In the Barber Shop, 1934
Ilya Bolotowsky, born St. Petersburg, Russia 1907
died New York City 1981
Brilliant reds, blues, and greens illuminate this ordinary New York barbershop. Ilya Bolotowsky, who made this painting for the Public Works of Art Project, a pilot program of government support for artists, expressed the challenge “to show a typical average drab barbershop and at the same time get a decorative effect through color." Ordinary details come to life with vivid hues: the barber using a straight razor to shave the man in the chair, the red cash register ready to ring up the bill, the spittoon sitting on the floor, and rows of bottles reflected repeatedly in "the endless corridor of two oppositely situated mirrors." A Russian immigrant himself, Bolotowsky enticed fellow immigrants to pose for him, including all four people pictured here, carefully selected by the artist. For him, people from around the world gathered in a New York barbershop embodied the American scene.
Born in Russia, Ilya Bolotowsky lived through World War I and the Russian Revolution, then fled to the United States while still a teenager. The violent upheavals of his early life led to his search for "an ideal harmony and order … a free order, not militaristic, not symmetrical, not goose-stepping, not academic."

The May 25th edition of the New Yorker features a poem by Philip Levine, an American poet who can count among his numerous awards the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1928, and he often portrays that city in his poetry: the grit as well as the grace. He digs deep into the lives of ordinary people, if there is such a thing.
I don't know if he came to American Art to see the exhibition 1934: A New Deal for Artists. Perhaps he read about it and visited online. Maybe we'll be lucky and he'll read the blog post and let us know the backstory.
In "1934," Levine celebrates his ancestors who came from the old country, namely Russia and Ukraine, and the hard work that defined their lives. These are the merchants and the butchers who came from another world. "My father's brother had a shoe repair shop," he writes, while, "My mother's family was in junk." The poem conjures many of the same strong visuals that are in American Art's exhibition. I went back to take another look at the paintings in the show and was struck by how often these scenes of American life were painted by those born elsewhere. Saul Berman, who painted River Front, was born in Russia, as was Ilya Bolotowsky. His painting, In the Barber Shop, is filled with daily humanity, poignancy, and most of all, hard work. Harry Gottlieb, whose painting Filling the Ice House, shines another light on the toughness of the 1930s, was born in Romania in 1895.
In a way these paintings are like poems: contained worlds whose imagery calls forth something deep inside ourselves. In Philip Levine's poem, the speaker seems most taken by his uncle's shoe shop. He never got tired of watching his uncle work, which was probably good training for a poet. The poem even ends with a bit of magic, as the uncle has made the boy a knife, which became a kind of talisman: "Whenever you're/ scared,' he told me, just rub the handle/ three times and nothing bad can happen."
That sounds like the ending to a fable or a tale told long ago by someone who came from another time, another place.

Experience America
The 1930s was a heady time for artists in America. Through President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs, the federal government paid them to paint and sculpt and urged them to look to the nation’s land and people for subjects. For the next decade — until World War II brought support to a halt — the country’s artists captured the beauty of the landscape, the industry of America’s working people, and a sense of community shared in towns large and small despite the Great Depression.
Many of the paintings in Experience America were created in 1934 for a pilot program designed to put artists to work; others were produced under the auspices of the WPA (Works Progress Administration), which followed. The thousands of paintings, sculptures, and murals placed in schools, post offices, and other public buildings stand as a testimony to the resilience of Americans during one of the most difficult periods in U.S. history. This display is drawn entirely from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection. SAAM holds the largest collection of New Deal art in the world.

During the Great Depression, president Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised a “new deal for the American people,” initiating government programs to foster economic recovery. Roosevelt’s pledge to help “the forgotten man” also embraced America’s artists. The Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) enlisted artists to capture “the American Scene” in works of art that would embellish public buildings across the country. Although it lasted less than one year, from December 1933 to June 1934, the PWAP provided employment for thousands of artists, giving them an important role in the country’s recovery. Their legacy, captured in more than fifteen thousand artworks, helped “the American Scene” become America seen.

