Join us for a presentation about artist Nell Blaine (1922-1996), who worked out of a studio on Rocky Neck in the 1940s and 1950s. Wharf Studio, Gloucester reflects one such visit in 1958. Blaine was educated in representational, realist, and abstract methods of painting, and was heavily influenced by the instruction of Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann (1880-1966).
You are invited to join us on Thursdays for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson Education Center, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience.
