Library lecture on sculptor’s exhibit

The first major U.S. retrospective of British sculptor Henry Moore’s 60-year career opened last month at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Docent Gretchen Turner will review this exhibit of 100 sculptures and 80 drawings in a free lecture 7:30 tonight, at the Los Altos main library, 13 S. San Antonio Road. Turner’s lecture is sponsored by the Friends of the Los Altos Library.

The exhibit illustrates Moore’s seminal role in the evolution of modern sculpture and documents key phases of his artistic development. Works that show influences such as surrealism, mysterious biomorphic forms, and tribal and primitive arts alter common perceptions about Moore as an artist.

Turner has fostered her lifetime interest in art by participating in the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Community Speakers Program since 1990. She is also a hemodialysis nurse.

Exec director leaves CSMA

Andrea Temkin, the longtime executive director of the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA), has resigned to pursue other interests, the Mountain View-based school announced Monday.

“I will always be proud of the exciting period of organizational growth during which I had the privilege of leading CSMA,” Temkin said.

Angela A. McConnell has been named as interim director. McConnell has a history with non-profit groups, most recently serving as the vice president of the school’s board of directors from 1999 to the present.

CSMA, founded in 1968, serves students of all ages through lessons, classes, camps and arts-in-the-schools programs.
