than you think</title>
  324.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/02/subversive-still-life-pallant-house-chichester</link>
  325.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Once dismissed as a lesser art form, the still life has been reinvented as a radical form of expression, as a thrilling new show makes clear&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still life is the lowest form of art. So declared the French Academy when it established its Hierarchy of Genres in the 17th century. Historical scenes and portraiture were the noblest genres, whereas landscapes and still lifes were considered lowly. According to the art institute, biblical frescoes required a&amp;nbsp;higher level of mastery; an inanimate fruit bowl, or a bunch of wilting flowers? Anybody could paint those.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This categorisation shaped the perception of still life as a marginal genre. Four centuries on, the discourse has pivoted. “The careful and meticulous depiction of objects has always been an element of art, but generally this was something you saw in the backdrop of a religious scene or a portrait,” says Melanie Vandenbrouck, chief curator at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester. This month, the Chichester museum will present a comprehensive survey of around 150 still lifes made in Britain. Chronologically charting its development, the exhibition presents it as a fundamental genre of British art, one that has historically grappled with the universal human experiences of love and grief, but also provided a radical commentary on gender inequality, the climate crisis and war.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/02/subversive-still-life-pallant-house-chichester"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  364.      <title>Sons, when did you last hold your father’s hand? Valery Poshtarov’s best photograph</title>
  365.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2024/may/01/sons-fathers-hand-valery-poshtarovs-best-photograph</link>
  366.      <description>&lt;p&gt;‘I have photographed fathers and sons holding hands from Bulgaria to Armenia and beyond. I approached these two as a stranger – and had just seconds before it got too awkward’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few years ago, while walking my sons to school, I found myself thinking that, although I held their hands daily, one day they wouldn’t need me alongside them, that we would lose that sense of physical closeness. I decided to photograph my own father and grandfather holding hands – but it was the start of the pandemic, my grandfather was 95 and we wanted to keep him safe. We couldn’t meet for over a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the meantime, while walking around Bulgaria’s capital Sofia, where I live, I stopped to photograph a house that caught my eye and a woman came out pushing a man in a wheelchair. I assumed they were going to chase me away, but instead she showed me a framed picture of a young man, aged about 30. She said he was their only son and he had died eight months before. She asked if I would photograph her husband with the portrait.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2024/may/01/sons-fathers-hand-valery-poshtarovs-best-photograph"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
