Associated American Artists: Art by Subscription

Friday, October 23 12:00 pm - Saturday, December 12 4:00 pm - Art Gallery (AG)
http://www.csun.edu/artgalleries/

' Associated American Artists: Art by Subscription' features over 70 etchings, wood engravings, aquatints and mezzotints by 40 artists including Thomas Hart Benton, John Stuart Curry, Doris Lee, Reginald Marsh and Grant Wood.

In 1933, America was gripped by an economic depression; it was one of the most trying times in American history. At that time, art dealer and marketer Reeves Lewenthal organized Associated American Artists (AAA), conceived to distribute affordable, original art to every American. During its 20 years, AAA had grown to international importance. The evidence of the cultural impact was everywhere; in the nation's homes, greeting cards and apparel.

The exhibition is organized by the Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, Ohio, and tour management is provided by Smith and Kramer Fine Art Services.

Gallery hours are Mon-Sat 12 to 4 p.m. and on Thurs. from 12 to 8 p.m.

Dept. of History's Alumni Book Discussion

http://blogs.csun.edu/news/2009/10/19/jazz-age/#more-1316

Cal State Northridge history professor Tom Devine will lead a discussion of Kevin Boyle’s award winning book, “Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights and Murder in the Jazz Age.”

“Arc of Justice” is the story of Ossain Sweet, an African-American doctor who came to national attention in 1925 when he was tried for murder after attempting to defend his newly purchased home in a predominantly white neighborhood of Detroit. An unruly mob was trying to force Sweets and his family out. Boyle, a history professor at Ohio State University, won the National Book Award for non-fiction and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for his work, which explores Sweet’s trail against the backdrop of the Jazz Age and the nascent civil rights movement.

After 25 years of friendship and music making, Ani Kavafian, Andre-Michel Schub and David Shifrin -- each a true virtuoso and a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center -- came together as a trio with undeniable chemistry.

Combined, they have performed with nearly every major orchestra around the world and in recital at the major concert halls. Photo by Bernard Mindich.
