Fascinating!!!
Have been busting my butt working on this two-part audio download about New York City during the time of the Abstract Expressionists. Naturally, I’ve learned all kinds of rad stuff: beer used to be 15 cents, apartments used to go for $17 a month, and when artists said they were starving, they weren’t kidding.
Also, we found all-kinds-of-awesome vintage audio of Peggy Guggenheim (describing herself at the “enfant terrible of the Guggenheim family”) and Robert Motherwell telling a particularly poignant story about Mark Rothko in the early ’50s.

Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

… And I’m sure it tasted SO good!

This past weekend was The Queen West Art Crawl at Trinity Bellwoods Park - plenty of great stuff by local artisans, from sculptures to photography to crafts to jewelery. What really impressed me (and caught me by surprise) was the calligraphy demonstration in the front window of The Paper Place. Rajiv Surendra’s pen glided across the paper like magic, his beautiful penmanship reminiscent of 18th and 19th century styles. Who said calligraphy was a dead art?
