David Charm
Books In Sync Recognizes Author Carl DavidQuote From Author Carl David: "My firstborn foray into writing was in college in the school newspaper when I had a grudge in regards to the disgusting feed quality. The article was beauteous funny but scathing so they wouldn't let me sign it. My next work was an article in the American Art Review in May 1978, regarding Martha Walter, an American impressionist artist, whose estate we represented. In 1981 I authored, "Collecting & Care of Fine Art" published by Crown in New York. It revealed the truths when it comes to the art market and disunited them from the hype which was so widespread. It was a factual expose for which I received significant flack from a heap of colleagues, but someone had to tell the truth and protect the collectors. My latest book, "Bader Field" has just been freed by Nightengale Press. It is a heart tugging essay regarding my father, Samuel David, the legendary art merchant whose life was taken way too early, and how my brother and I had to step into the front lines of the third generation family business to live out his dream, all the while attempting to survive with regard to emotions after the desolating loss of our brother only eight years earlier. The book is a traveling of love, forgiveness and acceptance which begins at Bader Field (in Atlantic City), the oldest airfield in the country, the last place I saw my father. It is my hope that "Bader Field" will support those who have had less than idealisti fathers growing up to break the chain of negative influence and become much better fathers themselves when it is their turn to assume the role. An even more outstanding aspiration for me is that this book reach deep into the mind of any person who is contemplating taking their life and show them that they are not alone, that there is always another answer, another way, no matter what. Those so desperate need to know that they don't just ruin themselves, but everyone around them as well; their family, friends and acquaintances. I pray that my perilous journeying through those darkest days will fetch light and hope to any individual on that final path, and draw them back. Birth Place: Philadelphia, PA USA Accomplishments: Reader Views Award 2008/2009 for ‘Bader Field'" ************************* The Larger Reason For Writing "Bader Field": "Bader Field" my latest book was a seedling back in the middle 1960's, even though I had no idea of it is inception yet. Life in our family had been idyllic until we suffered an unspeakable family disaster which changed all of our lives for a limitless time in one vile gesture. It was only decades later that I was concentered sufficient to put "Bader Field together, even though randomly at original as it started mainly as homage to my father so my children would recognise the greatness of the man who had passed away far too soon. As the story unfolded, it expanded dramatically and encompassed a far broader perspective to include the horrific loss of my brother. The darkest days of my life necessitated to be revealed and relived in order to accurately show our family dynamic and how we survived. It became my hope that the story would give hope, light and love to any person at that edge of desperation and fetch them back from the brink of extinction to the a heap of avenues of help that are available and to show those pained souls that such a final act doesn't just take their life, but in huge measure, those of their loved ones, friends and acquaintances as well. So my dream was to turn an era of horror into a positive by paying it forward with the aim of saving lives, as a good deal of as possible. And for that reason alone, this is a book that must be read and read widely for it crosses all borders and is blind to indifference and bias. ************************* The Far Reaching Effects Of This Book: "Bader Field" my latest book has been causing an aroused reaction throughout all lines. Those who have read it all have the same "Wow" response. Stunned, brought to tears and given a glimpse into a whole new realm to which they are drawn inexplicably as the pages turn. Episodes of art dealing, flying twin engined airplanes and a family's survival are a consistent theme all around the story. The David family comes to life from the original page and grows more intimate as their depiction is vividly animated. You will recognise them rather well, as if in life you had and they will tug at your heart with compassion, love and warmth with a sense of realism you will actually feel. Family members, friend and strangers similar have been riveted to "Bader Field." Once started they cannot put it down, except to clear their heads and take a break from it's overpowering strength and hypnotic pull. "I may see the movie" the refrains echo. "I feel like I knew your family," they acknowledge. "How did you do it?" they puzzle and shake their heads. Yes, a dream has been born with the release of this book and it is path will soar. "Bader Field" is one of those phenomena that will take on a life of it is own like the kite caught in an updraft pulling skyward with no visible limitation. Once launched, there was no turning back and I am so proud that the world is now competent to read it and covet the story within it is embrace. ************************* Featuring: Bader Field by Carl David Carl David is the third generation of a four-generation family art business in Philadelphia which was founded by his Grandfather, David, David, circa 1910. The business was later expanded by Samuel David, his son, to comprise paintings, watercolors and sculptures of both European and American origin. Many exhibitions were mounted over the years, including a major assemblage of Baroque paintings accompanied by a concert by the Philadelphia Baroque Quartet. Samuel David was a strength with which to be reckoned in and out of the art world. His bequest lives on long after his untimely passing. His son, Carl David is the author of Collecting & Care of Fine Art published by Crown in 1981. At a time when art was being wantonly touted as an investment vehicle, Carl felt the obligation to inform the public of how and why the art market actually works, divulging facts and dispelling myths of illusory nature. Collectors, both seasoned and novice were thrilled to get a realistic appraisal of the art markets. His earlier article with regards to Martha Walter, an American Impressionist painter (1875-1976), was published in the American Art Review in May 1978 and dramatically expanded the consciousness of the well credentialed artisan and her work, which Samuel David encountered and promoted in the late 1960's. Mr. David's latest book, Bader Field, embodies the aroused story of a son's loving kinship with his father—the legendary art merchant whose life is of a sudden taken by a massive coronary at the young age of fifty-eight years. His death plunges the twenty-four-year-old man onto the front lines of the family art business, which he had entered a mere three years prior. Battling with his own grief while attempting to help his adoring but fragile mother survive, David forges forward with all of the elementary tools his father imparted to him. His journeying proves a difficult one, not having yet recovered from the horrific loss of his brother who was found dead on the fourth floor of the Rittenhouse Square townhouse, which was home to the honored David David Gallery. His self-imposed obligation was to with great success take the family art business to the next generation and to give his own children, years later, each bit of love, kindness, and wisdom bestowed upon him by the distinctive man whom they will never recognise other than the mark he left on every one who knew him. Bader Field adds significant clear or deep perception into the mysterious workings and dealings of the art world. David speaks from experience of having been immersed in it all of his life and having lived it from the inside out. There will be a tremendous crossover interest in this book as it combines the constituents of an American family, it is goodness and it is disaster interfaced with the multifaceted distinct features of the mysterious art business and flying little airplanes. Bader Field in Atlantic City was the oldest airfield in the country. With little sophistication, it is two asphalt runways juggled single and twin engine aircraft exuding a reputation and charm that formulated memories to last a lifetime. That is where this saga begins and where it ends as life comes full circle.

antique charm one side saint mary it says mp,opm,oy,opr,icxc what does this mean? this charm is two sided one side jesus other mary surrounded by a gold davids star. this charm is very old. It pains me to only give a partial answer but it was not without effort!! The letters are Greek acronyms so I will leave the letters of the acronym in caps when spelling out the greek word it stands for: mp- MaPia- Mary in Greek opm oy- Mother of God- This one is more difficult because the letters alter in translation so you cannot directly see where the letters came from. The original two may be combined and more often are as- mp oy opr- ? This is the one that stumped me and if you find out what it means I would love to know! icxc- IhcoyC XpictO- Jesus Christ Mary, Mother of God, ??? Jesus Christ It seems natural to place a title of Jesus in place of the question marks, such as "Our Lord and Savior", but this is plainly a guess. I hope my half answer gets you on the right track and I'll keep looking!! |
