The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, is a monument to the nation''s 16th president, a commemoration of the country''s post-Civil War reunification, and a setting for national events and quiet visits. Demands for a national memorial to Abraham Lincoln began shortly after his 1865 assassination but produced nothing substantial until the early 20th century. Elevation of Lincoln to legendary status and an extended debate over location and design finally led Congress in 1913 to approve a memorial at the west end of the National Mall. Construction took another eight years. Since its dedication in 1922, the Lincoln Memorial has hosted civil rights demonstrations, presidential events, national celebrations, and day and night visits by millions of people who come to reflect upon one of the most consequential leaders in American history.

The Cold War is just a distant memory for many, and practically a blank slate for anyone born after 1980. For most people in the West, the realities of life behind the Iron Curtain have faded into caricatures of police state repression and bread lines. With the world seemingly again divided between democracies and authoritarian regimes, it is essential that we understand the reality of life in the Soviet Bloc. Photojournalist Arthur Grace was uniquely placed to provide that context.During the 1970's and 1980's, Grace traveled extensively behind the Iron Curtain working primarily for news magazines. One of only a small corps of Western photographers with ongoing access to the area, he was able to take the time to delve into the most ordinary corners of people's daily lives while also covering significant events which unfolded while on assignment. Many of the photographs in this remarkable book are effectively psychological portraits that leave the viewer with a sense of the gamut of emotions in that era.Mr. Grace's extensive photographic archive of this highly charged period is the basis for his new book, COMMUNISM(S): A COLD WAR ALBUM. Illustrated with over one hundred and twenty black and white images - nearly all previously unpublished, COMMUNISM(S) gives an unprecedented glimpse behind the veil of a not-so-distant time filled with harsh realities unseen by nearly all but those that lived through it.Shot in the USSR, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, and the German Democratic Republic, Mr. Grace's images reveal an ongoing cat and mouse struggle between State sponsored forces seeking obedience by regimenting mind and body, and their every-day citizens seeking connection to universal humanity in small moments. Here are portraits of factory workers, farmers, churchgoers, vacationers, and loitering teens juxtaposed with the GDR's imposing Social-Realist-designed apartment blocks, propagandistic annual May Day Parades, Poland's Solidarity movement and the subsequent imposition of martial law, and the vastness of Moscow's Red Square contrasted with ever-present public propaganda, communal mineral water vending machines, and endless lines of citizens hoping for an opportunity to buy a cut of meat, or basically anything still in stock at the butcher shop. COMMUNISM(S) thought-provoking photographs expand and enlighten our view of the history of this period while serving as a graphic reminder of an era we seem destined to repeat.

To Die Alive conjures a hedonistic fever dream of Fire Island's historic gay communities. The book contains 77 photographs by New York artist Matthew Leifheit taken by night over the past five years. The pictures show a world of desire layered in history, including the Ice Palace bar's infamous underwear party, the men-only Belvedere Guesthouse, clandestine encounters in the Meat Rack, and landscapes in all seasons of the island's delicate maritime forest. The wide-ranging subjects of Leifheit's portraits are the intergenerational community who come to the island for refuge or employment, ranging from sugar daddies to bartenders and sex workers. The series takes the form of a tragedy, combining many nights and many histories to form an endless night of sex, death, and evolution towards new definitions of queerness. As homosexuality gains mainstream acceptance, many queer Americans no longer need to go to geographic extremes like Fire Island, Provincetown, Palm Springs or Key West to express themselves. But what is the cost of assimilation? To Die Alive is both romantic and grotesque, challenging the sun-bleached history of homoerotic representation on this fragile island, which itself is under constant threat of erosion into the sea.
