Neo Rauch
The first time I gazed upon the work of Neo Rauch, I wrote him off as ‘meh’. Two days later, after the images kept creeping into my mind, I returned to the Met to spend hours with the work, forever changing my opinion. Rauch’s theatricality, and use of bizarrely juxtaposed images, all in an often muted palette on a large canvas, invite you into his world. In pictures where the paint itself may falter, the story shines, and vice versa; a recipe for perpetual interest.

Textural collages by Derek Gores
The beauty of our digital age is access. I don’t recall exactly how I found the work of Derek Gores. Regardless, I am grateful. His rich, textural collages succeed in bringing another dimension to his subject, whether it’s a shoe or a person. Beyond the work, he also teaches workshops and is open about sharing his techniques and style with those interested. Read more

I originally caught wind of these photos on amazing artist/designer Scott Hansen’s blog. These photos, taken by Danny Lyon in Brooklyn in 1974, have such a gritty, yet nostalgic feel to them. As a native New Yorker, any New York history pieces leave me curious. Great finds. [Musician Outasight is writing guest posts for Lost at E Minor] Read more

Interior design website, Apartment Therapy, just posted some amazing pictures of ’70s rock stars in their parents’ homes. My favorite is of David Crosby and his dad [below]. The two look so completely opposite of each other that it’s hard to believe that it’s Crosby’s real dad. They also look like they’re barely concealing the contempt they have for each other. Crosby’s father was an Academy-Award-winning cinematographer who shot Tabu and High Noon, amongst other well-known films. Read more
David Holmes’ fourth solo album has been a long time in the making. The man who is best known for his scoring of films such as Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13, and remixing for bands like U2 and The Manic Street Preachers, took just over ten years to make his latest album. Read more
Adidas’ new Star Wars kicks are super-stars. The Storm Trooper helmets on shoe tongues are my favorite. I want Chubaka to wear them.
