ANDREW WYETH: MAINE DRAWINGS HADLOCK GALLERY MARCH 18, 2017 - FEBRUARY 2019 DRAWINGS ARE A LITTLE-SEEN BUT VITAL ASPECT OF ANDREW WYETH'S WORK. FROM HIS EARLIEST STIRRINGS AS AN ARTIST, WYETH MADE PENCIL SKETCHES, AND UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF HIS FATHER, FAMED ILLUSTRATOR N.C. WYETH, BECAME A GIFTED DRAFTSMAN. HIS DRAWINGS WERE SOMETIMES SIMPLE OBSERVATIONS OF THE WORLD AROUND HIM, OR ELEMENTS OF SPACE AND PERSPECTIVE IN THE SCENE BEFORE HIM, BUT OFTEN THEY WERE A PART OF A CAREFUL AND OFTEN EXTENSIVE PREPARATION FOR MAKING PAINTINGS. THIS EXHIBITION EXPLORES THE RANGE AND SCOPE OF WYETH'S DRAWINGS OVER THE COURSE OF HIS CAREER. PRIMARILY FROM THE COLLECTION OF ANDREW AND BETSY WYETH, THEY OFFER A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE WORK OF ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST TALENTED DRAFTSMEN. ANDREW WYETH: DR. SYN WYETH STUDY CENTER MARCH 25 - SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 IN MAKING HIS 1963 TEMPERA PAINTING, HER ROOM, AND HIS 1981 TEMPERA DR. SYN, ANDREW WYETH EMPLOYED HIS LONG-STANDING WORKING METHOD OF MAKING STUDY AFTER STUDY AS PART OF DETERMINING WHAT HIS FINISHED PAINTING WAS TO BE. FOR HER ROOM, ACQUIRED BY THE FARNSWORTH IN 1964, THE ARTIST MADE NUMEROUS DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLORS, RECORDING HIS OBSERVATIONS OF THE INTERIOR'S SPACE, ITS WINDOWS, AND ITS FURNISHINGS. SIMILARLY, FOR DR. SYN, IN THE COLLECTION OF ANDREW AND BETSY WYETH, THE ARTIST CREATED MANY SUCH DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLORS, OFTEN DEVOTED TO DETERMINING WHAT THE FINAL COMPOSITION WOULD BE AS WELL AS THE DETAILS OF THE SKELETAL FIGURE'S COSTUME. BOTH EXHIBITIONS EXAMINE THE ARTIST'S FASTIDIOUS WORKING PROCESS, AND DR. SYN WILL INCLUDE THE VERY COSTUME DEPICTED IN THE PAINTING, AND OTHER ARTIFACTS SEEN IN THE PAINTING. ANDREW WYETH: MAINE WATERCOLORS, 1938-2008 WYETH CENTER, UPPER GALLERY APRIL 15 - DECEMBER 31, 2017 THE DEMANDING MEDIUM OF WATERCOLOR WAS A CENTRAL ASPECT OF ANDREW WYETH'S WORK THROUGHOUT HIS LONG AND PRODUCTIVE CAREER. HIS FIRST EXHIBITION IN 1937 AT NEW YORK'S MACBETH GALLERY CONSISTED OF TWENTY-FIVE WATERCOLORS - ALL OF WHICH SOLD OUT ON THE SHOW'S FIRST DAY, LAUNCHING THE ARTIST'S CAREER. INSPIRED EARLY ON BY THE WORK OF THE GREATEST WATERCOLORIST OF AN EARLIER GENERATION, WINSLOW HOMER, WYETH MADE WATERCOLORS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. THIS EXHIBITION FOCUSES ON HIS WATERCOLORS FROM AS EARLY AS 1938 UP TO 2008, INCLUDING A STUDY FOR GOODBYE, MY LOVE, THE ARTIST'S LAST WORK. THE EXHIBITION INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY THIRTY OF WYETH'S RARELY-SEEN WATERCOLORS, ALL FROM THE COLLECTION OF ANDREW AND BETSY WYETH. THE OLSON HOUSE: PHOTOGRAPHERS' MUSE WYETH CENTER, LOWER GALLERY APRIL 15 - OCTOBER 29, 2017 THE OLSON HOUSE, A WEATHERED SALTWATER FARM ON THE CUSHING PENINSULA, WAS THE INSPIRATION OF SOME 300 WORKS BY ANDREW WYETH, MOST NOTABLY HIS ICONIC 1948 PAINTING, CHRISTINA'S WORLD. THE HOUSE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS, HOWEVER, WERE AN INSPIRATION NOT JUST TO WYETH, BUT ALSO TO PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO HAVE SOUGHT TO CAPTURE ITS DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER. THIS EXHIBITION FEATURES THE WORK OF A SELECTION OF THEM, AMONG THEM NATIONALLY RENOWNED PHOTOGRAPHERS PAUL CAPONIGRO AND GEORGE TICE. THE SHOW ALSO INCLUDES WORKS BY PHOTOJOURNALISTS KOSTI RUOHOMAA AND JAMES MOORE OF CHRISTINA AND ALVARO OLSON, AND ANDREW WYETH, AS WELL AS WORKS BY LINDA CONNOR, TILLMAN CRANE, BRADBURY PRESCOTT, PETER RALSTON, BRIAN VANDEN BRINK, AND EVA ZEMBROWSKI. STORIES OF THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE CROSMAN GALLERY MAY 21 - JUNE 18, 2017 MARGUERITE ZORACH: AN ART FILLED LIFE MOREHOUSE (MICAH, SAM, TIM) JUNE 17, 2017 THROUGH JANUARY 7, 2018 MARGUERITE THOMPSON ZORACH (1887-1968) WAS A PIONEERING FEMALE MODERNIST. AS AN ARTIST, MOTHER, HOMEMAKER AND FREQUENT BREADWINNER, HER IDEAS OFTEN DOMINATED THE ARTISTIC PARTNERSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND, SCULPTOR WILLIAM ZORACH. IN TUNE WITH THE NATURAL, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH SHE THRIVED, YET INNOVATIVE IN THE DIRECTIONS SHE TOOK IN HER CREATIVE PURSUITS, MARGUERITE ZORACH LED AN ART-INFUSED LIFE. HER LIFE AND TIMES WILL BE EXPLORED THROUGH HER PAINTINGS, TEXTILES AND WRITINGS, WHAT SHE COLLECTED AND SURROUNDED HERSELF WITH IN HER EVERYDAY LIFE, AND WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND. HER IDEAS DEVELOPED ACROSS DIFFERENT MEDIA, WITH WORK THAT OFTEN ERASED ARTIFICIAL BARRIERS BETWEEN THE DECORATIVE AND FINE ARTS. HER CORE WORKS BETWEEN 1910 AND 1945 REVEAL HER PROMINENT ROLE AMONG HER CONTEMPORARIES WITHIN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT, AND WITHIN THE IDEALISM FOUND IN THE ART OF THE NEW DEAL ERA, AS HER WORK, WITH BOTH ITS FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACT LEANINGS, EVOLVED. THIS EXHIBITION IS A RETROSPECTIVE OF MARGUERITE ZORACH'S SINGULAR RANGE OF TALENTS AS PAINTER, DESIGNER AND TEXTILE ARTIST, AND RECONSIDERS HER STILL UNDERAPPRECIATED POSITION WITHIN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICAN MODERNISM. THE EXHIBITION WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BOOK-LENGTH, FULLY ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE PUBLISHED BY THE MUSEUM, WITH ESSAYS BY ASSOCIATE CURATOR AND EXHIBITION ORGANIZER JANE BIANCO, TEXTILE SPECIALIST CYNTHIA FOWLER, AND ART HISTORIAN AND SPECIALIST IN AMERICAN MODERNISM, BETSY FAHLMAN. BLACK AND WHITE: LOUISE NEVELSON/PEDRO GUERERRO CROSMAN GALLERY JULY 8, 2017 - APRIL 2, 2018 LOUISE NEVELSON (1899-1988) IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SCULPTORS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, WHOSE WOOD SCULPTURES, PAINTED IN BLACK OR WHITE, REVOLUTIONIZED ARTISTS' IDEAS OF WHAT SCULPTURE COULD BE. THIS EXHIBITION WILL FEATURE SIGNATURE EXAMPLES OF THESE WORKS, DRAWN FROM THE FARNSWORTH'S COLLECTION, THE SECOND LARGEST COLLECTION OF NEVELSON'S WORK IN THE WORLD. SOME OF THESE WORKS REFLECT THE ARTIST'S INTERESTS IN CREATING ENVIRONMENTS, IN WHICH HER HOME AND STUDIO WERE LABORATORIES FOR HER INNOVATIONS. NEVELSON'S HOME AND STUDIO WERE CAPTURED BY A SERIES OF ARRESTING BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS BY PEDRO E. GUERRERO (1917-2012) TAKEN IN 1978 AND 1979. GUERRERO, A RENOWNED ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHER IS PERHAPS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS IMAGES OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDINGS WHICH BROUGHT HIM TO NATIONAL ATTENTION. GUERRERO'S PHOTOGRAPHS OF NEVELSON IN HER HOME AND STUDIO, IN COMBINATION WITH EXAMPLES OF HER SCULPTURE, OFFER A CAPTIVATING LOOK AT HER LIFE AND WORK. ANDREW WYETH: HER ROOM HADLOCK GALLERY SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 - MARCH 25, 2018 IN MAKING HIS 1963 TEMPERA PAINTING, HER ROOM, AND HIS 1981 TEMPERA DR. SYN, ANDREW WYETH EMPLOYED HIS LONG-STANDING WORKING METHOD OF MAKING STUDY AFTER STUDY BEFORE DECIDING ON WHAT HE WANTED HIS PAINTINGS TO BE. IN HER ROOM, ACQUIRED BY THE FARNSWORTH IN 1964, THE ARTIST MADE NUMEROUS DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLORS, RECORDING HIS OBSERVATIONS OF THE INTERIOR'S SPACE, ITS WINDOWS, AND ITS FURNISHINGS. SIMILARLY, IN DR. SYN, IN THE COLLECTION OF ANDREW AND BETSY WYETH, THE ARTIST CREATED MANY SUCH DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLORS, OFTEN DEVOTED TO DETERMINING WHAT THE FINAL COMPOSITION WOULD BE AS WELL AS THE DETAILS OF THE SKELETAL FIGURE'S COSTUME. BOTH EXHIBITIONS EXAMINE THE ARTIST'S FASTIDIOUS WORKING PROCESS, AND DR. SYN WILL INCLUDE THE VERY COSTUME DEPICTED IN THE PAINTING, AND OTHER ARTIFACTS SEEN IN THE PAINTING.
