The hamlet of Bridgehampton was settled in 1656 and aptly named for the bridge that was built to connect the settlements of Mecox and Sagaponack. Ninety miles from New York City; this rural farming community was transformed by the arrival of the Long Island Rail Road in 1870. With the notion that salt air and sea breezes were the perfect relief from the hot and sweltering isle of Manhattan; wealthy New Yorkers made the sojourn to the pristine shores of the Atlantic Ocean. On a trip down Ocean Road toward the beach; one would pass the grand homes of a toy importer; a pen manufacturer; a coal industrialist; a merchant tailor; and an inventor--the established summer colony. The region quickly gained a reputation as a pleasant summer resort--a reputation that still thrives today.

This rather learned piece documents his work in the 1960s with three artists and makes a compelling case for Dasein in the world of art. If it has a weakness; it is in the mingling of a critical stance with the inside look; as some of the facts get difficult to find in the middle of such compelling thoughts. They can; however; be unravelled with a bit of work. Lovely extension of the thinking.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
