      June 4, 1951: An exhibition of prints entitled SALUTE TO PARIS, commemorating the 2000th anniversary since the founding of Paris, will open in the Print Galleries of the Brooklyn Museum on June 4 to be current through September 16. Famous scenes, architectural views and personalities are presented in sixty lithographs and etchings by well-known artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

      “Picturesque Views of Paris”, a series of exquisite lithographs in color executed in 1839 by Thomas Shotter Boys, the sharply etched architectural vies of Meryon and the satirical lithographs of Daumier are being shown. Famous characters depicted by Degas and Toulouse Lautrec and the colorful lithographs of Bonnard and Vuillard present a charming and nostalgic picture of Paris at the close of the nineteenth century. Villon, Dufy, Matisse and others record with skill and understanding the atmosphere of modern Paris. All prints exhibited are from the Museum’s own collection.

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
