I have added 50 images to the Digital Image Database that highlight the career of Stanley Kubrick and his films. Film students ought to appreciate this titan of film. The images came from The Stanley Kubrick Archives. This book can be found on the first floor in the large format books section. This tome is huge. What I have uploaded is just the tiniest fraction of images this book provides. It is really worth looking at.

This artist is controversial on the level of Mapplethorpe as his work has threatened the National Endowment for the Arts. His work has also been vandalized by Neo-Nazis. His images of death, bodily fluids, KKK members are the epitome of shock art.

I have included two of the less controversial images in this post. To see the rest of his work please see the Digital Image Database.

There will be 45 images added to the existing records regarding this amazing body of work. The Dinner Party (Judy Chicago)
