A.S. Kirkman, son of Ralph Kirkman who brought Kirkman & Sons soap factory to Brooklyn (now Kirkman Lofts), was also a painter. He’s being featured for a piece called Modest In Victory – Magnificent in Defeat! Bill Bonthrom (a Princeton track star).
“This painting commemorates William Robert (Bonnie) Bonthron (1912-1983), track star of Princeton University, in his historic mile run against New Zealander Jack Lovelock in what is considered “the greatest mile of all time” or “the mile of the century”. The race occurred on July 15, 1933 during the sixth annual Oxford-Cambridge vs Princeton-Cornell track meet held at Princeton University. Bonthron broke the world record for the mile that day (setting the record for an American of 4:08.7) but was beat by Lovelock’s 4:07.6 minute mile.”
The painting will soon be on sale; check the Montchanin site for updates.

We recently learned about The Humans of New York project on Facebook. The page collects artistic portraits of strangers on the street, and their stories, from all neighborhoods and boroughs throughout New York City.
They post a few photos a day and give the back-story behind the photograph, or the people in the shot. Keep up with it everyday to find characters and to see the mix of people that make NYC an amazing melting pot of diversity.
“When I first spotted this girl she was crossing the road with her mother, hand-in-hand. Her mother was wearing a bright blue sari. They made quite a pair.
But when I asked them for a photo, the mother demurred. She didn’t seem distrusting, just shy. She pursed her lips into a smile and started shaking her head slowly. Meanwhile the daughter was nodding her head frantically. She tried to encourage her mother by tugging on her arm. The mother laughed and said: ‘Not me, but you can take a picture of her.’
The girl immediately assumed a self-satisfied pose.”
