GIVEN HIS FIRST CAMERA AT THE AGE OF ELEVEN, PORTER BEGAN CHALLENGING HIMSELF FIRST BY PHOTOGRAPHING BIRDS, FIRST AROUND HIS WINETKA HOME AND THEN AT THE FAMILY'S SUMMER HOME ON GREAT SPRUCE HEAD ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF DEER ISLE IN MAINE'S PENOBSCOT BAY. HE GAVE UP A CAREER AS A MEDICAL RESEARCHER IN ORDER TO DEVOTE HIMSELF TO HIS ART ENCOURAGED BY A SUCCESSFUL ONE-PERSON EXHIBITION OF HIS BLACK AND WHITE WORK AT ALFRED STIEGLITZ'S RENOWNED AN AMERICAN PLACE GALLERY IN NEW YORK. HIS PASSION FOR NATURE IN ALL ITS COLORS LED HIM TO TEACH HIMSELF THE DYE TRANSFER PROCESS, BECOMING ONE OF THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHERS TO DEVOTE HIMSELF FULL TIME TO COLOR, AND GAINING TWO GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION GRANTS IN THE PROCESS. HIS LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS DREW HIM TO THE WRITINGS OF HENRY DAVID THOREAU, AND TO CREATING PHOTOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATIONS OF CERTAIN THOREAU PASSAGES WORK THAT CULMINATED IN HIS FIRST BOOK WITH THE SIERRA CLUB, IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD. HE TRAVELLED BETWEEN NEW ENGLAND AND THE SOUTHWEST, TO CALIFORNIA AND THE BAJA PENINSULA, TO THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS AND TO AFRICA, FOCUSING INCREASINGLY ON NATURE'S DETAILS, BECOMING A POWERFUL ADVOCATE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. HIS TWENTY-SIX PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTFOLIOS AND BOOKS MADE OVER HIS LIFETIME HAVE BROUGHT HIS LUSH PORTRAYALS OF NATURE'S DETAILS TO THE APPRECIATION OF ADVENTURERS AND ENVIRONMENTALISTS. THE FARNSWORTH'S COLLECTION OF ELIOT PORTER PHOTOGRAPHS WAS EXPANDED IN 2017 DUE TO A GENEROUS GIFT OF THREE PORTFOLIOS CONSISTING OF TWENTY-EIGHT DYE TRANSFER PRINTS FROM THE FRIENDS OF THE FARNSWORTH COLLECTION, A MUSEUM SUPPORT GROUP THAT PROVIDES FUNDS FOR ACQUISITIONS. THIS EXHIBITION AND THE ACCOMPANYING CATALOGUE WERE PREPARED BY CURATOR JANE BIANCO. TRANSFORMING THE ORDINARY: WOMEN IN AMERICAN BOOK COVER DESIGN LIBRARY GALLERY THROUGH MARCH 6, 2022 TRANSFORMING THE ORDINARY: WOMEN IN AMERICAN BOOK COVER DESIGN EXAMINES THE HEYDAY OF BOOK COVER DESIGN FROM THE 1890S THROUGH THE 1930S, A TIME OF GREAT ARTISTIC EXPERIMENTATION INFLUENCED BY THE AESTHETICS OF THE ART NOUVEAU AND THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENTS. DURING THIS PERIOD, WOMEN CREATED THOUSANDS OF BOOK COVER DESIGNS FOR THE MASS MARKET, FROM SIMPLE ONE-COLOR STAMPED DESIGNS TO MORE ELABORATE MULTI-COLOR DESIGNS, SOME WHICH WERE STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART IN AND OF THEMSELVES. ORGANIZED BY REGISTRAR ANGELA WALDRON AND DRAWN PRIMARILY FROM THE LIBRARY'S COLLECTION, THE DECORATIVE COVERS FEATURED IN THE PRESENTATION ARE BY SOME OF THE BEST KNOWN AND MOST PROLIFIC COVER DESIGNERS OF THE PERIOD, SUCH AS MARGARET ARMSTRONG, AMY SACKER, BERTHA STUART, SARAH WYMAN WHITMAN, AND THE DECORATIVE DESIGNERS. BETSY WYETH: PARTNER AND