Growing up in the cultural melting pot that was New York City's Lower East Side, painter Belle Manes (b. 1930) was encouraged from an early age to record her impressions visually. Of her work she says, " "Our lives are comprised of memories of the past to learn from, the present to apply what we learn, and the future which gives us the dreams and incentive to grow from the present." This painting, with it's subtle forms and muted earth tones is Manes' meditation on 'Afternoon Shade'.
