Art Viewing Adventures: Jack London, Photographer (Virtual)
October 28 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Jack London was a man of many parts: cannery worker, oyster pirate, and sailor while still a teenager, self-educated author of 50 books (and the first American author to earn a million dollars), war correspondent, Socialist and forward-thinking rancher. A lesser-known aspect of his prodigious activity was photography. Over the course of his life, London took some 12,000 photos, both during his journalistic exploits and his travels with wife Charmian. They form a fascinating record of a world unknown to most of his contemporaries, and display sharp composition, an unerring sense of drama, and sympathetic respect for his subjects. Avril Angevine returns to Art Viewing Adventures to add this dimension to a well-known Bay Area celebrity.
