Découvert, when used as a French verb, means discovered — an apt word to describe our gallery that opened in 2012, comprised primarily of drawings. We are grateful beyond words to the independent historians, scholars in universities, curators of works on paper in museums, drawing specialists in major auction houses, art dealer colleagues, and knowledgeable collectors for their help in more fully understanding works in our keeping. We consider their guidance, offered amid busy schedules and work obligations, to be points of grace. Our gallery is at 73 Main Street in Rockport, Massachusetts and decouvertfineart.com.
