Edward Henry Potthast - Along the Mystic River (ca. 1925-27)
Along the Mystic River was included among the paintings shown at the Grand Central Galleries shortly before the artist's death. Although the exhibition was widely advertised, it received little critical attention. A day after the show had closed, the artist suffered a heart attack and was found dead in his studio. "Surrounded by more than five hundred of his paintings, " one newspaper reported, "he lay in front of his easel, as if he had been stricken while at work." Another newspaper reported the following day that "shortly after artist friends in the building-the Gainsborough Studios-had taken charge, men from the Grand Central Galleries returned the thirty paintings the artist had had on exhibition during the last two weeks at that place." If the artist's estate consisted of five hundred paintings, as several newspapers asserted, their value was placed from only seventy-five to eighty-five thousand dollars. (source)
