In the galleries.(Hirschl and Adler Galleries to host Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute's exhibition)
At the funeral of Thomas Cole in 1848, William Cullen Bryant delivered an oration that described Cole's epic series The Voyage of Life (see the illustration below) as "a perfect poem." Those who have not traveled to Utica, New York, to see this group of paintings and other important examples of American fine and decorative arts at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute should put this destination on their list of places to visit. In the meantime, in New York City between November 16 and December 29, Hirschl and Adler Galleries is hosting an exhibition of seventy-nine objects drawn from the museum's collection. The show is entitled American Masterworks from the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute: Celebrating an Educational Alliance with Pratt Institute.

It was originally housed in Fountain Elms, the commodious ...
