Transcript
It
was the
end
of an
era
and the
beginning
of a
new
at the
Washington
County
Museum
of
Fine
Arts
on
Monday
evening
but
overall
there was an
aura
of
gladness
as
over
two
hundred
persons
turned
out
to
pay
special
tribute
to the
retiring
director
,
Bruce
Etchison
, and his
wife
, and to
welcome
a
new
director
,
Alan
Du
Bois
, and his
wife
.
This was the
final
opportunity
for
local
members
of the
museum
,
who
came
by
special
invitation
, to
pay
their
due
respect
to
Mr
.
Etchison
and his
wife
for his
service
of
distinction
to the
people
of this
community
and
wish
them
God
speed
in their
future
work
at the
Abby
Aldrich
Rockefeller
Folk
Art
Museum
in
Colonial
Williamsburg
.
It
was also an
opportunity
for the
large
group
of
friends
of the
museum
to be
heartened
by the
fresh
,
youthful
earnestness
of the
new
director
, and
realize
that the
work
of the
museum
would
continue
on
under
capable
hands
.
Symbolizing
the
end
of this
transition
are the
three
persons
above
who
perhaps
have
played
the
most
significant
role
in the
growth
of the
museum
during
Mr
.
Etchison's
reign
.
Standing
before
the
painting
"
Madonna
and
Child
With
Saints
Roch
and
Anthony
Abbot
" by
Polidoro
Lanzani
,
Venetian
1515-1565
,
which
was
given
by an
anonymous
donor
and the
Mrs
.
William
Grimm
Trust
Fund
in
honor
of
Bruce
Etchison
, are,
left
,
Abris
Silberman
of the
E.&.A
.
Silberman
Galleries
,
New
York
City
,
whose
personal
interest
in the
local
museum
and
rapport
with the
retiring
director
was
responsible
for the
large
and
growing
permanent
collection
of
Old
Masters
belonging
to the
museum
. With him,
center
,
is
Mrs
.
William
T
.
Hamilton
,
Jr.
,
whose
dedication
,
vision
, and
personal
giving
of
self
in the
interest
of the
museum
, has
fulfilled
the
trust
placed
in her by
Mr
. and
Mrs
.
William
Singer
with their
gift
of the
museum
to the
people
of
Washington
County
. And, a
measure
of the
respect
which
he has
earned
,
both
from the
people
of this
community
and from the
art
world
on the
national
scene
,
is
indicated
in the
presentation
of the
Old
Master
painting
in
honor
of the
retiring
director
,
right
, for
during
his
tenure
the
permanent
collection
has
grown
by a
half
million
dollars
through
gifts
alone
.
The
era
that has
passed
has been a
good
one
.
Rich
and
rewarding
both
to the
director
, to
local
citizens
, and those
who
have
worked
with him at the
museum
.
