BENNINGTON -- Kefauver.
"Why does that name ring a bell?" Art Gallery Dude asked.
"Estes Kefauver. He was on the ticket with Adlai Stevenson," the oil painter answered.
"I wish I could have been alive to vote for Stevenson," the gallery owner said.
Will Kefauver, who is the oil painter quoted above, attended Whittier College, where Richard Nixon graduated, and it just so happens that the Stevenson-Kefauver Democratic presidential ticket of '52 lost to the GOP ticket of Eisenhower-Nixon. And again in '56.
Then the conversation switched to art, and Fiddlehead at Four Corners now features 8 of Will Kefauver's oils on linen panels and canvas.
"My daughter goes to Bennington College and I've been in Fiddlehead before," he said in the video below, "and it's a great gallery to be associated with."
