The East Hampton Historical Society has announced “The Sounding Sea; The Art of Edward, Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran,” a new exhibit currently on display at the Moran Studio, East Hampton Village.
“The Sounding Sea” follows the careers of three members of one of America’s most illustrious family of artists, Edward Moran (1829-1902), his brother Thomas Moran (1837-1926) and Thomas’ wife, Mary Nimmo Moran (1842-1899).
Edward Moran was a painter of marine subjects. He hired his kid brother, Thomas, as his studio assistant and became his teacher. Thomas later married Mary Nimmo, and taught her to be his assistant. “The Sounding Sea” brings together over 40 of their oils, etchings, watercolors and drawing to celebrate this part of their artistic legacy.
The Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Studio is located at 229 Main Street, East Hampton, and can be viewed Thursday through Saturday, from 11 am to 3 pm.
