The Greenwich Historical Society will celebrate the work of local artists Maria C. Friscia, Perry Robinson, MD and Margaret Esmé Simon in a Community Artists exhibition entitled Inheriting the Impressionist Tradition. With still life paintings and landscapes rendered in colorful painterly strokes, the work represents a modern reflection on the American Impressionism that evolved at the Cos Cob art colony early in the last century. Notes show organizer Carol Dixon, “The artists have put together a show that is in sync with both the season and the artistic legacy of Bush-Holley Historic Site.” The exhibition will run from June 5 through July 31, 2013, with an opening reception on June 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

The Community Artists series was established to support and encourage contemporary local artists by offering a welcoming venue for the exhibition of their work in a unique and historic setting.
All works on display will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds going to the Greenwich Historical Society.
