New
Beginnings Welcome to the new art&culture magazine.
Over the past 10 years that we’ve been publishing this magazine, the
cultural sector of Palm Beach County has grown immensely. Newly de-
veloped arts districts, flourishing cultural organizations, and an influx of
both residents and tourists are key factors in the county’s development.
Since its inception, art&culture has evolved into the definitive source
for all things cultural in Palm Beach County. And now we’ve started work-
ing with the team at Palm Beach Media Group to bring you the next step
in advancement for the magazine, which you now hold in your hands.
While this first issue of the redesigned and reimagined art&culture
may look different, the mission is still the same as it was when we began
more than a decade ago: to bring readers the best of the best in features,
photography, and coverage of the arts and cultural scene in Palm Beach
County.
We hope you continue to enjoy our magazine for many years to come.

“ It is Dutch artists like Vermeer

who most influence my work
today. His use of light is utterly
distinctive and so, so beautiful.”
—Photographer Libby Volgyes
CHRIS LEIDY
With an adventurous spirit and a fearless attitude, underwater photographer
Chris Leidy (“Into the Deep,” page 32) captures awe-inspiring images, trans-
porting viewers to another world where they can share in his experiences. Drawn
to the abstract, he’s a big fan of Greek artist Haris Lithos, who uses “tools” like
teddy bears and women’s buttocks to create his unique pop-style prints. The
photo essay in this issue highlights images from Leidy’s recent trip to the Arctic.

times photographer) Susie Stanton

Capri, giving the production a Mediterranean flair
well suited to its South Florida audience. July 6–9,

BY SCOTT EYMAN
STORYTELLER
Edel Rodriguez
Everybody has a story, but Edel Rodriguez’s life is a
novel. At the age of 9, he and his family came to America
from their native Cuba in the Mariel boatlift. They settled
in Hialeah, where his mother was a seamstress and his
father worked odd jobs.
Today, he is a successful illustrator with multiple Time
magazine covers to his credit, as well as a fine artist and
a children’s book author.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is known as the American
dream.
This spring, as Rodriguez speaks to local students as
part of the April Is for Authors series, he also showcases
some of his art at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach
County North Gallery (through April 15).
His emphasis is on possibilities—art is only one of per-
haps thousands. His discussions touch on his art as well
as his life, and how the one defined the other.
As he explains it, his own path was set early. “Ever since
I was a kid, I was drawing,” he says. “Every year, I would
get awards at school for my art, so my parents knew. Their
message to me was, ‘Study hard so you don’t have to do
the stuff we have to do.’” He followed their advice (and his
talents) and ended up at Pratt Institute in New York.
Rodriguez’s work is steeped in the traditions of Cuban
art, of the tropically colorful mixed with vivid iconogra-
phy. It’s art as propaganda, and vice versa.
His central message is that combining life and art
mandates talent and passion mediated by a sense of
balance—as with negotiating the difference between
commissioned work and personal expression.
“You might write an article and also poems, and you
like them both,” he says. “It’s not that one is superior to
another. If I’m doing an illustration for a magazine, [it] is
published quickly, and I see my work affect people. It’s
immediate. But with fine art, it can take decades to have
an impact.”
Whatever his medium, “the immigrant experience has af-
I come from, how I got here.... The best thing being an immi-
grant did for me was having parents who made sure I knew
I was here for a reason. ‘We didn’t leave Cuba behind for
nothing,’ they would tell me. ‘You have to take advantage of
this country.’ There has to be a purpose to life.” ‡

INTO There’s beauty in the unpredictable,
and even in the dangerous.
THE

Photographer Chris Leidy found it.

