Granite State Gallery – September 2024

Granite State Gallery: New Hampshire Art and Artists through the Years

Presenter: Jane Oneail

New Hampshire has attracted and inspired artists since the colonial era. What is distinctive about the art made here? This program will consider works by itinerant and
folk painters, landscape artists drawn to the state’s scenic vistas, and modern artists
that adopted old styles to depict everyday life in the Granite State. Augustus Saint­
Gaudens, Chllde Hassam, and Maxfield Parrish are some of the artists discussed in this program.
