Cover image: Frederick C. Frieseke, The Bird Cage (c. 1913, oil on canvas, 31 x 31 in., New Britain Museum of American Art, John Butler Talcott Fund). The entire issue covers the Connecticut Impressionist Art Trail, a chapter on each of the twelve member institutions supplied by the museums themselves. The introduction sets out the Trail's history: the 1980 cooperative exhibition Connecticut and American Impressionism, two Smithsonian seminars in 1991, a 1992 meeting at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, a May 1994 tourism grant matched by the twelve museums, and the official launch by Governor John Rowland on June 15, 1995. Members voted in 2005 to expand beyond Impressionism and the Trail was renamed the Connecticut Art Trail, so this issue records the original twelve-museum Impressionist configuration. Period gallery advertising includes Childs Gallery on Bryson Burroughs and De Ville Galleries on William Chadwick and the Bernhard Gutmann estate.
