A few weeks ago when covering the reopening of The Haggin Museum in Stockton, I saw something that I hadn’t noticed in my many visits before. In the museum’s Haggin Gallery there is printed a quote high up on a wall by writer Emile Zola: “The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without the work.”
Incoming CEO Susan Obert says the quote is one of three that were added to the museum’s three principal galleries as part of a redesign in 2017.
“Each quote was selected for their feel, message and expansion of the layers of stories we wanted to share,” Obert said. “The Zola quote is so much broader than artists and creatives, but the dedication to the ‘work’ is what so many of the artists in our galleries were recognized for.”
