American Masterpieces: Singular Expressions of American Genius
John Wilmerding, art historian, collector, curator, and professor emeritus at Princeton University, has been an original and sustained scholarly voice in American art history for six decades. Wilmerding presents a detailed visual analysis of major American cultural artifacts with insights not only into the art and its creator, but also into the national context at the time of its execution.
The annual Champlain Institute hosts thought leaders from around the country and the world to share their expertise on pressing issues of our time. The 2019 topic was Art: Dissent and Diplomacy. All events are held on College of the Atlantic’s waterfront campus and are free and open to the public. To learn more, visit coa.edu.
