Pentimento: Why I Love the West Village from the Archives #554

            R.I.P. Manatus Restaurant
I haven't added to this album in a long time. Walking home from the subway I saw that Manatus has been shuttered as of April 6. No more late night Manatus Burgers Deluxe with Blue Cheese instead of Cheddar, and a Chicken Noodle Soup. 23 Years it's been a WV regular.

Pentimento. "Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento, because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again. That is all I mean by [the photos in this album]. The paint has aged now and I wanted to see what was there for me once, what is there for me now." Lillian Hellman
