JULY 21       “Two Friends: A dialog”
Speakers       Nora Speyer, painter / Joe Stefanelli, painter
        The Artists’ Club and the Cedar Bar provided a rich haven of unforgettable experiences for the many artists who gathered there during the 40s and 50s including both Stefanelli and Speyer. Stefanelli states, “ I learned more about making art at the Cedar Bar than in all my years in art school.” Speyer reports, “We would start out at the Artists’ Club on a Friday night and when that closed Sideo and I would then head over to the Cedar Bar. Until early hours of the morning everyone danced and fought like cats and dogs, we had a ball”.
         
JULY 30       “Act of Creation”
Speaker       Stephen Schlesinger, author and director of the New School University’s World Policy Institute,
        Schlesinger will talk about his most recent book, “Act of Creation : The Founding of the United Nations. A Story of Superpowers, Secret Agents, Wartime Allies and Enemies, and Their Quest for a Peaceful World”, Westview Press, 2003. Steven Schlesinger tells a pivotal and little-known story of how Secretary of State Edward Stettinius and the new American President, Harry Truman, picked up the pieces of the shattered campaign initiated by Franklin Roosevelt to create a "United Nations." Using secret agents, financial resources, and their unrivaled position of power, they overcame the intrigues of Stalin, the reservations of wartime allies like Winston Churchill, the discontent of smaller states, and a skeptical press corps to found the United Nations. The author reveals how the UN nearly collapsed several times during the conference over questions of which states should have power, who should be admitted, and how authority should be divided among its branches. By shedding new light on leading participants like John Foster Dulles, John F. Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson, Nelson Rockefeller, and E. B White, Act of Creation provides a fascinating tale of twentieth-century history not to be missed.
         
AUGUST 10       “The New York Art World in the Mid 1940s As Seen By Two Very Yound Painters: Paul Resika and David Loeffler Smith”
Speakers       Paul Resika, painter/ David Loeffler Smith, painter
        A high School friendship leads to afternoons in the galleries and museums at this extraordinary time for American art. Paul Resika was studying with Hans Hofmann and David Smith, son of the painter, Jacob Getlar Smith, grew up among New York artists. Recent inquiries concerning Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery, “Art of This Century” suggests their memories would be of interest to others.
         
AUGUST 24       “James Gahagan”
Speakers       Bob Henry, painter / Kathy Shorr, writer
        Following in Hofmann’s footsteps, Gahagan, 1927 –1999, was an accomplished painter, a beloved teacher and mentor to others. Inspired by nature, his sensitivity to color relationships and spatial dynamics made him one of the most skillful American colorists. He attended the Hans Hofmann School of Art and became involved with the then-burgeoning abstract movement. His visual vocabulary developed during his years as Associate Director of the Hofmann School and as Hofmann's assistant during the creation of two major mosaic murals in New York City. His work has been exhibited extensively in New York, Provincetown, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Paris and is represented in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia; and the University Art Museum in Berkeley.
