Italy, says Joseph Luzzi, is a chiaroscuro nation – a land of sharp contrasts. Luzzi, the director of Italian studies at Bard and the award-winning author of The Blessed Lens: A History of Italian Cinema, calls Caravaggio – the "incarnation" of Italy's dualistic spirit.

From September 21 to December 31, 2011, the Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture (BGC) presents American Christmas Cards, 1900-1960 in our Focus Gallery. The exhibition has been organized by Kenneth L. Ames, member of the BGC faculty, working in collaboration with graduate students. This is the first exhibition to study the images on American Christmas cards of the 20th century, and it serves as an introduction to a large artifactual and aesthetic field that until now has been largely unexplored.
Photo: French-fold card, black and red lithography with silver on paper, ca. 1935. Made in U.S.A.
