A new exhibit will open in the Art Room on Tuesday, September 13 entitled Polish Poster Art 1960-1990: Combat on Paper.
While Poland was part of the USSR, Polish graphic artists created works characterized by audacity, irony, wit, and innovative lettering.
Although political/social protest is the dominant theme, posters also focus on contemporary culture, such as opera and theater. The works on view are from a 1996 exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art, with now-Kendal-resident Mary Lou Alpert on the curatorial team. After moving to KoH with her husband Ira, Mary Lou joined the Art Committee and curated this show, which will be open to visitors until October 18, whenever no classes or meetings are held.
Opening Reception in the Art Room on C Level (adjacent to Robert Fulton Bridge) on Tuesday, September 13, 4:00 pm-5:30 pm.
