I blog, tumbl and tweet about movies for Fandor. So what you see here will most likely not be about movies.

May 25, 1955: For an “air defense command story” published that summer, George Tames photographed various aspects of the operation at Andrews Air Field in Maryland and, 50 miles away, at the 647th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron at Manassas, Va. Here, the warning squadron sights a “target” by radar, and its flight was recorded on a plexiglass plotting board. Photo: Geore Tames/The New York Times

“President Lyndon B. Johnson was known as an owner of an Amphicar. Apparently he liked to scare new visitors to his ranch by driving them downhill in his Amphicar directly into his property’s lake, all the while shouting that the brakes had broken.”

On the second segment of this week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast, David Maisel discusses his new book “Black Maps: American Landscape and the Apocalyptic Sublime,” which is just out from Steidl. An exhibition by the same title of Maisel’s work is on view at the University of Colorado Art Museum through May 11.
This is the cover to the new book, which arrives in U.S. stores this week. It’s not just beautiful but it’s strikingly readable. Don’t miss this one!
How to listen: Download the show to your PC/mobile device. Subscribe to The MAN Podcast via iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher or RSS. See more images of art discussed on the program.
