Svetlana Valueva
In the artist's own words:
“My heroes are women. Some were born from my imagination; others are real
persons. Every new face, so unique and so unrepeatable, originates in my
imagination and then finds its way to the canvas”. This talented Russian
artist creates some very beautiful and sensual art.

Irene Sheri
I like this Ukrainian artist's use of bold colors, thin outlines and
subject matter to create her wonderful paintings.

Natsuko Kogure
Natsuko Kogure's zany imagination shows though on her colorful paper Mache
sea creature creations. I think Alexander Calder were still alive that
would like these creatures too.

Performing Arts Poster Collection
(PCL)
This huge collection has over 2,000 performance art posters from LOC,
including some early
burlesque posters like the one below. Also, I think I'm in
love with
Nettie Barton! Who says the government is completely useless? I
know Rush Limbaugh ;-). Rush should know too because he is about
completely useless at they get!

Ground Zero 1945
Before 9/11, ground zero was associated with the nuclear terror that
rained down on the cites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of WWII. These images,
drawn by the survivors, document the cataclysm that hopefully will never be
repeated again. Can someone please explain
to me the difference between these acts of modern total war and acts of terrorism?

I'm not quite sure what this site is all about, but they have huge and
unusual collection of vintage images. For example, check out the
Cold War,

Charles Atlas, and
Ladies
Underwear, just to name a few.

Zhang
Hai-Er
His B&W Shanghai photos are remarkable. His subjects seem to real people
from China and not fashion models. Here is a set of his
color photos, and here is
a spread Zhang did for Time Magazine.
