Artful Conversations: Conversations between Regionalism and Modernism
Docent Tobi Klein explores the meeting of American Modernism and Regionalism on Cape Ann, using a 1916 Stuart Davis sketch, Sketch–Church Tower, and Gifford Beal’s Sword Fisherman (1930) to look at how artists answered the upheaval after World War I and why many painters turned to detailed scenes of rural life during the Depression. Klein, a mixed-media artist in Rockport, taught painting and drawing at Rochester Institute of Technology.
