Highland Light, North Truro, Massachusetts 1894

Editor: Here we have Denman Waldo Ross’s "Highland Light, North Truro, Massachusetts.” I find its hazy colors and the rough texture almost dreamy. What stands out to you? Curator: For me, it's about capturing a moment of stillness, wouldn't you agree? Ross seems to be chasing a feeling, rather than a perfect landscape. I imagine him standing there, letting the ocean breeze inform each brushstroke. It’s as if the painting breathes, a little poem on canvas. Editor: A poem, I like that. It definitely feels more impressionistic than realistic. Thanks, that really shifted my perspective. Curator: Absolutely! Now, go write your own poems, inspired by art!
