Two paintings by Daniel Garber—“Morning Train” and “Water Birch – Springtime”— are also included in the Collection. Garber was a graduate of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and one of the most prominent artists in the Pennsylvania Impressionist movement. In 1916, he helped found the New Hope Art Colony whose members produced and exhibited work together until 1926. It was the verdant and varied landscape of Cuttaloosa, a hamlet on the Delaware River an hour north of Philadelphia, that would remain his inspiration and subject for the rest of his career. Both “Morning Train” and “Water Birch – Springtime” capture the idyllic Delaware River valley. The Hamilton Collection contains several works by other prominent Philadelphia artists, including Martha Walter and Edmund Darch Lewis, as well a scene of Philadelphia’s Girard Trust Building by Paulette Van Roekens. Freeman’s is honored to present these paintings, and the Collection as a whole while celebrating the woman behind it. The Collection will be offered in two auctions. The fine art, furniture, porcelain, silver and other decorative and personal items will be presented as a single-owner sale, The Collection of Dorrance “Dodo” H. Hamilton on April 29. Mrs. Hamilton’s jewelry collection will be offered in Freeman’s Fine Jewelry auction on May 9.
