Zorthian/Feynman exhibit discussion this Sunday at the Armory

A panel discussion about the exhibition “Jirayr Zorthian / Richard Feynman: A Conversation in Art” will take place in the Caldwell Gallery at the Armory Center for the Arts Sunday, July 13, at 2 p.m. Panelists will include: Michelle Feynman, the authority on her father, Richard Feynman’s, art; Seyburn Zorthian, a respected practicing artist and an expert on the art of her father, Jirayr Zorthian; and Richard Davies, a physicist, painter, and close friend of both Richard Feynman and Jirayr Zorthian. Davies’ exhibition is also on view at the Armory. Jay Belloli, curator of the exhibition and Gallery Director at the Armory, will serve as moderator. Admission to the panel discussion is free.

The Zorthian / Feynman exhibition will be on view through August 31, and documents one of the most famous and unusual artist and scientist friendships in the history of Southern California, that between artist and public personality Jirayr H. Zorthian and Caltech Nobel Laureate physicist Richard P. Feynman. A color-illustrated catalogue has been published by the Armory in connection with the exhibition. This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Pasadena Art Alliance.

The Armory is located at 145 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, and the gallery is open Tuesday – Sunday, noon-5 p.m. Admission is free. The Armory is easily accessible from the Gold Line Memorial Park Station in Pasadena.
