FMI 207-786-6158
Hours: 10am-5pm Mon-Sat, except till 7pm Wed.

Through March 22
Robert S. Neuman’s “Ship to Paradise”: This collection of prints is the artist’s personal exploration of a theme dating back to the Middle Ages: the folly and foibles of man. Informed by his reflections on the modern world and knowledge of seafaring and shipbuilding, Neuman’s intricate compositions recall the fantastical paintings of Hieronymus Bosch.

Max Klinger: The Intermezzi Portfolio: Klinger’s 1881 Intermezzi, Opus IV, is composed of etchings and aquatints that explore desire, fantasy and death. Organized with assistance from Museum of Art intern Douglas P. Welsh ’14.

Fransje Killaars: Color at the Center: A remarkable colorist who approaches textiles in provocative ways that are as much cultural as conceptual statements, Killaars offers installations at the Bates museum, including a U.S. premiere, and at Museum L-A, in the former textile mill on Canal Street downtown where Bates-brand bedspreads were woven.
