Amazing Nostalgic Photography

Wendy Bevan is a fashion photographer. But she doesn't use £2K Canon DSLRs and arrays of flashguns. She shoots on good old Polaroid, and styles in shades of circus-burlesque. Kind of a paradox, since fashion is all about bleeding edge newness, and all of her photos look like they've been stored in an attic for sixty years. Somehow though, it works, and it's wonderful.

Her latest shoot, for Italian Marie Claire, is called English Party. Have a browse.

Maurizio Cattelan is One Crazy Contemporary Artist

Maurizio Cattelan is one of those artists that we can't help but like. Known as the bad boy of the art world, Maurizio is an Italian born, self-taught artist who rides the fine line between funny and disturbing.

Here's a great line from Design Boom:
"Cattelan has a subtle sense of the paradoxes of transgression, the limits of tolerance. Since the early 1990s, his work has provoked and challenged the limits of contemporary value systems through its use of irony and humor. He teases the art world without ever falling into the naive trap of thinking he can subvert a system of which he is part." LINK



Here's also an interesting and funny video clip from when BBC's Art Safari. LINK: Youtube
