Virginia War Memorial Artist Spotlight: Dash Shaw
Date(s)
- October 27, 2021 | 7:00 pm
Richmond native, Dash Shaw, is an award-winning cartoonist, animator, writer and director. His most recent feature film, Cryptozoo, received the NEXT Innovator Prize at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and is distributed by Magnolia Pictures.
During this in-person presentation, Dash will discuss his graphic novel, Discipline, available October 5, 2021 from the New York Review Comics. It chronicles the life of a teenage Quaker who joins the Union Army and experiences firsthand the brutality of the Civil War. Join us for this program to discover how Dash Shaw incorporated archival materials from actual Quaker soldiers into this story and how the battlefield illustrations of Thomas Nast and Winslow Homer influenced the style of Discipline.
