Harold Weston, a modernist painter whose outsized
zest for life powered his art, painted in Persia, the Adirondack mountains,
French Pyrenees, Greenwich Village, and the Isle of Rhodes. Weston’s
prodigious output arcs from the expressionist Adirondack landscapes first
shown at the Montross Gallery (1922), to the New Deal murals with graphic
depictions of Federal construction (1936-38), and, lastly, to the gouache
abstracts known as the Stone Series (1968-72).
The Harold Weston Foundation, a repository of Harold
Weston’s artwork and
archival material, is open to collaboration with institutions and scholars in
an effort to promote a greater understanding of the artist’s art and life
