But now with the body, there was also Finsterstein and a long shadow in the room as the sunless December day ended early. A long night lay ahead, cold like the corpse and winter to come. No stocking for the stiff, he thought. If he wanted a cozy chat there was Santa at Macy’s. The broken glass on the floor from his window on tomorrow reflected shards of streetlight. He buried his hand in the desk drawer, pulled out the shot glass and poured a stiff one.

Kertész
As an answer to a request that was made this morning: the latest retrospective book on André Kertész published by the Jeu de Paume is simply titled: "Kertész".
360 pages, well-documented and illustrated, for the first time showing reproduction of Kertész's publications in the weekly illustrated press of the 1930s, with an extensive biography and bibliography. I just got mine in English from amazon.com.
["Le Jeu de Paume" is the name of the National Center for Photography in Paris]

Mike Hammer greets the winter holidays, or "A Fist Full of Snow", part 9
9 of 10 Exiting at Gun Hill Rd., they went aways then turned into the burger joint’s parking lot. The two overhead neon street lights were white like the little building. It happened fast. A .32 automatic snapped twice, a third time. He leapt from the car seat, but it was over. He couldn’t help the tear.

Mike Hammer greets the winter holidays, or "A Fist Full of Snow", part 8
8 of 10 From the open window, he saw his car disappear in the swirling snow. She left a track that slammed him with a long-lost memory. He saw them years ago driving down the Bronx River Parkway on a warm fall night, the top down on the sport coupe. They passed Woodlawn Cemetery in the darkness, and laughed as they headed to the all-night burger joint.

Mike Hammer greets the winter holidays, or "A Fist Full of Snow", parts 6 & 7
6 of 9 She didn’t come by often, but when she did, Hammer had a soft spot for helping. Sure she could borrow his wheels for a weekend in Pocantico Hills. He preferred the city sidewalks anyway, and had black tie plans for the evening at the Metropolitan Club.
7 of 9 From his winter coat by the door, he tossed her the keys to the Sky Hawk. He preferred its nimbleness to the front-heavy Golden Hawk. “The tank’s full. Be good to me, babe. Be good to me.” She ran her hand down his sleeve, gave him a wink & his hand a soft squeeze. A key dropped to the floor.

Mike Hammer greets the winter holidays, or "A Fist Full of Snow", parts 4-5
She came into his office like a tropical breeze on a warm, sandy beach. The steam radiator let off a whistle by the open window. She smiled, “Who’s the fresh one here, you or the radiator? I haven’t gotten that treatment in years.” Hammer put the shot glass into the open drawer behind the desk.
The black satin shift that hugged her could not have had a better occupant. He moved like a panther from behind the desk. His hand slide around the back of her neck, under her soft dark hair. They kissed hard.

Mike Hammer greets the winter holidays, or "A Fist Full of Snow"
Mike Hammer greets the winter holidays, "A Fist Full of Snow"
In the snow, traffic inched along the city street like a broken Bloomingdale’s escalator at Christmas. Mike Hammer clenched a stogie in his teeth & the steering wheel like a Chinese butcher with a cleaver working hard at lunch time. All the others were little Southern grannies new to the drifting dust, snow crystals glimmering in the evening headlights. Hands clasped behind his head, he gunned the car in neutral.
Against the cold wind, Finsterstein shuffled roughly through unshoveled sidewalk snows. He was in hurry to reach Hammer’s midtown office. The air bit his face like a yapping terrier. Woman & children with holiday gift packages keep appearing in his path like obstacles at a target range. His hand tightened on the gold pendant in his coat pocket. He had to have the answer, yesterday. Hammer would help he hoped.
He threw open the office door on the third floor, his cheeks flush from climbing the stairs. Hammer was there, feet up on the desk, the window open to the December snow and the Frigidaire air conditioner blowing. He snatched the gatt from the desk top, then spun the cylinder. Finsterstein dug his hands deeper in his wet trench coat. "Howya been, Mike? I see you still like it in the cooler."

Art For Peace
Greetings,
I am passing along this information even though, as you read on, you will see that it is not current. It has come to my attention that the project is ongoing, and artists throughout the world are invited to participate. In fact, the “black box” containing the instructions has arrived in Rochester. If it is of interest to the group, I can arrange to have it presented at a Tuesday morning meeting.
It is my understanding that there is no financial requirement to participate. When your project is finished, the box is sent on to another artist.
The goal is to have participation in every nation in the world. I am seriously considering doing one myself. I do not have all the answers, but the box comes with an explanatory CD. If anyone, or the group, is interested I can be reached at:

The Missing Peace: Artists Consider The Dalai Lama: is an international art exhibition and educational project celebrating and exploring the many paths of peace.
Eighty-eight artists from thirty countries are contributing new and disarming works of art to the Missing Peace.
Inspired by the Dalai Lama, the artworks present diverse “portraits” of human capacities for compassion , non-violence, empathy, patience, courage, restraint, and responsibility.
“We must make this new century a century of peace and dialogue.” – the Dalai Lama
The Missing Peace will touch millions and give people the opportunity to think about, talk about, experience, and create peace.
The multi-year journey of the exhibition opened at UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, Los Angeles, in June, 2006. Next stops include: The Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA) in Chicago, October 28-January 15, 2007 and the Rubin Museum of Arts (RMA) and school of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City, March 3-September 4, 2007. The tour is expected to go to more than ten major cities of the world.
The K -12 Missing Peace curricula will engage school children around the world in discussions about peace and ethics.
Become a partner in peace. Visit http://www.tmpp.org.

