1916: GEORGE ANTHEIL: MUSICIAN AND ARTIST

Here's another graphic featuring the noted area artist, George Antheil. I had heard of his musical expertise, but didn't realize he was so multi-talented. If any viewer has additional graphics relating to Antheil, Mr. Mauro Piccinini from Italy would be interested. Send anything you may have to me at thomglo@verizon.net and I will see that it gets posted.

What a great story. In the final paragraph, the article notes that the winning poster was executed in blue and yellow "Trenton's colors". Do you know how long ago Trenton officially had colors and where they were displayed?

Thanks!

Hi Stephen:

Many thanks for visiting my website. I have seen references to Trenton's "blue and gold" dating back to the early part of the 20th century. The colors were usually tied into efforts to boost the image of the city. Up to this point, I haven't been able to determine the genesis of the colors. I hope you visit my site frequently, and again, thanks for taking the time to write.
