Martin Lewis, Shadow Dance, 1930. Drypoint and sand ground.
According to Paul McCarron, author of a catalogue raisonné on Lewis's work, "The location depicted appears to be the intersection of Thirty-Fourth Street and Park Avenue, looking west."
Lewis has captured the bright summer sun setting across the Hudson River, its raking light forming long shadows from the figures walking east across Park Avenue. Among Lewis's most masterful prints are those depicting scenes of New York City life. These prints have historical interest, as the imagery captures the architecture and styles of the time, while simultaneously incorporating ephemeral moments. The time of day, the weather, the lighting, the street-level views--each aspect was important and added to the atmosphere of the scene. Lewis's use of shadows and light to create mood, life and movement is most powerful in his New York prints. Shadow Dance is among his most celebrated works, incorporating all of the aspects that make his prints such cherished glimpses into New York's bustling yester-year, while simultaneously capturing the timelessness of city life.
If I spat the bile this rose in my throat in this fascist, death-worshipping maniac's face it would melt the flesh off his skull.
At the same time as Dems were pouring sympathy on the orange baby's boo boo today, Israel massacred nearly a hundred Palestinians in the designated safe zone of al-Mawasi. The only hospital in Gaza is just barely functioning after having been shut down by the Zionists. Of the three hundred injured it's unsure who will be able to get any treatment or survive.
The beach is a perfect example of your environment can greatly influence your health. The calming waves and sandy shores hold a secret power - they recharge you on a cellular level!
The sand beneath your feet isn’t just grains; it’s silicon, akin to quartz crystal. Ever heard of piezoelectricity? It’s the magic that turns your steps into energy, making you a walking powerhouse of charge!
As you stroll along the shore, each step fuels you with newfound vigor. The wet sand? It’s a conductor, supercharging your energy transfer! So next time you’re at the beach, remember - you’re not just walking, you’re harnessing the beach’s boundless energy! 🤔
hm. i need a new retainer so that I'm not eating plastic quite so much . anyway if anyone wants to commission me to make this hurt my wallet slightly less (I'm uninsured 💔), go for it . Last time I had to replace a retainer like this it was $250 for one... Luckily! I only need one this time!
I cannot stress enough that this is not an emergency expense, I can cover it myself with my current income, but if you're looking to commission me anyway, then now would be an opportune time ❤️
