- catalog description "Edward Waldo Forbes (1873-1969) was director of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, an accomplished artist, and a world traveler. He was born into a prominent family (his parents being William Hathaway Forbes and Edith Emerson Forbes, his maternal grandfather being Ralph Waldo Emerson) in 1873 on the family-owned Naushon Island in Massachusetts. In 1907, Forbes married Margaret Laighton, a notable watercolorist and gardener; they had five children. Forbes relationship with Harvard and the arts began when he earned his Harvard A.B. 1895. He continued his studies at Oxford University, and returned to Massachusetts to form the Charles River Association, an organization dedicated to preserving Harvard's landscape. He became a trustee of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1903 and served in that capacity for 63 years. He acquired art, particularly Italian paintings; his gifts and loans to the Fogg Art Museum contributed significantly to the museum's eventual rise to worldwide prominence. In 1909, Forbes became Director of the Fogg Art Museum. During his 35 years there, he and his assistant director, Paul Sachs, oversaw the impressive growth of the Museum's collections, staff, property, and reputation. Forbes also served as a lecturer in Fine Arts at Harvard from 1909 to 1935. He was named the Martin A. Ryerson Lecturer in Fine Arts. From 1945 to 1957, Forbes was a member of the Harvard Board of Overseers.".
