Discovering America

When I say that my first view of New York Bay struck me as something not of this Earth it is not a figure of speech. I vividly recall the feeling with which I greeted the first cat I saw on American soil. A large, black feline stood in a corner, eyeing the crowd of newcomers. The sight of it gave me a thrill. “Look!” I said to Gitelson, my newly acquired companion. And in my heart I added, “Just like those at home!”

We were ferried over to Castle Garden, where the harsh 10 manner of the immigration officers was a grievous surprise to me. As contrasted with the officials of my homeland, those of America had been portrayed in my mind as models of refinement. My anticipations were proven false. These unfriendly officials flavoured all of America with an icy inhospitality that sent a chill through my soul. However, we had no difficulty in being admitted to the United States.

Many of the other immigrants were met by relatives, friends. There were cries of joy, tears, embraces, kisses. All of which intensified my sense of loneliness. Gitelson, who like myself had no friends in New York, never left my side. It seemed as though he were holding on to me for dear life.

“Cheer up!” I said joyfully. “America is no place to be a coward. Come; pull yourself together.” I led the way out of the station, across Battery Park and under the railway to State Street. The active life of the strange city made me feel like one abandoned in the midst of a jungle. But the presence of Gitelson encouraged me. I mustered the bravery to approach a policeman, something I would never have done at home. However, my efforts to communicate were lost on him. With a grimace, he pointed in the direction of Broadway and strutted off majestically.

At this moment a voice hailed us. Facing about, we saw a middle−aged man. Prosperity was written all over his face and body, but he was unmistakably one of our people. Still, his very diamonds somehow told a tale of former want, of a time when he had landed, an impoverished immigrant like myself; and this made him a living source of encouragement for me.

“You’re a tailor, aren’t you?” he asked, his eyes eagerly fixed on Gitelson. My companion nodded. “Well come along; I have work for you,” he smiled. And then turning to me, “You have no trade, have you?” I shook my head. “Any relatives here? Well, don’t worry. If a fellow isn’t lazy, he has no reason to be sorry he came to America.”

We continued our walk past Bowling Green, with the stranger and Gitelson absorbed in conversation. The trim− looking crowds of lower Broadway impressed me as a multitude of counts, barons, princes. I was puzzled by their preoccupied faces and hurried step, which seemed at odds with their general high−born appearance. When we finally reached the post office, the bejewelled man turned to me, “Walk straight ahead,” he said, waving his hand toward Park Row. “It isn’t far from here.” With that, he slipped a silver quarter into my hand and made Gitelson bid me goodbye. The two then boarded a big red horse−car.        

I stood watching the receding vehicle with a sickening sense of abandonment. The grey hair of my timid companion haunted my brain as a hideous symbol of disloyalty. Then, with twenty−nine cents in my pocket, I set forth in the direction of East Broadway.

Graffiti - A Dangerous Way of Life

While scrawling graffiti is seen as a crime in the UK, yet in the US it has become a recognized art form.

Just a few weeks ago eight graffiti gang members were convicted of causing £5,000 worth of damage on the London Underground. They are among more than 70 hard-core graffiti artists thought to be operating in London today. Most are aged under 20.

Graffiti artists, or ‘graffers’, operate in many British towns. They often work at night, covering walls, trains and railway stations with brightly painted murals or scrawls in spray paint and marker pen.

Some people regard graffiti as a form of vandalism and a menace. London Underground says that railusers find it ugly and offensive. It spends £2m a year dealing with graffiti, and has even introduced trains with graffiti-resistant paint. “We don’t think it’s artistic or creative — it’s vandalism. It’s a huge nuisance to our customers, and it’s ugly and offensive,” says Serena Holley, a spokeswoman for the London Underground. “It creates a sense of anarchy and chaos,” says Richard Mandel, a barrister who prosecuted the graffiti gang. “Passengers feel as if the whole rail system is out of control.”

British Transport Police has a graffiti unit designed to catch graffers in the act. It spent five months tracking down the recently prosecuted gang.

Graffiti art can also be a dangerous pastime. The London Underground says that some teenagers have died in accidents during nocturnal graffiti ‘raids’.

However, others say that graffiti at its best is an art form. Art galleries in London and New York have exhibited work by increasingly famous graffiti artists. “Of course, graffiti is art.

There’s no question about that,” says David Grob, director of the Grob Gallery in London. Even some of those who think graffiti is wrong admit that graffers are talented. “It’s just that their artistic talent is channeled in the wrong direction,” says Barry Kogan, a barrister who represented Declan Rooney, one of the gang members.

There is a difference between ‘good graffiti’ and vandalism, says Dean Colman, a 24-year-old graffiti artist. “I’d never spray private property, like someone’s house. Some graffiti are disgusting. There’s a big difference between that and graffiti which can brighten up grey walls.”

Dean makes a living as a graffiti artist. His days of illegal spraying are behind him, he says. He has worked on a television programme about graffiti, designed a series of government posters, and decorated nightclubs. He has exhibited his work at Battersea Arts Centre in London, and he has taught graffiti-spraying in youth clubs.

Dean sees himself as an artist, and thinks that graffiti art does not get due recognition. “There’s no graffiti art in the Tate Gallery and there should be,” he says. “Graffiti is a valid as any other art form.”
