They Called Me Mayer July

Mayer z"l: The unfinished painting

 It is now two months since Mayer died. He was 93 years old. Mayer lived life long and well. He left us much to celebrate, even as we mourn the loss. During the shiva I took this photo of his studio.

You can sign the Memorial Book for him here.

Mayer featured in the Globe and Mail, February 1, 2010, in Lives Lived

Watch for the story! Will post it here. Mayer would have been thrilled.

The exhibition started in Mayer's home town, Opatów, with the help of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, and was reinstalled at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kazimierz. The GJM is traveling the exhibition. Stay tuned!
