We open June 20^th with an exciting discovery of Morris’ artwork displayed in the Studio. It is a work on paper commissioned by General Electric in 1940 in an innovative ad campaign using well-known contemporary artists to promote the company’s new line of refrigerators.  Additionally, the Studio exhibits a view of George & Suzy’s individual paths to artistic expression and how their collection of Cubist masters instructed their art.  Audio clips of George’s voice as he recounts his life’s journey are available thanks to a digitized 1968 oral interview from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art.

Director and nephew Kinney Frelinghuysen will highlight paintings on view and from the Collection in Director’s Corner, a short conversation held Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:15am. Exercise Your Creativity  every Sunday from 11 to 1 pm. It will be a chance to relax and create art with no rules and no judgement.
