Larry Clark
November 9, 2010
In 1971, a monograph called Tulsa caused a cultural uproar over its frank depictions of sex, drugs, and other vices of a certain rarely clothed subset of american youth. This kind of honest, blatant, and often shocking portrait style would come to define Larry Clark’s aesthetic throughout his career. A retrospective in paris this month confirms that the 67-year-old photographer and director still stands as one of America’s true outsider artists-an ironic position for a man who captured so many alienated kids by being on the inside.

Skins
November 29, 2008
Skin on skin is savage cool. But B.C. cavemen never had it so fly. Now rockers mix up the brutal boyness of L.A. hair bands with the delicate, semi-fey details of Paris couture.
