Christmas Luncheon and Program
You are invited to a luncheon and a fabulous program by our very own Joe Miller. He will be doing a presentation on the famous Dutch painter, Johannes Vermeer who was acclaimed the world’s finest artist in the late 1800’s being compared to Rembrandt and Michelangelo. In 1935 an artist named Han van Meegeren set out to forge a Vermeer. He was successful beyond imagination. How did he get away with it? What happened to van Meegeren? Where are his paintings today? Why was he so successful? For the rest of the story and a few laughs attend this event sponsored by The JOY Group. A Soup and Sandwich lunch will be provided for a donation.
