Lot Essay

Henry Martin Gasser lived and worked in New Jersey throughout his career painting images of everyday life, making them both specific to a place and also universally appealing. He would often investigate a particular subject, re-creating it with simple variations in order to fully explore its artistic potential. Harbor Scene immediately communicates the intrinsic sense of place that was central to Gasser's ouevre.
