American Revolutionaries is a series of gallery talks given by members of the curatorial team in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States. Each talk highlights artworks from the Burrows Gallery of American Decorative Arts, including silver from the Henry Morris and Elizabeth H. Burrows collection, which came to the Clark from an anonymous loan to celebrate the Bicentennial of the United States in 1976.
Alexis Goodin, curator of decorative arts, kicks off the series with a discussion of silver crafted by Paul Revere, Jr. and his father, from whom he learned the trade. Explore Revere’s prominent role in the American Revolution.
