Acclaimed Artisan in Contemporary Paper-Cutting and Visual Silhouettes

Béatrice Coron, an artisan specializing in visual silhouette story-telling cuttings in artist books, illustrations, and public art, will elaborate on how she creates these stunning and intricate worlds in the next lecture at The General Society Artisan Lecture Series on Tuesday, March 8th at 6:30PM in the General Society Library at 20 West 44th Street, New York City.

Béatrice Coron will introduce the many facets of contemporary paper cutting as well as their historical roots. From a panorama of international artists and her own work, she will demonstrate the endless possibilities and applications of this simple media.
