ART GALLERY - Isaak Levitan

(click to enlarge)
Isaak Il'ich Levitan [Russian Painter, 1860-1900] - Above the Eternal Peace, 1894, Oil on canvas. The Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia.
In Above Eternal Peace Levitan has created an image so beautiful and so memorable that it would be difficult to dismiss it lightly as just another landscape painting. As much as painting an image of the Russian land, Levitan evokes a mood of peace and tranquility that becomes inseparable from the idea of space and freedom, and from the universal quality of beauty and art. Benois said that Levitan "felt that Nature lives and praises the Creator," and no painting expresses this sentiment quite like Above Eternal Peace.

Street Chess

Playing blitz games in the park. "How about a game? Three, five, or ten, 5-minute or any time you want." Regardling chess hustlers...try thinking of them as "street artists" and you may get a clearer idea of the range of people involved. Some are homeless. Some are homeless by choice. Some are people who show up to play in the parks two or three days a week, and may have other jobs (other lives) on other days and a fair number are students.
