Around that time Morley was given his first Kodak Brownie, and later, as a struggling painter in England, he found the camera useful for recording what he couldn't draw. From 1960, when he was asked to document the first of more than 100 West End plays, it provided his livelihood. Despite the stylistic constraints, his lens would draw something alluring from the shadows. What came into focus was not so much celebrity as the public's fascination for it. In 1963, Morley was invited by Beatles manager Brian Epstein to Liverpool, where he photographed the band's birthplace...
...Highway 1, which at times seems more "mono" than "multi," that success is not always apparent; sometimes the bush feels like a decaying museum. Look a little deeper, spend a little time, and the country reveals itself: the hardbitten farmer with a greenie tinge and the Aboriginal painter who likes the patterns and colors in her works (and even more so, the cash from sales of dotty art) defy attempts at categorization.

...romance and playfulness of the love affair and the artworks born of it, the 350 works on display here capture the fecundity of Picasso, and give an insight into the mechanics of genius. Here are the studies obsessively reworking an idea or theme, many of them threading though the painter's long life: classical mythology; the artist as minotaur or faun; the savage beauty of the bullfight. The same subject is painted over and over, and because Picasso dated his works precisely, the astonished visitor understands that half a wall of work is the output of just one day. There...
