The East Hampton Historical Society’s The Sounding Sea: The Art of Edward, Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran

CURRENTLY ON VIEW

The Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Studio

 

Thursday – Saturday, 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

229 Main Street, East Hampton, NY 11937

 

Water-influenced Paintings, Etchings and Drawlings

Inspired by the Ocean

Welcome to The Sounding Sea

 

The East Hampton Historical Society is proud to present their newest exhibition: The Sounding Sea; The Art of Edward, Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran, currently on display at the Moran Studio, East Hampton Village. The Sounding Sea follows the careers of three members of one of America’s most illustrious family of artists – and crown jewels in the East End’s artistic lineage and legacy – Edward Moran (1829-1902), his brother Thomas Moran (1837-1926) and Thomas’ wife, Mary Nimmo Moran (1842-1899).  This exhibition follows the muse of the ocean, a powerful subject that has lured artistic imagination; all works on exhibit revolve around water.

 

Thomas Moran, “East Hampton, L.I.: Breezy Day at Main Beach”, o/c, 1894

 

When asked what inspired the current exhibit, East Hampton Historical Society’s Chief Curator, Richard Barons, said, “The story behind the careers of Edward, Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran is fascinating.  Edward was a painter of marine subjects.  He hired his kid brother, Thomas, as his studio assistant and became his teacher.  Thomas married Mary Nimmo, and taught her to be his assistant.  They all loved seascapes and reflective ponds.  We have brought together, for the first time, over 40 of their oils, etchings, watercolors and drawing to celebrate this part of their artistic legacy.”

 

The Morans often took their inspiration from local East End seascapes. Imagine seeing Georgica Pond through the eyes of Mary Nimmo Moran (1885), the romance of the Peconic Bay as seen by Thomas Moran (1904), or moonlight on waves in the North Fork from the perspective of Edward Moran (1881). The works on display will transport the viewer into the turn of the 20th Century – travel back in time to familiar East End seascapes, ever-changing yet as constant as the tide.

The sea can be operatic in its fury or becalmed in silence.  In its most brutal guise, the ocean can crush a vessel and send it sinking into the depths.  The sea can also be placid and alluring, even poetic.  It is the sea’s split personality that lures artists to portray it in all its many guises.  Welcome to The Sounding Sea, on display through September 12, 2021, at The Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran Studio, Main Street, East Hampton.

 

Thursday – Saturday, 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Note: For the final week of the exhibition, viewing dates will be extended:

Wednesday, September 8th through Sunday, September, 12th, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

  • Local Klyph Black and His 50 Years of Live East End Music

There is a musical elegance when watching Klyph Black perform on stage, whether alone or with longtime buddy John Sparrow. There is no doubt that being a musician is his life’s passion. His soul is connected to music from the tones and licks of the blues masters to the chords and songs of the Grateful Dead. He also has a body of original works including a newly released collaboration with another east end legend, Joe Delia, available on iTunes titled, “All Night Blues.” However, Klyph has been both a witness and a participant of the last 50 years of live music scene on the east end.

  • Talkhouse Encore Bottles Up the Stephen TalkHouse Experience

The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett is an iconic bar that has been putting on major national acts. Over 65 members of the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame have played there and every year more notable acts are added to the roster. In 2020, along with so many, the Talkhouse was rocked when the pandemic hit. The doors were closed and the soda streams were turned off. It was during that scary and lonely time that Ruby Honerkamp came up with the idea of Talkhouse Encore, a RTD canned cocktail that would bring the endless party experience to everyone around the world. @talkhousebar @talkencore

  • East Hampton Town Airport Drama Continues

East Hampton Town Airport never had the opportunity to enact its plan to close and reopen the airport under new usage rules last May 17th. At the last minute an injunction paused that plan from going into effect. As of now it is business as usual. New reports have the EH Town officials exploring ways to legally shut down the airport. One has to wonder is this what they really want or is this a ploy that has originated because of the frustration of not being in actual control of the outcome of their own town asset?
