Artful Conversations: John Sloan’s “Scavenger Rocks”
Docent Dan Duffy leads an hour on John Sloan’s Scavenger Rocks (1914), a recent acquisition, starting with Sloan’s stays at East Gloucester’s Red Cottage from 1914 to 1918 and the granite outcropping near Niles Beach that he painted, shown in photographs, before moving into the galleries to look at the canvas. Duffy has run Rockport’s Beech Tree B&B with his wife Helene for 16 years.
