Cape Cod, En Plein Air
Connecticut artist, author and educator Charles Sovek takes viewers to his summer home and studio on Cape Cod. Sovek shares his life as an artist and the perspective 50 years of experience brings to painting en plein air. Viewers will discover the rich history of the Provincetown artists' colony – from the founding by Charles Hawthorne in the late 1800s, to the arrival of the abstract expressionists Hans Hoffman and Jackson Pollack in the 1950s. Commentary and examples are provided by Chris McCarthy, director of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and James Bakker, author, collector and art expert. Peggy Sovek, the artist's wife, shares her family's history and relationship to Charles Hawthorne at the Sovek's "Red House." And Charles demonstrates art in the making with a short painting demonstration on the docks of the Provincetown boat harbor. Charles' enthusiasm and energy bear witness to his wide popularity as an artist and instructor.
