Oliver Chaffee

Gifted with extraordinary instincts, Oliver Chaffee embraced the work of Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, and other French Fauvists and made it his own. Fellow artist Ross Moffet said of Chaffee: “Chaffee oils and watercolor landscapes represent one of the highest achievements realized by a Provincetown painter. He was modern before modernism was popular.” Chaffee was among the most instrumental figures in establishing Provincetown, Massachusetts, as the one of the country’s most influential art colonies.
