      New England is renowned for the summer leisure and activities afforded by its mountains, villages, and seacoast.

      Since the 19th century, painters have gathered in New England to capture these activities and landscapes on canvas. In Painting Summer in New England, guest curator Trevor Fairbrother assembles an astonishing array of paintings, ranging from the 1850s to the present, including works by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Andrew Wyeth, Stuart Davis, George Bellows, Marguerite Zorach, Edward Hopper, Lois Dodd, and Alex Katz. While some works reflect the leisure activities of the summer, others touch on the counterpoints of city living, rural existence, and the impact on natural settings and resources.

      Painting Summer in New England, organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, opened April 22, 2006 and ran through Sept. 4, 2006. Media partners for Painting Summer in New England were The Boston Globe and Mix 98-5.
