Zouté's Wife's Paintings

Back to Painting Index

Mike took us out to Zouté country in an effort to track down some of his reletives and possibly buy some more paintings. It didn't work out. I think the famaily viewed Zouté as somewhat of a nut. Zouté had a Henry Moore sculpture in his yard. He traveled widely and corresponded with some of the world's top artists. His painting style was many years ahead of his time. These photos above were taken in the mid forties.

Below is Zouté's house in North Rose. It's still there but Zouté is gone. He died in 1972.

Let's go inside the Zouté home.

The sign above says "New York Sugar Industries Inc., Montezuma, New York, Manufacturers of Quality Sugar." It's one of many food procesing plants east of Rochester along the Lake Ontario, orchard lined shore. This is where Zouté's family made his money.
