Author Description

Former Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the New Britain Museum of American Art, Dr. Timothy McLaughlin, has amassed a stunning collection of over forty paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, all focused on Connecticut and the Northeast region. Featuring works by masters of the Hudson River School and American Impressionism, as well as contemporary artists, this collection shows how various artists over the past two centuries have been inspired by the landscapes, people, and cities of Connecticut and the Northeast, and how their works reflect these sources of inspiration. This catalogue contains a statement by the collector himself, a main essay that explores the collection as a whole, and 30 object entries by local and national scholars and New Britain Museum of American Art staff.
