There's something about spending the weekend in Connecticut that makes us think of
Fairfield Porter. The obvious name associations aside, his palatte and subjects have an elegant, yankee charm that we see everyday in our journeys for antiques and historic homes. Here's a sampling of why we love both:
Fairfield Porter,
Under the Elms, 1971/2
A lovely 19th century colonial in
Riverton, Ct.
Granite in a stone wall
Fairfield Porter,
Still life with Yellow Tablecloth, 1948
Enclosed porch, perfect for nesting
Porter's portait of Andy Warhol and Ted Carey
Farmington River
Moss on a damp tree by the river
Jimmy and Liz, 1963
A gorgeous 1822 colonial in Riverton, Ct.
A Day Indoors, 1963
