SAG HARBOR 100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK September 6 – September 12, 1926

George Sterling, native of Sag Harbor, and world-renowned poet, was gaining high praise for his latest poetic drama, "Lilith." Theodore Dreiser ranked Mr. Sterling with Euripides, Aeschylus, Shakespeare, and Shelley. A Metropolitan reviewer also stated, "in truth 'Lilith' is nobly conceived and executed, for the most part with rare poetic ingenuity. Not to read it will be to miss quite the finest thing in poetic drama yet done in America and one of the finest poetic dramas yet written in English." Eight pieces of jewelry valued at $23,000, stolen by a sneak thief from the James T. Lee cottage at East Hampton on July 23, were recovered from proprietors of a New York jewelry store, where detectives and police seized what they claimed to be $100,000 worth of stolen jewelry. Henry H. Rogers, the oil magnate, who had recently bought all of Cow Neck, was reportedly negotiating to purchase North Sea bathing pavilion. Following the close of the Joseph Fahys & Co. Twilight Baseball League season, the Terrors celebrated their victory as champions of the league by attending a spaghetti supper at the home of Paul Ranalli, the hard-hitting right fielder. If gossip can be depended upon, as well as being champion ball players the team could more than hold their own bending spaghetti around a fork. The invited guests included the managing officials of Joseph Fahys & Co. as well as the captains of the various unsuccessful teams.

SagHarbor Museum: When The World Was Wood

Opening tomorrow...

When The World Was Wood Curated by Richard Doctorow Opening Reception: Friday, July 20th from 6:00 to 8:00pm Living in a time when virtually every object we use in our daily lives is made of metal, plastic or some new cutting-edge, high-tech material, it is hard to imagine a time when almost everything was made of wood. But for the first two centuries of America’s history, wood was not only the most prevalent choice of material, it was often the only choice – so much so that historians sometimes call the years 1650 to 1850 “America’s Wood Age.” When The World Was Wood explores this amazing period in America’s history by presenting some 100 objects (primarily from the 19th century) that are made of wood. Not only objects that we might expect - utensils, bowls, barrels, buckets, signs, toys and tools - but also those that are delightfully surprising, including a tricycle, gears for a tower clock, and even a washing machine manufactured right here in Sag Harbor in the 1860s.

Friday, June 22nd... "Foggy Day" by Whitney Hansen Works by Whitney Hansen, Scott Bluedorn, & Paton Miller Opening Reception: Friday, June 22nd from 6:00 to 8:00pm June 22 - July 15 Texture, layering, colors, various mediums and subjects. The beauty is there for the seeking as deep as the Sea and as limitless as the Sky. These three artists embrace the creativity and this expression is found in their work. Whitney B. Hansen Born in California, Whitney Hansen has been painting professionally most of her life. She has been in many group and solo shows in New York, Boston, East Hampton, Chappaqua, Santa Barbara and Paris, France. Her subjects are varied, from still life and portrait to seascapes and landscapes. Her medium is oil and she makes use of the woodcut process. After the print is pulled, hand painting completes the process. The layering of paint is what creates the final effect. Paton Miller After leaving his home in Hawaii to journey through Asia in 1974, Paton Miller arrived on the East End of Long Island with a collection of travel inspired artworks that won him an art scholarship from Southampton College. Graduating with honors, Paton launched his career in over twenty solo and numerous group exhibitions in New York City and throughout the United States. Today, his works are exhibited internationally, in cities such as Florence and Shanghai. Paton’s paintings are now among the most widely collected works between the East End of Long Island and New York City. Scott Bluedorn Born 1986 in Southampton, NY, Scott Bluedorn lives and works in East Hampton, NY. An artist, illustrator and designer Scott works in various media, including painting, drawing, print process, and found object assemblage. Drawing inspiration from cultural anthropology, primitivism, and nautical tradition, Bluedorn distills imagery that speaks to the collective unconscious, especially through myth and visual story-telling - a world he conjures as “maritime cosmology”. 2018 Summer Calendar ©2018 The Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum | 200 Main Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963
