Items related to Hey Mister, throw me some beads!
"Hey Mister, throw me some beads!" is a phrase that is iconic in New Orleans' Mardi Gras street argot. Strings of beads, doubloons, and other trinkets are passed out or thrown from the floats in the Mardi Gras parades to spectators lining the streets. In 1974, Bruce Gilden was a young photographer when he first went down to Mardi Gras to shoot his first personal essay away from his home city New York. But when Gilden first stepped foot in New Orleans, he found himself in "a pagan dream where you can be what you want to be." So Gilden became a regular, making seven trips down to the mayhem of Bourbon Street between 1974 and 1982. The energy, the mentality, and the social and cultural mores of Mardi Gras were all new for Gilden, but he captured the carnival crowds with the same raw intensity and poignancy that characterize his most iconic New York street photographs.
A member of Magnum Photos since 1998, Bruce Gilden has taken the genre of street photography and pushed it in new directions, documenting the essence of the people he sees and the social landscape through which they move. His photographs have been widely exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world and are included in many permanent collections, including MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the National Gallery of Canada.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Hey Mister, throw me some beads!' ('Hey Mister, wirf mir ein paar Perlen zu') ist eine typische Redewendung des Mardi Gras, des berühmten Karneval von New Orleans. Bunte Perlenketten, Blechmünzen und anderer billiger Tand werden während der Mardi Gras-Paraden von den Festwagen in die Menge geworfen.Bruce Gilden war noch ein junger Fotograf, als er 1974 erstmals den Mardi Gras besuchte. Es war die erste persönliche Reportage, die er außerhalb seiner Heimatstadt New York fotografierte. Schon bei seiner Ankunft in New Orleans wähnte er sich in 'einem heidnischen Traum, in dem jeder sein darf, was er will.' Von dem wilden Treiben auf der Bourbon Street angezogen wurde Gilden zu einem Stammgast und kehrte zwischen 1974 und 1982 insgesamt sieben Mal zurück. Die Energie, die Mentalität, die sozialen und kulturellen Gebräuche des Mardi Gras waren ihm fremd, doch fing er die Scharen feiernder Karnevalisten mit derselben Intensität und Prägnanz ein, die auch seine berühmten New Yorker Straßenfotografien kennzeichnen.

Hey Mister Throw me Some Beads ! - Bruce Gilden

Book Description Tapa Dura. Condition: New. "¡Oiga, señor, lanceme algunos collares!" es una frase icónica en el argot callejero de Mardi Gras de Nueva Orleans. Se reparten collares de cuentas, doblones y otras baratijas desde las carrozas en los desfiles de Mardi Gras a los espectadores que bordean las calles. En 1974, Bruce Gilden era un joven fotógrafo cuando fue por primera vez a Mardi Gras para fotografiar su primer ensayo personal lejos de su ciudad natal, Nueva York. Pero cuando Gilden pisó por primera vez Nueva Orleans, se encontró en "un sueño pagano en el que puedes ser lo que quieras ser". Así que Gilden se convirtió en un asiduo, haciendo siete viajes al caos de Bourbon Street entre 1974 y 1982. La energía, la mentalidad y las costumbres sociales y culturales de Mardi Gras eran todas nuevas para Gilden, pero capturó a las multitudes del carnaval con la misma intensidad cruda y patetismo que caracterizan sus fotografías callejeras más icónicas de Nueva York.Miembro de Magnum Photos desde 1998, Bruce Gilden ha tomado el género de la fotografía callejera y lo ha llevado en nuevas direcciones, documentando la esencia de las personas que ve y el paisaje social en el que se mueven. Sus fotografías han sido ampliamente exhibidas en museos y galerías de todo el mundo y están incluidas en muchas colecciones permanentes, incluyendo el MoMA y el Museo de Arte de Brooklyn, Nueva York; el Museo Victoria and Albert, Londres; el Museo de Bellas Artes de Houston; y la Galería Nacional de Canadá.
