Roger Barron

Some artists have a wonderful ability to capture not only a place, but the feeling of being there.

Roger Barron (1938–2017) was one of them.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Barron became a longtime Boston antiques dealer as well as an accomplished painter. He traveled extensively throughout New England, sketching and painting en plein air and finding inspiration along the coastline, in marshes and dunes, beside harbors, and in the people who gathered there.

He became particularly known for colorful, impressionistic oil paintings of Cape Ann, Massachusetts, and Maine. His figural beach scenes were also especially treasured, and Barron was a member of the North Shore Art Association in Gloucester.

Today, his paintings are receiving renewed attention—and it’s easy to understand why.
