The Figure Drawn: Work on Paper by
Sigmund Abeles and Philip Grausman runs through Thursday, Oct. 21, in the Burns Atrium Gallery in
the Arts Building.

While both artists have a generally
representational perspective, they differ greatly in their description of the
human form.

Abeles, known as a painter and
printmaker, presents his images with
psychologically penetrating directness, employing bold and incisive lines and
marks that crackle with emotion.

Grausman, a master of classically refined sculptures of people and
animals, establishes linear amalgams of sheer elegance in which the viewer
meets subjects through somewhat idealized geometry.

Despite their differences, each artist
creates forms with passion, conviction, and authority from years of seeing,
reflecting, and making art.

The exhibition is made possible
through the Walter C. Baker Fine Arts Endowment.

The exhibit is free and open to the
public. For more information, call 518-388-6131. Gallery
hours daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The second concert of this year's
Chamber Music series will feature pianist Arnaldo Cohen on Saturday, October 23 at 8 p.m.
in Union College's Memorial Chapel.

This will be Cohen's fifth appearance
in this series. He will perform Schoenberg's
Three Pieces, Op. 11; Beethoven's
32 Variations in c, WoO 80 and Sonata No. 8 in c, Op. 13
(“Pathetique”); and Chopin's
Twenty-four Preludes, Op. 28.

In the years since Arnaldo Cohen
came to the attention of the critics and public, the Brazilian-born pianist has
enjoyed an increasingly successful career taking him to the major concert halls
of Europe and South America.

Mr. Cohen started his musical
studies at the age of five, graduating from the Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro with an honors degree in both piano and violin, while also studying for
an engineering degree. He became a professional violinist in the Rio
de Janeiro Opera House Orchestra, but continued his
piano studies with Jacques Klein, a disciple of William
Kapell. Strongly encouraged by Klein to pursue a piano career, he continued his
training in Vienna with Bruno
Seidlhofer and Dieter Weber.

He made his New
York debut during the 1996/1997 season and returned
the next season to perform in recital at the Tisch
Center for the Performing Arts,
receiving huge critical acclaim.

In 2004-2005, Mr. Cohen performs
with several orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, Forth Worth
Symphony, Florida Orchestra, and Edmonton Symphony, and returns to the Jacksonville,
Des Moines, and Peoria
Symphonies. 

Tickets are $20 for general
admission; $8 for students. The performance is open to the public.

“A
Soldier's Eye: Europe 1944-Photographs by Irving Shapiro” opens
Thursday, Oct. 21, and runs though Dec. 19 in the Mandeville Gallery.

In 1944 Irving Shapiro was a
soldier in the midst of the Second World War. But he was also a man with a
camera, and the photographs he took during the first months after the Normandy
invasion are a remarkable record of the people and places he encountered in
that period of turmoil and upheaval.

Also on exhibit will be
artifacts and images of Union College's experience with on-campus Navy officer
training during the later years of WWII, known as the V-12 Program, featuring
research by Jeff Roffman '05.

During the run of the
exhibition, an evening film series on World War II in Europe,
organized in conjunction with the History Department,  will be held on alternate Thursdays at 7 p.m. in Old Chapel.
