Description

On May 13 we will discuss the art and life of Norwegian-born artist Lars Thorsen (1876-1952), featured in Lars Thorsen: From Norway to Noank. Thorsen worked as a mess-boy, sailmaker, rigger, rounded Cape Horn five times by the age of 20, and raced in the America’s Cup before settling with his family in Noank and becoming a member of the Mystic Art Association. Self-taught, his artwork tells the story of an identity forged in motion.
