TUES, OCT 14 • 1PM & 7PM
Rialto Cinemas, Sebastopol
The first feature-length documentary about the extraordinary Polish Jewish painter Tamara de Lempicka—whose enduring work is beloved by art collectors the world over, including Barbra Streisand, and who was the subject of a recent Broadway musical—Julie Rubio’s film provides an essential and riveting account of a woman who defied all rules.
After stunning the international art world in 1920s Paris with her work, which mixed cubist and neoclassicist styles, Lempicka fled to the United States in 1940 amidst the rise of fascism in Europe. This film charts her path to freedom—as an artist, as an immigrant, as a bisexual woman—and examines what gives her marvelous paintings their aesthetic power and political impact. Narrated by Anjelica Huston, and featuring newly discovered material, including 8mm home movies, Rubio’s film is a tribute to an undimmed luminary and an investigation into the sociohistorical and psychological realities that create artistic legacy.

THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE, GARDENING & ART
OCT 11, 12 & 18, 19 • 10 AM - 5PM
Art Trails is a wonderful opportunity to meet artists in person, see their work, watch demonstrations and ask questions. Blessings of the Earth is a reflection of Peter Krohn's love and admiration for the beautiful light and compositional quality present in the Old Masters' still life paintings. Rather than a traditional camera and lens to capture these images, Peter uses a scanner and live objects he has grown or found and composes these with the use of fishing line, a soldering-assist device to direct the play of light and shadow. Please drop by anytime from 10am-5pm on either or both weekends from October 11,12 and 18,19

NEW CLASS ON NEVI'IM (PROPHETS) STARTING
MON, OCT 20 • 6 PM
Beth Ami, Santa Rosa
Join us for our new Nevi’im (Prophets) class where Rabbi Koas will lead us in looking at the books of the Prophets. Following Simchat Torah’s celebration of completing this past year’s annual Torah reading cycle, we will be picking up where Deuteronomy leaves off by diving into the Book of Joshua.
As we join the generation that crosses the Jordan to enter the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua, the children of Israel will encounter a new set of trials, tribulations, and miracles during the conquest of Canaan. This class will be an ongoing endeavor taking place every month on the third Monday at 6:00 as we work our way through the Prophets. Make sure to bring snacks and an appetite for learning more about the history of our people.
