Gloucester Daily Times: Hopper exhibit coming to Cape Ann Museum

One of America’s beloved 20th century American artists will be the focus of an exhibition this summer at Cape Ann Museum. The exhibition, “Edward Hopper & Cape Ann: Illuminating an American Landscape” is the first dedicated to Hopper’s formative development on Cape Ann, marking a century since he and his future wife, Josephine “Jo” Nivison, visited Gloucester. 

The exhibition features 65 works, including paintings, drawings and prints brought together from the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Brooklyn Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., and 24 other institutions and private lenders to tell the story of Hopper’s formative years when he experimented with his painting technique, met his future wife, and embarked on a legendary career.

Cape Ann COSMOS: The Art of Mary Blood Mellen

Although often linked to her mentor Fitz Henry Lane, Mary Blood Mellen (1819-1886) was an accomplished artist who deserves her place in the history of art on Cape Ann. To better appreciate Mellen’s artistic skills, the Cape Ann Museum has staged a special exhibition of her work, on view in the center of the Lane Gallery. 

Mary Blood Mellen, after moving to Gloucester with her husband, Rev. Charles W. Mellen, became Lane’s student and collaborator, with Lane even giving her access to his preliminary drawings.
