Abstract

Life Dergisi, 1883 yılından itibaren haftalık olarak yayınlanmaya başlanmış, ardından bir süre düzensiz aralıklarla yayınlanmış, 1978-2000 yılları arasında ise aylık olarak basılmış seçkin bir Amerikan mecmuasıdır. 1936’da Time Şirketi’nin himayesine giren dergi, Henry Robinson Luce (1898-1967) sayesinde çok satan yayınlardan biri olmayı başarmıştır. Tanınmış simaları, siyasî gündemi, savaşları ve aynı zamanda günlük Amerikan yaşantısını birbirinden etkili metin ve görseller ile konu edinen derginin ülke ve dünyadaki sanat olayları hakkında yaptığı haberler ise bugün için paha biçilemez bir arşiv niteliğindedir. Derginin hem anavatanında hem de birçok Avrupa ülkesinde gündem belirleyici güce eriştiği dönemin (1936-1972) dökümü / seçkisi niteliğinde hazırlanmış olan bu makale, bilhassa kapak fotoğrafları sayesinde modern siyasetin ilgisini çekmeyi başarmış bir yayın organının sanat camiası tarafından da aynı ilgi ile takip edilmiş olmasının önemine işaret etmeyi hedeflemektedir.
