EDNA THROWS A PARTY

One of the most delicious exhibits anywhere in the U.S.A. is bound be be EDNA BOIES HOPKINS which will glimmer at the Columbus Museum of Art to March 2nd 2008! Edna died in 1937. She was, and is, a woodcut artist supreme. She's one of the supremes! The Hopkins often vacationed in France before and after the First World War. Like her some-what-contemporary Zelda Fitzgerald, herself no stranger to Paris night life--Edna loved parties, and some of her block prints are party invitations. I first met Edna at Keny Gallery, 300 East Beck St. You can read about her in a previous ArtScene, Women & Art: EDNA, March 21,2007.
