@Macaulay Author Series featuring Acclaimed Biographer Deborah Solomon

Following Deborah Solomon’s reading from her groundbreaking new biography American Mirror: The Life and Work of Norman Rockwell, she and the critic and novelist Daphne Merkin will hold a conversation on “The Wounded Norman Rockwell.”  With American Mirror, Solomon trains her eye on an American icon whose life and work provided twentieth-century America with a defining and comforting image of itself. But his life was far darker and more complicated than his public realized. Solomon was also “Questions For” columnist of The New York Times and a biographer of Jackson Pollock and Joseph Cornell.
