The sale spans his entire productive output beginning in 1935 when Hatch was just 16, to Yale, WWII, his tenure at the University of New Hampshire (1949-1985) as well as after his retirement.

Figure studies and portraits, scenes of the South Pacific in World War II, still lives, mural studies, modernism, abstracts and landscapes will be available.  Isles of Shoals, Monhegan Island, Durham, China Maine, Manila, Cuba, Connecticut coastline, White Mountains, New York City and Canada are just a sampling of locations which will be available.

Auction estimates for the works range from $40 to $6,000 so there will fine quality works for people at every budget. 

A lecture preceding the auction, from 11:30 am until noon, will be given by Sam Cady, a former student of Mr. Hatch’s. “He was a wonderful mix of jokester and sage,” Cady said, “a man who loved people and loved teaching. Many artists teach by necessity, and resent what they see as a drain on their creative energies. But John found great fulfillment both as an artist and a teacher.”
