Trout Gallery Opening
January 25, 2008

Henry Ryan MacGinnis (1875–1962) was born and raised in Indiana and began his career painting sun-filled landscapes en plein air with Hoosier Group artists T.C. Steele and John Ottis Adams. In his late twenties, MacGinnis traveled abroad for several years-studying art in Munich and Paris-before establishing his career at the School of Industrial Arts in Trenton, N.J., where he worked for forty years. His works feature scenes of the surrounding Delaware River Valley as well as views from New Hampshire, where he spent his summers. This exhibition is organized with the generous assistance of Richard Frey '90 and curated by Dickinson College senior art history majors Abigail Bruckart, Kara Carmack, Sonia Evers, Rachel Fitzsimmons, Diana Jonas, Rebecca Mendelsohn, Anna Metzger, Selwyn Ramp and Martine Romano, under the direction of Elizabeth Lee, assistant professor of art and art history.
