Painting in Peru in the 1970s inspired her “craving for landscape.” In 1983 she moved to Millbrook in upstate New York, and recorded its landscape in this and many other paintings. The subject of the painting—the Stone Church near Millbrook—was named for the resemblance of the cavern’s entrance to a cathedral arch. Painted by a number of American artists, including Asher B. Durand, it was a popular tourist attraction in the 18th and 19th centuries. Here, Duesberry’s ordering of the geometries of the scene owes much to her experience painting the open landscape vistas of the West. It also reflects what the artist identified as her unconscious visual memory, the creative and unifying source for her landscapes as “kindred paintings.” Cavern with Waterfalls is one of two canvases by Duesberry in the collection. It was installed for her 50th class reunion and was featured in the exhibition The Lay of the Land (Summer 2016). Although she was unable to see the show before her death, she knew that it was inspired, in part, by her gift of this painting. ABOVE: Joellyn Duesberry.
