Federal house from Hudson's Proprietor period.
Edward Avedisian, artist who painted bold and bright, dies at 71... (he) helped establish the hotly colored but emotionally cool abstract painting that succeeded Abstract Expressionism in the early 1960s... and lived in Hudson, N.Y.

That's the former residence of noted painter Edward Avedisian and his partner Judson, early "pioneers" but stern critics of the New Hudson; both died in the last few years. (Edward's son has it on the market.) The interior was amazingly strange when they lived there (pics somewhere on my Facebook page). If you look along the basement windows, one of them used to have a silhouette of a black cat painted on it, but that may be gone.
Carrie Haddad and Mark McDonald have some of his paintings (which are also in the Whitney and Modern) in their shops. Edward was the real deal as an artist, and also very cranky. He was a surprisingly great neighbor considering that he professed to hate everything and everyone.
