Catskill Expressionist
Deep in the Catskill mountains near Woodstock lies the rustic mountain cabin that American artist Raoul Hague spent a quiet forty years and produced his most important and compelling work directly carving from wood. His rooms filled with knick knacks he made and collected. This fascinating home now requires periodic conservation to keep it as he left it.
In the words of writer Michael Gotkin " The tableaux that he created inside his home constitute a visual text that reflects his concerns with mortality and the endurance of art."
Wouldn't you just love to spend a weekend there looking at his intricate decor, thinking about his art and life.
