Webutuck Vuitton
A 'milk run' from Paris to Kansas City....to Paris- 1920s-1956
As written by Hotchner In 1956, Ernest and I (A. E. Hotchner) were having lunch at the Ritz in Paris with Charles Ritz, the hotel’s chairman, when Charley asked if Ernest (Ernest Hemingway) was aware that a trunk of his was in the basement storage room, left there in 1930. Ernest did not remember storing the trunk but he did recall that in the 1920s (GASTON) Louis Vuitton had made a special trunk for him. Ernest had wondered what had become of it. Charley had the trunk brought up to his office, and after lunch, Ernest opened it. It was filled with a ragtag collection of clothes, menus, receipts, memos, hunting and fishing paraphernalia, skiing equipment, racing forms, correspondence and, on the bottom, something that elicited a joyful reaction from Ernest: 'The notebooks! So that’s where they were! Enfin!' There were two stacks of lined notebooks like the ones used by schoolchildren in Paris when he lived there in the ’20s. Ernest had filled them with his careful handwriting while sitting in his favorite café, nursing a café crème. The notebooks described the places, the people, the events of his penurious life."
Two Prompts:
A. Ernest Hemingway's custom trunk designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton forgotten and left somewhere in the basement of the Hôtel Ritz Paris. The notebooks processed in Cuba. Published posthumously as "A Moveable Feast". Not just the notebooks, but the trunk.
B. A 'milk run' from Webutuck Spring Farm (1898, 1904,1954) to New York City to Webutuck. One route over another. I-684, NY 22. This route now has tolls.

Richard Baim:
Baim will show a series of photos exploring the nature of life and death. All living organisms proceed through the same life processes, mostly in a linear progression to the ultimate conclusion. Along the way many of these “organisms” offer fleeting moments of great beauty, only to be followed by a descent towards lifelessness. In this transition, there are moments where the signs of demise become apparent. In some cases, the decaying parts are juxtaposed with the living making a visual comparison obvious, and necessary. In other images we see a number of genera at the same stage of decay. The hope is that we see in all phases of life there are jewels to be found, not necessarily obvious, but apparent if sought. |
