A unique collection of forty-two outings of
artistic discovery along the northeast corridor, this book is for
anyone with a curiosity for exploring unusual places of artistic
interest. It is both an inspiring armchair read and a practical
take-along guide.
|
Each outing has a sense of place, whether as a site for art or an
artist, and includes studios, foundries, and workshops, historic
artist's colonies, eccentric outdoor monuments, artistic gardens, and
landscapes that inspired renowned artists. Driving directions,
activities, and nearby attractions are also provided.
|
Whether following the footsteps of the Hudson River
school artists to the magnificent views they painted, touring a vast
foundry to observe sculpture-casting first hand, or cavorting with a
giraffe, a camel, a swan, and even a unicorn, all made of greenery,
readers will gain a true sense of the artist’s space and
individual vision. In their search for sites of artistic history or
visual appeal, the authors have omitted the more popular tourist spots..