MUSE WYETH STUDY CENTER GALLERY MARCH 20, 2021 MAY 8, 2022 BETSY JAMES WYETH (19212020) PASSED AWAY LAST SPRING AT THE AGE OF NINETY-EIGHT, AND THIS EXHIBITION FEATURES A SELECTION OF PORTRAITS DRAWN AND PAINTED BY HER HUSBAND, ANDREW. BETSY WAS HIS MOST TRUSTED CRITIC, BUSINESS MANAGER, AND MUSE. SHE WAS ALSO A MOTHER, AUTHOR, FILMMAKER, AND ARCHIVIST, AND SHE OFTEN SELECTED THE TITLES FOR ANDREW'S PAINTINGS. HE SAID THAT "SHE MADE ME SEE MORE CLEARLY WHAT I WANTED, AND THAT "BETSY GALVANIZED ME AT THE TIME I NEEDED IT. SHE'S MADE ME INTO A PAINTER I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OTHERWISE." BETSY APPEARS IN ANDREW'S PAINTINGS FROM THE SUMMER THEY MET, IN 1939, TO THE SUMMER BEFORE HIS DEATH, IN 2009. DEPICTING BETSY AS CURIOUS, CONFIDENT, AND DETERMINED, THE WORKS IN THIS SHOW, DRAWN FROM THE COUPLE'S PERSONAL COLLECTION, OFFER A GLIMPSE INTO BETSY'S LIFE RARELY SEEN OUTSIDE HER FAMILY CIRCLE. BETSY'S INTEREST IN ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY, ISLANDS, COOKING, BIRDWATCHING, AND KNITTING ARE EVIDENT IN THESE WORKS AND IN MANY OF ANDREW'S OTHER PAINTINGS. BETSY'S GIFT: THE WORKS OF N.C., ANDREW, AND JAMIE WYETH HADLOCK GALLERY MARCH 27, 2021 MAY 8, 2022 UPON HER PASSING IN 2020, BETSY WYETH LEFT THE FARNSWORTH ART MUSEUM TWENTY-SEVEN WORKS BY THE THREE GENERATIONS OF WYETH ARTISTS: FIVE PAINTINGS AND ONE DRAWING BY N.C. WYETH, HER FATHER-IN-LAW; TWO WATERCOLORS BY ANDREW WYETH, HER HUSBAND; AND SEVEN PAINTINGS AND TWELVE WORKS ON PAPER BY JAMIE, HER AND ANDY'S SON. TOGETHER, THESE WORKS SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE THE MUSEUM'S ALREADY NATIONALLY RENOWNED COLLECTION OF WORKS BY THIS IMPORTANT GROUP OF AMERICAN ARTISTS. THIS EXHIBITION IS DEDICATED TO BETSY WYETH'S LONG-TIME SUPPORT OF THE FARNSWORTH. WOMEN OF VISION ROTHSCHILD GALLERY APRIL 17, 2021 MARCH 6, 2022 THIS EXHIBITION CELEBRATES THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THIRTEEN WOMEN, PAST AND PRESENT ARTISTS, WRITERS, AND PHILANTHROPISTS WHO HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO MAINE'S ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL LIFE. THEY INCLUDE THE MUSEUM'S FOUNDER, LUCY COPELAND FARNSWORTH; ARTISTS BERENICE ABBOTT, KATHARINE BRADFORD, CIG HARVEY LOUISE NEVELSON, MOLLY NEPTUNE PARKER, AND MARGUERITE ZORACH; POET EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY; AND PHILANTHROPISTS LINDA BEAN, EDITH R. DIXON, ELIZABETH B. NOYCE, MAUREEN ROTHSCHILD, AND PHYLLIS WYETH. THE SHOW WILL INCLUDE EXAMPLES OF THE ARTISTS' WORKS AS WELL AS WORKS GIVEN BY THEM. THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS WILL ALSO BE RECOGNIZED IN SUMMER 2021 AS RECIPIENTS OF THE MAINE IN AMERICA AWARD, GIVEN ANNUALLY BY THE FARNSWORTH ART MUSEUM. ROBERT INDIANA: THE HARTLEY ELEGIES CROSMAN GALLERY MAY 29, 2021 THROUGH MARCH 27, 2022 THIS EXHIBITION FEATURES TEN SILKSCREEN PRINTS BY ROBERT INDIANA (1928-2018), ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST KNOWN PAINTERS AND SCULPTORS OF THE POP