Reviews

If you've had quite enough of the chi-chi shopping and fancy dining of Newbury Street, this wonderful art gallery will provide the perfect respite.

As vertical as it is horizontal, there are five floors of paintings displayed in little rooms on each storey. There are just a handful of works per room, allowing you to never feel stuck in any one spot in your efforts to carefully consider each lovely scene hanging before you.

And you will want to give them the utmost consideration. Shows are seasonal, but on this occasion the theme was American landscapes. More specifically, vignettes exploring nature throughout the calendar all over New England. A Vermont mountain here, a country road in the Blackstone Corridor there . . . A mini travelogue of one of America's most scenic pockets brought to you in oils, acrylics, water colors and even paper cuts. 

Accompanying you through your travels are members of the staff seated at their desks, usually one to a floor, who are quite solicitous of aiding you with any questions that might strike you about the artists or compositions. Their presence is uniformly unobtrusive and every bit as helpful as you'd like it to be. So nice to be able to strike up a conversation about art with professionals and not feel a radiance of pretension wafting about the exchange.

The works are priced in a range where, if you're just browsing off the street, you won't experience buyers' remorse from an impulse buy. This is serious art for serious collectors. But you will get a wonderful little education from both your own intellect seeking answers about technique, geography and art history as well as from the staff, always eager to fill in any gaps you can't divine for yourself about the art.

Vose Galleries is a Boston institution, now in its fifth generation of ownership by the eponymous family. That the presentation is as fresh and exuberant as though its grand opening were days ago, reflects very strongly on the passion for collection and interchange that has characterized this remarkable institution of the Boston fine arts scene since the mid 19th century.
