Events In:

Four Centuries of Still Life - Portland Museum of Art

7 Congress Square
Portland, Maine 04101
 Phone: (207) 775-6148

Feb 04 thru Jun 06, 2010. Still-life works celebrate the significance of all aspects of daily life. They embrace a moment in time and create a memory that combines real life and its representation in art. Objects of Wonder: Four Centuries of Still Life from the Norton Museum of Art is a selection of more than 50 paintings, sculptures, and photographs from the 17th through the 20th centuries that will focus on the depiction of inanimate objects. Featured artists will include Marsden Hartley, Henri Matisse, Robert Mapplethorpe, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Yinka Shonibare. This exhibition will present important works that illustrate both aspects of the genre-objects as stand-alone imagery and those serving as one element of a larger composition. The out-of-the-ordinary assortment of works come together to form such themes as table settings, flowers, fruits and vegetables, fish, and works in three dimensions.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update

Frederick Lynch - Portland Museum of Art

7 Congress Square
Portland, Maine 04101
 Phone: (207) 775-6148

Feb 27 thru May 16, 2010. As an abstract painter, Maine artist Frederick Lynch (born 1935) uses a system of repeated geometries and mathematical divisions to explore a multitude of visual possibilities. His paintings evoke the type of order and chaos found in patterns of nature-branching, veining of leaves, and molecular systems. This exhibition of 25 recent works by Lynch will pair his large painted canvases with smaller sections of each of his paintings. This will be Lynch's second solo exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art in the past two decades.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update
