Hawthornes founding of the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899 to the present day. Covering more than 100 artists  this is the largest and most comprehensive survey of the art colony completed in over forty years. The catalogue is divided into nine sections that focus on various events in the art colony  such as Hans Hofmann and Forum 49  the establishment of the Tirca Karlis Gallery  and the founding of the Fine Arts Work Center. Essays by leading Provincetown scholars highlight the narrative of Provincetowns importance in Americas art history. While many artists worked or lived in Provincetown for years  others \"passed through\" the art colony. As this catalogue shows  Provincetowns influence extended to many of the great artists of the twentieth century  including Avery  Baziotes  de Kooning  Demuth  Motherwell  Pollock  Rothko  and Warhol.
