[Daviscenter-list] Dassia Posner - Art Exhibition and Lecture

Dear Friends and Colleagues, As many of you know, I have been researching the artist Boris Chaliapin (son of the singer) this year. The first exhibit (for which I have been historical consultant) of his unpublished covers for TIME Magazine opens this week. For those of you nearby, I thought you might like to come to the opening or to my lecture on April 5. For those of you too far away, I thought you would enjoy hearing about this exciting exhibit of Boris's works. All best, Dassia Dassia N. Posner, Ph. D.
