Peanuts on Screen: The Art and Animation of Bill Melendez –
2 March 2006 –31 May 2006

Bill Melendez has been working as an animator in Hollywood for more than 65 years. He started out at Warner Brothers in the 1940s and early 1950s, animating Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, and Daffy Duck, then moving to UPA to do Mr. Magoo. But his real claim to fame is as the producer and director of the “Peanuts” animated television films, based on the Charles M. Schulz characters. Beginning with A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), Melendez was responsible for over fifty television films with Charlie Brown & Co., even taking on duties to voice Snoopy. This exhibition will present animated cels, art work and other material from Bill Melendez’ studio.

Street Art: Classic Polish Film Posters –
8 December 2005 – 12 March 2006

It is not surprising that Polish film posters from the 1950s through the 1970s have become highly collectable as fine art. Produced by various art studios for the Polish national film distribution system, which had a monopoly under Communism, Polish film posters are immediately recognizable for their originality in graphic design, use of color, and subject matter. Well known designers include Wojciech Zamecznik, Jerzy Treutler, Maurycy T. Stryjecki, Romuald Socha, Jacek Neugebauer, Jan Leica, Maciej Hibner, Viktor Gorka, Jerzy Flisak, Jacub Erol, and Hanna Bodnar. This exhibition has been culled from the collections of Charles Evans and Gale Anne Hurd.
