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I have been historical consultant) of his unpublished covers for TIME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
