In his soft-spoken way he was as much at home talking about early American folk art, a Sol Lewitt wall drawing, a Whistler portrait, a tender Marin seascape or a massive, surly Serra. Across the board, his eye was sharp, his aim true. Beyond that, all I would add to Jacque's lovely, deserved tribute to Hugh is that for all his warmth and gentle grace, there was steel inside that velvet glove. The enduring evidence of this is the Colby College Museum, a treasure in the heart of Maine. one of the things I found so remarkable about Hugh was the range of his tastes and interests in art.
