magnificent monochrome

January 30th 2009 06:54
Roman Polanski's Cul-de-Sac
I know, I know, it’s been too long between exhibitions. I have no excuse. Well, actually I do. I was partying my ass off, as you do over the silly season. But I shouldn’t have neglected my blog for so long. I do apologise. The Raoulmeister is back! And the heat is on!


So, to make up for it, I’m gonna shut the fuck up, and let these sensational images speak volumes in magnificent black and white, because at the end of the day, as gorgeous as colour is, monochrome separates the gentlemen from the lads, the ladies from the ladettes … if you get my drift.

It's a melange of styles and content, I know, but I'm still recovering from the intensely hedonistic pursuits of the silly season ... not to mention being caught up in this Australian heatwave that is sweeping through the Eastern states. I guess the sensuality of the period is reflected in the images I've selected. My favourites? I love the Lauren Bentley nude and the fashiontastic pose of Moran Atias. I love the Bill Brandt and Tina Modotti pictures. But my absolute favourite is the man leaping with the birds flying overhead, now that is something else indeed. Hey, Happy New Year!
