THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Last summer Constantin Alajalov saw a little group of determined men fishing at Montauk Point, Long Island, and noted that no one looks as grim as a surf fisherman having a good time. Some months later he decided to paint such a fisherman whose sport is interrupted. He knew how the girl would look, and Abercrombie & Fitch provided the costume and equipment along with a man to wear and use them. But Alajalov couldn’t remember how Montauk Point lighthouse looked. His first impulse was to drive over there and find out. But it was midwinter, and the artist’s second impulse was to stay home. The second impulse won in a very short fight. This is Montauk Point light, consequently, as drawn from memory.
