Band New Order performing live in New York in 1981 at the Ukrainian National HomeA New Beginning: This performance was part of New Order’s first U.S. tour, staged a little over a year after Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’s death. It marked a crucial step in the band’s transition and the beginning of their effort to define an identity separate from their previous group. Musical Evolution: On this tour, New Order moved beyond Joy Division’s post‑punk austerity, embracing synthesizers and propulsive rhythms. In New York they unveiled an early, unreleased ten‑minute version of Temptation, drawing rave reviews and cementing their reputation at the forefront of post‑punk. Video Recording: The show—performed in 1981 in New York City—was filmed by Michael Shamberg and later released on VHS as Taras Shevchenko, capturing the band in a raw, transitional phase and becoming a vital document of their early career. The Ukrainian National Home’s name—and the portrait of poet Taras Shevchenko hanging behind the stage—were prominently displayed, underscoring the venue’s cultural co

Nudie Cohn and Gram Parsons in his Flying Burrito Brothers Nudie suitAs the 1960's were winding down, Nudie Cohn's career took on a new dimension when he made a suit for Gram Parsons. An article by Elyssa East in the Oxford American magazine provides some details about the creation of Nudie's most renowned suit: “The 1960s were coming to a close when rising country rock musician Gram Parsons posed next to Nudie Cohn, the celebrated Western-wear designer more than three times his senior. Raeanne Rubenstein shot their portrait for Show: The Magazine of the Arts at Nudie’s Los Angeles workshop. Over a smooth bare chest and midriff, the twenty-something Parsons wore the suit Nudie designed for him for the cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers’ debut album, The Gilded Palace of Sin.

Figures in an InteriorFigures in an Interior is a work by the Ukrainian and French artist Sonia Delaunay. The artist, with her husband Robert Delaunay, was a co-founder of the Orphism art movement, which is characterized by its use of strong, vibrant colors and geometric shapes to create a sense of rhythm and movement. Sonia Delaunay's work often blurred the lines between fine art and decorative arts, and she applied her artistic principles to various media, including paintings, textile designs, and interior decoration. The painting shown is a great example of her style, with two abstracted figures in a dynamically colored and patterned room. The search results include mentions of a similar work, "Figures in an Interior, colour screenprint" by Sonia Delaunay, and other Delaunay paintings with figures in interiors.
