On The Wall
A selection of murals from artist Robert Evans ’79
Viewers often think of art as propelled by inspiration, but for Robert Evans ’79, meticulous prep work is essential for large wall murals that can stretch 50 to 60 feet or more. “It all comes down to planning and not getting lost on the wall,” says Evans, whose work appears at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, the New England Aquarium, George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate and museums and visitor centers around the country.
