I was thinking about the role coffee shops played in the development of art and artists: Coffeehouses were a staple of folk musicians in the US in the 1960s; Café Guerbois , in Paris, was a meeting place of such artists as Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro and other Impressionists: The Cedar Tavern, in New York City was a place where the 10th Street artists of the 1950s including Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell and other Abstract Expressionists would congregate. I’m sure there are still places like these today on the outskirts of intellectual and artistic hubs.
The venue that presents itself to me consists mainly of people studying and being tutored.

The end of leisure and daydreaming is certainly reflected in our consumption of coffee.(K)
Leisure is relegated to the wait for coffee. Thanks, K!
