The Scenes and Seasons of a Small New England Village

Known for his beautiful paper mosaic and collage art, the artist has brought to life a small New England village, from the initial settlement to the present day. With over 40 contributing artists, poets, and writers, Mr. Haug has produced an original and beautiful history of the village of East Princeton in central Massachusetts. The book features thirty cut paper mosaic and collage paintings by the award winning artist with an equal number by other contributing artists.
The fine art images, in a variety of media, are the work of talented area artists; almost all were created specifically for this perfect-bound book. The images and writings provide glimpses of village history and its beautiful surroundings. Some of the paintings are based on old photographs, while others spring from the imagination of the artists. All of the poems and essays were written by local poets and writers and bring the events of the past and present alive. Vintage photographs, historical documents, and present-day aerial views are included. Anyone who enjoys the landscape and history of New England will enjoy the portrait of this small charming village.

"An imaginative and heartfelt evocation ... a finely wrought portrait of the idiosyncratic history and personality of this place, and its power to inspire those who dwell within it." - Michael Steinitz, Director, Preservation Planning Division, Massachusetts Historical Commission
