“It is not hard to understand
modern art. If it hangs on a wall,
it’s a painting, and if you can
walk around it, it’s a sculpture.”
~ Tom Stoppard

Art Café Hemingway in Kapaa, Kauai
Dining Outside the Home: Art Café Hemingway in Kapaa, Kauai. Living life in true island-style comes easy as you step over the threshold into an atmosphere that is both rustic European and casual charm. Choose a cozy table for two on the edge of the room to appreciate the artistic ambience, natural light, and blend of pleasing aromas in the air. Natural ingredients, locally grown, make every dish unique. For breakfast order The Nest, for instance, served in a vintage bowl. Multigrain bread cubes fill the bottom. Then a layer of alfalfa sprouts cradle a poached egg smothered in hollandaise sauce. Appreciate its beauty before gently piercing the egg. Watch the thick yellow yolk ooze forth. Try not to drool. Now enjoy every bite. “Time is the least thing we have of,” said Ernest Hemingway long ago. Perhaps it is the secret of a good life.
Window of the Mind
“Art is the window to man’s soul.
Without it, he would never be able
to see beyond his immediate
world; nor could the world
see the man within.”
~ Lady Bird Johnson
The Movement of Sound
“Music expresses that which
cannot be said and on which
it is impossible to be silent.”
~ Victor Hugo
The Art of Listening
“The ability to simplify means
to eliminate the unnecessary
so the necessary may speak.”
~ Hans Hofmann
Study the Bird
“History repeats itself,
but the special call of an art
which has passed away
is never reproduced.
It is as utterly gone out
of the world as the song of
a destroyed wild bird.”
~ Joseph Conrad
Timelessness is Art
“Architecture is a visual art,
and the buildings speak
for themselves.”
~ Julia Morgan
Create a World of Intrigue
“It is not easy
to find something
that will intrigue
and bind your interest
and enthusiasm. This you must
seek for yourself.”
~ Walter Annenberg
