Subliminal Projects displayed a different side of the 1960's. Photographer Jim Marshall's documentrary style imagery captured a slightly more raw side of the decade. With peace being the theme of the evening, that famous peace sign was on display in every nook and cranny. Marshalls work verge on both street photography and documentary syle imagery. He captures the struggle for civil rights and care free times of the hippies in brilliant contrast, not to mention all of the iconic photos of the Rock and Roll scene.
From Jim Marshall's bio
"Photographer Jim Marshall, who died of natural causes in New York City on March 24, 2010, over a 50-year career created hundreds of legendary images that came into the public consciousness through magazine features, more than 500 album covers, and six books, Monterey Pop, Not Fade Away, Proof, Jazz, Trust and Pocket Cash. Pocket Cash: Photographs of Johnny Cash (Chronicle Books, 2010) was the last book developed by Jim and approved by him weeks before his death. Marshall has been called the most celebrated and prolific photographer of the 20th century and is widely known for his iconic music photography. In death, Jim holds the distinction of being the first and only photographer to be presented with the Recording Academy's TRUSTEE AWARD, an honorary GRAMMY presented to individuals for nonperformance contributions to the music industry. The award was bestowed on the Jim Marshall estate in 2014 in recognition of Jim's unprecedented chronicling of music history from the 1950s through the early 2000s."
