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.

Contemporary Collaborations - Portland Museum of Art

May 24 thru Jul 31, 2008. Portland. The Portland Museum of Art presents an exhibit on printmaking. Printmaking has enjoyed a renaissance in the United States, thanks, in large measure, to several important print workshops where artists and printers have an opportunity to experiment together. The creative results of such partnerships are on view in the exhibition Contemporary Collaborations: Artist and Master Printer, at the Portland Museum of Art. This exhibition features 35 prints by 30 contemporary artists with Maine connections who have created significant prints in concert with technical specialists at professional fine art print presses. On view May 24 through August 10, 2008. Contemporary Collaborations is guest-curated by Maine print Collector Bruce Brown. For info phone (207) 775-6148.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update

Georgia O'Keeffe - Portland Museum of Art

Jun 12 thru Sep 07, 2008. Portland. This exhibition of 60 photographs of Georgia O'Keeffe and 18 works by the artist will address the relationship between her art and photographs made of her over the course of a long career. For the first time, the exhibition will pair paintings and photographs to establish two opposing public images of the artist. Georgia O'Keeffe and the Camera will include works by famous photographers such as Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Eliot Porter, Todd Webb, and Arnold Newman. The exhibition will also include examples of O'Keeffe's paintings and works on paper that mark major moments in the development of her art: the early abstract drawings, the first landscapes in New Mexico from the 1930s, and the late architectural studies of her homes at the Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update
