Coming soon, "Wharton Esherick: I am Known as an Artist" a short film by Carolyn Coal explores the life, work, and art of Wharton Esherick (1887-1970), a sculptor who worked primarily in wood, readily extending his unique forms to furniture, furnishings, utensils, interiors, buildings and more. His motto, “if it's not fun, it's not worth doing,” is evident in the joyful expression of his work, inviting the eye and the hand. A National Historic Landmark for Architecture, his hilltop studio/residence, with more than 300 of his works on exhibition, has been preserved much as it was when the artist lived and worked there. The Museum is open to the public through guided tours for which reservations are required. For more information or to support the Wharton Esherick Museum, visit www.whartonesherickmuseum.org
