Enter the Exhibit.
The Art of Love, a multi-media, one-woman, international traveling exhibition of Melinda Camber Porter's writings and paintings, was initiated by Les Services Culturels of the French Embassy in New York and has travelled to Boston, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and Washington, DC.
Her first novel Badlands, set in the awe inspiring Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is a May 1996 Book of the Month Club selection. " Badlands is an extraordinary book. Its imagery makes one think of William Blake. Better than a novel, it reads like a fierce poem, with a devastating effect on our self esteem," Louis Malle.
In the Fall of 1993 the French Embassy, New York honored Melinda Camber Porter by mounting an exhibition of her paintings and books and producing a documentary film on her work. The exhibition was presented on the occasion of the publication of her most recent book, The Art of Love,which is a selection of 60 love poems illustrated by the artist's paintings. In addition, the event was celebrated with the re-issuing of Ms. Porter's Through Parisian Eyes, a collection of interviews with French cultural luminaries.
The exhibition shows through April 19, 1996 through June 16, 1996
