The Industrialist's Brush: A Tribute to Family Artwork in Chester County
A tribute to Chester County's artwork is celebrated in Robin Ashby's new book, The Industrialist's Brush. Ashby is the grandson of the late Harry E. Cann (1893-1974), a successful entrepreneur, a 30-year member of the Chester County Hospital Board, and a self-taught painter of West Chester, PA. Once Cann retired from the hospital board, he donated eight of his paintings that currently line the walls of the hospital. Ashby's book includes a brief biography of his grandfather's life and a celebration of the artwork he attributed to Chester County.
Ashby was generous enough to donate copies of his book to sell and display in the Women's Auxiliary Gift Shop (WAGS), located in the main lobby of our hospital. This book will serve as a reminder of the years of service Harry Cann gave to Chester County Hospital and the memory he leaves behind within his paintings.
