Enfant, son éducation consiste principalement en l’étude de passages de la Bible. Il copie des textes bibliques, ce qui déterminera son intérêt pour la typographique et la calligraphie tout au long de sa vie.

April 19, 2013 The Past Is Present By  SARAH HARRISON SMITH Outside is the Queens you know, with all the amenities and hubbub of contemporary city life. But inside, Forest Hills Gardens is another world.

It is a disorienting transition, like stepping into a blurred fantasy of the past. THIS 175-ACRE COMMUNITY  of more than 800 houses and 11 apartment buildings, of churches, parks and storefronts, began in 1909 when the Russell Sage Foundation commissioned the architect Grosvenor Atterbury and the landscape architect  Frederick Law Olmsted  Jr. to plan a new town on a plot in Queens. They looked for inspiration to the new British “garden cities,” nostalgic experiments in urban planning intended t...

The Durst Organization and DFN Gallery Recently Presented BARBARA NESSIM Already Made in the lobby of 733 Third Avenue @ 46th St. New York In   Already Made , the six works on view are drawn from three distinct bodies of work made in the last decade. Reflecting the unspoken language whispered between lovers, 2003's "Love Letter" series evokes the abstract gestures and glances privately shared in public. "The Model Project," from 2008, investigates style, where every thing old is new again, constantly reinventing what is modern. "Chronicles of Beauty," commissioned in 2010 and installed in the Eventi Hotel, on 6th Avenue at West 30th St., compresses time, questioning the meaning and canon of beauty by looking back 3000 years to Greco-Roman sculpture and layering photographs with modern day elements. "These works, by celebrated artist Barbara Nessim, exemplify a contemporary approach to image making in the computer age. The digital era...
