Maggie's Farm

On our tour of Manhattan, Bird Dog noted the discovery of Robert Henri's home on Gramercy Park.  

Henri was a founder and one of the better known members of the Ashcan School, along with several others who were known as the "Philadelphia Four."  Among these four artists was Everett Shinn.  Everett felt one of our tour stops, Washington Square, was the "most beautiful place in New York."

It certainly is a wonderful place, vibrant and active on nice days.  Shinn caught its beauty on a wet and windy night, as well. 

(A late note - in our comments, a regional Philadelphia artist clarified that the "Philadelphia Four" is actually the "Philadelphia Five" and inclusive of Henri.  It seems information on the intertubes is less than clear about the term, as Henri was mentor to the Four.  However, the terms seem interchangeable.  Ephemeral New York  noted that George Bellows lived near Gramercy Park, as well, on 19th Street.  We did not pass his house on our tour.)
