Drawing on his 25-year tenure as art critic for The San Diego Union-Tribune (1985–2010) and his work for the Los Angeles Times, Pincus and McGraw will offer an insider’s perspective on the exhibition “DeLoss McGraw: Painter-Poet” — on view for a limited time at Geisel Library.
The program concludes with a reception and exclusive access to additional treasures from the DeLoss McGraw Papers not seen in the exhibition.
