Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is pleased to present an exhibition of artwork by Kenneth Stubbs October 7-November 27, 2011 with a free opening reception on Friday, October 7 from 7-9pm.
From the early 1930s to his death in 1967, Kenneth Stubbs was immersed in the Provincetown arts community, having studied with E. Ambrose Webster in 1931 and in 1934. He showed regularly at the Provincetown Art Association and was a member of the Beachcomber’s Club from 1938-1967. Additionally, he has had 15 one-man shows in the Washington, DC and Cape Cod areas.
In a letter to The Washington Star art critic Florence Berryman in January 1955, Stubbs wrote: “Some people ask what my objective is in painting. I prefer to think I have a position and a direction, rather than an objective…I feel that the structure of my painting is based on tradition–while the content is based on ideas. Where these two things–tradition and idea–meet in the form of my painting, they become real.”
Provincetown Art Association and Museum was established in 1914 by a group of artists and townspeople to build a permanent collection of works by artists of outer Cape Cod, and to exhibit art that would allow for unification within the community. Through a comprehensive schedule of exhibitions of local and national significance and educational outreach, Provincetown Art Association and Museum provides the public access to art, artists, and the creative process.
PAAM is open (October – May) noon to 5pm, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, also open by appointment | General admission $7. Free to members and children 12 and under. For more information, please call 508.487.1750 or visit www.paam.org.
