River to the Ridge

Paintings by Jack Fagan

Join us for the Artist Reception on Saturday, March 7th from 2-4pm

About the Artists:

Jack Fagan, a New York City native, discovered the Shawangunks in the mid-1950s when he was a Geology student at CCNY. For the next six decades he hiked, camped and led field trips in the Shawangunks. As a weekender in the 1980s at what is now Turkey Point State Forest, he paddled the Hudson in a rowboat. In 1993-94 he lived in a house on the shore at Esopus Meadows. Painting was an avocation from childhood. In paintings and drawings over several decades he recorded views of the ‘Gunks and river scenes. Some of the river scenes were painted from shore and some while afloat. Water is also a theme that runs through the Ridge paintings. Many of the scenes of the Ridge can be compared with drawings in his publication, “Scenes and Walks in the Northern Shawangunks.” Jack is 94 and lives in Kingston, NY.
