abstract:William Marsden (1796–1867) was an English surgeon whose main achievements are the founding of two presently well-known hospitals, the Royal Free Hospital (in 1828) and the Royal Marsden Hospital (in 1851).
Oscar Bluemner, William Glackens, Marsden Hartley, Robert Henri, John Marin, Maurice Prendergast, Charles Sheeler and John Sloan were all in the Armory Show, and their contributions are now brought back together in Montclair.
The Brooklyn Museum's show is broader in scope, spanning the 18th to the 20th century in the U.S. with works by such notables as William Merritt Chase, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe and Elihu Vedder, along with accomplished artists who are largely unfamiliar, even to specialists.
