5th Avenue & 52nd Street, Manhattan, 40 x 30 in.
"Fire hydrants are integral parts of the urban landscape, sometimes unnoticed, but they are all over the city, every block. I was excited when I saw the beautiful effect of the colored reflections dressing this fire hydrant. Maybe it is the artist’s duty to seek for hidden beauty in everyday simple things. Most of the time we are so busy doing the “urgent” that we don’t have time for the “important.”
I had felt the secret of an image was the contrasts in it. But it was very intuitive. Since I came to know Eli Siegel’s philosophy, my ideas have become more clear, more conscious and stronger, with more structure. Aesthetic Realism gave my intuitions more foundation." --JB
