In 1942, the U.S. sent 109,000 residents of Japanese ancestry to detention centers. Strangely, this human rights tragedy was richly documented by acclaimed, government-hired photographers. Their images--many of them never before seen--were combined with firsthand survivor recollections by photo historians Richard Cahan and Michael Williams in their book Un-American: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II: Images by Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and Other Government Photographers (CityFiles Press, 2016). Mr. Cahan will share images and passages from Un-American and sign copies, which will be available for sale at the event.
The Art Institute of Chicago will mount
a major new exhibition on Paul Gauguin June 25-September 10. It is the first show

associate at the Art Institute of Chicago who has worked on the exhibition
since its inception five years ago, discusses the important themes and artworks
of the show and how they were brought to life in the galleries.

The idea of a woman reading Flaubert’s masterpiece Madame Bovary in nineteenth century
France was scandalous. Ladies were not supposed to enjoy the latest novel—it
might give them radical thoughts! Tish Robinson presents the intriguing, often
humorous history of “la liseuse” (the female reader), illustrated with paintings
by the Impressionists and their colleagues.
