I find it terribly fitting that Marvel has kicked off the fall of the Mutant nation of Krakoa on the eve of the 9th of Av, the day of remembrance for the fall of the Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jews from the holy land.

Nine Days!

     The Nine Days… the time to recall our Temples that were destroyed on the Ninth of Av, an inopportune time for the Jewish People. What can we do to make these days useful? We can lift them. We are to find ways to be happy within the ways of morning. For instance; having guests for Shabbos. That makes us happy. And charity. We are certainly allowed to give charity during the Nine days, and when we give charity the person we are giving it to, and the person giving it, become happy. A good way to water the thirsty garden, to ease the load.

On Friday, Hamas warned that the Jews are planning to storm the Temple Mount on Tisha B'Av. (They forgot to add that we plan to rebuild the Temple). They called on Muslims to storm the Jewish people's holiest site and stop us.

Stella Star At Russo's Market

Russo's Market is open again! Here are some photos of me on a visit to Russo's for an Italian hoagie!

Russo’s Market, one of North Wildwood’s landmarks, just opened for another season! Originally named Giorgetti’s Market, Russo’s has been serving up smiles since as long as anyone can remember! To commemorate the launch of another great year, I’d like to share some photos of my visit a couple of years back. Here I am outside Russo’s, at one of their hand-painted signs.

George Copeland Ault, Ninth Avenue, 1924. Oil on canvas.

Living in Greenwich Village in the 1920s, George Ault depicted the buildings of New York City with a distinct style of simplified forms, solid colors and extreme angles. Painted in 1924, Ninth Avenue is a dynamic example of Ault's unique form of Precisionism, incorporating elements of Surrealism to create a sense of disquiet amidst the vibrant streets of the city.

In the present work, Ault takes a perspective from under the Ninth Avenue El, which was the first elevated railway in New York and operated between 1868 and 1940. Highlighting the sleek lines and repetitive nature of the architecture around this modern transportation hub, Ault minimizes the cityscape to its most basic geometric forms and executes the composition in flat planes of primary colors. In the foreground, an elegant woman walks her adorable dog, and brilliantly colored cars are parked at regular intervals along either side. The vertical supports of the rail platform emphasize the intense one-point perspective of the scene; as a result, the road and trolley tracks seem to very rapidly recede into the distance as the block-like buildings squeeze closer and closer from both directions. The underlying tension within this outwardly bright, modern cityscape is further underscored by the vibrant signage, which tantalizes the viewer's curiosity but remains largely illegible behind various obstructions.

Ault once referred to New York as "the Inferno without the fire," and the nuances of the present work illustrate that duality that captivated and inspired his many views of the city.

—quoted in George Ault, exhibition catalogue, New York, 1988, p. 7

As Roberta Smith has written of the artist, "Ault's firm, unflamboyant way with a brush, his feeling for a building's austere, carefully dovetailed planes and, above all, his love of light as painting's form-giving, mood-setting force, sustained him at nearly every turn, in any direction he chose to move ... He brought to his various scenes an idiosyncratic poetry and a sadness that was neither hidden nor indulged, but kept at an arm's length with a sense of dignity that, strangely enough, could almost be celebratory. In Ault's paintings, one feels that he loved life, even if life did not particularly love him."

—George "Ault's Sad, Everyday Beauty in Stillness," The New York Times, April 29, 1988
