FOLDING SCREENS WERE ESPECIALLY POPULAR IN THE LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES, SERVING TYPICALLY AS ROOM DIVIDERS AND OFTEN USED BY THEIR OWNERS TO DRESS OR UNDRESS BEHIND. PROMINENT ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, AND DESIGNERS IN BOTH EUROPE AND AMERICA EXPERIMENTED WITH THE FORMAT, INCLUDING JAMES MCNEILL WHISTLER, THOMAS DEWING, LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY, THOMAS HART BENTON, DONALD DESKEY, ANSEL ADAMS, JIM DINE, HELEN FRANKENTHALER, ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG, AND DAVID HOCKNEY, AMONG MANY. THE MUSEUM'S TWO SCREENS SERVED AS A DEPARTURE POINT FOR THIS EXHIBITION, SEEKING SUBMISSIONS BY MAINE ARTISTS TO CREATE THEIR OWN FOLDING SCREENS. A JURY OF PROMINENT ARTISTS AND CURATORS SELECTED PROPOSALS BY GUGI AEA AND OWAIN HARRIS, ALLA BROEKSMIT, ALISON DAVIS, LAURIE DOWNEY AND RYAN RHOADES, SUSAN LEVETT, AND JOHANNA MOORE. ANDREW WYETH: WITCHES, GHOSTS, AND MISCHIEF SEPT 21, 2019-APRIL 12, 2020HADLOCK GALLERY AT THE END OF EACH SUMMER ANDREW WYETH ENGAGED WITH MAINE'S SHIFTING SEASONS. RESPONDING TO THE ANNUAL CYCLE OF DEATH AND REBIRTH WYETH BLENDED CAREFULLY OBSERVED DETAILS WITH HIS IMAGINATION AND MEMORY. MANY OF THE RESULTING PAINTINGS OF STORMS, WET LEAVES, AND PECULIAR FIGURES BECAME INFUSED WITH AN EERINESS THAT CAN LEAVE VIEWERS UNSETTLED AND QUESTIONING. "OFTENTIMES PEOPLE WILL LIKE A PICTURE I PAINT BECAUSE IT'S MAYBE THE SUN HITTING ON THE SIDE OF A WINDOW AND THEY CAN ENJOY IT PURELY FOR ITSELF. IT REMINDS THEM OF SOME AFTERNOON. BUT FOR ME, BEHIND THAT PICTURE COULD BE A NIGHT OF MOONLIGHT WHEN I'VE BEEN IN SOME HOUSE IN MAINE, A NIGHT OF SOME TERRIBLE TENSION, OR I HAD THIS STRANGE MOOD. MAYBE IT WAS HALLOWEEN. IT'S ALL THERE, HIDING BEHIND THE REALISTIC SIDE." (P. 205, UNKNOWN TERRAIN)THE DRAMA AND EXCITEMENT OF HALLOWEEN EXHILARATED WYETH WHO REVELED IN THE SCARECROWS, PUMPKINS, COSTUMES, AND PRANKS OF THE NIGHT WHEN SPIRITS OF THE DEAD CAN SUPPOSEDLY MINGLE WITH THE LIVING. EQUALLY ATTRACTED TO THE FICTITIOUS DR. JEKYLL AND DRACULA AS TO THE ACTUAL GRUESOME HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLES THAT OCCURRED IN HIS OWN PENNSYLVANIA BACKYARD, WYETH COMBINED REALITY AND FANTASY IN HIS PAINTINGS. ANDREW WYETH: WORLD WAR IMARCH 23 LATE 2019WYETH STUDY CENTER GALLERYTHIS EXHIBITION OF WATERCOLORS AND TEMPERAS AFFORDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW ANDREW WYETH'S CHILDHOOD INTEREST IN WORLD WAR I, FUELED BY CHRISTMAS GIFTS OF TOY SOLDIERS, BECAME A LIFE-LONG SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. BORN IN 1917, WYETH WAS TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER THE WAR BUT IT BECAME REAL TO HIM TO THINGS IN HIS FATHER'S STUDIO. N.C. WYETH PAINTED SEVERAL LARGE-SCALE CANVASES OF WORLD WAR I SUBJECTS, AND COLLECTED UNIFORMS, WEAPONS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR SOURCE MATERIAL. HE ALSO WATCHED KING VIDOR'S EPIC 1925 SILENT FILM ABOUT AN AMERICAN SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCES FIGHTING IN FRANCE, THE BIG PARADE, OVER AND OVER. AS AN ADULT, WYETH BEFRIENDS REAL LIFE SOLDIERIES LINING NEAR HIS HOMES IN CHADDS FORD, PENNSYLVANIA, AND IN CUSHING, MAINE. HE MET FARMER KARL KUERNER IN CHADDS FORD