Nagamori - Victoria's colleagues
Thoughts about Japan - OK Japan, here is one more thing you need to do before 2020. You need to listen to and understand the words of songs chosen by department stores that assault their unsuspecting customers. Yes, I do realise that the average customer does not understand the words and, if they are paying any attention at all to the music, they may be attracted to the beat but, the World is coming to Japan and if English-speaking tourists heard what I heard this morning, they'd be shocked and, this is saying a lot because I do not shock easily.
I was in Gifu's Loft (similar to the Bay) this morning on the 3rd floor (Halloween/Stationary/cards/luggage) and the music that was blasting away at 10:30am (actually, once you've finished reading this posting, you'll probably agree that no matter the time, the music choice was unacceptable) made me first, uncomfortable and then angry. For approximately 5 minutes, I was treated to rap lyrics that included (they were so disgusting that I had to write them down) 'You call this shit rape but I think that rape's fun, I just got one request, stop breathing'; 'F*** Mary ... keep that bitch locked up in my storage, rape her and record it' and finally, ''I wanna tie her body up and throw her in my basement, keep her there so nobody can wonder where her face went'. I asked a clerk if she understood the music that she was singing along with and she blushed and said 'no'. At this time of day, there were shoppers of all ages from toddlers to grandparents. If they only knew what they'd been listening to, they would probably complain to the store manager. I made my purchase and escaped to the second floor where the music choice was a bit more in keeping with the location and time of day.
By 2020, this must be fixed.
Further thoughts on Japan:
Even though Canadians would be scandalized, the colourful array of laundry drying on lines stretched across apartment balconies adds to the over all feeling of well-being in Japan. Perhaps if we permitted such colourful displays, the monotony of Canadian suburbia would be reduced.
Even though the population is much greater here than at home, I do not sense underlying frustration and impatience that I feel amongst Canadians. Even though everyone seems to be in a hurry in both countries, here, I have not witnessed people angry that they've missed a train or that someone got to the door before them and then let it swing shut in their face or constantly looking at their watch and huffing about how late they are going to be. Japan's infrastructure has been built with the express purpose of making transit as painless as possible whether on the roads, riding trains/buses or just walking on the streets. Of course the areas of Japan I visit most often have lovely weather the majority of the time with the odd typhoon and earthquake thrown in just to add a little excitement so, what I am about to write may be impossible to replicate in Ottawa.
Where we build out, Japan builds up making life here a vertical experience. Train stations are often elevated which means that where there is the need to build stairs, they are accompanied by covered outdoor escalators. Elevated sidewalks are covered (but not enclosed) from the elements which makes walking very enjoyable. An example of this is the location of Victoria's local train that takes her from her apartment to downtown Gifu. I have appreciated this route as I've taken the train from Gifu to Okayama, Nagoya, Takayama and Kyoto. The local train is owned & operated by a private company and does not let off at Gifu JR Station. There is a five minute walk between the two stations as well as a descending and ascending situation. The local comes in at an elevated station. After leaving, you must descend to the sidewalk using either stairs or escalator or elevator. After leaving the train, you are always outdoors but under a roof so that you will be dry but not necessarily warm as everything is open to the street. Walking along the sidewalk can be a bit of a challenge with bikes weaving between pedestrians (I can just hear you gasping that having bikes on sidewalks is dangerous. I've witnessed a couple of near misses but have not yet seen a collision. Cyclists here are not plugged into headphones and do not ride bikes that seat the rider over the handlebars. Japanese cyclists sit upright so are usually aware of their surroundings.) Gifu Station is 2 floors and train riders going to the station by foot enter on the second floor (the first floor has stores and restaurants). This means another outdoor covered escalator to a covered (sides open to the air) walkway that takes you to the station. Located along the walkway, are stores, a medical clinic and a travel agent. It is interesting that businesses survive without a street-level store front. Yesterday, I watched a delivery man manoeuvre stacking trays of breads, buns and oniguri out of an elevator from the street to the convenience store located on the elevated walkway. Infrastructure in Japan is amazing! Where there is a need, there is usually a solution provided.
Japan loves sliding doors. These take up far less space, are much quieter and no one gets hit going through. Swinging doors slow down the flow and often result in doors swinging shut just as you get there as no one bothered to hold it for that last second or having to hold doors as others rush through with no expression of appreciation to the door-holder.
Japan stores, again due to the weather, often have the entire store front open to the outside (plus, they continue to air condition the interior of the store). Canadian shoppers would consider the use of air conditioning to be wasteful as the store owner is air conditioning the outside air that is flowing in. In Japan, it just seems to be the way to get shoppers into your store. Again, it also makes life seamless ... it is much easier and feels friendlier to be entering a store or mall directly from the sidewalk without having to be funnelled through a door which you may have to open for yourself or hold open for others.
One of the things that I still can not get used to in Japan is the blaring of announcements from loud speakers mounted on cars and trucks that drive through the streets announcing concerts, store sales and, of course, during elections, campaign promises.
Oct 20/13 - Yesterday, Victoria and I started the day bright and early at her middle-school helping with Recycling Day. The school's 300 students plus teachers and parents were divided between 3 locations in Nagamori. Each location was responsible to receive & organized items droped off for recycling. One group collected clothing, another collected bottles & cans and our group collected newspapers & flyers. Citizens of Nagamori pulled up to a drop-off location, popped their trunk & the kids would grab bags & bundles, place them neatly along the roadway and then patiently wait for the recycling truck to pull up &, that's when the fun began. The 100 students we worked will had a great time throwing bundles of newspaper up into the truck. It was especially fun once a teacher jumped into the truck to help the recycling guys. The kids kept trying to throw the bundles to their teacher. I was amazed how well these kids worked together without constant parent/teacher nagging. Even while waiting for truck to return, the kids kept themselves entertained without any electronic devices or adult organization. After everything was picked up, the students went home for lunch and the teachers went to the school for lunch. After lunch, everyone was expected to return wearing their uniforms for an assembly. Later in the afternoon, there was going to be a parent vs. teachers volleyball game. Victoria and I left after lunch for our trip to Tokyo. While at Nagamori Minami Junior Highschool I met Masako Suzuki (English), Tomomi Kobayashi (English), Mr. Ryoji (Head Teacher & Science) and Mr. Kishimoto (Principal).
