Exhibition - Encounters With Lincoln

Images And Words By Thomas J. Trimborn
The Lincoln Museum Store is sponsoring an exhibition of a unique collection of evocative Abraham Meet Mr. Lincoln by Thomas J. TrimbornLincoln images by Thomas Trimborn. Mr. Trimborn’s work portrays Lincoln from an artist’s point of view. Abraham Lincoln was indeed a multidimensional man, and these portraits tell us his story – about the melancholy Lincoln, the extraordinary thinker, the avid reader, the lonely leader, the humorous storyteller, and more. As Lincoln authority Harold Holzer states, you will find a Lincoln “that few artists have dared to imagine”, a Lincoln that is “captured... moving beyond the constraints of photographic models.

The original works in this exhibit, reproduced in his book Encounters With Lincoln: Images and Words published by the Truman State University Press, tell the Lincoln story anew in a way that continues to inspire.

Trimborn’s book, the original art, and a limited selection of prints of his work will be available for sale in the Museum Store.
