[Libri] from Sura Levine: Symposium of interest to the book community

[Ensor at aol.com]

Dear Colleagues,

I wonder if I might draw your attention to an event being organized by the 
Chapin Library, Williams College and the Clark Art Institute, on Saturday 18 
September 2004. 

In conjunction with the exhibition: The Book as a Work of Art: Count Harry 
Kessler and the Cranach Press, now showing at WCMA and at the Chapin Library of 
Rare Books,  we are organizing a colloquium, called  "Art, The Book and the 
World" . As part of this event we are holding public events on Saturday 
afternoon, to which we would like to invite all interested students, staff and members 
of the public. 

The Program for that afternoon's events is the following:

1:30pm to 2:15pm, WCMA: Gallery talk by John Dieter Brinks (the author of the 
exhibition catalogue) on prints by Aristide Maillol and John Gordon Craig in 
the exhibition. 

2.30pm to 5pm, Griffin Hall 3: Public Forum on Count Harry Kessler and Weimar 
Germany.
This will include a talk on Kessler and America by Laird Easton (Author of 
The Red Count: The Life and Times of Harry Kessler  (2002)) and a discussion on 
the many aspects of Kessler's involvement with art and culture of his times by 
all the participants in the colloquium, who are: 
John Dieter Brinks, Laird Easton, Thomas Föhl, Françoise Forster-Hahn, 
Alexandra Garbarini, Mark Haxthausen, Reinhold Heller and Gunnar Kaldewey
5:00pm-6:30pm Wine reception at the Chapin Library of Rare Books, Stetson 
Hall and chance to view the major portion of the exhibit.
Admission is free to all events.
I attach a PDF file of the event poster, and would be very grateful if you 
were able to print it up and post it on appropriate noticeboards, etc. 
(apologies if it appears upside down on your screen viewer!)  We would also be grateful 
if faculty members could  bring it to the attention of students in relevant 
classes. 
Many thanks
Mark Ledbury
