Museum shrouds immigrant artworks in protest display
In Wellesley Massachusetts the Davis Museum has removed or covered about 120 works by immigrant artists or from foreign born collectors. Director Lisa Fischman says the Art-Less project erases the cultural wealth provided by immigrants. A placard stands near the shroud covered painting Friends in a Storm Approaching 1875 1876 by James McDougal Hart.
