, who as a young aspiring painter traveled in the early 1900s to Giverny, France. There Burrage trained her eye on the landscape, creating oil paintings and filling sketchbooks with her Impressionist style. She wrote copious letters to her family back in Maine, detailing her adventures and providing vivid accounts of the artists, dealers, and distinguished figures whom she encountered, including French artistic legend Claude Monet and avid collectors Gertrude and Leo Stein. While Burrage was a prolific artist up until her death, this exhibition will celebrate these crucial, formative years (1909-1914) when she traveled abroad and was introduced and exposed to modern European movements. Comprised of approximately 70 works of art, including paintings, drawings, and never-before-exhibited letters, this exhibition will reflect a unique time of innocence, ebullience, and optimism in Mildred Burrage's life and career, and in the American and European psyche before the onset of the First World War.

7 Congress Square
Portland,
Maine
04101
Phone: (207) 775-6148
 - Portland Museum of Art&p[summary]=The northern coast of France, and Normandy in particular, proved to be an artistic crucible for French and American painters during the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. Geographically convenient to Paris, accessible by train, with dramatic cliffs and rock formations, and picturesque and active ports, Normandy was an attractive haven. Realists, Impressionists, Neo-Impressionists, Fauves, Cubists, and Surrealists all gravitated to the area.

Black.

Maine Sublime: Frederic Edwin Church's Landscapes of Mount Desert and Mount Katahdin - Portland Museum of Art
7 Congress Square
Portland,
Maine
04101
Phone: (207) 775-6148
Jun 30 thru Sep 30, 2012. Nineteenth-century landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church first traveled to Maine in 1850 inspired by the portfolio of drawings his teacher Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School. During the next few decades, Church visited the Maine coast and rocky islands near Mount Desert and trekked inland focusing on the area around Mount Katahdin. Maine provided sensational sunsets, robust waves crashing on rocky shores, and an abundance of wilderness arousing the dramatic vitality of nature that Church's paintings embody. Organized by Olana Traveling Exhibitions and curated by John Wilmerding, the exhibition will focus on 23 of Church's small oil sketches of Maine's two most majestic natural landmarks.
