 Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
With continuous and precise references to the images, Sciam's studies demonstrate how the Broadway Boogie Woogie is truly a representation of nature and human existence in its particular and universal aspects-- daily and eternal.
Precisely because it throughly expresses itself through a pure form-color relationship, it is able to speak to all cultures, thereby constituting a universal vision of the world.
Maybe it is not so fortuitous that the BBW was born and remains in New York City, a city where a planetary society has already begun for some time.

 Mondrian, Piet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Through the rhythem of differences and contrasts of a few colors and lines, with an appearence of both freedom and control in the opposition of the regular and the random, he effects a stirring expression of his delight in sensation and movement.
In conceiving Broadway Boogie-Woogie, Mondrian could well have been inspired by the sights of New York, the dazzling night spectacle of its high buildings with their countless points of light, and in particular the moving illumined signs at Times Square.
Mondrian was never freer and more colorful, and closer to the city spectacle in its double aspect of the architectual as an endless construction of repeated regular units and of the random in the perpetual movement of people, traffic, and flashing lights."

1944) completed Broadway Boogie-Woogie, his last finished painting, the year before his death, and in many ways the canvas is a very eloquent conclusion to his life and his painting career.
Surrounded by young American artists, he was fascinated by the skyscrapers, the lifestyle of the metropolis, and even by the boogie-woogie dance craze.
His New York paintings, including New York City 1, Broadway Boogie-Woogie and Victory Boogie-Woogie (unfinished on his death), also took on a new direction.

 The Primary Source Online - Broadway Boogie-Woogie
Ask a Bostonian what comes to mind when thinking of New York City, and he or she will likely proclaim "Yankees Suck!" Second to that, one might mention Times Square, which elicits images of dazzling light displays, megastores, and hordes of tourists.
Circuit shows find their way to Broadway in Boston's Colonial and Wilbur Theatres and may stay for as short a run as a few nights (such as in Mandy Patinkin's concert appearance at the Colonial Theatre) or run for as many weeks for which tickets can be sold.
Also, be sure to avoid Sons of Ulster, where at one show nearly a third of the audience walked out at intermission in disgust at a lacking plot and an insipid script.

 MoMA.org | The Collection | Piet Mondrian. Broadway Boogie Woogie. 1942-43
Mondrian's aesthetic doctrine of Neo-Plasticism restricted the painter's means to the most basic kinds of line—that is, to straight horizontals and verticals—and to a similarly limited color range, the primary triad of red, yellow, and blue plus white, fl, and the grays between.
But Broadway Boogie Woogie omits fl and breaks Mondrian's once uniform bars of color into multicolored segments.
Bouncing against each other, these tiny, blinking blocks of color create a vital and pulsing rhythm, an optical vibration that jumps from intersection to intersection like the streets of New York.

 Piet Mondrian, Art Gallery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Like Stuart Davis, Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872-1944) translated the colorful, rhythmic irregularities of swing era jazz into paint and used them to represent the modern American city.
As art historian Donna Cassidy writes, in Broadway Boogie-Woogie, jazz manifests itself in "irregular rhythms, flickering optical effects, and [a] grid plan," which recreate the experience of a New York City street.
The common use by artists of an abstracted jazz-inspired style to represent the quintessentially American city, New York, illustrates the notion of jazz and urban American life as a "perfect fit." As Gershwin suggests, jazz grew out of something "stored up in America"--something inherently American.

 Pac-Mondrian
Even though he was in his 70s at the time, when Mondrian arrived in New York and heard boogie woogie jazz he just had to get down!
The energy of the jazz rhythms pulsing through his body soon found their way down his arm and out his brush when he "put a little boogie" into his paintings.
Mondrian's goal for painting can easily be read as a description of the intricate percussion of contemporary dance music.

While analyzing Damon Runyon's work in terms of historical contexts, popular culture, and of the changing function of the media, Schwarz argues that Runyon was an indispensible figure in creating enduring images of New York City culture, which spurred an interest in the demi-monde and underworld exposed in "The Godfather films and "The Sopranos.
As part of his discussion of Runyon's art and artistry of Runyon's fiction, he skillfully examines the special language of the Broadway stories known as "Runyonese" and explains how "Runyonese" has become an adjective describing flamboyant behavior.

 Schwarz book on Damon Runyon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The writer and reporter Damon Runyon captured New York City's colorful lowlifes of the 1920s and '30s so indelibly that his legacy still lives on in American popular culture.
His new book, Broadway Boogie Woogie: Damon Runyon and the Making of New York City Culture, was released this spring by Palgrave Macmillan and is now in bookstores.
Runyon was among the first to "stylize both the language and the behavior of gangsters and depict them as another part of the socio-eonomic system, showing how the underworld provided clients with gambling, sex and hard-to-get sports tickets and, during Prohibition, with liquor," said Schwarz.
