That is the question on everyone's minds!
From Horizon, A Magazine of the Arts (published from 1958 -1989 according to Wikipedia, which also mentions, While Horizon remained bimonthly to July 1962, volume IV, there was an anomalous volume V that had eight issues, which is cool because guess which volume I got my little mitts on?!? That's right - anomalous, powerful volume V.)
How's that for some bio pics? No offense to John Arden (top right), English playwright, whose plays were said to "have a richly poetic quality," and whose work I should definitely be familiar with, but am not. However, wouldn't you swear that's a bit of York Peppermint Pattie in his hand?
Lest I get carried away with sarcasm, I'm just wondering: why are the sixties so amazing to look at, exactly? I need lots of things in my life like this:
I'd like to be a 38 year old male living in New York City in 1963, having painted things that expand like ripples from a pebble tossed into water. Would you?
All right, friend. It's time for bed - bed where the dreaming, resting, and sheep thinking happens.

1. If it's not a York Peppermint Pattie, what is it? (Also, I just (annoyingly) spellchecked pattie. Nice work! Could've sworn it was patty.)
2. Kenneth Noland's painting immediately reminded me of the Ellsworth Kelly exhibition Matt and I saw last year at LACMA, which I liked so much I kept the brochure in my purse for at least 3 months afterward. Important notes: he was also a young artist in the 60s, and he spent some very formative years living in the French countryside. (Which also begs the question: when will we spend our formative years in the French countryside?)

3. I have this site bookmarked on my computer, and if I had the expendable income, would definitely buy the below.
Lastly, those guys wrote the book on bio photos! (I mean, apart from the Peppermint Pattie slip up.) Seriously though, maybe it's just the black and white, but they look like such thinkers. Should we redo ours? Or, at the very least, have serious, 1960s versions?
With much love and bold, weightless, geometric shapes,
