DESCRIPTION:A new exhibit\, Anonymous: 19th and 20th Century Photographs an
 d Quilts by Unknown Artists from the Collection of Robert Flynn Johnson\, 
 will run August 5 through September 18 at Petaluma Arts  Center\, 230 Lake
 ville Street\, Petaluma. Anonymous photography has a magical and mysteriou
 s quality. The nineteenth and twentieth century images assembled here by c
 ollector and curator Robert Flynn Johnson are by turn poignant\, humorous\
 , erotic\, and disturbing. Their subject is the human condition. Although 
 the artists are unknown\, the photographs could be made by anyone who has 
 ever used a camera.\nJohnson’s search for vernacular photographs led him
  to discover another form of memory-gathering and he began collecting hand
 -made quilts. He found the same mystery and poignant humanity in quilts\, 
 pieced together from family clothing and fabrics.\nRecently retired as cur
 ator in charge of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine Ar
 ts Museum of San Francisco\, a position he held since 1975\, Robert Flynn 
 Johnson is the author of numerous books and critical essays. Two recent bo
 oks will be on sale at the Petaluma  Art Center during the exhibition:  A
 nonymous: Enigmatic Images from Unknown Photographers and The Face in the 
 Lens: Anonymous Photography.\nThe exhibition includes 12 quilts and numero
 us photographic images from Johnson’s second book\, The Face in the Lens
 . Selected photographs from the author’s collection will be offered for 
 sale. Johnson will sign both books at the August 14 panel discussion with
  San Francisco gallery owners and fellow collectors\, Stephen Wirtz and Ro
 bert Tat.\nRELATED EVENTS:\nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, August 13\, 4-7p

DESCRIPTION:David Hockney\, one of the most important British artists of th
 e twentieth century\, takes a contemporary and often humorous approach in 
 a series of 39 etchings created to illustrate and honor the popular childr
 en's tales collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The etchings pay homage t
 o earlier illustrations by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac\, but focus mor
 e on Hockney's imaginative response to the text rather than strict interpr
 etations of the narratives.\nAt a time when mainstream publishing houses a
 re questioning the very  need for books published in traditional\, physica
 l formats\, artists who  create books continue to creatively push the limi
 ts of the genre. Made  primarily by Bay Area artists\, the books included 
 in Rebound: A Survey of Contemporary California Artists' Books include a  
 variety of formats and display a wide range of processes that currently  i
 nterest the contemporary artist engaged in making artist's books. This exh
 ibition runs concurrently with the David Hockney show.\nExhibitions take p
 lace at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art\, 551 Broadway\, just off the Sonoma T
 own Plaza.
