Art at Lunch: J.J. Lankes in Vermont
with scholar Welford Taylor
The woodcut prints of Julius John (J. J.) Lankes illustrated a number of Robert Frost’s publications, and the two were good friends. In this Art at Lunch, scholar Welford Taylor will share images from his collection and discuss Vermont’s influence on Lankes’ work.
