From the museum
William Merritt Chase painted several small harbor scenes, like Marine, whose sparse compositions were unusual for their day. Discussing these works, one baffled critic complained, "they rarely contain enough to make frames worth while." A longtime, immensely popular art instructor, William Merritt Chase once quipped, "I believe I am the father of more art children than any other teacher."
