New York, NY: Jonathan Lackman and Zachary J. Pinson (The Woman With Fifty Faces) in conversation with Bill Wasick at P&T Knitwear

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Jonathan Lackman and Zachary J. Pinson to celebrate the publication of their graphic biography, The Woman With Fifty Faces: a masterful collaboration about identity and the power and limits of reinvention, and a biography of the woman who persuaded fifty artists — Bonnard, Chagall, Derain, Léger, Matisse, Rouault, and Valadon among them — to immortalize her in paintings and sculptures for the plot device of a nonexistent film.

Jonathan and Zachary will be joined in conversation by Bill Wasick, author of Our Kindred Creatures. After the discussion and audience Q&A, Jonathan and Zachary will sign copies of The Woman With Fifty Faces.
