It was then that Elmer's talent was first rec

It was first displayed in a local post office in 1890, then disappeared until the 1950s, when a niece of the artist showed it to the director of the Smith Museum. It was then that Elmer's talent was first recognized and his paintings put on display. The poet Adrienne Rich has written a poem about Mourning Picture from the dead daughter's point of view. The picture now hangs in the Smith College Museum of Art – Northampton, Massachusetts. (en)
