A Ship Portrait by Harry Thurston
Directed by Pamela Halstead
August 28
- August 31
Strong voices, steeped with remembrance and rapture, resonate in dialogue between the nineteenth century painter of tall ships, John O’Brien, and a modern day poet seeking to fathom his own life in the crests and depths of O’Brien’s life and paintings.
A Ship Portrait is masterfully drawn - a profound exploration of the value of
art in society, and in the life of the artist.
