“Through this filmmaking journey, I came to understand the outsized influence Poor had on the 20th century. He might be the most unknown influential artist of the 20th century. He was involved everywhere with everything.” —TG Jamroz

To commemorate the birthday of Rockland artist Henry Varnum Poor, the Rockland Center for the Arts and Historical Society of Rockland County will screen the new film The Murals. The screenings will take place on Saturday, September 30, at 2 pm at the HSRC and at 7 pm at RoCA. Each screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker, TG Jamroz.

The Murals is a documentary about the New Deal-era Uptown Post Office Murals in Chicago. The film explores how and why they were made by Henry Varnum Poor; why they feature Carl Sandburg and Louis Sullivan; and how they inspire people today.

These are free events. Space is limited and reservations are required. Refreshments will be served courtesy of the Henry Varnum Poor Foundation, Inc.