BY MICHELLE LEE RIBEIRO
“I’m so claustrophobic, you don’t understand.” This com-
ing from a man who spent three weeks last summer diving
through holes in the Arctic ice wearing a 50-pound lead
vest, sinking into the deep blue sea under a frozen 8-foot-
thick ceiling.
For Chris Leidy, facing that fear was necessary to cap-
ture the images milling around in his mind’s eye. And really,
it wasn’t hard for him to overcome. “Down there, you’re in
the zone, so you lose any kind of fear or thoughts of being
trapped,” he says. “It’s so spiritual—everywhere you look,
you’ve never seen anything like it before. The air bubbles
start to look like mercury; it’s trippy. I was like a sponge
soaking it all up.”

“In the open water, you
are often greeted by large

“Sometimes you get lucky to
find a natural crack running
across the floating ice sheet,
which allows for beautiful

happening here.”

ICE VEIN
“This is a shot taken topside
of a weather-made crack in a
35,000-year-old iceberg.”

For the past 10 years, Leidy’s wanderlust has taken

him to exotic locales like French Polynesia, Vanuatu, and
Papua New Guinea, where he captures underwater imag-
es so beautiful in their abstraction you sometimes forget
how very real it all is. This isn’t a bunch of post-production
magic. Leidy, as he describes his process, edits in camera:
“I see something I want to shoot and visualize how I want
it to appear, setting my camera—white balance, exposure—
so the end result looks like what I’m seeing. There’s expres-
sion in all types of art, but my thought is, what I see when
I take the shot... That should be the image.”
Shooting in 20-degree water was a major departure for
the Palm Beach native, who is represented by New York’s
esteemed Marlborough Gallery. He traded his wet suit for
a uniform that consisted of two pairs of long johns, two
pairs of wool socks, a long-sleeved tee, a down onesie,

down boots, and a dry suit. Every morning, he and his Inuit guides would
head out of their yurt, hop on a dog sled or snow mobile, and zoom out
to an ice-locked berg. They’d drill a hole, and Leidy would shimmy down
and let nature dictate the outcome.
“There’s a current pulling you, it’s dark, and the elements are so in-
tense,” he says. “Some guy you just met is holding this rope attached to
you. He’s your lifeline. You hear cracking and the ice moaning. It’s wild,
man…. But I just went out there. I had a vision of my photos and was go-
ing to take whatever came at me, as it came.” marlboroughgallery.com ‡

The COLLECTOR
Beginning with a Frankenthaler in 1970, Ronnie Heyman has amassed an incredible cache of enviable
artwork. She walks us through the journey that filled her Palm Beach home with memories.
By Susie Stanton Staikos | Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz
art&culture 41
 W e flock to see outstanding museum art
collections and must-see exhibitions,
but nothing compares to viewing the best
of the best in a living room of a magnificent apartment
with high ceilings; elegant, classical architectural fea-
tures; and a bright, comfortable atmosphere. In such an
environment, each piece of art becomes an individual
character inhabiting the space, and the experience is
breathtaking.
So it is at the Palm Beach home of Ronnie Heyman.
Over 40 years, Ronnie and her late husband, Samuel,
built a collection of supreme quality, covering the post-
war era and the pantheon of contemporary artists from
both sides of the Atlantic, with the occasional look back
at artists who influenced those who followed.
The Heymans were a team. Samuel took on the more
scholarly aspects, researching each new piece they had
their eye on, while Ronnie took charge of the display
of the works they acquired. “We were a good combo,”
Ronnie says. “It was the focus of our life, a pastime we
could pursue together.”
After marrying in 1970 and establishing their first
home in Connecticut, the Heymans soon hankered for
paintings to fill the empty walls. Ronnie’s father directed
them to Harold Diamond, a New York dealer, who in-
troduced the couple to works by Willem de Kooning

