Songs for Harper Lee #27
Brian Edmonds • Acrylic on panel
Artist’s statement: “In the beginning I wanted to use the novel as a starting point for a series of paintings. The work soon came to be less about the novel and more about the idea of Harper Lee. Harper Lee is a part of this landscape. Her words and characters are familiar to all Southerners. They are full of the innocent that soon realize something is amiss. These paintings are dedicated to the forgotten, stillness that once populated our land.”
