Community of Creativity: A Century of Macdowell Colony Artists

A VERY GOOD, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy. PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in black-and-white photography and 52 full-color plates of artworks, all with accompanying descriptive captions. Book published in conjunction with the 1996-97 exhibition of the same name exhibited at the Currier Gallery of Art, Manchester, NH and the Wichita Art Museum, Wichita, KS. *Original issue pamphlet entitled 'The MacDowell Colony' laid-in. From the Preface: This catalogue and the exhibition it accompanies celebrate one of the great resources of New Hampshire, the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough. Though MacDowell is the oldest and largest artists' retreat in America, it is not well known to the public at large precisely because it strives to offer a protected nurturing environment away from the workaday world, where artists can concentrate on creative endeavors. The Currier Gallery of Art is proud to be part of a statewide collaboration of more than fifty cultural organizations and a distinguished group of companies, foundations, state agencies, and individuals who have joined together to celebrate the centennial of the beginnings of the MacDowell Colony. As a result, a rich array of exhibitions, concerts, readings, and performances-all celebrating the work of MacDowell fellows-are being presented in 1996 in virtually every corner of New Hampshire." 104 pages.
