The Imperative of Beauty - Donor Update

Book Fundraising Update

We are working hard raising funds for the upcoming publication of Barbara's first book, Barbara Rogers: Imperative of Beauty. This book will be the first comprehensive book on the life and work of this important Arizona and California painter and educator.

Lavishly illustrated, the book will present the full scope of Rogers' life and work with more than 150 color images, interviews with the artist and essays by Carter Ratcliff, Paul Ivey, and Marilyn Zeitlin.  The book is scheduled for publication in May 2012 by Marquand Books.
