"Drawing D-Day" Coming to Sigal Museum

As a young art student from New Jersey, Ugo Giannini was part of the first wave of troops who landed on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion in World War II.

He turned what he saw that day into a series of print collection of pen, pencil, and crayon sketches.

On June 29, Easton's Sigal Museum will put those sketches on display for "Drawing D-Day," a month-long gallery show celebratng Giannini's work.

The show will open June 29 with a reception, book signing, and conversation with the artist's widow Maxine, who compiled the sketches and her husband's wartime letters for the book Drawing D-Day.

The reception runs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The show itself will last until July 31.
