Author and artist David Wright will be joined in conversation by Richard White, Tennessee State Museum chief curator. The two will discuss Wright's expansive career on the occasion of the new book, David Wright: Historian with a Brush (Grandin Hood Publishers). Authored by Western Writers Hall of Fame writer James A. Crutchfield, the book’s visually illustrated history text gives readers an exciting journey through the life of the artist, sharing his life’s work painting subjects depicting our American Frontier, Indians, Civil War and American landscapes. The Museum is proud to have a number of Wright’s works in our collection and featured in our permanent exhibition spaces.
The conversation will be prefaced by a light breakfast reception, and followed by a book signing and tour of Wright's work in the Museum galleries. David Wright: Historian with a Brush will be available in the Museum Store during the event only.
