“Poskas: Father and Son” Virtual Tour and Discussion with the Mattatuck Museum
October 17 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeJoin the Mattatuck Museum for a virtual tour and discussion of their exciting new exhibition: “Poskas: Father and Son”, which brings together the artwork of Waterbury natives Peter Poskas II and his son Peter Poskas III. Poskas II is known for painting realist views of Connecticut cities and landscapes, exploring conditions of weather and light on his subjects. Dedicated to realist still lifes before a life-altering accident, Poskas III has recently turned his attention to impressionistic views of the land, animals, and buildings surrounding his Washington, CT farm. A wide-ranging retrospective of late-career Poskas II, and mid-career Poskas III, this exhibition not only speaks to the body of work of both artists, but also tracks how their relationship has changed, grown, and deepened over time through the lens of their artwork.
This program is virtual and takes place over Zoom. Registration is required. RSVP below. A link to the Zoom room will be sent out to registrants prior to the program. Cut-off for registration is Wednesday, Oct. 16th at noon.
