Harold Holzer, the author of the award-winning Monument Man: The Life and Art of Daniel Chester French, explores the 50-year career of the great American sculptor, and his greatest achievement: the iconic Lincoln statue on the National Mall. How did French prepare for his biggest challenge? How did he find inspiration in the Berkshires? And how has the Lincoln Memorial achieved immortality in American art, iconography, history, and tradition?
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
