Created relatively early in Moore’s career, while he was living in the Catskill Mountains, Snow Squall expressively captures a wintry landscape at twilight, with the arc of clouds above signifying a passing storm. The same undulating forms reappear in the later and more minutely rendered Mount Washington, where the iconic New Hampshire peak rises with quiet grandeur above an idyllic valley as observed in late autumn. \r\nThanks to the persistence and dedication of pioneering director Frank Jewett Mather Jr. (1922–46), the Princeton University Art Museum is one of the leading repositories of Moore’s work, together with Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum, where Moore served
as its first director (1896–1901).","remarks":"Painting on Paper: American Watercolors at Princeton"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"The artist's daughter, Elizabeth Huntington Moore; Frank Jewett Mather Jr.;","remarks":"From accession card.
