Series: The Clark

Clark-Getty Paper Project Curatorial Fellow Sarah Grandin presents an overview of Promenades on Paper: Eighteenth-Century Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Grandin shares the rich history of the national library of France’s collections, and how that shaped the selection of works included in the Clark’s exhibition. The drawings on view reveal the medium’s new status as an autonomous and democratic instrument of creation and documentation in France in the eighteenth century.

When James Fenimore Cooper wrote “Last of the Mohicans” he created a narrative that has lasted centuries. But it was a false narrative. The Mohican Nation is alive and well today with a rich history that spans before colonization – the land that today we call Williamstown is part of their ancestral homelands. Join Heather Bruegl, Director of Education at Forge Project, to learn about who the Stockbridge-Munsee Community is and how they are not the Last of the Mohicans.
