MORRISON HOTEL GALLERY OPENS WITH A SPLASH ! ...

MORRISON HOTEL GALLERY

The Morrison Hotel Gallery has opened with a splash

at The SUNSET MARQUIS in West Hollywood CA USA.

A world-class gallery with Classic Rock & Roll
Images that tell the history of Music, here in
the States and abroad. Jagger, Miles, Janis,
Dylan, and of course Morrison and The Doors,
to name a few. Although the catalog is centered
in the Rock genre, they also have a strong
representation of sports related images
& photographers. Reping over a hundred
world class photographers. Were pretty lucky
to have this imagery here in Hollywood & what
better place than the lovely atmosphere of The
Sunset Marquis. Full of natural light, pool-side
glamour and a top notch kitchen with a full
service staff for luxury and leisure, it's a perfect
fit.

These days the art collectors, galleries and fans
are finding new & creative ways to celebrate, sell
and collect classic imagery. This looks like a great
decision from just about every angle. There was a
full turnout of interested and interesting talents,
including Julian Lennon, Gary Oldman and Billy Bob
Thorton. With many of the stars in attendance being
represented on the walls such as the great portrait of
Billy Bob or actual photos of historical characters they
have played on the screen, such as Gary Oldman' s
star turn as Sid Vicious. One of the most vigorous &
down right naked performances to ever introduce an
actor to an audience. Proving himself to be a true and
dedicated craftsman of the medium. And of course
Julian' s father & the Beatles.

It is refreshing to see how important these images of
those we cherish and love have become. As the Music
scene becomes more and more watered down, tame
and politically correct, these images are a reminder
that people make music. Real people, who write about
life, love, loss, change, history, struggle and sometimes
war and peace. Within music is a great meeting of the
minds, hearts and ideas. Hollywood, the music scene,
technology and the great all mighty dollar' s influence
can never truly change what makes music great and
that is simply: The Musicians . People just like you and
I who happened to write a great phrase, a tune, a
some thing or other that others felt was worth recording.

These images remind us that some of our favorite
stars in Jazz and Rock & Roll were thrust into the lime
light, some times unsuspecting, other times fully aware.
Music is a time & a place, an ephemeral & transitory
experience . The great art of the photograph reveals
itself to be an extremely important component to what
we now realize is a relatively impermanent & individual
thing . We may not have been in the room, on the road
or at the studio with Bobby, Mick, Bowie or Sid, but we
forever have a glimpse, a symbol, a record of a time
that once was.

On the one hand, all of this is history, on the other,
here we all are, talking about projects, reflecting on
people, yearning to make that connection between
image, sound & the people and places that we deem
important. Many of the people in these photos are no
longer with us. But when I see Miles Davis blowing on
a trumpet, I can only feel that he never actually left
us at all. I hear the music. I sense the cool. The wail.
The pain. The joy. The suffering. The madness that it
takes to dedicate your life to art. To go on tour, to
leave one' s family and friends behind, because you
love some thing so damn much that ya got no choice
but to play for the people. Life on the road is tough.
Sure, there is the fun side, the parties, the fans and
audience' s applause. But the sacrifice that goes into
being a musician is most likely un - photographable.
Many of the images represented here show the playful,
passionate and professional side of life.

Music has that special & undefinable ability to transport
us to a time and a place that has long ago passed. The
decades seem to disappear and suddenly there we are,
once again, in the prime of our lives. One can' t help
but think about, and study these photos a little deeper
to realize that life is very precious & that every body,
every where, whistles a tune they love or has a memory
related to a favorite song. Through the magic of music
we float above the mundane, the maudlin, the morose
moments in life. Images and music will always have a
relationship that retain a bit of mystery. In this instance,
a touch of that mystery is revealed. The curtain is lifted,
the stars shine and through it all, time & time again, the
song remains the same.

The Morrison Hotel Gallery is well worth a visit and so is
The Sunset Marquis Hotel, Restaurant and Spa located
just off The Sunset Strip. A discreet, quiet & extremely
luxurious Hotel with a personable and warm staff. Large
enough to have your own private space, small enough to
feel cozy.

WHY JIM HARRISON IS NOT DEAD

Tap Image to Read The Article Honoring The "LEGENDS OF THE FALL" Writer and Poet: Jim Harrison came from a family that adored and revered Literature: "My Family were obsessive readers…" The famous story goes, that, at a dinner table discussion, his family were talking about Norman Mailer's first success on the world stage and his book, entitled, " The Naked and The Dead, " young Jim responded to the conversation with the quick and curious question, "Does it have Illustrations ?" Laughter ensued and the beginning of his particularly curious, yet grounded, stoic, although humorous, celebratory whilst at the same time cautionary literary style is born.

THE IRVINE WELSH INTERVIEW

Author of TRAIN-SPOTTING on Writing, Politics + More/ Photo Essay By Walter ROTHWELL: "One of the things that happens with success is that you need to balance being a writer with an author. Writers write, while authors promote and talk about their work. So you learn that you have two jobs, which generally compliment each other, but can often get in each others way. This confusion is compounded by me working in film and TV; you need to think differently on screenplay as you are an architect rather than a builder, and once a work goes into production, you (appropriately) fall quite far down the food chain. So I now wear different hats, which I usually like –life gets boring doing the same thing."

