Description
Opening: Friday, December 10, 2016 from 6 - 8 pm Talk at 6:30pm ''The Woman Dressed in White - Feminine Images Held in Rock'' Exhibit runs through February 12, 2017 For nearly 20 years Leslie Bartlett has been visiting Flat Ledge Qaurry in Rockport, drawing from it artistic expression and renewal. Saturday, December 10, 2016, he'll give a talk accompanying an exhibit of his recent work, titled ''PERSEPHONE: the unspeakable girl,'' large-format photographs of the quarry. The talk presents the early women artists and intellectuals who first happened upon the world of quarrying — their reactions and art. Bartlett will relate the current exhibition to the feminine spirit which has held the quarry and the bedrock of Cape Ann in ''austere tenderness.''
