Maine Events - April Art


Urban Seen - Portland Museum of Art

Mar 22 thru Aug 17, 2008. Portland. Cities nurture and provoke creative response. The density of visual experience provided by urban life has long been an inspiration for painters, printmakers, and photographers. This exhibition explores artistic responses to the serendipities of city life in Portland and other metropolitan environments from the mid-19th century to the present. Drawn predominantly from the permanent collection, Urban Seen presents more than 20 paintings, prints, and photographs that document, interpret, and idealize monuments, buildings, streetscapes, and neighborhoods' visions that capture the scale of life in the American city.