The Nathan Walsh Interview

Tap to Read The New York Based BUREAU Guest Artist discussing his work, technique and the future of Realism in ART with Bureau Editor Joshua TRILIEGI: "I started collecting art related books as a student. This has served as daily form a of inspiration and guidance for my own practice. Looking at significant artists and paintings of the past can often be intimidating but can also suggest ways forward. My inspirations are numerous and varied from Piranesi’s engravings to the decorative tiles of William De Morgan. What connects all of these interests is a strong sense of structure and pattern. Most of the artists and designers I admire had or have a rigorous approach to composition and commitment to process perhaps more than outcome. I often think my own work as “sampling” these inspiring figures, whether it be the palette of Bonnard or the dynamism of a Bernice Abbott photograph. " - NATHAN WALSH

The ALEX HARRIS Interview

Tap To READ Alex HARRIS : "When I had the idea to photograph the landscape of northern New Mexico through the interiors of the cars of people who lived there, I’d been living in northern New Mexico on and off for almost 15 years and working in color there for about five years with a view camera. I saw myself as making the portrait of this region without including any actual people in the pictures. So I photographed extensively inside homes, whose decoration was primarily the domain of women, and the outsides of homes and in the fields, which was primarily the domain of men. In photographing these spaces, in a sense I was portraying the people who had created or shaped those spaces over the years. I wanted to represent the younger generation, and the spaces they controlled and decorated were the interiors of their cars."

Read The LITERARY 2016 Edition

TAP TO READ The John STEINBECK ICON Essay By J.A. TRILIEGI : "Question : What is it, that makes a good writer ? There are over a million answers to that question, simply ask a million writers. Each have their own rules, codes and exercises. John Updike adhered to writing three pages a day, before lunch. Charles Bukowski enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and the peaceful patter of classical music, deep into the night. According to John Steinbeck, in his Nobel Prize winning speech, there are many things a writer cannot think, be or do, to be considered, one of the gang. 1-You may not be Exclusive. 2-You may not be Separate. 3-You may not lack passion..."

ROBERT FRANK: THE AMERICANS

An APPRECIATION PIECE by Joshua TRILIEGI: "Photographers around the world revere Robert Frank's contributions to the image pool. Museums of the National and International variety create anthologies, catalogues and booklets attempting to put into perspective the precise importance of Mr. Frank's work. Art galleries and private dealers invest tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in reproducing and reselling the Robert Frank catalogue to new collectors at higher and higher prices each year. Robert Frank's photographs have become iconic, the images are American to the core and yet, he was an outsider, a beatnik, an immigrant, a visual poet... " TAP IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE NOW

REDFORD'S QUIZ SHOW at 20

Tap to READ BUREAU FILM : "This is a large film, with a brilliant cast, a flawless tone and leading actors that include John Turturro as the whistle-blowing contestant Herb Stempel and Ralph Fiennes as Charlie Van Doren, a wealthy second generation Columbia University teacher who gets sucked into cheating himself, the public and his families reputation simply by allowing the network's television producers of The Quiz Show entitled, "21" to, "… give him the answers." Which are said to be, "… sealed in a bank vault." Enter investigating lawyer and Harvard graduate at the top of his class, Richard Goodwin, played here brilliantly by Rob Morrow. A former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter, who is on the legislative subcommittee for oversight..."

ON THE FILM SET : Raging BULL

Tap To READ J. A. TRILIEGI ON THE SET: A Man in a hooded, leopard skin robe walks down a long hallway while a group of men push aside those standing in his path. We hear a crowd of thousands cheer the man on, "Jake Jake Jake …" they begin to chant. He is wearing boxing gloves, this is a championship fight, the crowd is dressed in their finest, the men are wearing suits and hats, the women are wearing jewelry, the place is filled with cigar and cigarette smoke, sailors, businessmen, middle aged characters scream the man's name over and over, the women smile as he passes by, his trainers walk in front of and behind the man as he walks down the pathway toward the ring, the volume of the crowd amplifies as the man gets closer and closer to the large roped off square canvas at the center of the arena. The man in the leopard skin robe enters through the ropes, a nondescript fellow with a microphone introduces the man in the robe, the crowd goes wild with frenzy, people are shouting, clapping, everyone is yelling something and then, suddenly, a quiet gent behind a camera yells, "cut" and the place goes silent, the action ceases, everyone settles and a pensive discussion between the crew behind the camera ensues.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: ICON ESSAY

Tap To READ: Bruce Springsteen tells stories. He knits a good yarn. He knows how to handle the crowd. Like most artists, he was a few steps ahead of the audience. Looking back to his debut album, entitled, "Greetings from Asbury Park," it is now clear that, Bruce Springsteen is not just a great singer, performer and musician, Mr. Springsteen is that rare and individual voice, both on the stage and more importantly: on paper. He is a poet. When the world was still reeling from Vietnam, from the end of The Beatles, from the shadow of Richard Nixon and the slow, but steady death of the once powerful 1960s cultural revolution, this artist released an album that was miles and miles, ahead of his audience.

GEORGIA O'KEEFFE ICON

Tap To READ The BUREAU ICON ESSAY: Georgia O'Keeffe, as a person, was precocious, defiant, intelligent, unwavering and spirited. Throughout her education and early years as a painter, she produced an original abstractionist style that had preceded a group of New York painters of the male variety that has, to this day, remained wholly original, breathtakingly expansive and sexually charged in a way that empowers feminine energy and iconography. O'Keeffe rejected analysis of her works from start to finish, from her early years in New York, to her later years in The West, everyone seemed to get it wrong. So then, let us look again at the paintings and life of Ms. Georgia O'Keeffe and see if we can put this incredible body of work into a new and contemporary context with a fresh eye and revisionist look at this phenomenally bold American.
