[OPLINLIST] Symbolism in the DaVinci Code

[Anne Prusha]

I would like to introduce you to Jennifer Finkel and encourage you to book
her for a program on "How to Read' a picture, Symbolism in the Art of
Leonardo DaVinci."  Her program compliments that of Dr. Joseph Kelly who
claims up front that he is not an art historiam.  Jennifer Finkel is an art
historian, a doctoral student at Case-Western Reserve University, and a
specialist in the Renaissance period.  She filled in for us at the very last
minute when the original speaker was unable to present and did an excellent
job.  The evaluations were favorable across the board.  Many libraries are
booking the two of them as a series.

Believe it or not, the enthusiasm is still there for the book.  We held our
program two weeks ago, and had over 200 people in the audience.  This was
not as much as the first program, but it is a more specific topic and
probably does not appeal to quite as wide an audience.

Ms. Finkel is willing to travel, but you will have to make special
arrangements with her.  She can be reached at jenniferfinkel@ameritech.net.
I hope that your audience will be as favorably impressed as ours was.  If
you have any questions, I will be glad to answer if I can.
