Book

The Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency in Saugatuck, Michigan is remotely located on 115 acres of woodlands and sand dunes within view of the shores of Lake Michigan. The Ox-Bow Art School has operated continuously since 1910 with an affiliation to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The campus is composed of 40 buildings and structures from 1873 to 2009. Ox-Bow’s historic legacy is portrayed through the buildings, the artists, the art, and the natural environment from the past to the present. Author and artist Judy Bowman Anthrop reveals her muse, the Ox-Bow School of Art, through her 78 watercolor portraits of the built environment and the natural landscape. Also included are: • 82 original art images from regional artists created for this book • 25 paintings from Ox-Bow’s founders and legendary teachers • 97 contemporary photographs by four professional art photographers • 78 historical photos • 60 images of memorabilia such as postcards and maps.
