Historic LoDo: Victoria Tupper Kirby, Allen True’s granddaughter, will discuss and sign her new book Allen Tupper True: An American Artist ($25.00 Museum of the Rockies/Univ. of Washington Press). This first definitive biography of the Colorado artist Allen Tupper True (1881-1955) relies on letters, diaries, and contemporary news accounts as well as family history to describe his artistic evolution from illustrator to easel painter to muralist. The lavish illustrations include most of True’s murals (both extant and destroyed), a selection of his major easel paintings, as well as some of his sketches and cartoons and Indian-inspired designs.
