CIRCULAR ART
Artistic obsessions come in myriad manifestations. Wayne Hulgin's takes the form of circles, some so tiny that they are smaller than pinheads. He fits hundreds of them into drawings that measure a few inches in size. And in his paintings, they become the components of abstract, atmospheric fields of color. Both types of work by the artist are in his solo exhibition, now on view at the Earl & Birdie Taylor Library in Pacific Beach through Jan. 4. (858) 581-9934 or sandiego.gov/public-library.

The book tells the story of Jewish underground and partisan resistance to Nazi persecution in Vilna, Lithuania, focusing on one young couple, Leizer and Zenia Lewinson Bart, who met and married in the ghetto of Vilna. Written by Laurel Corona, and based on years of research by the Barts’ son Michael, UNTIL OUR LAST BREATH is described by reviewers as "a narrative of great but controlled power," "carefully nuanced and beautifully written," "appeal[ing] equally to the head and the heart." Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the reading. (St.Martin’s Press, 2008)
