Art and the New England Farm – the Perils and Pleasures of Farming

The Florence Griswold Museum is uniquely positioned to tell the story of Art and the New England Farm, on view May 11 through September 16. This exhibition delves into the agricultural heritage of Florence Griswold’s family estate, the Lyme region and beyond, to examine the complex history and character of New England’s farms. Paintings, drawings, and photographs by artists from the 1830s to the present day will trace the unique challenges of farming in New England. The Museum’s property is itself a case study of family farms in New England. Purchased by the Griswolds in 1841, these grounds became a country estate with barns, an orchard, gardens, and riverfront pastures where the family practiced small-scale farming during Florence’s childhood. While farming on the property had declined by the 1880s, Friday’s photographs of timeworn Tiffany Farms remind visitors of the challenges faced by farmers in an era when interest in organic much of what was grown still supplemented the table for the artists who local food is high, but the costs can be unsustainable. stayed at Miss Florence’s famous boardinghouse. The exhibition explores representations of the New England farmstead by influential artists such as George Henry Durrie, which became iconic emblems of mid-19th century rural American life. Artists captured the distinct landscape of the region with its rocks, hills, and the farms crafted from this difficult terrain. Durrie’s depictions of rural life became ubiquitous through their replication as Currier & Ives prints and came to represent the essence of New England—and American—rural life. (Continued on page 6.)

This winter we acquired one of and traveled throughout France and Holland in search these monumental paintings, Repose, September Days in Normandy (In the Meadow), which the artist began in 1888 and completed in 1889. Shortly afterward, Howe included Repose as one of his entries at the Exposition Universelle, where he received a silver medal and a certificate donated to our collection by the artist’s family in 1992. Returning to America in 1893, Howe sustained his reputation as a painter of animals by placing pieces with important public institutions and collectors such as Daniel Catlin, a Connecticut-born patron who donated Repose to the St. Louis Art Museum in 1913. When Howe joined the Lyme Art Colony, he reproduced one of his prizewinning French cattle pictures on Florence Griswold’s parlor door, suggesting how proud he was of the work he did in France. Now, with the addition of Repose to the collection following its sale by the St. Louis Art Museum, we have gained a portable—albeit nearly With her long eyelashes and direct gaze, Howe’s bovine model in Repose is sure to life-sized at 36 inches high x 51 1/2 inches wide—example of find an appreciative home in Old Lyme.

You should see mine here, just the place for high thinking and low living.” Apple Trees in Bloom, Old Lyme has a scintillating quality that places it among the artist’s best work and is a testament to the creative spark Hassam felt in Old Lyme.
