Nancy Cecil was a Schöngeist and a pragmatic Yankee, both an aesthete as well as an upright spirit. Visiting her on the top of Lynden St. was always a bracing experience, in which over a glass of wine and delicious macarons deep topics related to the arts as well as to society and culture were discussed and sometimes subverted by Nancy’s wonderful (and slightly wicked) sense of humor. Her remaining paintings attest without question to her talent as an artist. Without snobbery, and yet representing the best of an elite, she will be sorely missed. God bless, Mrs. Cecil!
