Gloucester Daily Times: Unpacking Edward Hopper In Gloucester By Ethan Forman From the Cape Ann Museum #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

They’re installing at the Cape Ann Museum. Exciting news from Ethan Forman:

“On Friday, June 30, about 100 years after it was painted, “The Mansard Roof” returned to Gloucester, to the Cape Ann Museum, in the city’s 400+ anniversary year.

It and the 1928 painting, “House at Riverdale,” also on loan from the Brooklyn Museum, were unpacked and hung with care by Caroline Gillaspie, assistant curator of American Art at the Brooklyn Museum, and Leon Doucette, assistant curator of the Cape Ann Museum.”

Ethan Forman. Unpacking Hopper in Gloucester, Gloucester Daily Times. July 1, 2023

The Art Newspaper published an announcement preview about the upcoming show last week and Vanity Fair hyped the catalogue for a summer read. Looking forward to the many reviews of this special survey in Gloucester after the exhibition opens July 22, 2023.

OutCycling’s super scenic Whitney Edward Hopper Ride From NYC to Nyack Along the Hudson

Posted on by Catherine

Pride month news:

OutCyling, a New York city LGBTQ sports community group programmed a dynamite long distance spin hosted by the Whitney Museum and Edward Hopper House that I think will not only sell out fast it will inspire similar routes for many bicycle groups to Hopper’s places.

On what would have been Edward Hopper’s birthday July 22, 2023 at 7:30AM, serious cyclists who signed up for OutCylists Hopper themed event will trace a journey between NYC and Nyack, the two hometowns he held most dear, along the Hudson past surroundings that inspired recurrent motifs and back again, a 60-mile round trip sojourn.

Hopper wasn’t commuting to work and his boyhood home by bike, but he was a cyclist in his youth. On the Nyack stop, the Edward Hopper house is bringing out his 1897 bike!

There’s a history of cycling between Boston and Gloucester, Massachusetts. Imagine round-trip Hopper rides between the MFA and Cape Ann Museum, or Harvard and Cape Ann Museum, or a shorter one from the Addison to Cape Ann Museum. There could be a lengthier one with the Currier or Portland Museum, and multi day itineraries Bowdoin and beyond.

Eagle Pair Watching Our Harbor

Posted on by Pat D

We came across this well hidden pair of eagles watching over our harbor adjacent to Stage Fort Park recently. I believe this to be the same pair we have observed many times in West Gloucester. To help me follow them and tell their story as it develops, I think they should be called Fred (the adult) and Ethel (the younger eagle). For those of you that remember I Love Lucy, you may remember that Ethel was generally portrayed as younger than her husband Fred. She was also often dressed in a more drab manner than her costar Lucy. So….Fred and Ethel…. Anyhow, this is a favored perch so we know where to look but we don’t often see them both here at the same time. Fred seems to be a little more skittish than Ethel and it takes off usually after a short roost. This time Ethel stayed for a while.
