"The word quality has become a nasty word and is thought to be the wrong category to focus on," Thaw told an interviewer in 2007 at the Cleveland Museum of Art. "I've never agreed with that."
The New York art dealer Eugene V. Thaw also collected privately for himself throughout the course of a long career. One area of interest was European landscapes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, many occupying the halfway territory between sketches and conventionally finished paintings. The creators of these works were seemingly united in some sort of futile endeavor to disregard the dawning Industrial Revolution. Images are made available by the Metropolitan Museum. The Thaw Collection is now jointly owned by the Metropolitan Museum and the Morgan Library.
