Richmond Matters: The gift of new perspective

December 24th, 2009 by Mark B · No Comments

For a holiday treat, we bring two new stories of Richmond, each about a new way of seeing and representing things that went on to have large-scale impact on our national lives. One tells of a young woman, Irene Langhorne Gibson, who embodied a new ideal of American Womanhood and possibility. The other is about a young self-taught artist, Francis Xavier Reardon, who changed the way visual storytelling was done. And Happy Holidays to all!
