"Monuments Man" - An Afternoon with Louis Rorimer

Monuments Man, the Mission to Save Vermeers, Rembrandts,

DaVincis and More from the Nazis’ Grasp

An Afternoon with Co-Author, Louis Rorimer

Louis Rorimer practiced corporate law at Jones Day in Cleveland for 35 years.
Since retirement in 2011, he has returned to his family’s roots by embarking on
the study of art history. His particular interests are Greek and Roman antiquities and the role of provenance.

Louis’s principal project for several years was the re-issuance of the
memoir written by his father, James J. Rorimer, which was originally published in
1950, about service in the U.S. Army’s Monuments, Fine Arts & Archives group in Word War II. Louis and his sister, Anne Rorimer, co-authored an enhanced edition of their father’s memoir, published by Rizzoli/Electa under the new title, Monuments Man, the Mission to Save Vermeers, Rembrandts, Da Vincis and More from the Nazis’ Grasp in 2022.

Louis Rorimer will be joining us in the Dunham Barn to reflect and share abou this father’s life and work. This event is free, but registration is recommended.
