Greenwood Cemetery of Brooklyn - Jeudi 11 octobre à partir de 9h
"It is the ambition of the New-Yorker to live upon the Fith Avenue, to take his airing in the Park, and to sleep with his fathers in Green-Wood."
Henry J. Raimond, founder of the New-York Times.

Fondé en 1838, Green Wood Cemetery est l'un des premiers cimetières jardins des-Etats unis. Il devient à la fin des années 1850, l'un des plus élégants cimetières, où les plus grands artistes et architectes de leur temps ont édifié mausolées, sculptures et monuments pour les plus grandes icônes new- yorkaises.
En Octobre 2006, Green Wood fut declaré officiellement monument historique. C'est le 4ème cimetière aux Etats-Unis a avoir reçu une telle distinction.
Ce tour guidé sera mené par Big Onion Tours. Leur guides specialisés dans l'histoire et l'architecture de NYC vous donneront un exposé fascinant sur ce trésor architectural de l'histoire New-Yorkaise avec des arrêts sur les tombes de DeWitt Clinton, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Leonard Bernstein, et John "The Soda Fountain King" Matthews.
Point de RV car pool : FASNY Larchmont à 9h Prix par personne : 26$

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
