Kelly’s Corner 197 – Art Colony’s 100th Aniversary

“The presence of Charles Hawthorne and the establishment of the Cape Cod School of Art punctuate local, national and international history as a beginning, a turning point and a still flourishing study of art. Henry Hensche continued to head the Cape Cod School of Art as one of Hawthorne's "soldiers" as he would tell us. Hawthorne painted many fishermen, blacksmiths, plumbers men, women, children-all gone now but living on canvas and in their descendants. All but one, that is. Frannie Fields, belovedly known to all as Aunt Frannie will be 92 this September 13th.”
