Condolences to Dan Shaw. So sorry to learn of Nancy's passing. We worked together on the Thomas Wilmer Dewing: Beauty Reconfigured exhibition , staged in 1997 at the DIA. We had a history together as American Impressionism and Tonalism came out of storage in the early 1970s and became of great interest in the next several decades. I remember her well and with appreciation. Susan Hobbs
