On View At Woodbury Antiques And Fine Art

WOODBURY — Woodbury Antiques and Fine Art is presenting an exhibition of New England landscape paintings through February 24. There will be an opening reception at the gallery on January 12, from 12 to 5 pm.

Titled “New England: We shall be as a City upon a Hill,” the show’s theme stems from Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop’s 1630 statement, “We shall be as a City upon a Hill!”

The exhibition includes such works as Carolyn M. Bell’s “Smith Cove, Gloucester, Mass.,” E.C. Coates’ “View of Mount Tom and the Connecticut River,” Jesse Talbot’s “Vermont Scenery,” J.W. Bell’s “Echo Lake, NH,” Leon Foster Jones’s “Summertime, NH, 1909,” George Mitchell’s “Low tide, Long Point Lighthouse, Provincetown, MA,” William Chadwick’s “Old Lyme,” Wilson Irvine’s “Old Lyme in Winter,” and Arthur Cohen’s “Pilgrims Monument, Provincetown, Mass.”

Also, Albert P. Buttons’ “A Cape Cod Windmill,” Wilton Lockwood’s “Interior Scene,” Walter Clark’s “Connecticut Landscape,” George L. Noyes’s “Mount Monadnock, NH,” Horace Brown’s “Scene near Springfield, Vermont,” and Hal Robinson’s “Farmington River, Conn.”

Of particular note is the Leon Foster Jones work, which is a divisionist type of broken brushwork canvas depicting a bridge in New Hampshire with a stream below glittering in the sunlight. In theme and composition, it closely relates to a painting in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston by the same artist, also from 1909, titled, “Suncook River, New Hampshire.”
