Pearl of Wisdom: The Iconic Art of August Holland

Eric Lussier brings to life the artist August Holland, creator of the most collectible trio of Mid-Century Tiki still life paintings ever! At age 15, Holland submitted art to Popular Science Magazine, which printed it without credit. After attending the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Holland eventually found recognition in the Windy City. Goes Lithography was his first publisher, printing his most famous work. This seminar will also focus on how Goes Lithography just recently found the original, long lost printing plates!
