Bruce Museum

Editorial: A Monument to Mind and Civic Will: The Bruce Museum is not remarkable because it is in Greenwich. It is remarkable because it reflects what Greenwich, at its best, values: knowledge, community, and the quiet discipline of civic generosity. The institution does not draw attention to itself with extravagance or spectacle. Instead, it rewards attention with clarity, coherence, and purpose. Its history is one of local intent. Robert Moffat Bruce, who donated the original building and land in 1908, did not create a museum for prestige but for public benefit. In the century since, that founding impulse has not been diluted. It has been refined. What began as a small museum of natural history has grown—through decades of careful stewardship—into a regional cornerstone of art and science. The 2023 expansion, which tripled its exhibition space, was not a display of affluence. It was a demonstration of shared commitment. #BruceMuseum #museum #community #GreenwichCT Read more... https://lnkd.in/edF4bN2r

Blanche Lazzell Becoming An American Modernist, By Andrea Valluzzo, Antiques and The Arts Weekly — January 31, 2025 Blanche Lazzell is well known in her native West Virginia as well as on and around Cape Cod, where she made art for more than 40 years, but elsewhere her contributions to Modernism have been largely unrecognized. If one is pressed to name an American modernist, chances are what first comes to mind are artists like Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Arthur Dove, Charles Demuth and Stuart Davis, but not Lazzell. A new exhibition aims to change that. Opening at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, CT on February 6, 2025—April 27, 2025. #BlanchLazzell #womenartists #AmericanModernist #artexhibition #museum Antiques and The Arts Weekly https://lnkd.in/edGWqyyW
