Villa Clare: The Purposeful Life And Timeless Art Collection of J. J. Haverty

"Before there was Atlanta's High Museum of Art there was Villa Clare - J. J. Haverty's Mediterranean-style home on Peachtree Street. During the heyday of Villa Clare in the 1920s and 1930s, Haverty regularly opened the doors on Sunday afternoons to the public to enjoy his collection of more than 100 paintings and sculptures by artists including Childe Hassam, William Merritt Chase, Helen Maria Turner, and Henry Ossawa Tanner. In telling the previously untold story of J. J. Harverty and his collection, Villa Clare provides a unique new perspective on the story of early Atlanta."--BOOK JACKET.William Rawson Smith is the author of 'Villa Clare: The Purposeful Life And Timeless Art Collection of J.
