This lenticular image of the house at 187 Long Lots Road by Westport artist Miggs Burroughs shows the oldest house in Westport (c.1683-87) as it looked in the 1930s and as it looks today. In the 1930s, 131 historical Westport homes were selected by the Westport Arts Committee to be photographed as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).  Each of these houses was over 100 years old when photographed, and was considered to be historically significant. Some of the images will be on display Nov. 8 in the Westport Historical Society exhibit “Window to Westport’s Past and Present, WPA Images of Historic Houses. Owners of homes photographed by the WPA in the 1930s can contact Bob Weingarten, exhibit curator, at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to order a lenticular of their home.

Former New Yorker art editor Lee Lorenz (2nd r) was in conversation tonight at the Westport Library with Andrew Bentley and Eve Potts, co-authors of “The New Yorker in Westport.” The book features 50 Westport-related New Yorker covers, some of which are currently on display at the Westport Historical Society (WHS) “Talk of the Town” exhibit. On the screen is a book of a collection of New Yorker covers belonging to Potts with page markers she made indicating a Westport-related cover. She found 767 covers produced by 17 New Yorker artists living in and around Westport from 1925 to 1989, which led to a highly successful January 2014 WHS exhibit entitled “Cover Story: The New Yorker in Westport.“ “The New Yorker in Westport” is an outgrowth of that exhibit. Lorenz was the art editor of The New Yorker from 1973 to 1993 and the magazine’s cartoon editor from 1993 to 1997.  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo

Westport photographer Árpád Krizsán helps out today in installation of an exhibit of his photos, “Athens – Tale of a Bailout,” in the Great Hall of the Westport Library, which opened today. Krizsán traveled to Athens in January as Greece tried to cope with its ever-worsening, never-ending economic crisis. His photographic glimpse of everyday life in the Athens was shot entirely in downtown Athens in a narrow area between the Acropolis and Syntagma Square, which houses the Greek Parliament. An opening reception will be held on Friday, Oct. 9, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The exhibit runs through Jan. 6. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Helen Klisser During for WestportNow.com
