In the days before email and texts, people corresponded through letters. The Museum is fortunate to have letters written to Paul Whitener, HMA’s founder and first director, from artists and donors regarding early acquisitions to the Collection. Works of art by Wilford Seymour Conrow, Ella Richards, Hobart Nichols and others will be presented alongside of letters, offering an “insider” perspective to HMA’s early days of collecting. This exhibition paves the way into HMA’s 75th Anniversary celebration.
