Look Homeward, Angel: Letterio Calapai’s Wood Engravings

December 10, 2025 - February 22, 2026

Dec 10 - Feb 22

Look Homeward, Angel: Letterio Calapai’s Wood Engravings of the Asheville-Inspired Novel presents a folio of prints by Letterio Calapai illustrating Look Homeward, Angel (1929)—Thomas Wolfe’s semi-autobiographical novel set in a fictionalized Asheville. Produced during Calapai’s time at the influential Atelier 17 studio, the folio demonstrates how the artist integrated literary and artistic traditions throughout his practice. The exhibition will coincide with Thomas Wolfe’s 125th birthday, celebrating both artist and author.
