This exhibit assembles for the first time many of Hopper’s 23 known Vermont watercolors and six known drawings, on loan from institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Neuberger Museum of Art at SUNY Purchase, as well as from private collections around the country. Hopper, seen by many as the quintessentially American artist, made regular summer sojourns to the state, and the work he produced as a result is notable, both for his ability to capture an inherent sense of the place that is Vermont, and because it was for the most part produced when he was seeking new locations for inspiration. These particular works, relatively unknown to most and rarely on view—some are being shown for the first time in 50 years—are pure landscapes with few traces of architectural form. Marked by nuances of distinctive color, light, and shadow, they are studies in artistic process, illustrating how Hopper’s vision of Vermont developed between the time of his first visit, in 1927, and his last, in 1938.
