L’Artisan du Chocolat at The Market in Santa Monica Place Are you having a Kodak moment? Circa 1957?

Westside Sharpening & Cutlery Store 1207 Fourth Street, #150 310.395.3075 | westsidesharpening.com Inside DOWNTOWN cOMMUNITY P ROFILE Hennessey + Ingalls Sustained by Trends, Traditions and Loyalty Hennessey + Ingalls BY DOUGLAS GLENN CLARK Mark Hennessey believes his ascension in the world of trendy visual arts books was preordained. A family rite and saga that he hopes will continue when it comes time for him to retire from the helm of Hennessey + Ingalls Art & Architecture Bookstore. “I grew up in this business. It was preordained that I’d still be involved. It’s been a great business for me. I wouldn’t have done it any differently. I’m really pleased by the way things have turned out,” he says. The venerable book shop is now located at 214 Wilshire Boulevard, having grown in and out of four locations since its 1963 founding by Hennessey’s father, Reginald, now deceased, and his partner, David Ingalls, who retired about 20 years ago. The Hennessey-Ingalls partnership flourished for decades, included a publishing imprint and became what is thought to be the largest retail enterprise of its kind in the country. Now stores in Santa Monica and Hollywood have a combined floor space of 10,600 square feet and about 85,000 titles. Hennessey + Ingalls also boasts a thriving online presence designed by Hennessey’s son, Brett, who has also managed the Hollywood location since its 2008 opening. Son-in-law Carlos Chavez also contributes to the family business. “We have unusual depth and breadth for a store dealing with the visual arts. I’ve never seen a store like ours — not even when traveling in Europe.” Enter the contemporary space and, to the right, you’ll be greeted by a colorful selection of magazines. Move deeper into the store cum library environment, and you’ll notice that the right side is devoted to art-related tomes, covering photography, drawing, painting, fashion and even candle making, among other topics. The left is dominated by architecture and related subjects, such as interior design, landscaping and garden design. Interspersed are tables with remainders marked down 20 to 80 percent. 12 Visitors immersed in the gorgeous publications may not realize that the store has 18-foot ceilings and a drop-down lighting grid that illuminates the industrial look Hennessey chose when relocating the shop from its previous location on Third Street Promenade. Toward the back of the store, shoppers will find rare and out-of-print books mingling with foreign titles — the cornerstones of the original shop. Hennessey attributes the longevity of the familyowned and managed business to its devoted fans, including celebrities, such as actor Brad Pitt and Michael Jackson. “Michael Jackson was a huge customer. He once spent $120,000 on books to set up a library for underprivileged kids.” Hennessey + Ingalls displays a colorful assortment of postcards, local guidebooks and maps, and a large array of memorable holiday gifts is a big incentive for customers to visit the shop. This season Hennessey expects new picture books on California-style bungalows in Venice and Santa Monica to be popular. Hennessey, 60, counts his blessings but takes nothing for granted in a world of e-readers. “We will continue to survive. But I take everything personally. I’m very proud of the fact that my father and Mr. Ingalls left me a business that for years just grew and grew. Now that I have family members working here, when I retire I want to leave a business for them that is thriving.” Hennessey + Ingalls Art & Architecture 214 Wilshire Boulevard (just west of Third Street Promenade) 310.458.9074 | hennesseyingalls.com Inside DOWNTOWN cOMMUNITY PROFILE Angelic Holiday Gifts at Historia Antiques BY DOUGLAS GLENN CLARK Every holiday season, art objects that express the heart’s devotion lift the spirits of James Caswell. So much so that the founder of James Caswell-Historia Antiques at 1322 Second Street is often reluctant to part ways with his glorious inventory. “I love to share all this with people,” says Caswell. “We don’t bring anything in the store we’re not passionate about. You hope the people who buy them will love and cherish them too.” Angel wings crafted by South American silversmiths are a popular gift and reflect the shop’s focus: intertwining everyday life with religious and cultural beliefs. But the gallery is rich with other examples of authentic Spanish Colonial art and Mexican devotional folk art, Caswell’s specialty. Although the holidays fit well with the Historia collection, the pursuit of excellent art objects is an endless journey. Adventure, competition and revelation have been constant companions for Caswell and his spouse, Patricia Carolina. The family enterprise also includes their 16-year-old son Jamie Cruz and daughter Angela, who lives in Denver. “Historia means history and it means anecdote. Our work is not just looking at objects on a coffee table, it’s about story and the levels of meaning associated with the art we find,” says Caswell. Retablos, for example, are paintings of spiritual figures that may have been displayed in common households in the 19th or 20th centuries. The art was interactive, not merely decorative. Family members would touch and speak to the objects that are now antique collectables. An ex-voto is an illustration that portrays the fulfillment of a prayer. Caswell uses the example of a child chasing a ball into 14 traffic. A parent sees the danger and asks for God’s help. If the child remains unharmed, the positive outcome is re-created in an ex-voto that includes an inscription. “The ex-votos are like a comic book — a picture with dialogue bubble.” Antiquarians are occasionally criticized for taking art objects out of their original cultural context to make a sale. Caswell sees more paradox in art collection than plundering. Years ago while traveling on a provincial road in Mexico, Caswell spotted a retablos in the hands of a boy. Unfortunately, the lad was using the sacred art as a shovel. The 19th century painting that had been created by a famous artist was mostly destroyed. “What we do is more than a business. Our work is a historical, sociological and archeological process. I have to be able to spot what is authentic and what is a heavily restored piece. A lot of forensics and, sometimes, heartbreak are involved.” Caswell has faith that he will continue to find beautiful artifacts, and that art lovers will find Historia. “People discover us when they want to or need to,” says Caswell. “That’s our hope.” James Caswell-Historia Antiques 1322 Second Street, Suite 2 310.394.3384 | historia-antiques.com ART COLLECTOR James Caswell of Historia Antiques Inside CALENDAR Month by Month Visit downtownsm.com for events information.

Arizona Avenue (between Second and Fourth streets) smgov.net/farmersmarket SANTA MONICA CONSERVANCY A regular at the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market, Chef Ray Garcia of FIG Restaurant is committed to sustainable culinary practices and was recognized last year for such with the Rising Star Sustainability Chef Award by StarChefs.com. “Ray is a passionate, highly skilled chef who also feels a responsibility to the environment … and (he) employs many different ways to further the cause of sustainability and pass this message on to his diners,” explained the editors of StarChefs.com. Chef Garcia’s commitment to sustainable food extends beyond his kitchen at FIG. Garcia is committed to the national Let’s Move campaign. First Lady Michelle Obama created Let’s Move as a way to address childhood obesity. One part of Let’s Move is the Chefs Move to Schools program, pairing chefs with schools in their communities to educate kids about food and nutrition. The East L.A. native has focused his efforts at Olympic High School in Santa Monica with the idea of exposing students there to new foods and flavors they might not enjoy on a regular basis. “Many foods today are processed so we forget to appreciate the flavor and ingredients in their simplest form,” said Garcia. “I hope to help them understand that healthy, flavorful food is accessible at home and school.” An active member of the Santa Monica community, FIG is located at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows. FIG is open daily and there’s complimentary valet parking for diners, including bicyclists. Chef Ray’s favorite dishes and menu items also are available through FIG Catering. Think FIG Catering for your special events and parties, whether it’s a large gala event, a wedding or an intimate catered dinner party at home. 20 Gift Your Schools Every SAT | 9 AM Zumba on the Deck Zumba classes on the deck, rain or shine.
