SynopsisThis exhibition and accompanying catalogue focus on Provincetown's legacy as an art colony, during the period from Charles W. Hawthorne's founding of the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899 to the present day. Covering more than 100 artists, this is the largest and most comprehensive survey of the art colony completed in over forty years. The catalogue is divided into nine sections that focus on various events in the art colony, such as Hans Hofmann and Forum 49, the establishment of the Tirca Karlis Gallery, and the founding of the Fine Arts Work Center. Essays by leading Provincetown scholars highlight the narrative of Provincetown's importance in America's art history. While many artists worked or lived in Provincetown for years, others "passed through" the art colony. As this catalogue shows, Provincetown's influence extended to many of the great artists of the twentieth century, including Avery, Baziotes, de Kooning, Demuth, Motherwell, Pollock, Rothko, and Warhol.
