About
An illustrated evening talk at Cooper Hewitt's lecture room, with a welcome and an optional audience Q&A. Victoria Johnson, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and professor at Hunter College, speaks on the life of the artist Frederic Church, whose footsteps she followed around the globe for her new biography, Glorious Country. She tells how Church's curiosity, bravery, and passion for nature drove him to explore the world, and how his acclaimed, blockbuster paintings persuaded skeptical critics that the "New World" could produce towering artists, bringing the world to America and America to the world. The program is part of Frederic Church in Jamaica, supported by the Henry Luce Foundation and others.
