Using non-toxic plate lithography and a small press, students will create two color lithographs using techniques practiced in historic stone lithography. A tour of the exhibition "The Color Explosion: Nineteenth-Century American Lithography from the Jay T. Last Collection” is included. Members: $145. Non-Members: $165. Registration: 626-405-2128.

Eunkang Koh's Talk

Well it seems to me that you might not want to miss Eunkang Koh's talk this PM @ 5:00 in CSULB's FA-1 (Printmaking Lab), but in case you can't make it - she's giving a repeat performance tomorrow at Whittier College. That talk will be at 5:15 PM, in the Greenleaf Gallery. For more info on her exhibition at Whittier, go to their web-site: web.whittier.edu/greenleafgallery/

We are so proud of Eunkang, as she's now the Head of the Printmaking Program @ the University of Nevada, Reno! She was born & grew up in Seoul, where she got her 1st degree in printmaking at the prestigious Hong-ik University, & we were lucky enough to have had her as a grad student @ CSULB. The etching I posted here is titled: "Slaughter," with watercolor, 12 x 12".

LA County Museum Conversations

The tickets for both of these talks are free, but you have to either phone or email to reserve them @ the box office. The phone # is: 323/857-6010 & the email address is: lacma.org

FYI #1 - I'd call quickly, as they've been available since 9/1 & may be going fast.

FYI #2 - Both of these artists make prints, although in Kruger's case the term can be applied very loosely.

Filiz keeps her stone well hydrated!

The voice on this little video "speaking in tongues" is mine - I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to edit the sound out...sorry!

FYI: Filiz is printing this image for a 2010 calendar that the Black Dolphin printmakers (under Camilla's guidance) are working to put together.

Among Us

2009 CSULB MFA Open Studios

What an impressively handsome gathering (if I do say so myself)! Hope that some of you got a chance to visit with Camilla T, Brian B, & Christian W, in their respective studios on Sunday & took a long hard look at their wonderful work. No? Well you're in luck - Camilla's having a show that opens this Sunday, 9/13 in the Dutzi Gallery from 5 - 7 PM @ CSULB. Brian B. & I are in an exhibition way up north in Aptos with the rather fusty title: "Printed." Now I don't really expect any of you to make that long trek, but I hope we can show Camilla some home town solidarity & appreciation. RS

Etching Copper Sales

Copper was sold to students by Melissa(ME!!!) So bad news guys this copper is too soft to use for drypoint! I know I'm sad too! It looks the similiar but is much softer, so you must return to me and purchase industrial copper for your projects! SORRY :(

"The World's Most Famous Painting" lives in Paris (where else?)

8.5 million souls visit this room at the Louvre every year, & last June, I felt like the majority of them had picked the same day I had to (once again!) try to see this work of Leonardo's. After pushing my way to the front of the teeming throng, I managed to snap this pix of the almost disinterested crowd who had made the pilgrimage to see the holiest of holies, the iconic "Mona Lisa." I for one, quite like what Oscar Wilde said about the painting: "The picture becomes more wonderful to us than it really is, & reveals to us a secret of which, in truth, it knows nothing."

Just last month Mona suffered yet another indignity (the 1st being her kidnapping, also in August - but way back in 1911) when a Russian woman, reputedly upset at not being awarded French citizenship, hurled her ceramic coffee mug at her. The terra-cotta vessel bounced off the thick bullet proof Plexiglas & predictably broke on the floor. In my mind's eye, the bored museum guards gave a Gallic shrug, made a faint moue, & sauntered off for le dust-pan & le whisk-broom, to just deal with it.
