A Gathering of Eagles
Artists of the Cornish Colony
Celebrating the artists who worked and lived in Cornish, New Hampshire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this exhibition will bring together 110 paintings, sculptures, prints representing some of the most important works of American artists such as Daniel Chester French, George de Forest Brush, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Maxfield Parrish, and Abbott Handerson Thayer. Although the styles, themes, and media chosen by these and other Cornish Colony artists vary significantly, what united all of them was the firm conviction that beauty, precision, and excellence must be pursued in all of the arts. In its scope and variety, A Gathering of Eagles encapsulates the spirit of the American Gilded Age and showcases the vigor and ingenuity of the artistic currents that converged in the Cornish Colony and would define the first generation of modern American artists.
