Hawthorne Voorhees Catalog

6 Clark Greenwood Voorhees’ fine coloration and lively brushwork infused every prospect he painted— whether in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Bermuda, or elsewhere—with beauty and energy. I hope that those who visit this exhibition will come away with a renewed appreciation both for Voorhees’ oeuvre in particular and for American Impressionism in general. Acknowledgments With great appreciation, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of those responsible for making this exhi- bition possible. First and foremost, the artist’s descendants have beenmost cooperative and helpful. They have kept alive Voorhees’ legacy with great care and thoughtfulness. It is with the same consideration for Voorhees’ unique talents that Marshall Price wrote his graceful and informative essay printed herein. Professor William H. Gerdts was very kind and generous to share his comprehensive archives to aid our research. As you will see in the presentation of the works on display, our conservators at Chelsea Restoration and framer Mark Davis did an outstanding job. This catalogue would not have been possible without the hard work of our designer, Rita Lascaro; photographer, Glenn Castellano; printer, Deborah Roy of Colonial Printing; and copy editor, Suzanne Noguere. I cannot help but recognize the tremendous efforts of our staff. With steadfast focus, piercing intel- ligence, and more than a bit of Southern grace, Ashley Gallman, Assistant Director, has been instrumen- tal in contributing to all aspects of this exhibition and more fundamentally our gallery’s overall growth and development. Olivia Good, our researcher, has also been very industrious and extremely resourceful, not to mention a lovely, calm presence in the gallery. Our clients, family, and friends have been excep- tionally supportive. I would like to dedicate this catalogue in heartfelt memory of my friend Michael R. Duffy, whose love of beauty and warm, generous spirit transformed my life over the last decade. Jennifer C. Krieger Managing Partner, Hawthorne Fine Art
