Wandering Eye: The View of Bennington Jamie Franklin
This week’s installment of the
Eye is guest-edited by our friend, Bennington Museum curator Jamie Franklin. The Green Mountains of Vermont are home to far more than craft breweries, brilliant blankets of color in autumn, and the finest skiing on the East Coast. Vermont is rich in history and artistic culture. Allow Mr. Franklin to guide you through some of the exhibitions and permanent works in the collection of the Bennington Museum, where he has been in his post since 2005. His passion for American art has led him to present shows dedicated to Rockwell Kent, Grandma Moses, Milton Avery, Alice Neel, and many others. For a little more background on Jamie, check out this “tour” of his tremendous collection of self taught art. Enjoy!
