St. Ann’s Church, Prospect Street, Gloucester
Description
Although a prominent member of the Chicago art community, James Jeffrey Grant found his “favorite sketching ground” not in Illinois, but in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The small fishing village and artist colony first drew the artist in 1931, and he continued to summer there over the next twenty years. Recording the daily activities of the fishermen and villagers with his oils and watercolors, Grant captured life as he experienced it. These works were exhibited each summer at the North Shore Art Association between the years of 1934 and 1956, along with those created during his frequent trips abroad.
