Works on Paper Highlights Talk: America's Grand Tour

Manton Study Center for Works on Paper

In response to Europe’s Grand Tour, nineteenth-century American writers, artists, and poets embarked on their own coming-of-age trek through New England’s natural wonders and pastoral landscapes. Join Hannah Chew, graduate intern for works on paper, for a showcase of American prints and drawings that follows this “Northern Tour” through the Berkshires, Niagara Falls, and more!
This event is part of a series of Works on Paper Highlights Talks in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, which houses the Clark's collection of more than 6,500 prints, drawings, and photographs. Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays in the end of July and through August from 1–1:30 pm.
Free. Capacity is limited. Seating is first-come, first-served.
The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper is located next to the Berenice Abbott’s Modern Lens exhibition in the Manton Research Center.
