For fans of the great Yiddish-American literary giant and this terrific photographer of NYC, I found this on Flavorpill and it sounds like a worthwhile show at the Jewish Museum:
Bruce Davidson’s 1972-73 documentary photographs of Polish Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer,
in his apartment and around town, capture old Manhattan. Singer on his
sofa, Singer in his study, Singer feeding the pigeons on Broadway —
these, along with Davidson’s photos of storefronts, merchants, and
denizens of the LES, tell the story of emigrants and Holocaust
survivors as they rebuilt their lives in New York. Next time you walk
down Orchard or Ludlow, think of the feet that once tread those streets
— which certainly weren’t clad in limited-edition Nikes. (EJ)Note: Admission is free on Saturdays.
