“The Murals” Virtual Film Screening and Filmmaker Q&A
The Henry Varnum Poor Foundation has scheduled a screening of the new documentary film entitled “The Murals.” The screening will take place on ZOOM on Thursday, June 27 at 7pm Eastern. The virtual screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film maker, TG Jamroz moderated by Clare Sheridan.
“The Murals” is the new 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.
“Through this film making 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.” --film maker TG Jamroz
