For decades, artist Francis X. Pavy has captured the spirit, landscapes, and layered histories of French Louisiana through vivid color and unmistakable style. In this conversation with Tulane's Nick Spitzer, Pavy reflects on a lifetime of work shaped by place, language, and culture, exploring how art can both preserve tradition and continually reimagine it. Featuring the 2026 official poster artist for the New Orleans Book Festival, this session offers a rare look at the creative vision behind an enduring body of work.
