Abstract:
Francis V. Kughler discusses the design and creation of his Eighth mural Lafayette in the Old South. The mural, created for the Institute of Government building in Chapel Hill, represents the carefree way of life in the prosperous antebellum South, culminating with the Marquis de Lafayette's visit in 1825. Kughler discusses his historical research, and the study of human subjects which aided in the creation of his latest work.
