	Wadsworth Atheneum - History
		Thus, Wadsworth's generous gesture was an exciting turn of events that raised the cultural fortunes of an entire community.
		Wadsworth almost immediately expanded his plan for a fine arts gallery to include a Connecticut Historical Society and the Young Men's Institute, precursor of the Hartford Public Library.
		The resulting cultural center was dedicated to the preservation and presentation of history, literature, and art, and was named "Atheneum" in honor of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.

		The son of Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth (1743-1804), one of Connecticut 's wealthiest and most powerful men, Daniel's Puritan ancestors were among the original founders of the state, travelers in the party led by Reverend Thomas Hooker that journeyed from Massachusetts Bay Colony to found Hartford in 1636.
		Wadsworth was first exposed to the aesthetics of landscape culture during a European trip he took with his father in 1784 and 1785.
		Wadsworth and other Americans thus acquired their understanding of the basic categories of the beautiful, the sublime, and the picturesque.

	A legacy of firsts on display at the Wadsworth Atheneum - The Boston Globe
		The Wadsworth family is responsible for two: the first woolen mill in America (1788), one of many enterprises that made Jeremiah Wadsworth rich, and the first public art museum (1842), established by his son Daniel, who inherited a great deal of his father's wealth.
		The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art reflects its founder's desire to create a civic center of learning and culture.
		Of Daniel Wadsworth's father, Jeremiah, who helped plan and support the American Revolution, George Washington wrote, "I only wish his successor may feed the Army as well as he has done." Hartford's residents and visitors may feel the same way about Daniel, whose artistic and civic vision continues to feed his community.

	"Sol LeWitt incomplete open cubes": Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT - Brief Article ArtForum - Find Articles
		In contrast to the breadth of LeWitt's exhaustive traveling retrospective, the Wadsworth's focused approach afforded viewers a chance to consider the unfolding of a single major work in a variety of its manifestations.
		One of the exhibition's galleries contained a group of methodical studies that demonstrated the artist's dogged pursuit of the basic serial premise governing the "Incomplete Open Cubes": the elaboration of every variation of an open-sided cube missing between one and nine of its edges.
		However, seeing the Wadsworth's accumulation of studies, models, and documentation suggested a more fluid process, raising the important question of where exactly a work's "conception" ends and its "execution" begins.
