In 2017, the Concord Museum received a generous anonymous gift of forty-seven of Coleman’s paintings. Originally displayed in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, few visitors were able to come and see this remarkable collection of paintings that reveal a fascination with, and a sadness over, the changing New England landscape. Drawn from real-life subjects in and around Massachusetts primarily, Coleman’s paintings are often monumental in size and incredibly detailed. When he could, Coleman painted plein air, or outdoors, capturing his subjects at different times of day and under diverse weather conditions. Inside the studio, he consulted sketches and preliminary watercolors when putting together the final artwork.
We are pleased to again present this exhibition with some new additions and celebrate the work of an accomplished artist who had a strong Concord connection and who explored the local New England landscape with a sense of wonder and authenticity.
