In 1964, LIFE photographer Michael Rougier and correspondent Robert Morse spent time documenting one Japanese generation’s age of revolt, and came away with an astonishingly intimate, frequently unsettling portrait of teenagers hurtling willfully toward oblivion. See the whole series on LIFE.
New Orleans own Stephen Rhodes recently wrapped up an exhibition at Misako-Rosen Gallery in Tokyo, entitled 7 Bankers and A couple of Brokers unpack a library.
The show is a selection of new paintings from Rhodes’s ongoing Vacant Portraits series. The spectral presence of depressed art historian Aby Warburg as well as that of his banking family occupies the gallery space – transformed into a makeshift room evoking both a haunted bank corridor and an abandoned library.

The Senseless Drawing Robot is the brainchild of Japanese artists/makers So Kanno and Takahiro Yamaguchi. The concept is fairly simple: random wall art is created with spray paint can, attached to a robotic arm which is mounted on a moving platform.
Enjoy!
