Milne Public Library Showcases the Travelscapes by Macalister Brown - June 02, 2008
The David Joyce & Milne Public Library will host an exhibition of drawings and paintings by the late Professor of Political Science at Williams College “Mac” Brown for the month of June.
This exhibit was put together by his wife Adrianna Brown, who tells, “In the 1970’s Mac took a first and last art lesson at Silver Bay, Lake George. From then on whenever we went on a brief camping trip or a long sabbatical, I urged him to take along his watercolor equipment. Of course came along his hiking boots, tennis racquet, golf clubs, and political science materials. During our 40 years together we trotted over continents and were at our best traveling, camping, sightseeing and leaving the burdens of teaching behind. Museums were one of our favorites and Mac looked at the treasures and was enamored with painting”.
These travelscapes reflected trips to Netherlands, France, and Italy. Mac studied in Geneva, Switzerland and worked for the Displaced Person’s Agency in Munich before he returned to Harvard to complete his PhD in 1951.
At a writing around the age of nine Mac believed,
“But wherever I go the happiest time will be
When my own dear home once again I see”.
The works can be seen in the Main Hall of the Library. Library hours are Mon.- Fri. 10:00 – 5:30, Wed. 10:00-8:00, and Saturday 10:00-4:00. |
