The coastal city of Gloucester Massachusetts, a major hub for America’s fishing industry, also became a celebrated summer resort for prominent American painters and writers including Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Cecilia Beaux and T.S. Eliot. 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 who, a century later, has created a new body of work centred on the small fishing city.As a young man visiting Gloucester, Edward Hopper turned away from the allure of its ragged coast line and instead created atmospheric watercolours of homes, lighthouses and street scenes in Gloucester.
