Gay Block's South Beach Photo Series Captures The Vibrant Life Of Jewish Retirees In Miami (PHOTOS) Before Art Basel took over Miami's South Beach, bringing international art stars to the town's pastel streets, the cozy Art Deco haven was a home for another beloved demographic -- Jewish retirees. Throughout the 1980s the elderly inhabitants occupied the affordable Miami hotels, living in a mini paradise filled with their own beachside gatherings and bold fashions choices. This more tranquil aspect of Miami's past is the subject of a new photography exhibit at New York's Howard Greenberg Gallery, featuring the work of Houston-born artist, Gay Block. The show, titled "LOVE: South Beach in the 80s," features 20 archival prints of South Beach's brightly clothed residents.

The series is a heartwarming homage to Block's first trip to Miami, where she was inspired by the floppy hats and tinted sunglasses of its smiling people. "When I first went Miami’s South Beach in 1982 it was love at first sight. Scroll through the slideshow below for a peek at Block's South Beach series. Hide Thumbnails. An essay on Bryan Schutmaat’s “Heartland” A gas station beyond which lie distant grain silos, a deer carcass in a barren field beside a highway, a rural church at night, a winnowing truck-path faded under the ice and grit and snow; a music room in a Sunday school, a rail depot at sunrise beside an industrial park on the periphery of an unnamed town, a rural roadside café, a ceramic Christ bearing the heart within its chest in the window of a Main Street storefront, a lone horse stark and solitary in a field of grass, a First Baptist Church bathed in a lapsing sunset, its cross brilliant in burnished gold… These early scenes are full of a contemplative silence, indelibly inscribed with the visible traces of their inhabitants, and often filled with the rolling whispers of a breeze.

These scenes are full of stillness, not merely in compositional terms but in that they are pregnant with the sense of a deliberate momentary pause – a wilful, curious and patient respite. Notes. i. Peirce F. Ii. Iii. Iv. V. Degrees of Gray in Philipsburg by Richard Hugo. Singing a Sad Song with Photographs. Editors Note: As a fun experiment, we asked Bryan what the best song would be to listen to while you look at the images. He suggested this one: Bryan Schutmaat’s newly-released photographic series, Grays the Mountain Sends, is quite stellar. The images depict desolate regions and isolated communities of the western United States with a deft touch and a sympathetic eye. His landscapes become emotional statements, and his portraits force you to wonder about the lives of the sitters.

Looking through the images and their chosen sequence, you begin to feel like a narrative story is being told, one who’s specific arc you may never really know. Serious stuff, dudes. I was blown away by the work and decided to have a chat with the man in the mountains. VICE: How long has this new project been in the making? How long would you say you were on the road, actually shooting? Were you based in Brooklyn back then? Yeah, that would make things much easier than living on the East Coast. That's awesome.
