Cecil Vezin Grant.Vermont, New Jersey,1880-1953
Titled "Fall Meadow Peru, depicts an Impressionist landscape of a vast open field with tall skinny trees and bursts of shrubbery. Grant was largely a hobby painter until he was struck by The Great Depression, losing his job and home in the process. He moved his family into a Vermont farmhouse where they struggled to make ends meet, even so Grant still painted to keep occupied. He began to win awards at local exhibitions. His works can now be found at the Fleming Museum, the Bennington Museum, Vanderbilt University, and the Newark Museum among others.
