‘Visionary Boston’

“Through a Glass Slightly” (1979), by the late Stephen Trefonides, in the show “Visionary Boston”, at the Danforth Art Museum, Framingham, Mass., Feb. 18-June 4.

The museum says:

“In the mid-twentieth century, one would not have described Boston as the center of the art world.    However, despite a decades long struggle with modernism and with Abstract Expressionism gaining ground in New York, a parallel but distinct movement was stirring in New England.  The relationships that flourished between painters, sculptors and photographers mid-century resulted in creative output that has shaped contemporary art in Boston into the twenty-first century.”
