It’s enough to make you think (for a moment anyway) that you’re in South Beach not the South Bronx. Ambitious Art Deco buffs could keep going for miles (on foot or by bus) all the way to Fordham Road past the old Loew’s Paradise and cut east to eat in the Bronx’s Little Italy. r keep going to the… It’s also a chance to enter one of the ancient brownstones in the Mott Haven Historic District although in this case the interior has been redone in the Boring White Sheetrock style.

Museum’s bold design vibrantly blends old new

But the galleries are straightforward; you won’t find the art-defying angles that make his addition to the Denver Art Museum so controversial. The real show is outside where the profile of the substation is ruptured by those blue-steel-clad additions. ne pops up above the brick on the east slides low and then pushes into the alley beneath the larger cube.

He came from the island of St. If Trinidad was a dot on the map of the world it could be said that St. Lucia was a dot on that dot. And he had had his book published in Barbados… The fishermen rowing homeward in the dusk are not aware of the stillness through which they move. We lived in Trinidad on the all but shut-in Gulf of Paria between the island and Venezuela; that sight of fishermen silhouettes in the fast-fading dusk so precisely done detail added to detail was something we all knew.

I added to my income in those days by doing little five-guinea five-minute radio scripts for a magazine programme on the BBC Caribbean Service. I thought I would do something about the National Portrait Gallery and I went to see David Piper the director who also wrote novels under the name of Peter Towry (one of which I was to review three years later for the New Statesman). For some weeks the previous year 1954 when I was stiff with asthma and a general anxiety I had done a petty cataloguing job for the Gallery (of Vanity Fair caricatures by Spy and Ape and the others fascinating to me) for a guinea a day or half a guinea a half-day.
