GLOUCESTER, Mass. —
“A new exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum is giving visitors a rare look at the friendship that helped shape three of America’s most influential modern artists.
“Avery, Gottlieb, and Rothko: By the Sea” explores the personal and artistic relationship between Milton Avery, Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko during their summers on Cape Ann.
Museum officials say the exhibition tells a story that has rarely been explored publicly, focusing on how the artists inspired, challenged and influenced one another as their careers evolved.
The exhibit features paintings, drawings and works that have never before been publicly displayed, offering visitors new insight into the creative process behind three iconic names in American art.
Curators say Cape Ann’s coastal landscapes became both a gathering place and a source of inspiration, helping shape artistic ideas that would later influence modern American painting. The exhibition highlights not only the artists’ individual accomplishments but also the lasting impact of mentorship, collaboration and friendship.”
