Perspectives On The Provincetown Artist

Provincetown, a microcosm of American art of the last century, is a community of artists who played vital roles in American art movements. In two rich volumes, Deborah Forman traces the history of these artists from 1899, when Charles Hawthorne opened his Cape Cod School of Art, through the struggles among the traditionalists, impressionists, and modernists. Exploring the camaraderie and influences within the artist colony, she continues the story into the present.
