Dike Blair & Edward Hopper: Gloucester

<p><strong>Portraits of the picturesque Massachusetts city, painted a century apart</strong></p><p>In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the coastal city of Gloucester, Massachusetts, long a major hub for America¿s fishing industry, became a celebrated summer resort for prominent American painters and writers including Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Cecilia Beaux and T.S. Eliot. As a young man visiting Gloucester, Edward Hopper (1882¿1967) turned away from the allure of its ragged coast line and instead created atmospheric watercolors of homes, lighthouses and street scenes in Gloucester.<br>In this volume, art historian Robert Hobbs revisits these works from the 1920s, which he positions alongside the work of New York¿based painter Dike Blair (born 1952), who, a century later, has created a new body of work centered on the small fishing city.</p>
