Bird of the Inner Eye

Painter Morris Graves spent his last 30 years in Humboldt County. His paintings are famous throughout the world. Less known are his writings—passionate and revelatory of his stance as a war-resister, an environmentalist, a 1950’s gay man. Dell’Arte’s Joan Schirle & Company present a reading from Graves’ letters, including words from the many women who helped him realize his vision. “. . . these letters are gems - conveying verve and passion and trains of thought possibly more complex than we tweeting twits of the 21st century can ever hope to express or even comprehend." -- Bellingham Herald
