Cafe Society

Coffee brews under a drip of scalding water, beans grind in the gears of a metal mechanism set atop the bar, and the chatter of patrons syncs with the sound of steaming milk in each Starbucks cafe chain.

Being attentive to people and objects in the city, Baudelaire performs the urban spectatorship as his personal way of interacting with the world around him. In the poems Landscape, To a Redheaded Beggar Girl, and The Little Old Woman, Baudelaire observes, reacts to, and finally “paints” the scenes of modern life. Fifty years later, as an American Ashcan school artist, John Sloan (1871-1951) adopts Baudelaire’s way of urban watching and further extends the idea to urban voyeurism. As a real painter, he portrays scenes of modern life in Sixth Avenue and
