Photographer Writing Book On Weir Farm — Connecticut’s First National Park
WILTON, Conn. — The first book about Weir Farm National Historic Site, Connecticut’s first national park unit and the only one dedicated to American painting, will be authored by Xiomaro, a visiting artist at the park.
About 150 of Xiomaro’s photographs will be accompanied with captions that, he said, “tell the big story of a small park.”
The 60-acre national historic site, nestled in Wilton and Ridgefield, is where J. Alden Weir (1852-1919), the father of American Impressionist painting, lived and created iconic works now seen at the Met, the Smithsonian and other world-class museums.
