Saturday there was a tour of Lord & Schryver gardens and it was the PERFECT day…sunny and warm (but not too warm). We went first to Gaiety Hollow…Lord and Schryver’s home garden…the allee with the 300 year old oak tree was cool and inviting (though in spring it’s a riot of color), the brick paths […]

Lord and Schryver
I hope between now and September 18th you’ll have a chance to visit the Hallie Ford Museum of Art to see an interesting show of the garden plans and watercolors of the landscape architects Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver, curated by Sharon Rose and myself. Lord and Schryver both attended the Lowthorpe School in Groton, […]
L&S…the Photo Session…and on
Yesterday was a busy one, beginning in the basement of the Hallie Ford Museum where the excellent Frank Miller came to photograph a few of the Lord & Schryver drawings for publicity use. Frank arrived with tons of equipment and quickly set up…ready to shoot: My CO-curator Sharon Rose was on hand, and the first […]

Alexandra Opie at the Hallie Ford
Went to see Alexandra Opie’s new work at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and I thought it a stunning show… the beautiful, sepia, large format photos are playing off of her interest in old photographs and her feeling of the unsettling mystery of landscape…all used to wonderful effect in this show…really a must see…here […]

Henk Pander and Roger Hull, a Conversation

Henk & Roger at PNCA
Roger “took it on the road” last night for his “last” (I doubt this…) lecture on Henk Pander, in Portland at PNCA. Art History is always frought with technical problems, it seems, but at PNCA the excellent Bobby was totally organized and then it was “show time”! with a nice Q&A afterwords… the last chance […]
Henk Pander on the McCall Portrait…
An intrepid band of the general public met today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art to watch a video made in 2002 about Henk Pander and the painting of his 1982 portrait of Governor Tom McCall, and then to take walk over to the State Capitol Building to look at the painting. We were […]
