Plainfield Historical Society program: Roger Ballou speaking about Cornish Colony artist Willard Metcalf

Sunday October 26th at 3PM. 

The Plainfield Historical Society program will be Roger Ballou speaking about Cornish Colony artist Willard Metcalf. Following his numerous visits to Plainfield and Cornish between 1909-1920, many during winter, the artist Willard Metcalf was deemed by his colleagues “The Painter Laureate of the Cornish Hills.”  Roger Ballou, Docent at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester who has studied Willard Metcalf’s career extensively, will offer a program covering Metcalf’s artistic work in and around Plainfield and Cornish. Of particular interest on October 26 are photos of present day Plainfield and Cornish locations where Metcalf created some of his most famous paintings.

 

All are welcome!
