Jack London, Photographer
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
2:00 - 3:00 PM | Don Tatzin Community Hall Popular art lecturer Avril Angevine returns with a new talk about Jack London. He was a man of many parts: cannery worker, oyster pirate, sailor, self-educated author of 50 books, war correspondent, forward-thinking rancher, and more. Photography was a lesser-known aspect of his prodigious activity. London took some 12,000 photos both during his journalistic exploits and his travels. They form a fascinating record of a world unknown to most of his contemporaries, and display sharp composition, an unerring sense of drama, and sympathetic respect for his subjects.
