Remembering Roland Barthes on his birthday 🎂
📷 Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1963
"Among the brand-name French theorists of the mid-20th century, Roland Barthes was the fun one. (Foucault was the tough one, Derrida was the dreamy one, Lacan was the mysterious one...)"
- Sam Anderson
Roland Barthes by Jean-François Bauret, 1980
A portrait from the philosopher's final year.
Another portrait by Jean-François Bauret of Barthes, from 1980. This must have been one of the last photographs of Barthes, since he died on March 26th of that year.

I'm a big fan of Jerome De Perlinghi, especially his portraits. Here's the great Hank Jones.

Remembering Carlos Fuentes on his birthday 🎂
📷 Christopher Pillitz, London, 1994
"We cannot fathom a debate on Mexican literary and humanistic traditions in which his name and work are absent."
- Rubén Beltrán
Carlos Fuentes was a member of the Cannes jury in 1977. What a fascinating group!

Remembering Mose Allison on his birthday 🎂
📷 Jack Vartoogian, 1998
"In the South, I’m considered an advanced bebop type. In New York, I’m considered a country blues-folk type. Actually, I don’t think I’m either. Maybe I’m a little of both."
Mose Allison by Ebet Roberts, 1989
"He established himself playing & singing in a gentle, understated way, in a narrow range & using a bouncing, jigging rhythm that was closely related to the so-called 'swamp music' that Jimmy Giuffre was playing."
- John S. Wilson
Mose Allison by Michael Wilson
"There's a lot of terrible things goin' on all the time, but you gotta try and have some fun in the end."
