ART CLASSES
IN MAINE CITY. Eastport's Natural Beauty Makes It Choice of Grand
Central School. In addition to a Summer session in this city, the Grand Central
School of Art will open Summer classes on July 2 at Eastport, Me., to be
conducted by George Pearse Ennis, a former pupil of William M. Chase. Eastport
has been selected for the Summer school because of its unspoiled landmarks,
according to Edmund Graecen, President of the school, who calls the Maine resort
the "Brittany of America." "Brittany has nothing to offer more interesting than
the figures of the lobstermen and the boats and fishers of the sardine fleet,"
Mr. Graecen declared. "There is nothing in the Old World more fascinating than
the town itself, with its rambling streets, its old homes, its quaint shacks and
the drama of its waterfront."
From the New York Times, July 1, 1928, Section III, p.2,c.6
