The East End of Long Island is a matchless region that has attracted numerous diversely talented artists, writers, directors, musicians, and actors throughout the years. These individuals have sought inspiration and stimulation from the natural beauty of the landscape, the magnificent light and the endless beaches that enhanced this area. The theater, art gallery and meeting place known as Guild Hall, provided East Hampton with a cultural hub and superior assortment of art.
Fo
r over a century, Guild Hall was a meeting place for:
• various artists including Guy Pene du Bois and George Bellows who visited this area
• the artists known as Surrealists, who were welcomed and accepted guests, after WWII
• Abstract Expressionist artists Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Willem de Kooning
• Pop artists Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and James Rosenquist
• Photo Realists Audrey Flack and Chuck Close; as well as many more contemporary artists
Still today, artists continue to make the East End of the United States the country’s leading art colony.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"But the caliber of artwork comprising Guild Hall rarely travels — usually if you want to see a Pollock, you do the traveling. So this show gives Pueblo the chance to host what the bigger cities missed, something that before now, had yet to make its way out west.
—Edie Adelstein, CS Indy
