Lecture: Bob Frishman presents, "The Clock in the Painting"
Tuesday, June 18. 5:30 to 7pm.
Martha's Vineyard Museum Library.
Bob Frishman, owner of Bell-Time Clocks, has been collecting fine art images containing clocks for many years. From Van Gogh to Dali, Titian, Homer, Magritte, Hopper and Rockwell, these artworks often are familiar to art lovers but have not often been joined together in this way. Images from more than five centuries will be projected and described in an educational and entertaining combination of art and clock histories.
