Remembering The Colorful Life Of ‘Archie’ Illustrator Stan Goldberg

Art In Memory April 12, 2020

With more than six decades under his belt as a comic book artist, Mr. Goldberg’s passion blossomed at a young age while growing up during the 1930s in Manhattan. After just turning 17, he went to work for a company that would become Marvel Comics, helping to design the original color schemes of all the classic 1960s characters, including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Hulk.

“A lot of talent and a little luck I had at the beginning,” Mr. Goldberg said two years ago at the Box Art Auction preview, “and fell in at the right time.

Residence April 12, 2020

There was once a time when “modern” was not considered an aesthetic.

It was synonymous with innovation and forward thinking, first gaining popularity in the 1920s as it reshaped the design industry. It was a word for pushing bounds and drumming creativity — a challenging of the status quo, of sorts.

Most importantly, it was not a trend. It was a way of life.

When the three gongs sound, the Ocean Zendo practitioners take their seats in the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike — on cushions and mats, crossing their legs into full lotus, half-lotus and Burmese, or in chairs, their feet touching the floor, hands in their laps.

In the silence, their eyes do not close; instead, they drop to a 45-degree angle, unfocused, as they begin to breathe.
