Norman Parkinson III


Just so that we are clear that Norman Parkinson had an eye for contemporary art and fashion, see the above picture of a model in a Philip Treacy hat. Still pretty though.

  2. Wouldn't you say that it is derivative but leagues above true punk?

  3. It needs colour don't you think; like a peacock or genuine punk; now i knew a beautiful girl once, long dark hair falling, no cascading all down and along the length of her back; she became a punk and how!!! Real thing!!!!! Then she studied law and became what she used to be; long hair falling, no cascading, cascading down the length............

  4. I think that the colour black means that it only derives from punk: a kind of higher form of it.

  5. Turning shit into gold as did the old alchemists is one standard of creativity.

    Grand pics, I love Norman Parkinson's work.
