Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery Acquisition of Jack Mitchell Photographs

TWO NEW CALENDARS FOR 2016

Primal forces confront the child. Although wary, she turns to face the sea. What happens next is left to our imagination. It is an image that invites us to reflect on our complex relationships with the natural world.  
~ Quote from the 2016 Wynn Bullock Black-and-White Calendar

Does the idea of having your very own gallery of Wynn Bullock images appeal to you? You need look no further than our 2016 Wynn Bullock calendars which are now available for purchase through our website. One calendar features 12 evocative black-and-white images to enjoy throughout the year and the other highlights 12 images from Wynn’s beautiful, innovative abstract color work.

Measuring 14″ x 12″ in a horizontal format, every page of each calendar is printed on premium cover stock. The calendars are hand-wrapped in perfectly-sized crystal clear poly bags. Once opened, full quarter-inch hanging holes and white Wire-O bindings allow for easy display and optimal viewing.

New thumbnail images and quotes have been chosen to enhance the monthly date pages as well as the two-page biographical essay that introduces each calendar.

To place your orders, click here. The Calendar Page in our Online Store includes thumbnails of all the images for both calendars as well as pictures of the bio pages and sample date pages. Order one or both of our two collectible calendars for yourself and order additional ones to share Wynn’s imagery with extended family and friends.

It Happened in Havana: A Yiddish Love Story 

A film by Judy Schiller

He didn’t speak Spanish. She didn’t speak English. After 61 years of marriage he was still on his honeymoon.

In Forest Hills, Queens, a couple sits on their living room couch as the husband and wife each recount how they met in Cuba during the start of WWII.

In her cinematic debut, filmmaker Judy Schiller takes the viewer on two journeys: her mother’s, from Poland to Cuba, where she and her family were the only Jews in their town; and her father’s beginning on New York’s Lower East Side, where the street was the playground.

Equal parts romantic tale and history lesson, the film features poignant period footage and priceless home movies. The accompanying soundtrack intertwines Cuban and American music and enhances the couple’s affectionate dialogue.

How did they stay married for the 61 years? See their daughter’s tribute–and find out.
