  • Compass Folk Art In Four Directions
    June 5, 2012

    Since Dutch explorers arrived in New York City by sea in the early Seventeenth Century, the city has retained its essentially maritime character. Rollicking, robust and rowdy, it has evolved over the centuries, but no amount of construction can obviate its nature: it remains an island, surrounded by water. In the Seventeenth Century and first half of the Eighteenth Century, the melody of fluttering sails and halyards snapping against tall masts harmonized with the screech of gulls and the shouts of merchants and seamen along the East River in lower Manhattan. The new exhibition ⁃ompass: Folk Art in Four Directions†is a wide ranging look at art objects made by artists inspired by the sea or who derived their livelihood from it, as well as objects with more distant connections to the seaport of New York. Organized by the American Folk Art Museum and drawn from the museum⁳ collections, it is on view in four galleries at Schermerhorn Row in the South Street Seaport through October 7.