 “We got the bug,” Ronnie says. “At the time,
SoHo was coming up, and our weekends were
spent exploring galleries and looking at a range of
works including the incomparable Cindy Sherman,
whom we subsequently collected.” A grouping of
Sherman’s early black and white Untitled Film Stills
is displayed in Ronnie’s Palm Beach home.
The 1990s saw a resetting of their collection. “It
was a watershed for us,” says Ronnie. “We were
now able to collect museum-quality paintings.”
The game changer, she says, was a must-have
early Roy Lichtenstein: Engagement Ring. This
seminal work, created in 1961 at the height of the
Pop Art movement, greets guests in the entrance
hall of her home. The importance of its placement
speaks volumes about its importance to its own-
er. An early work by Alex Katz, Thursday Night I
(1974); a de Kooning, Untitled XII (1982); and a
discreet Jackson Pollack, Number 13 (1949) cre-
ate a stunning prelude to the living room, where
a Donald Judd, a Sam Francis, and a Joan Mitchell
immediately catch the eye.
Ronnie recalls the hunt for a Rothko. It took
some time before she saw one that spoke to her.
In due course, Reds, painted in 1956, became
available and now hangs between two extraor-
dinary and powerful paintings by Francis Bacon,
Crouching Nude (1961) and Self Portrait (1978).
Behind the grand piano hangs the large Robert
Rauschenberg, Press (1964), with its characteristic
silkscreen newspaper cuttings and photographic
images transferred to the canvas. This is shortly to
be loaned to MoMA’s major Rauschenberg retro-
spective, opening May 21. “I’ll only loan to MoMA,”
she says, pointing out that she owes much of her
art education to the late William Rubin, director
of MoMA’s painting and sculpture department in
the 1970s and ’80s. After his retirement, he became
Ronnie’s art adviser. “I had Bill all to myself,” she
says proudly.
A 1918 Léger painting opened a new window
and motivated the Heymans to take a serious look at
artists like Giacometti, who became a firm favorite
with Samuel. In the Heyman home, the artist’s Walk-
ing Man I (1960) stands tall in mid-stride, making
his unmistakable presence felt with characteristic
elongated, pinched form. In contrast is Land, Sea
and Air (1982), a grouping of three life-size figures
by British contemporary artist Antony Gormley. IN THE LIVING ROOM: A UNIQUE CAST OF ANTONY GORMLEY’S

opportunities, or regrets, along the way, Ronnie recalls: “Giacometti’s
Pointing Man was the one that got away. Sam always regretted it.”
The Heymans became well known as collectors and, in time, were
getting calls from galleries offering works that came onto the market.
Samuel would rush over to his library of art books and catalogs to
look up each piece and decide whether to buy. On one occasion, he
took an overnight flight for a one-day visit to a bank vault in Japan to
purchase a large Pollack, which now hangs in Ronnie’s Manhattan
apartment, where a great part of the collection resides. “Each apart-
ment has a different mood,” says Ronnie. “The one in New York has
darker tones suitable for the city. The two Bacons in New York are
dark and fit better up there then they would in Florida.”
Ronnie and Samuel came to Florida in 1978 and moved to one of
Palm Beach’s historic buildings in 1981. Ronnie’s attachment to the
town has brought her close to the Norton Museum of Art, where she
is a trustee who has contributed generously to the current renova-
tion. Says Ronnie of the new Norton: “[Executive Director] Hope
Alswang is an intrepid leader, and her choice of British architect
Lord [Norman] Foster was a stroke of brilliance.”
Ronnie is affiliated with many other arts institutions, including
The Israel Museum, Jerusalem and, of course, the MoMA, where

she sits on its board of trustees and is chair of the painting and sculpture
committee. “MoMA is the gold standard,” she says with conviction.
Ronnie embraces the future of art, receptive to whatever comes her
way—even the more contemporary art one of her daughters collects.
“Fashions change, and I am learning the names of those artists,” she says.
But she misses the bygone days of “trekking through galleries.” She recalls
nostalgically exploring, sitting down with artists, and discovering new
works. “The coming of the art fairs [like Art Basel Miami] was radical,” she
says. “They’re frantic buying bazaars. New buyers don’t seem to have the
same approach as we did.”
And, with a slight note of disapproval, she adds: “Tastes too have
changed. Too much glitz.” ‡

ArtsLetters
The “ancient” art of handwritten letters is all but extinct. Ele-
gantly scripted epistles have waned in popularity as text messages
now reign supreme. In an era of ephemeral communication, simple
tangible correspondence is a rare thing of beauty.
From April 18 to July 2, the Norton Museum of Art explores the
intimacy and artistry of letter writing in Pen to Paper: Artists’ Hand-
written Letters from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art.
Letters and postcards from the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe, Marcel
Duchamp, and Mary Cassatt invite viewers to become voyeurs into
the lives of these artists through their personal correspondence.

