June 8\u2013Oct. 6, 2018<\/h3>\n

Dahlov Ipcar: Blue Moons & Menageries<\/a>: This exhibition presents a wide array of paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures representing nearly the entire career of Ipcar, one of Maine\u2019s best-known artists. Many of the works shown are exhibited publicly for the first time. Ipcar reached a wide audience through the many children\u2019s books she wrote and illustrated, and many of these images are also included.<\/p>\n

Maine Moderns: Drawings by Marsden Hartley and Carl Sprinchorn<\/a>: Sourced primarily from the museum\u2019s Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection, this exhibition brings together figural drawings by artists who were longtime friends. Born in Lewiston, Hartley is recognized as an innovative and important figure in American Modernist painting. His drawings in this exhibition are from a series of later figural works, circa 1940, and are all from the same sketchbook. Sprinchorn was a Swedish-American artist who did much of his work in Maine. His drawings here include works that were in Hartley\u2019s personal collection and several from a recent gift that appeared in Sprinchorn\u2019s first New York show, where he met Hartley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
