Feature: AFTERWARD: EDDIE, HARRY, and ISRAEL at White Theatre
EDDIE, the play, ends with the recognition of Israel by the United States. A short, two- paragraph statement immediately conveyed the backing of the world’s wealthiest nation with the world’s most powerful military. But that was not the end of the story either for Israel or for Eddie Jacobson.
Review: EDDIE: THE FRIENDSHIP THAT CHANGED HISTORY At White Theatre
It is hard to imagine a tougher gig for any actor than a one-man show about an historical personage; especially in front of people who may have known that person in life or are related to him by blood. This is the towering achievement of actor Victor Raider-Wexler as he conjured up the living being of Westport clothier and Harry Truman presidential buddy Eddie Jacobson for two only performances at the White Theatre inside the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park on May 13 and May 14.
Feature: EDDIE: THE FRIENDSHIP THAT CHANGED HISTORY at White Theatre
On the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel, a not commonly cited friendship, between President Harry S. Truman and a Kansas City friend may well have had an outsized influence on the success of the new tiny country. That man was Eddie Jacobson, Truman’s close friend since 1905. Both Truman and Jacobson served in the same World War I artillery unit, became business partners, and remained lifelong friends.
Eddie Martinez: White Outs Comes to Bronx Museum Of The Arts, Today
The Bronx Museum of the Arts is pleased to present White Outs, an exhibition by artist Eddie Martinez, which will be on view November 14, 2018 through February 17, 2019. Widely recognized for his large-scale paintings, Martinez has built a consistent body of work over the last decade, successfully merging the tradition of American abstract painting with the energy of the street. These paintings began as Sharpie drawings, then were blown-up, silkscreened, and painted over in a careful, yet unfailingly dynamic, process of layering and expansion. In these new works, created especially for this exhibition, Martinez introduces a new element to his process-the "whiting out" of parts of the composition. It is a move that represents a significant turning point in his career.
