Henderson, Hunt (American industrialist and collector, died 1939)
|
Note: Sugar magnate. formed the first collection in the South of the French Impressionists, with multiple examples by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and others. Henderson was an original trustee of the Delgado and generously lent his collection for the opening of the Museum. But once Henderson became interested in avant-garde artists like Picasso, Braque, and Georgia O'Keeffe, Woodward told him that he was wasting his money on worthless daubs. Henderson resigned from the board and still had not reconciled with the Museum by the time of his death in 1939, just four months after Woodward's demise. |
