The Gould Center and Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to present an exhibition of artwork from world-renowned artist, poet, and songwriter Leonard Cohen’s private collection.
In addition to his internationally recognized music and poetry, Cohen’s artwork is taking center stage through the production of Book of Longing by renowned composer Philip Glass. Spanning over 40 years, this collection highlights selected art from the drawings and journals of Cohen and reflects his life-long love of drawing. All images are produced with permanent pigmented ink on 300 lb. Arches watercolor paper, finished with a hand-deckled edge. For each print, Cohen has signed, titled, numbered and dated, and embossed and stamped with his official seal.
The exhibition is scheduled to open on Monday, February 9. It is available to the public and can be viewed from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum, 385 E. Eighth Street, Claremont, Calif. The Athenaeum may be closed to the public on holidays and for scheduled events. For more information about viewing times, please call (909) 621-8244.

. With my own creativity, (and in my a gallery work in which I am surrounded by artists), it would appear in most cases to be 95% persperation, 5% inspiration.
