Join Lori Taylor-Blitz, Executive Director of the Beaver Island Historical Society, and Greg Wittkopp, Director of Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research, as they tell the story of the egg tempera mural “Hauling in the Net.” The painting, which depicts three brawny fisherman plying their trade on the Great Lakes, was created by Cranbrook artist Zoltan Sepeshy for the Lincoln Park Post Office in 1940. The painting, however, never was embraced by the citizens of the landlocked city and by 1967 it had found its way to Beaver Island in the middle of northern Lake Michigan. This webinar traces the history of the mural and its artist, looks at the connection of the fishermen in the painting with the Beaver Island residents, tells the story of its various homes on the island, and finally details its meticulous restoration by the Beaver Island Historical Society.
