Listen "Exploring Jack Boul’s Legacy in a New Blowing Rock Exhibition"

Episode Synopsis

Artist Jack Boul loved to paint the world around him: people sitting on benches, urban streetscapes, cows in a pasture, and the mountain scenery of western North Carolina. Boul's work is included in collections at the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian, and the Library of Congress as well as other private and public collections. And now there’s an exhibition of his art at the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum that highlights his special connection to the Blowing Rock/Boone area. It’s called “Jack Boul: Land, City, Home.” On this Piedmont Arts podcast, hear a conversation with Jack Boul’s son David who helped organize the exhibition to help ensure his father’s legacy.
