Hawthorne Summer Reading

Summer Reading 3 Dear Reader W hen creating this catalogue, we hoped to embody Emerson’s words that so beautifully convey a deep reverence for the unity of the arts and for all forms of beauty. By pairing our recent acquisitions with iconic passages fromAmerican literature, it is ourwish to reflect the extraordinary times and places that inspired these works and to transport you back to the moment of their formation. We purposely made this volume of travel size so that it may accompany you wherever you may go. It can rest by your side or in your hand as you witness and encounter the varying tones and textures of the present. In this way, we wish to create an intimate connection between the artworks and you, one in which you sense their fascinating past and where they can serve as companion in your present. I hope that you enjoy this juxtaposition of word and image and welcome your response to the beautiful paintings offered herein. Sincerely, J enn i f e r C .
