LINCOLN ART IMAGES
Abraham Lincoln's story continues to
inspire generations of people. The
memory of his honesty, his devotion
to justice, his love for the American
people, and his determination that
this nation should be united in peace
and freedom endures. He is part of
our national consciousness and his
legacy lives with us still.
"Thomas Trimborn's
images of Lincoln reflect the many moods and character traits that
made him unique, and
that few artists have dared to imagine."
- HAROLD HOLZER, Metropolitan
Museum of Art
"Trimborn's art
is both sensitive and attractive...a penetrating depiction of the man Lincoln."
- FRANK J. WILLIAMS,
The Lincoln Forum
