The Adirondacks and American Art

Description

The Frederic Remington Art Museum continues its annual Art Highlights and Tea lecture series with a presentation by Caroline Downing entitled, “The Adirondacks and American Art.” The lecture will take place at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, February 14th at the Frederic Remington Art Museum. The talk is free and open to the public, and will be presented in the Museum’s ​Tiffany Room.

Many artists have been inspired by the Adirondack region of New York State, including Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe, Frederic Remington, and numerous contemporary artists. Downing will look at the work of a number of these artists, studying their individual responses to the landscape, and noting, in many cases, their strong concern for protecting the distinctive environment of what is known today as the Adirondack Park.

Immediately following the lecture, at 3:00 pm, a delicious tea will be served in the Museum’s parlors, courtesy of​ Ann Spies, Fran Naccarato, and friends. The cost is $10 for Remington Museum members and $15 for non-members. Please call (315) 393-2425, email desmond@fredericremington.org, or reserve seats at the tea online at fredericremington.org.
