Come for a presentation about American Impressionist, Edward Potthast (1857-1927), and his painting, Portrait of a Fisherman. Potthast was a prominent figure in American Art, exhibiting at the National Academy of Design and the Paris Salon whose paintings are characterized by their use of light and color.
Join us Thursdays for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson Center, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience.
