NIPS Meeting

Francis Branch Library
52655 N. Ironwood Road, South Bend
11am–1pm
Program: Pastel Society member Pamela Fozo discussed the art and career of Alan Flattmann and showed his original pastel painting she recently purchased.
Over a career of more than 40 years, Alan Flattmann is recognized as one of the most influential and respected pastel artists in the country. He is a Pastel Society of America’s Hall of Fame honoree and is an Eminent Pastelist in the International Association of Pastel Societies.
Although accomplished in oil and watercolor, Flattmann, age 77 of New Orleans, is best known for his work in pastel. He is the author of the influential book, The Art of Pastel Painting.
Many members recall the excellent workshop Alan Flattmann gave for our pastel society in 2008. We are eager to view his new pastel painting that Pam will display at the meeting.
