Description
Laurel by EDWARD F. ROOK
Edward Francis Rook
Born September 21, 1870, New York City
Died October 25, 1960, Old Lyme, Connecticut
In Old Lyme, 1903-1960
Rook arrived in Old Lyme in 1903, the year that Childe Hassam is credited with introducing the impressionistic style to the art colony. Rook became an impassioned Impressionist painter, who enjoyed painting the same subject multiple times (as Monet did with haystacks and Rouen Cathedral). For Rook, it was the abandoned Bradbury’s Mill, an Old Lyme landmark a mile or so north of the boardinghouse.
