50 years ago from the August 22, 1969 cover story - THAT YOUNG NEW YORK LOOK - one of the classic LIFE photo essays by the great Vernon Merritt III. This image ran in the essay which started with the following caption: "New York City is a costume party for the young this summer, a party that is taking place outdoors, on the streets and in the parks. Long hair, long legs. The party is not always elegant, but it is completely alive."

Repost from @life 50 years ago this week, this image of Johnny Cash appeared on the cover of November 21, 1969 issue of LIFE magazine—"JOHNNY CASH: The Rough-cut King of Country Music." According to LIFE, "His face looks ruined, the lean body whipped out. He sings off-key, of bygone days that many of his listeners can't even remember: railroads, hobos on the open road, Depression, hard times he knew growing up poor in an Arkansas cotton patch. These are curiously old-fashioned themes, but the homely lyrics and rough-cut personality of Johnny Cash make them fresh."

Repost from @life using @RepostRegramApp - 70 years ago this week, from the August 8, 1949 ART feature: "JACKSON POLLOCK—Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?" According to LIFE, "Recently a formidably high-brow New York critic hailed the brooding, puzzled looking man as a major artist of our time and a fine candidate to become "the greatest American painter of the 20th Century." Others believe that Jackson Pollock produces nothing more than interesting, if inexplicable, decorations. Still others condemn his pictures as degenerate and find them as unpalatable as yesterday's macaroni. Even so, Pollock, at the age of 37, has burst forth as the shining new phenomenon of American art."

Rg @life: 60 years ago today on Sept. 4, 1957 the Little Rock Nine students were barred from attending school when governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to prevent them from entering the high school. Pictured here is student Elizabeth Eckford walking away from the school after being turned away. This image ran in the Sept. 16, 1957 issue of LIFE with the following caption: “Jeers from a girl, Hazel Bryant (right), follow Elizabeth Eckford as she walks from Little Rock’s Central High. Guardsmen barred her from school.” Although the Little Rock Nine were finally able to attend classes by late September 1957, the fight wasn’t over: throughout the rest of the school year, they faced ongoing abuse, threats, discrimination and acts of hazing from their white peers and, disgracefully, from equally vicious adults.

"LIFE'S COVER: The day American soldiers landed on Normandy to win back France's liberty, the great symbol of freedom that France had given America shone brightly again in New York harbor. Since Pearl Harbor, the Statue of Liberty has been dark except for a small beacon. At sunset on D-day, Liberty's light went on in full glory for 15 minutes, then went out once again until the war is really won." - LIFE magazine, June 26, 1944, 75 years ago this week.

70 years ago this week, in the July 19, 1948 issue - “FUN ON THE BEACH—Summer Finds Americans Shedding Clothes And Inhibitions At Seaside.” According to LIFE, “Many Americans who worry about what their neighbors think of them are apt to act as if they wore tight corsets in public. But the one place where people of all ages and temperaments feel free to kick over the traces is a public beach.” LIFE magazine featured a portfolio of images from beaches in California and Cape Cod. This image ran with the following caption: “The perils of blanket tossing are happily undergone by pretty Miss Norma Baker with the help of eight husky friends at Hermosa Beach in California.” (John Florea—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #thisweekinLIFE #HermosaBeach #California
