"  What really defines today&amp;#039;s ideal of beauty? To tackle the provocative, often-fraught topic, fashion historian Kohle Yohannan has amassed more than 170 photographs for &amp;quot;Beauty CULTure,&amp;quot; at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles (May 21-November 27). The eye-opening photo exhibit charts the evolution of beauty archetypes over the past century and features notable photographers \u2014 glamour-makers Guy Bourdin and Man Ray, cultural chroniclers Martin Schoeller and Lauren Greenfield \u2014 tracing the impact of their images on modern beauty. Bombshells like Marilyn Monroe and &amp;#039;80s supermodels are certainly among them, but surprising standouts include hyper-androgynous Grace Jones and Tammy Faye Messner \u2014 in a starkly up-close-and-personal moment. Not only are conventions of size, age, and race challenged here, but also considered are the influence of HD video, Photoshop, and (perhaps-too-graphic) plastic surgery. This is Hollywood, after all.  Check back here soon for future exhibit tours and MC events with the show. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
