In his half-century as an icon of American photography, Brady had many crucial roles in the medium\u2019s development\u2014as innovator, entrepreneur, mentor, role model, collector, and booster of the form\u2019s artistic potential\u2014but his achievement in the actual making of photographs, before, during, and after the war, should not be overlooked. Using a number of Brady images to prove his case, Robert Wilson draws from his recent biography, Mathew Brady: Portraits of a Nation, to reintroduce the photographs of the single most important American in photography\u2019s first decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Robert Wilson<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/06\/Robert-Wilson-author-photo2-2-page-001-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/06\/Robert-Wilson-author-photo2-2-page-001-150x150.jpg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/06\/Robert-Wilson-author-photo2-2-page-001-50x50.jpg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/06\/Robert-Wilson-author-photo2-2-page-001-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Robert Wilson has been editor of The American Scholar since 2004.
