Beyond the Paint podcast is shaking up our format for this episode! Please join me for a conversation with the writer and historian John Launius. Our talk encompasses his writings (he wrote a book about the philanthropist and art collector Charles Parsons), but also our shared interest and enthusiasm for women, female artists like Harriet Hosmer, featured in his book, and other women who break through societal and cultural norms. This episode is dedicated to Harry Sparks. :)