“You put so much of your soul into handwritten letters,” says
Rachel Gustafson, who spearheaded the exhibit at the Norton. “To
see these artists having very casual conversations—and feelings of
regret, sadness, happiness, or elation—is so interesting because it
humanizes them in a way.”
Inspired by this exhibition, we asked five area arts influencers to
put pen to paper and write their own sort of “love letter to Palm
Beach County,” expressing how the community has succeeded in
fostering a vibrant cultural scene that has allowed their organiza-
tions to thrive. —Mary Murray

There is only one of her, and she knows it.
In the thin, cool darkness, she listens for Jeremy’s breathing, mea-

hitch on the inhale, like a sneeze in reverse. He is really, fully asleep,
sprawled. In the first days, he faked it sometimes, she could tell, his

and collects her kit: fuzzy throw and water bottle, paperback and
pen flashlight, cranberry cookies furled in a paper napkin, ear buds,
yoga pillow, the four flexible black poster boards rolled in a hair
elastic. Her phone. The phone is a concession. The room is dimmer
than a lake bottom, but she skirts the obstacles—throw pillows, her
boots (“Hey,” she told Jeremy yesterday. “You were a high jumper
in college, but I’m a low jumper. I jump over my shoes.” She’s fun-

ny. She’s fine. She’s funny and fine and even fancy), her lap
desk, her great-grandmother’s primitive cherry cradle, filled
with dead plants. She has not gotten around to burning it.
“Hello,” she says to the owl that sits white on the creaking
branch just outside their door. It never flies off, just regards
her with bored, reptilian eyes. “Hello and good night.”
There is a style to these things. She lets the car roll back-
ward down the slight short slope to the blacktop, engaging
the motor only when she knows that the stand of wizened
evergreens the realtor grandly called a “privacy privet” will
block the murmur of the fine and fancy Volvo motor. Now
she is on her own.
The edge of a residential area is sometimes best, but she
can’t go back more than once or twice in a two-week period.
People watch cold-case shows: They’re nervy; they’re curi-
ous; they’re insomniacs; they’re the future foilers of felons.
She often searches out the edge of a leaf-bowered neighbor-
hood. Holiday times are good for this. Family and friends,
everyone’s here, cars up on curbs and lawns, as if she’s in-
vited too! Hotel parking lots are golden, bathed in cheap
light, her Volvo angled in next to minivans with roof racks
and side windows decaled with six stick figures—mom, dad,
sis, bro, cat, and baby on board! The rub comes if someone
from the desk notices her car. But hotel desk workers are
desperate. How can they have paid for an associate’s degree
in hospitality for this, sick drunk hockey fans flapping naked
in the pool at three in the morning? They have bigger fish to
fry than her. And hotel rooms? Hotel rooms are simply not
public but instead like little houses. You stay in hotels with
someone you love, on a visit, on a journey, or on business.
They are all you need. They constitute a commitment, to
some future. Temporary, but not tenuous. They won’t do.
If not for her college-days politics, she would always go to
a Walmart parking lot. Walmarts never close; they proudly
welcome weary RV travelers, and some even boast cable
and hookups. The Walmart parking lots can upset her on
weekend nights because of the collision of all the gassy smells
pizza burritos cheesy popcorn belches. The roadside parking
areas terrify her. Killers cleave to these places, seeking wounded.
She goes to them most often.
She goes to one now.
It’s far, maybe a drive of 15 minutes. When she sees the flirty
leafed wink of the caged lights above the toilets, her breath
comes faster. This could be anywhere. There’s a big truck, a big
furniture truck, and in her humble opinion, furniture trucks and
milk trucks are just somehow a cut above. Two minivans hump,
nose to tail, like beetle mates. She chooses a spot next to a huge
holly bush. She’s been here before.
One time, about three months ago, someone showed up.
There came a tap, tap on the window, and her eyes were shocked
open as she whaled around in the glovey-leather front seat.
“Please don’t get out of the vehicle, miss.”
“Okay.”
“Is everything all right here? Do you mind passing me the
vehicle registration and your license?”
“I’m just taking a break. The signs say, plan your next rest.”
“That’s fine, miss. Please stay in the vehicle.”
She had been so alarmed she couldn’t go back to sleep, but
the officer found nothing out of order. After an interminable
wait, during which she reviewed all her possible toll violations
and near misses, the officer returned and said, “This address is
in Kirkwood. It’s two exits from here.”
“Oh, I’m moving,” she explained. “I’m moving on. I got a late
start and I really needed a short nap.”
“Well, lock up,” said the police officer. “Drink lots of water.”
“I do,” she said. “I stay hydrated.”
Now she tucks her poster boards against the inside of the
windshield and the two front windows. They’re bent right, and
she doesn’t really need the tape she keeps in the glove box. For
a while, she’d had a car cover, but it was almost impossible to get
into the car with it on and she found herself fixated on the notion
that some vandal would think hers was a costly car worth hiding,

