Lot Essay

After their first trip to Vermont in 1935, the Avery family repeatedly visited the area, which provided a unique source of inspiration after their prior summers spent on the coast in Gloucester and Cape Ann, Massachusetts. The artist's wife Sally poetically reminisced, “The hills of Vermont beckoned next, and we climbed mountains and painted hilly landscapes.” (as quoted in B.L. Grad, , Royal Oak, Michigan, 1981, n.p.)
