</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the things I like best about being Jewish is the fact that decorative arts are so interwoven into our traditions, both at home and in public spaces. This is an outgrowth of the ethic known in Hebrew as </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Hiddur Mitzvah</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, which translates roughly as "the beautification of a commandment." Judaica in silver and gold, wood, glass and earthenware abounds in the form of candlesticks, wine goblets, tzedakah (charity) boxes, mezzuzot (door post prayer boxes), seder plates, spice boxes, and -- of course -- menorahs, which are traditionally placed in windows, to illuminate and affirm miracles for all.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This hilarious and stellar Roz Chast show was featured at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA in the fall of 2015. I loved it, and blogged about it, and was delighted to hear that it <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">later moved on to </span>the Museum of the City of New York -- another favorite venue of mine. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There
are some artists who move us with their wisdom and unique perspective,
and others who amuse us with their wit. Some uplift us with their
humanity, or perplex us with their inscrutability. It's the rare artist
who succeeds in doing all of these at once. One of them is New Yorker
cartoonist and author Roz Chast, whose prolific output is currently on
display at the <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Museum of the City of New York. </span><i>Cartoon Memoirs</i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i> </i></span>is simply a "mustn't miss"
show<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. </span></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We could all use some laughs right about now!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Free-spirited, bold and enigmatic Irish designer Eileen Gray (1878–1976), was an inspirational figure to the Art Deco and modernist movements. “C’est absurde!”, she would often say about the dramatic rise, fall and eventual rebirth of public admiration for her singular artistry. As a woman struggling to build a career in a man’s world, an Irishwoman living in France, an aristocrat moving in bohemian circles and a natural rebel who was nonetheless demure and retiring, she was unselfconsciously at ease being the “other.”</span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br />It mattered not to her whether her pioneering designs in lacquer, furniture and architecture were celebrated by the likes of Vogue magazine: “She stands alone, unique, the champion of an unusually free method of expression”; or famed French architect René Herbst: he called her “the most gifted of our generation”; or essentially forgotten, as they were by the 1940s, a time when the contributions of female artists were regarded dismissively ..."</i></span></span></div>

expression of our collective sentiment. For 2016, it picked <i>Rose Quartz
and Serenity</i> (aka Baby Pink and Baby Blue) as commentary on the gender
fluidity movement. Last year, Pantone selected <i>Greenery</i>, a metaphor for the the reconnection we seek with nature, one another, and a larger purpose.”</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Ultra Violet is a very provocative shade, but it’s also a thoughtful
color–it sounds like a bit of an oxymoron. This is the
kind of color attached, historically, to originality, ingenuity, and
visionary thinking. People are looking for that
‘magic bullet,’ and this shade is the perfect shade to lead </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With winter darkness coming on, </span>I recommend this book as a tonic to the spirits. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In their engaging and comprehensive volume, authors Joann Eckstut and Arielle Ekstut explore the subject of color from every imaginable angle -- spiritual, biological, chemical, sociological, artistic and historical, to name but a few. Open the book to any page and you'll find a plethora of diverse images and intriguing insights. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The chapter on red is particularly vibrant, with photos of and informative notes on a blazing Russian revolutionary poster, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a gathering of cardinals at the Vatican,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a matador at work,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the sparkling ruby slippers from the <i>Wizard of Oz</i>.

Along the way, short sidebars answer questions such as "How do animals see color?" and "Why are waves white?", and reference expressions like "red herring", "green with envy" and "talk a blue streak".</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are enchanted by color, this is the book for you.</span><br />