AND DEPICTED HIM THE AGING SOLDER IN THE GERMAN AND PINE BARRON, STUDY. HE ALSO MET RALPH CLINE AT HIS SAWMILL IN SPRUCE HEAD, MAINE, AND DEPICTED HIM IN THE PATRIOT.SLAB CITY RENDEZVOUSAPRIL 13, 2019 MARCH 15, 2020CROSMAN GALLERY IN THE YEARS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE END OF WORLD WAR II, A GROUP OF YOUNG, AVANT-GARDE ARTISTS BASED IN NEW YORK DISCOVERED, LIKE GENERATIONS OF ARTISTS BEFORE THEM, THE PLEASURES OF SUMMERING AND WORKING IN MAINE. THE PAINTERS ALEX KATZ, HIS WIFE JEAN COHEN, AND THEIR FRIEND LOIS DODD, WHO OWNED A HOUSE ON SLAB CITY ROAD IN LINCOLNVILLE, WERE AMONG THE FIRST. THEY WERE SOON FOLLOWED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND FILMMAKER RUDY BURCKHARDT AND HIS WIFE, PAINTER YVONNE JACQUETTE. THE MULTI-TALENTED PAINTER-SCULPTOR-INSTALLATION ARTIST RED GROOMS CAME HERE WITH HIS WIFE, THE PAINTER MIMI GROSS, AND PAINTER RACKSTRAW DOWNES SOON FOLLOWED. NEIL WELLIVER WAS AN EXCEPTION TO THIS GATHERING OF SUMMER RESIDENT ARTISTS, CHOOSING INSTEAD TO LIVE HERE YEAR-ROUND, COMMUTING TO PHILADELPHIA TO TEACH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. WHAT THEY FOUND IN AND AROUND THE MIDCOAST VILLAGE OF LINCOLNVILLE WAS A SIMPLE LIFESTYLE THAT OFFERED A WELCOME RESPITE FROM THE OFTEN FRENETIC PACE AND ALL-ABSORBING NATURE OF LIFE IN NEW YORK. AN ADDED BENEFIT WAS THAT IT WAS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE TO LIVE HERE, IMPORTANT TO ARTISTS AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THEIR CAREERS WHEN FINANCIAL SECURITY WAS SOMETHING SOUGHT BUT FAR FROM A REALITY. IMPORTANTLY, THEY ALSO FOUND ATTRACTIVE SUBJECT MATTER FOR THEIR WORK. SEEKING AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST STYLES THAT DOMINATED CRITICAL CIRCLES IN NEW YORK, MAINE'S COASTS, ISLANDS, WOODLANDS, AND PEOPLE PROVIDED THE ARTISTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO FORGE NEW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THEIR LARGELY REPRESENTATIONAL WORK BASED ON WHAT THEY SAW AND EXPERIENCED HERE. WHAT THEY CREATED OVER THE COURSE OF THE FOLLOWING DECADES WAS A BODY OF WORK THAT HELPED EACH OF THEM ESTABLISH NATIONAL REPUTATIONS. MOST, LIKE KATZ, DODD, DOWNES, BURCKHARDT, JACQUETTE, AND WELLIVER MADE THEIR WORK IN MAINE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THEIR OEUVRE; WHILE FOR GROOMS IT WAS A SPRINGBOARD FOR A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL CAREER LESS DEFINED BY WHERE HIS WORK WAS DONE.

FOR HER, WRITING POETRY WAS AN EARLY MEANS TO EXPRESSION. CURRENTLY, KNITTING IS HER CREATIVE PATHWAY, A MIND-TO-HAND WORK THAT SHE ADAPTED FOR UNUSUAL MATERIALS AS A MEANS OF CONSTRUCTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL FORMS. BASIC GESTURES OF KNITTING, UNCOMPLICATED KNIT AND PURL STITCHES ARE THE ESSENTIAL ALPHABET, THE BUILDING BLOCKS THAT GIVE SHAPE TO COBEY'S MATERIALS AND IDEAS. 600318 68295 EDUCATION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS - SEE SCHEDULE O EDUCATION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTSTHE FARNSWORTH'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFER NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION, EXHIBITIONS, LIBRARY AND HISTORIC SITES THROUGH THE MULTITUDE OF PROGRAMS OFFERED BY THE EDUCATION STAFF.
