This exhibition was another popular one! There were many images taken from Life Magazine over the years.
The first image that struck me was of a man on the moon, which had a small amount of colour in it. This was near an image of the Yangtse river near Magic Mountain taken by Dmitri Kessel which was quite mystical.
The image of Koreans mourning the death of Kim Koo was interesting as this assassination happened in my neighbourhood. The image was taken in the garden of his mansion by Carl Mydans in 1949. The bullet hole in the window is evident although not the main focus, it tells a story in itself.
Charlie Chaplin as clown in the dressing room on the set of Limelight taken byW. Eugene Smith 1952 was a different view of the comedian, a new perspective.
A portrait of Hitler taken in c.1932 is a very clear portrait by an unknown photographer. You can really look into his eyes but there is no sign of all the evil.
Actors and actresses are the main focus in the portraits, showing them in their place of work.
Muhammad Ali 1966 Gordon Parks close up with sweat - the lighting on this image was intense and I got the feeling of how hard he works.
Pablo Picasso then Henri Matisse painting with light pen taken Gjon Mili 1949. This showed artists creating more art in a photo where we can also see the artist, a totally new perspective.

Some images were very grainy, giving a different quality to them.
