it originally being seen as a necessity by some, the abstraction of the musical museum is shown, in some ways, to negatively impact the musical world.

The work was the Portrait of Mrs. Helen McCoy Storer, c. 1910 by Charles Alden Gray (1857-1933). While arguably not by one of the most well-known artists in our collection, it was, at that moment, the most…
