| The "Four Freedoms," were enumerated by President Franklin Roosevelt in a message to congress in January 1941 in which he defined these freedoms as freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. Rockwell's posters graced the covers of four consecutive issues of The Saturday Evening Post magazine in 1943. The posters displayed here are not original art, but are original reproductions as stated in the letter to my father from the Saturday Evening Post (1943). |

ART SHOW for March 2004
featuring the work of Yoshiko Z. Jaeggi,
wife of CCC member Richard Jaeggi.
 |
Yoshiko Z. Jaeggi, describes her work in this way: "I am an illustrator for children’s magazines. Most of my work has been published in Cricket magazine. Someday I hope to publish my own book. Mostly I paint in watercolors but I also enjoy acrylic, charcoal and digital art. In this art show I would like to show children how a magazine’s text and illustration come together in a magazine story." Don’t miss the special box for children to see near the end of the show closest to Brewster Ave. |

Artist's Statement When I am painting, I am often lost in a meditative state. I have little concept of time or what else is going on around me. I have the sense of being totally caught up in the quiet. Often I cannot foresee what the painting will look like. I may have an idea or an image in my mind of something I would like to do or accomplish with the painting, but the pointing always takes on a life of its own and surprises me. So in a sense, the painting is more than me. While in Iowa, I was a part of a painting group that went out on Saturday afternoons and painted landscapes. So there are a series of landscapes here from that time in my life. That was an important time for me as those folks were the ones who encouraged me to begin painting again. Then I did a sabbatical at Pacific School of Religion in 1993. The goal of that sabbatical was to put my two selves together. That is, in my first career I had been an art teacher. When I went to seminary, I decided I needed to do the "intellectual thing" there and so I did only one painting for one class. All the rest of my works were tests and papers. So I decided that I wanted to do theological and biblical study and respond to that by drawing and painting. Pacific School of Religion has a wonderful program on Religion and the Arts and so I took full advantage of that while on sabbatical. Prom that time there ore three pieces: Presence. Limpid Reflections and The great Cloud of Witnesses. I also paint when I am on vacation, so there are scenes from Nova Scotia, Maine, and West Virginia. For some reason other vacations did not make it into the show. The non-representational painting and the leaf prints were just for fun! Thanks to my wonderful friends and family, who now own many of these paintings, for lending them to me for this show and to Gordon Forbes for putting three paintings into poetry. I hope that those of you who view this show may find in the paintings something that speaks to your spirit. Linda Carder |

The Sabbath Chair* Come, sit!
Come smell! moistened earth! Come, look!
Come, renew!
Come, alone!
Come, receive my gift of emptiness! *This picture was painted during Linda Carder’s sabbatical in Nova Scotia near the Bay of Fundy after she had recovered her love of watercolors. The Reverend Gordon M. Forbes |
