Tuesday, December 33:00—4:00 PMZoomRockport Public Library17 School Street, Rockport, MA, 01966
Embracing the rhythms of winter is key to creating eco-conscious holiday traditions. Rather than getting carried away by the holiday rush, use this time as an opportunity to create the kind of holiday season you truly want - one Join curator Debra Bricker Balken on Zoom for an exploration of Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946–1962, on view at the Addison Gallery of American Art through January 5, 2025.
The exhibition delves into the various circles of American artists who made France their home during the post-World War II era, and investigates the academies where many studied, the spaces where their work was exhibited, their interactions with European artists, and the overarching issue of what it meant to be an American abroad.
