Fireside Chat with Christopher C. Gorham, author of Matisse at War

• Sunday, October 5 @ 5:00 pm
• Lewes Public Library, Lewes, DE

Join us in-person in the library or online as Fireside Chats host Paul Sparrow converses with Christopher C. Gorham, author of Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi Occupied France. Spotlighting the years during WWII when Henri Matisse and his family defiantly refused to evacuate Nazi-occupied France, this groundbreaking book illuminates the previously untold history of their passionate roles in the Resistance and the prodigious, revolutionary work the artist produced in the face of fascism, violence, and hate.

Gorham is a lawyer, educator, and acclaimed author whose books include the Goodreads Choice Award finalist, The Confidante. With degrees in history from Tufts University and the University of Michigan, he served on the editorial staff of the Syracuse Law Review while earning his J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law. His writing has appeared in The Washington Post and in online journals.