Speaker Susan Ferrari Rowley Tuesday Oct 26th
The simplicity of the forms created by Ferrari Rowley, elicit a time/space phenomenology concerning human relationships. Form exists as meaning with lines, planes, and volume integrating via translucency, light and shadow. Paradoxes reside in our perception of interiors and exteriors, and the yielding v. non-yielding materials
Highway wall - Susan Ferrari Rowley
Susan Rowley is a local sculpture and artists with many accomplishments.
She will share her work and talk about three dimensional art.

Rare Italian Baroque Organ
Renowned Artists Mark 5th Anniversary
This fall, the Eastman School of Music Organ Department commemorates five years since a stunning 18th century Italian baroque organ was installed in the Memorial Art Gallery.
Since its installation, the beautiful authentic sounds of the organ have been heard by thousands of people who have come to the weekly Sunday mini-recitals or the special Organ Showcase Concerts by internationally known guest artists and Eastman musicians. The only full-sized Italian baroque organ in North America, the organ provides a unique opportunity to hear 18th-century organ music as its composers envisioned it.
"The instrument is a living, breathing, singing work of art," said David Higgs, chair of Eastman's organ department. "It is one of the oldest organs now in America, and its sound has a profound effect on the musical sensibilities of those who hear it."
The organ was built around 1770 in central Italy by an anonymous artisan. Its lavishly ornamented, carved, and gilded 22-foot tall case links the instrument to the Italian court culture of the Tuscany or Naples region. Each side of the case features a 10-foot high painting of a vase of flowers. The crown ornament is adorned with an unusual motif depicting St. Andrew. Boasting 600 pipes, the masterpiece is as much a feast for the eyes as for the ears.

Art Studio Space
Good day friends,
I hope this finds you well. I have returned from a long sojourn back to Roc, as of Friday. I now find I am searching for an additional room mate at my studio at Anderson Alley. The 3 of us would share 600 sq. ft. (200 per person), the rent would be approximately $185 a month. Kathleen is a pastel landscape painter and I will do mixed media. My huge table will be disassembled to offer a new type of creative space. Please spread the word. I need to make changes soon in the studio or give it up.
Call me to discuss. 585-473-6988 or email: susankukle@gmail.com
thanks!
Susan

From Steve Barley
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted that Jeno Horvath asked me to be a guest at your meeting. Your artistic diversity, your mastery of your disciplines, and your welcoming attitudes amazed me. Thank you so much for a good time, and for the promise of more good times ahead. Jeno has been my colleague for years. My wife, Joyce, and I have many of his works of photographic art in our home, so we are able to enjoy his expressions whenever we please.
My forms of expression in verbal arts have included writing for Eastman Kodak Company, Xerox Corporation, and other companies. If any members of ABG wish to have me cooperate in their ventures, I shall be glad to give it my best.
I look forward to being with you Tuesdays.
Sincerely,
sd barley

Hi all,
"What makes a good piece of art?"
The theme was raised by Judith last Tuesday. Let's try and answer it the best we can from our points of view (we are all beholders after all, aren't we? ;o) ).
Think of what the question also raise:
- there can be some "bad" piece of art (otherwise why use "good" in front of "piece of art?). If you agree that there can be "bad" and "good" art, try to think of examples of what you would call bad art and of the reasons why it is so for you? Sometimes trying to define opposites helps define their contrary: defining bad art may help us understand what "good art" is.
- some may disagree on the use or bad or good art, thinking "good" in front of "art" is redundant and that "bad" art may not be art at all... and then we are left with the recurring question (guess which one? ;o) ), simply...
...what is "art"?
It could be a good idea to come to Tuesday's meeting with your own definition of art (not just one from the top of our heads at the last minute which may end up with our repeating the eternal same vague clichés).
Food for the week-end,
Best,
Bruno

Future Tuesday AM topic
I'm just now thinking about a web site for myself, and feel quite at sea about the best way, or variety of ways, to go about it. How about a sharing on some Tuesday AM meeting about website development/construction, some of the resources available, and pros and cons of having your own vs. being part of an organization's site?

Explore the narrative and painterly potential of kilnformed glass.
Working with Bullseye glass, frit, powder, and stringer, students will create pre-fired design elements to be used in subsequent glass projects, combined with other glass techniques and/or adapted to other media. Stenciling, sifting and sgrafitto with powders are some of the processes to be covered. Opacity, transparency, and design concepts will also be considered. Students will combine these kilnforming processes in a final project.
