Down the Road:
Wellfleet Printmakers from the 20th Century is on view at the Provincetown Art
Association and Museum, Provincetown, MA, through TODAY, May 21, 2017. It’s a
wide reaching show with nearly every Cape Cod drypoint or lithograph by PEGGY
BACON along with extensively annotated printer’s proofs, early states, and
related drawings. There are also exceptional examples of work by Clare Leighton,
including many of the actual woodblocks for her 1954 book, Where Land Meets Sea
– The Enduring Cape Cod, as well as works by Alexander Brook, Stow Wengenroth,
and others.

Thomas R.
Broker and Arthur N. Gilbert are the curators of the exhibition. They both have
a deep knowledge of the material and appreciation for the contributions made by
the artists.
A list on the
STG site also features Truro artists JUDITH SHAHN and her father BEN SHAHN,
Provincetown artists MARY SINCLAIR, BETTY WALDO PARISH, and sister and brother
DOROTHY GREGORY and JOHN GREGORY. Cape Cod subjects are used for many, but
especially for artists who may have been more casual visitors such as PETER
GRIPPE and HUGH MESIBOV. HOWARD DAUM and BEULAH STEVENSON were probably
visiting Hans Hofmann.
