300 images and descriptions show highlights of the Cape Cod Museum of Art’s 2,000-piece collection,

The Cape Cod Museum of Art’s 2,000-piece collection of the works of more than 500 artists tells a fascinating story. This book highlights over 120 of those artists and their works, which are included in this fine collection that has been built over three decades.

Artists have had a rich tradition on Cape Cod, including the long-standing art colony in Provincetown that has drawn thousands of artists to this grand land.The museum celebrates over 35 years of these artists who have created pristine realism, impressionistic landscapes, insightful portraits, luminous still lifes, modernist paintings and sculptures, abstract adventures, and dramatic photographs, drawings, and prints. Along with the images, biographies of the artists, who represent the major art movements of the last 150 years, give insight into their remarkable talents and accomplishments, and a perspective on the creative culture on Cape Cod.[AuthorName]By Edith A.
