In this case, the discovery was oil canvases and watercolor paintings created by Arthur Lingquist in the first half of the twentieth century. Opening the boxes where these paintings were stored, was like opening Christmas presents. There they lay, one against the other, showing glimpses of warm color, tantalizing in variety, just waiting to be appreciated!A man with a desire for adventure, Arthur Lingquist emigrated in 1910 from Sweden to Boston, Massachusetts, with the dream of becoming a successful artist in the then flourishing art communities of Boston and Cape Ann.
