Mark Levitch is an art historian whose main interest is the art and visual culture of World War I. He has worked since 2006 as a researcher and writer at the National Gallery of Art and is currently the Collection Researcher in the Department of Photographs. In 2012 he founded the non-profit World War I Memorial Inventory Project, which aims to document, preserve, and raise awareness about the thousands of World War I memorials in the US. He is the author of Panthéon de la Guerre: Reconfiguring a Panorama of the Great War (2008) as well as several essays about World War I art, visual culture, and remembrance. Before starting his graduate studies in art history, Levitch worked for nine years as an intelligence analyst for European affairs at the State Department.

At this CelebSalon, he will talk about this book, and about WWI memorials in DC, including the new one that is being constructed in Pershing Park.
