Born in Berlin, Germany, Lilli Gettinger (1920-1999) fled the Nazis in 1938 and eventually settled in the Princeton region. She had her first solo exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in 1952 and also taught sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New york City for fifteen years. In her polychrome relief sculptures and pastel drawings, the references to the terrors of the concentration camps as well as her own harrowing escape from Germany are intermingled with allusions to literature, music and the Bible.

"Dog Dogs" turns a loving eye on canines and the "human animals" caring for them.  Acutely observing the canine world, he sees dignity in the ankle-high Chihuahua, the anxiety of the homeless hound, the smugness of the adored dachshund, the patience of the poodle and the matchless joy of the homely but well-loved pug. These humorous and insightful photographs explore quirky relationships between dogs and people, and prove that our friendship grows from mutual reseemblance and feeling.  On May 13, Steven Perloff will speak about photography of the animal kingdom, a one-time only lecture at 1pm.
