SUMMARY:EXHIBIT: Cabot Lyford Winds of Change
DESCRIPTION:The Portsmouth Historical Society presents "Winds of Change\," a retrospective of the work of Cabot Lyford (1925 2016). Lyford's experimental approach to different materials and his advocacy of environmental and political issues through his art will resonate with viewers as much now as it did in the 20th century.\n\nCreativity & Experimentation\n\nWhile best known for his works in granite\, Lyford explored such varied media as watercolor and gouache\, slate\, wood\, aluminum\, bronze\, acrylic\, and laminated and fiber glass and plywood\, as well as varying his style from abstract to realist to surrealist. Our programs and workshops will encourage all to embrace the unexpected and turn "mistakes" into new avenues of creativity.\n\nAdvocacy Through Art\n\nLyford dared to confront complex and difficult issues with his sculpture and always tried to advocate as well as create. Art impacts the way we view complex issues like war and ecology. This exhibition will illustrate the profound impact that public art can have on a community\, a region\, and a country.\n\nCollaboration with New Hampshire Art Association\n\nVisit the upstairs gallery to view "Contemporary Currents" in collaboration with NHAA and artists across New Hampshire.
