Joan Cobb Marsh studied with Henry Hensche, another artist that worked and taught in Provincetown after training with Charles Hawthorne. Hensche was known for his mastery of color observation and sensitivity, a skill that Marsh had clearly adopted into her work. Her work made in Provincetown reflects her investigation of emotional memory connected to certain places. Her careful brushwork and use of shadows and highlights emphasizes a sense of peaceful quiet amongst the interior of the dune shack.Artwork Details
