Art lecture Thing 2: Seuss curator returns
Bill Dreyer, curator of the "The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss" on exhibit at the Clinton Presidential Center, is back for another talk on the show tonight. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the program begins at 6 p.m. in Sturgis Hall in the Clinton School for Public Service.
A quote from Dreyer, the expert on Theodore Geisel, from the Art of Dr. Seuss website:
“Though Seuss’s most lasting legacy remains his inimitable impact on children’s literacy, we are just now cracking open the door on his impact on the modern art world. The goal from the beginning of this project starting in 1997 has been to explore and share Ted Geisel’s little-known artistic legacy with the world. The response from connoisseurs and laypersons alike is that Dr. Seuss may well go down in history as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.”

Art lecture A softer Stone
Native Arkansan Ed Stone, who in his architectural work found inspiration in the grillwork of the Middle East, turned to men who knew about wagon wheels and plow handles to produce his furniture, tables and chairs and settees as spare as the living eked out in the Ozarks and as graceful as the mountains. Split oak webbing, blond wood, S curves and rectangles.
Stone, we learned from a visit last weekend to the exhibit “Ozark Modern” at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where his furniture is on display, was putting an Arkansas spin on a New York design — the Eames chair. Today, our furniture is overstuffed, like our lives.
Candy fans interested in learning more about Stone’s work can head over to the Stella Boyle Smith auditorium in the Fine Arts Center tonight at 7 p.m. to hear Stone’s son, Hicks, give a talk, “Edward Durell Stone: The Urbane Rustic.” There will be a reception in the gallery afterward.

Rocha's talk was scheduled to coincide with the Mexico 2010 exhibit at the Arts Center, “A Century of Revolution: Mexican Art since 1910.” The free talk starts at 6 p.m.; there's a reception earlier at 5:30 p.m.
