Summer Shadows c. 20th century

Editor: This is "Summer Shadows" by Samuel Chamberlain. It reminds me of a sleepy, old-fashioned New England town. The sepia tones give it such a nostalgic feel. What draws your eye when you look at this? Curator: Isn't it lovely? I always feel a pang of longing looking at Chamberlain's prints. He captures that quintessential New England stillness, doesn't he? I think he's inviting us to pause, to consider the quiet beauty often overlooked in the rush of modern life. What do you think? Editor: I agree. It’s a world away from the city! I like how the branches create a canopy. Curator: Exactly! It is as if Chamberlain is reminding us that beauty resides in the simplest of moments, in the dance of light and shadow. Editor: I'll definitely look at old street scenes differently now. Curator: Me too. Always something new to discover!
