Art & the Opposites

The print by Chaim Koppelman, "Napoleon Entering New York," will be included in the 75th Anniversary exhibition celebrating the start of Art clases atthe Y. Chaim Koppelman was one of the early teachers there, conducting children's art classes under the then director William Kolodny. This was one of the artist's first teaching jobs where his study of Aesthetic Realism with its founder, poet, educator Eli Siegel, so successfully encouraged the art in children. The exhibition includes a very fine selection of work by past members of that illustrious faculty. Everyone is invited to the Opening in the Weill Art Gallery at the Y on May 12th. The show will be on for almost two weeks.
