Hawthorne, Hensche, and The Art School That Launched the Art Colony: with Rob Longley
In this episode of the Art Colony podcast, we talk about the art school that started it all, the one that put the Provincetown Art Colony on the map. Host Gaston Lacombe welcomes Rob Longley, artist, instructor, and board member of the Cape School of Art. Together they discuss the history and impact of the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, founded by Charles Hawthorne in 1899, and its successor, the Cape School of Art, headed by Henry Hensche. Rob Longley shares his Provincetown story, starting in 1971, when he began working under the tutelage of Henry Hensche, the legendary art instructor and former assistant to Hawthorne. Longley reflects on the evolution of the oldest art school in Provincetown, the distinction between the Cape Cod School of Art and the Cape School of Art, and the artistic legacy of Henry Hensche, particularly his unique focus on light and color. The conversation also introduces some of the characters who punctuated the school's history, its evolution and re-invention over the last century, and the school's future plans. This episode is an in-depth look at Provincetown's vibrant art community and the ongoing efforts to preserve the artistic techniques and heritage of Hawthorne and Hensche.
