| | Montclair Art Museum Gallery Will Be Dedicated to Works by George Inness |
 | | Inness' considerable contribution to American art at the turn of the century greatly influenced 20th century art movements, and brought recognition to American artists in their own right as peers of their European counterparts. |
 | | The Museum's Inness collection is comprised of 17 oil paintings, spanning the years 1848 through 1894, 2 watercolors, 1 etching, and Inness ephemera, including his palette, brushes and paints, letters, and a bronze bust of the artist by his son-in-law, Jonathan Scott Hartley. |
 | | Inness, whose body was laid in state at the National Academy of Design upon his death in 1894, was even more famous in 1900 and, furthermore, he could no longer challenge the Department as he had done in 1889. |
