SHOW&nbsp;CLOSING&nbsp;MAY&nbsp;20!&nbsp;Don't miss it!&nbsp; This exhibition explores the artistic trajectories of the illustrator Edward Sorel and his daughter, the artist Madeline Sorel. Born in the Bronx in 1929, Edward Sorel has created some of the best-known and beloved covers and illustrations for The New Yorker, The Nation, Esquire, Vanity Fair, and many other publications, as well as a number of books created with his late wife, the author and historian Nancy Caldwell Sorel (1934-2015). In 1954 he founded Push Pin Studios along with his Cooper Union classmates Seymour Chwast (b.1931) and Milton Glaser (1929-2020); this award-winning art agency would in many ways define the look of 1950s and 1960s graphic design. Sorel’s now instantly-recognizable graphic style, characterized by spontaneous, &nbsp;gestural pen and ink linework, was one developed over decades; examples on view here from his extensive career reflect his continuing search for an artistic approach that would convey both personal integrity and individuality. Still working at 97, Edward Sorel remains a fervent freethinker who has long skewered the sacred cows of politics and religion in his work, exposing the hypocrisy and greed that often plague these professions, regardless of party or denomination (much like one of his heroes, the nineteenth-century French painter and illustrator Honoré Daumier).
Madeline Sorel’s journey as an artist has also been an exploration of self. As the daughter of a well-known artist, she understands the struggle to shine one’s creative light under such a respected but daunting shadow. In the 1980s and 1990s she established herself as an illustrator for New York newspapers and for book projects such as The Printer’s Apprentice (1995); like her father, she searched for a medium and working method that would allow her the freedom to fully express herself and her personal outlook. After attending a workshop of the fiber artist Jean Gauger, she began experimenting with Nuno felt, a hand-worked blend of wool and silk from which she now creates large, colorful, landscape-like forms and unique wearable pieces. In her book Nuno Felt Art (2018), she described the process in almost sublime terms, a communion with natural elements that she likens to another art form in which she also excels, collage. The Family Line documents her work in all these media, a path that rhymes, not echoes, that of her father.&nbsp;
For students of Kingsborough Community College, where Madeline Sorel has taught for twenty-five years, the lives and careers of Edward and Madeline Sorel contain lessons for life as well as art: regardless of where you are at the moment, keep striving for the development of your most genuine self; borrow, but don’t blindly imitate; and find the medium or style that allows you to best express your own view of the world. Above all, their art reminds us all that speaking truth to power is an integral responsibility of civic engagement.

Five Sessions... a war in therapy by Jaime Estades
 An intense, intimate, unforgettable play.In English with Spanish supertitles
It's a psychological play between a 
recent graduate therapist with a privileged background–trained with 
clinical tools and good intentions but non-experiential, and a Latino 
building superintendent during five sessions. Over the course of five 
charged therapy sessions, the audience is drawn into a confined space 
where two individuals collide: labor organizer, and a man on the edge, 
shaped by grief, exploitation, and systemic neglect. Also they interact 
with the Therapist 's Supervisor who is a social worker in the nonprofit
 world and the Therapist's Boyfriend: A hedonistic Wall Street 
investment banker. A sociopathic young man with control and abusive 
behavior. 
Directed by Edward Torres
Cast: Ivan Goris, Belange Rodriguez, Bill Blechingberg, Kyle Glenn
General Admission: $35 Students, Seniors &amp; Actor Awards: $30 (please use promo code TAKE5OFF at checkout)
