| Images of a New England Seacoast, 1900 - 1950 displays the legacy of painters and printmakers who lived or summered on Cape Ann. Some were graduates of Boston's renowned School at the Museum of Fine Arts, trained by 19th Century luminaries of the Boston School of Art like Edward Tarbell, William Paxton, William Morris Hunt, while others came from Ohio, Missouri and Illinois. Some came to visit, some to live. While American Impressionism flourished on Cape Ann, artists created a camaraderie in which both the traditional and modern painter could prosper. In turn, the centuries-old slystem of workshop and atelier survived. To this day, many artists teach in their studios and out-of-doors for there is no "lonely garret" syndrome on the island. Artists are a vital part of the fabric of life and commerce in Gloucester and Rockport, and they have proven to be invaluable historians. They tell and have told the story of their own times and the stories of New England for more than a hundred years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
