Dr. Baxter Bell brought Inness home to the audience — literally — showing fascinating photos of the site of the artist’s former home and studio at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Grove Street in Montclair, but she stressed that Inness’ paintings, more often than not, are not "place specific," and that precise locations are difficult to identify in his paintings. It is the "poetry" of a place rather than its idiosyncratic topographical markers, Dr. Baxter Bell pointed out, that Inness so successfully captures in his atmospheric landscape paintings, many of which may be seen in Montclair Art Museum’s special collection of his work.
