Live Wire
An original mixed media painting by Nathalie Kalbach, signed in the lower right.
A streetscape, where the present and the past intertwine. The corner store, now a bookshop, shows a faded advertisement on the sidewall telling the story of a different era. An era of electric appliances, where Louis Migdoll and his wife Bessie reigned as the "Live-Wire Merchant."
For many in this city, the memories of the Electric Appliances Store and the Migdoll family remain vivid. Their tales are like live wires of the past, sparking fond recollections and shared experiences. They speak of Louis, well into his 70s, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, of seeking his expertise as an electrician on Arlington Ave, or simply waiting at the bus stop in front of the store, where the sign stood as a familiar landmark.
I wrote about this painting and the inspiration on Nat’s Sidewalk Stories “Live Wire”.
Acrylic Paint, Markers on 12″ x 12″ canvas
Note: This painting comes framed in a simple wooden floater frame
