Reginald Marsh, Battery Park, ca. 1926. Oil on canvas.
"The Battery is one of Marsh's early oils, painted just after his three his three-year stint as a staff illustrator for the New York Daily News where he drew a daily column of theatrical sketches. At the time Marsh was involved in designing theatre curtains for 'The Greenwich Village Follies' and he had recently collaborated with the set designer Robert Edmund Jones on curtains and sets for the Provincetown players. These facts are brought to mind by the stage-like look of this canvas. …
Marsh's narrative skill is already apparent. He dramatically conveys the effect of the wind with the billowing smoke from the tug boats in the harbour and one of the women holding on to her hat in the breeze. The tallest of the men conversing is momentarily distracted by the appearance of the three women and he gazes in their direction. The bright sunny day is conveyed by the clear bright colors and the shadows cast by the figures."
--Gail Levin, Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum

I think it must be around 10 years ago, when I was scrolling down my phone, deeply invested in the book that I was reading. If you are expecting a fancy novel then I am sorry because I was immersed in a chick-flick written by a now published author – A.V. Geiger. “It’s only temporary” had all the twists and turn that my teenage heart was wanting to read. Honestly growing up, I must have read…

The Goodyear baby dirigible Puritan would have visited folks at Battery Park in lower Manhattan had it not been for the high winds, September 27, 1928. The little air ship was flown to Roosevelt Field, L.I. from Lakehurst, N.J.. From there, it flew over the city, then swooped low over the Battery, where it dropped a note saying that high winds prevented the scheduled landing.

Three stained-glass medallions that tell an allegorical story of justice in America, made by James “Yaya” Hough, were formally unveiled at Esplanade Plaza in Battery Park City this weekend.
For Hough, who served 27 years in prison upon being handed a life sentence as a minor, the triptych of five-foot circular pieces integrates specific references to the United States’s history of injustice through imagery of chains and hooded Klansmen, and more universal iconography of freedom and justice rendered in an Art Deco style.
“I’m excited about this commission because it opens the public space up to a new voice that people don’t typically hear from particularly in a positive way,” Hough told Hyperallergic. “This voice is trying to speak about justice as it relates to how we live in this country, how we bring equity and fairness to this country, how we do that through looking at aspects of our past, and how we realize something better through contemplation of that — in this case through art.”