ART GENERATION. THESE PRINTS, ALONG WITH EIGHTEEN RELATED PAINTINGS, ARE KNOWN AS THE HARTLEY ELEGIES. DONE BETWEEN 1989 AND 1994 THEY WERE INSPIRED BY THE WORK OF THE PROMINENT AMERICAN MODERNIST MARSDEN HARTLEY (1877-1946). THEY REFER TO A SERIES OF PAINTINGS HARTLEY DID BETWEEN 1914 AND 1915 WHILE HE WAS IN BERLIN, CONSIDERED AMONG THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS IN HIS CAREER THAT ESTABLISHED HIS PLACE AMONG AMERICAN AVANT-GARDE ARTISTS AS THEY EXPERIMENTED WITH THE NEW LANGUAGE OF ABSTRACTION. HAVING DISCOVERED THAT HARTLEY SPENT PART OF THE SUMMER OF 1938 IN A BUILDING NEAR HIS OWN HOME AND STUDIO ON VINALHAVEN, INDIANA DECIDED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HARTLEY'S WORK. HE EVENTUALLY FOCUSED ON HIS SO-CALLED WAR MOTIF PAINTINGS THAT HE DID IN MEMORY OF HIS FRIEND AND PRESUMED LOVER, KARL VON FREYBURG, KILLED IN OCTOBER 1914 AFTER JOINING THE GERMAN ARMY SHORTLY AFTER WORLD WAR I BROKE OUT IN EUROPE. INSPIRED BY THESE WORKS, INDIANA EMBARKED ON HIS OWN COMMEMORATIVE SERIES OF PAINTINGS AND SILKSCREEN PRINTS. DONE IN RECTANGULAR, DIAMOND, AND TONDO FORMAT, THESE TWENTY-EIGHT WORKS WERE A HOMAGE TO HARTLEY, WITH WHOM HE FELT A STRONG CONNECTION. THE TEN LARGE-SCALE SILKSCREEN PRINTS OF INDIANA'S HARTLEY ELEGIES COMPRISE A VISUAL POEM ON THE TWO ARTISTS' SHARED INTERESTS IN RADICAL FORMAL VOCABULARIES, AND THEIR INNOVATIVE COMBINATIONS OF WORDS AND NUMBERS INTO THEIR BOLDLY COLORED GEOMETRIC COMPOSITIONS. THEY WERE ALSO A CODED COMMENTARY ON THEIR LIVES AS GAY MEN, AS WELL AS THEIR EXPERIENCES OF LIVING AND WORKING IN MAINE AFTER LEAVING THE ARTISTIC CENTER OF NEW YORK THAT EARLIER HAD NOURISHED THEIR CAREERS. INDIANA PRINTS IN THIS EXHIBITION WERE A GIFT OF THE FRIENDS OF THE FARNSWORTH COLLECTION, A GROUP THAT PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE MUSEUM TO ACQUIRE WORKS FOR THE COLLECTION; AND OF THE SUROVEK PRINT GALLERY IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA GEORGE TICE / ANDREW WYETH: PARALLEL VISIONS LOWER GALLERY, WYETH CENTER JUNE 12 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2021 IN 1970 AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER GEORGE TICE CAME TO MAINE, ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN THE AREA AROUND THE MIDCOAST WHERE HE DISCOVERED THE PLACES WHERE THE OLDER PAINTER AND WATERCOLORIST ANDREW WYETH HAD BEEN WORKING SINCE THE LATE 1930S. HE CAME TO ADMIRE WYETH'S WORKS AND CHOSE SOME OF THE SAME LOCALES AND SUBJECTS FOR HIS OWN PHOTOGRAPHS. HE GRADUALLY PRODUCED A SIGNIFICANT BODY OF WORK THAT BEARS MORE THAN A SIMILARITY IN SUBJECT MATTER TO WYETH'S. THIS EXHIBITION WILL FEATURE WORKS BY TICE AND WYETH, SIDE BY SIDE, AS MEANS OF EXPLORING THE SIMILARITY AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEIR WORKS, IN COMPOSITION AS WELL AS TEMPERAMENT. THE SHOW IS THE FIRST TO EXAMINE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO NATIONALLY KNOWN AMERICAN ARTISTS, AND WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE.