like a Mercedes, when a 2005 Volvo was its own best camo. She reclines the seat and tucks the throw
around her shoulders, around her neck. Her arms are as stiff as the skin of a frog. There.
“This cradle kept your grandmother safe,” Jeremy said. “What’s good for big Rebecca’s good
for little Rebecca.” She hasn’t burned it. She can always burn it. There has never, she wants to tell
Jeremy, been a single verified case of sudden infant death syndrome when the baby was sleep-
ing in the parents’ bed. Of course, fat, senseless felonious drunks rolled on their infants and
crushed the life from them. She knew they did. They did it on purpose, because she didn’t believe
they could not notice, for how could they not notice? In the hospital, seven-pound Rebecca had
thrashed like a weasel when, spent, she had fallen asleep and chanced to lean on her unaccus-
tomed newborn bundle, just five hours outside her own body. At home, in their big bed, Jeremy
liked to lounge. Jeremy basked. He was a scholar of sleep, a sultan of snore. He didn’t want to
wake little Rebecca. She hates him devoutly.
Next month, she thinks, as her face shoulders neck chest heart relax, she will take the plunge
she’s been meaning to take all along. She’ll pack a tiny bag and rent one of those pods at the air-
port, those brutally clean pinned-sheet napkin-wrapped pods. They were made for her kind, for
sleeping in public places. She sometimes casts yearning looks at the troll houses of bank kiosks—
how warm and public they would be. But dirty. Dangerously dirty. When the weather is warm,
she’ll park up in the lot of the ski lodge. Ah, wilderness. She can imagine waking to the sun basting
the ridge, another night burned.
At Jeremy’s Christmas party, she overheard a woman sleekly say, “They were acre couches.
They were Rhode Island–sized couches. They were deep as the Mariana Trench. And I just stuck
my purse under my butt and kicked off my shoes and snuggled up on top of my ratty old fur coat
and I was out! Out!”
The woman turned, flinching from her eyes, more startled than the owl.
Even in memory, the devouring maw of her attention abashes her. It must have risen up like
a stink. She had studied the woman. Her bob, her sneer, her fishnets and coral pout. Was she
another like her?
No, she thinks. She’s fine now. Here now. The night is colder. Cold might rouse her early, but
she will get some good hours. Down she slides into surrender. There is no other. Of her, she is the
only one. ‡

Mitchard’s
eleventh adult
novel, Two If by
Sea, was pub-
lished in March
2016 by Simon &
Schuster.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
One of the things you
should know about Jacquelyn
Mitchard is that she named
her first-born daughter
Francie Nolan Brent. “Fran-
cie Nolan” derived from
Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows
in Brooklyn—the hopeful
little girl stuck between her
well-meaning but alcoholic
father and her strong but
overmatched mother. It’s
Mitchard’s favorite book.
The underlying theme of
Smith’s great novel is one
that Mitchard has taken
as her own. “My books are
about finding grace in adver-
sity,” she says. “Everyone in
my books is a good person
who gets in a jam, a big jam.
The stories are about restor-
ing some kind of equilibrium
to our life. That’s what we
all do every day. Every day
has its sufficiency, a bunch of
things that you have to face
and either correct or live
with, and one is as difficult as
the other.”
Mitchard’s 11 adult novels
(she also writes children’s
books and young adult
novels) began two decades
ago with The Deep End of
the Ocean. The debut novel
was chosen as the very first
selection of Oprah’s Book
Club in 1996, became an
international best seller, and
was adapted into a hit movie
starring Michelle Pfeiffer. She
is also a stirring speaker and
ambassador for reading, as
she proved when she was
a guest of the Palm Beach
Book Festival last spring.
Amid a stream of books,
the Cape Cod resident has
also found the time to raise
nine children, teach creative
writing at Vermont College of
Fine Arts—and pen this pow-
erful short story exclusively
for art&culture.
“Fiction is a lot of things,”
she says. “One of them is
the attempt to do on the
page what you can’t do with
life: correct it. Betty Smith
once said, ‘It’s not the way it
happened, but it’s the way it
should have happened.’ I go
along with that.” —Scott Eyman

AARON’S TABLE AND WINE BAR
Jupiter resident Chef Aaron Fuller
has created a sleek yet comfortable
space in Abacoa’s Town Center. “We
wanted to build a restaurant that
neighborhood people could walk to
and give them a range of wines to dis-
cover,” he says. Unlike most wine bars,
Aaron’s Table has a full kitchen with
an elaborate New American menu of
starters, entrées, and desserts. When
completed, the cellar will hold 400
selections, offered by the glass and
bottle, and a dedicated sommelier will
guide guests through their choices.

SOUTH MOON PHOTOGRAPHY

THE REGIONAL KITCHEN & PUBLIC HOUSE Few trends are hotter than upscale Southern cuisine,
and no local chef does it better than Lindsay Autry. The native North Carolinian and Top Chef finalist
has brought her blend of elegance and down-home cooking to CityPlace in West Palm Beach. Don’t
miss the pickled shrimp, deviled crab, country-style sausage—and certainly not the chef’s trademark
snapper grilled in a banana leaf with green tomato salsa verde. “We spend a lot of time sourcing
ingredients, getting to know the farmers, artisans, and purveyors and sharing those relationships with
our staff,” says Autry. Sommelier Timothy Eagan’s well-balanced wine list combines the best of the
New and Old Worlds. 651 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach, eatregional.com, 561.557.6460 —M.S.

RAPPY’S Ask most transplanted New Yorkers what they miss most about the Big Apple and you’ll
get the inevitable response: a good deli. Veteran South Florida restaurateur Burt Rapoport has come
to the rescue with Rappy’s, which opened in December in Boca Raton’s Park Place plaza. The deli
is named for Rapoport’s father, Ray (nickname “Rappy”), who, along with his grandfather, operated
a kosher eatery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side for half a century. The menu at Rappy’s offers a
large assortment of smoked fish, sandwiches, and noshes, and the pastrami is classic: first brined,
then slow-smoked over hard wood, and finally steamed to perfection before being sliced onto rye
bread. 5560 N. Military Trail, Boca Raton, rappysdeli.com, 561.314.6840 —M.S.

OASIS
In her own words, New York–based photog-
rapher Sally Gall tries to capture the beauty
and mystery of nature, “its elemental and
sometimes terrifying aspects, its silence, its
persistence.” Part of her Subterranea series,
Oasis (1999) explores the hidden landscape
of caves and what Gall refers to as the “twi-
light zone” between daylight and darkness.
