North Shore Arts Association in Gloucester will present a Tea and Lecture entitled, “Frank Duveneck and His Boys” by Jim McAllister on Sunday, June 8th. The event is free, open to the public, and will be from 2:00pm – 4:00pm.
In his lifetime, the Cincinnati-based artist Frank Duveneck was a teacher of international renown, a painter of the highest rank, and a mentor to many other artists who cam under his sphere of influence. Duveneck was also a long-time summer resident of Cape Ann and left behind a delightful visual record of the Gloucester he grew to knew and love.
Jim McAllister is a Salem historian, photographer, author, teacher and tour guide. Jim has taught more than fifty courses through the international Elderhostel programs, including the “American Light: Art and Artists on Boston and the North Shore” and “The Golden Years: Painters and Writers in Paris from 1880-1930.” He has also lectured extensively on these themes around the North Shore.
In this illustrated lecture, Jim will chronicle the triumphs and tragedies of Duveneck’s life, and examine his work and impact on the late 19th and early 20th century American art world.
A former art event organizer, long time member of the Salem Cultural Arts Commission, and avid art collector, Jim is also an accomplished photographer and writer. His photographs have appeared in dozens of publications throughout America and Europe. He writes a weekly local history column in the Salem News.
