Painters of Cape Ann: One Hundred Years in Gloucester and Rockport
Description:
The Cape Ann region of Massachusetts has been a gathering place for artists since the mid-nineteenth century. Drawn to its dynamic contrasts of land and sea, its brilliant, glowing light, and its summer art community, artists found inspiration in the area, which they expressed in works rendered in a wide variety of stylistic approaches. This 16-page catalogue includes twenty-six color plates and three essays (by Karen Quinn and Lisa N. Peters) chronicling the different phases of artist activity on the cape. The artists whose works are discussed and illustrated include Fitz Hugh Lane, Winslow Homer, William Morris Hunt, Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman, Frank Duveneck, Edward Henry Potthast, Edward Hopper, John Sloan, Maurice Prendergast, Marsden Hartley, and Stuart Davis.
