The Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum in Meadville will be hosting an exhibit of the Gerson Leiber collection at Titusville High School on Friday and Saturday at the museum.
Entitled, “For the Love of Prints,” the exhibit will include 19th and 20th century prints of works by Rembrandt, Durer, Canaletto and Daumier.
In addition, the exhibit will feature a selection of 18 Japanese woodblock prints from the 19th century, covering a wide range of style and technique from black and white printing with hand color to full color printing in the later part of the century. This collection of Japanese works is of extensive scope and variety, selected from the collection by Diane Shafer Domnick, Allegheny College art history professor and curator of the exhibit.
The Gerson Leiber collection of art at THS is an ever-growing collection of both original and reproduction artwork covering a wide array of artists over multiple centuries.
Leiber, who grew up in a Titusville Jewish family of modest means during the 1920s and 30s, graduated from THS in 1930, entering the Army soon after.
He met his wife, a handbag apprentice, in Europe during World War II, and moved back to the United States after the war.
The couple settled in New York City where Gerson studied art and Judith designed handbags, which led her to great success.
There is a fee for admission, with proceeds benefiting the museum. For more information, call (814) 333-9882, or e-mail museum@baldwinreynolds.org.
The Gerson Leiber collection will be on display Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum.

The next issue of the zine SYNDICATE PRODUCT is all about cleaning... house cleaning, washing the car, even picking up the yard debris. (However, it's NOT about laundry, as that's already been done. It's also not about packratting, as that's also been done.)
A few possible ideas:
+ apartment or house move in/out cleaning stories
+ making your own eco-friendly cleaning products
+ I hate to BLANK (dust, vacuum, clean the gutters)
+ biggest cleaning disaster
+ living with a hoarder or a neatnik
+ the most disgusting abandoned item found in the back of the fridge or shoved in a cabinet
+ what I learned about cleaning from my family/friends/ex
+ my biggest cleaning challenge is BLANK
Specifications:
Writers: I'm not going to get too hung up on length for this issue, but I would say between 400-800 words is a good size. If you need to go longer, please do. If the writing is good enough, people will want to read it to the end. I'll let you know if a piece is simply too huge.
Comic artists: The zine will be Digest Sized. Final art size should reduce to 4.5 x 7.5 inches. You can have two pages, but this can be negotiated if needed. B&W only, the zine will be photocopied. Send art as 300dpi TIF files. Also, once entries are in, I may be looking for small illustrations to accompany some of the stories.
Contributors will receive a copy of the final project.
Due date and where to submit: OCTOBER 11, 2009*. Submit your entries to syndprod@gmail.com, either by simply pasting the text into an e-mail, or as an OpenOffice, MS Word, or plain text document. If you want to mail them, send them to: A.j. Michel, PO Box 877, Lansdowne, PA 19050.
