Art-to-Art Talk
2004 this event has passed
On May 16th, Art Historian Jayne Warman drew a packed crowd at the Yeager Community Room as she presented works of art the Conservancy has acquired as a part of its effort to bring the creations of early Bronxville artists back to our community. Among the works presented were two winter scenes by Sheldon Parsons (
1 and
2) who captured the beauty of the Bronx River and surrounding woods; a spring landscape by
Walter Clark that reflects this artist’s enthusiasm for painting the local scenery, particularly the woodlands along the Bronx River; a beautifully painted watercolor by
Will Hicok Low that epitomizes his mastery of allegorical subjects; a charming scene of toy sail boats on the Bronxville pond painted by Will Low’s wife,
Mary Fairchild Low, and bought in memory Jean Bartlett; a large and splashy still life of peonies by
Spencer Baird Nichols; an allegorical scene donated by Charles Hinton, Jr.,
painted by his father and given to him as a wedding gift; and the most recent acquisition — a striking portrait of
William Van Duzer Lawrence given to the Conservancy by Bob and Sarah Underhill. Bob is the great-great grandson of this Bronxville founding father.
