Artist Will Pay Cold War Veterans for Posing

Yevgeniy Fiks, an artist and college professor living in New York City, is preparing an art exhibition dedicated to the Cold War history. As part of this exhibition, he is painting several portraits of American Cold Ward Veterans. According to his idea, these portraits will help articulate a link between past and present in his art exhibition. The exhibition will be on view at an art gallery or museum in New York City.



Mr. Fiks is looking for American Cold War Veterans who are interested to pose for a portrait. A portrait will be painted from life and it will take 2 hours. Painting can be done in his artist's studio in New York, or he can travel to where you are (up to 3 hours away from New York). Each participant will be compensated according to $25 in hour (normal painting session will take 2 hours). The artist will retain the finished portraits, but each participant will receive a high-quality framed reproduction of the finished portrait.



Yevgeniy Fiks can be contacted at email kunst11@earthlink.net or tel. 212.581.3676



Thanks again for your help,

Sean
