ABOUT

The Industrialist's Brush is the culmination of a years long project to bring my grandfather's watercolor art together into a book.   A process which required finding as many paintings as I could, photographing them, and making sense of the stories shared with me along the way.

​

Harry's artwork reflects a period of great change to Chester County's beautiful landscape. Many views no longer exist, some changed forever, but a precious few are captured forever by Harry Cann for us to enjoy today.
