Art History Workshop
Start: June 22, 2010
End: September 01, 2010Sponsored by: Provincetown Art Association and Museum
Since the late 19th century, Provincetown has been an inspiration to artists and writers. From Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism, to the contemporary art being produced on outer Cape Cod today, the combined creative output of this region has contributed significantly to American art history. This three-day intensive course will focus on the history of Provincetown art and the town’s vital role in the creation and preservation of our cultural heritage. Lecture 1 will introduce participants to what a 1916 article in the Boston Globe described as “The biggest art colony in the world,” focusing on Charles W. Hawthorne and his school of art, and the founding of the Provincetown Art Association. Lecture 2 will present the work of mid-20th century artists, and in particular, Hans Hofmann, and his role in bringing Abstract Expressionism to the forefront. Lecture 3 will address the pivotal events of the late 1960s—which informed numerous art movements of the latter 20th century—and will provide an introduction to the rich and varied community of contemporary artists practicing at the tip of Cape Cod today. Lectures can be taken individually or for the full, three-day series.
