Coggeshall, Susanna
Dec. 30, 1916 - April 24, 2003
Susanna Wilson Coggeshall died at her family home in Newcastle, on April 24. The daughter of Frances Perkins Wilson and Paul C. Wilson, she was born Dec. 30, 1916, in New York City.
She is survived by her son Tomlin P. Coggeshall of Newcastle; stepchildren John Coggeshall of Yardley, Penn., and Kate C. Hammatt of Kailua, Hawaii; step grandchildren, John, Kirstin, Zoe, Daniel, Jared, Sam, and seven step great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 37 years Calvert Coggeshall, an abstract expressionist artist who died in 1990 and a stepdaughter, Pleasance C. Factor, who died in 1993.
Susanna attended the Brearly School in New York and Bryn Mawr College, where she studied art history. An excellent pen and ink artist in her own right, she later studied with Jack Tworkov under whose tutelage her style evolved into complex abstract expression. She had a short career working at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art as a researcher of middle eastern art with Edith Porada, an expert on ancient mid-eastern cylinder seals.
She was a woman of high intellect with great interest in art, history, nature, and the history of religion. She was a devout Christian and found beauty and inspiration in the woods and shore of her ancestral home in Maine, in her church, in the paintings of her husband and friends, and in the found-objects with which she surrounded herself.
Her mother, Frances Perkins, was the Secretary of Labor under Franklin D. Roosevelt and first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. Susanna traveled extensively in Western Europe on the coattails of her mother’s diplomatic missions. As a young woman she fulfilled her childhood dream of meeting Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi, who was her favorite artist. On subsequent trips to Europe, she befriended and interviewed Brancusi several times during her tenure at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Based on these interviews and the insights she gained as his friend, she was working on a study of Brancusi at the time of her death.
Shortly after WW II broke out, she was among the early pioneers who signed and gathered affidavits to bring out of Europe and into the United States artists who were being persecuted for their religious or artistic interests. These artists came to New York where their influence on American painting of the day became the beginning of the New York School of painting ie., abstract expressionism. Her first husband was sculptor and photographer David Hare.
Her education, depth of knowledge, colorful personality, and sense of humor will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her name to either St. Patrick’s Church in Newcastle, or Maine Public Radio.
Service at St. Patrick’s Church in Newcastle, 1 p.m., Sat., May 3. Arrangements are under the care of Strong Funeral Home, Damariscotta.
