SUMMARY:PMA Book Club
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO MEMBERS ONLY \n\n\n\nLove art and books?\n\n\n\nJoin the PMA Book Club—open to PMA members and meeting quarterly for in-person conversations that explore the connections between literature\, creativity\, and culture. No prior art knowledge needed.  \n\n\n\nThis June\, Julia Keiser will lead our book club conversation surrounding Winslow Homer: American Passage here at the PMA. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited\, please register online \n\n\n\nPurchase a copy at the PMA Store\, Members get 10% Off! \n\n\n\nHomer’s pictures cast a wide and deep appeal\, yet few facts were known of the life of the man behind the art until Cross’s biography was published by Farrar\, Straus and Giroux in April 2022. The story of Homer’s life illuminates the stories embedded in his art and the stories of our own times. Homer’s art and life relate closely to the struggles of today. As people of all races\, ages and places look together at our shared visual heritage\, we may find new ways to understand one another and ourselves.  \n\n\n\nIf you have questions about book club and membership at the PMA you are welcome to reach out to our Annual Gifts Officer\, Lily Spearsmith\, at lspearsmith@portlandmuseum.org or (207) 318‑2055. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to discussing Winslow Homer: American Passage with you! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWilliam R. Cross \n\n\n\nBill Cross believes that all people need stories. He is now working on a second biography\, of the design impresario Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933). Cross is Chair of the Advisory Board for the Yale Center for Faith and Culture\, and President of Citizens’ Initiative for Manchester Affordable Housing (dba Citizens by the Sea). For more than three decades he managed investment teams and investment portfolios\, while also writing\, researching and lecturing on art\, faith and history. A Chartered Financial Analyst\, he was a Scholar of the House at Yale College\, from which he graduated magna cum laude. He also earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. He and his wife live in Manchester\, Massachusetts\, twenty-five miles east and north of Boston.
