Product Overview
This is a story of a man and a woman with vastly different backgrounds who overcame obstacles and created art and living experience. Leslie Snow was a dancer, painter, and poet; Louis Fron was a goldsmith, jeweler, and sculptor. A Voyage Remembered chronicles the fascinating lives of these two distinguished artists, their international journeys, their connections with famed artists, individuals, and patrons, and their thirty-six years of marriage. Louis and Leslie believed the mind and feeling must be united to be free, and to be free is the greatest quality that exists.
Art historians, art enthusiasts, and readers with an interest in the history of twentieth-century France, Costa Rica, and New York City will enjoy reading about and the notable persons and places described and will revel in the gorgeous and award-winning works of Fron that are depicted and found in the collections of the Currier Museum of Art, the Portland Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
[Fron] is a true professional at an exacting craft and a robust enthusiast for ithe regards his work in a sense as a natural human activity, like eating or sleeping
David S. Brooke, former director of the Currier Museum of Art, from the 1977 Louis Fron exhibition catalog
