Featured are sculptures, paintings and prints by artists including Abe Ajay, David Driskell, William Manning, Hermann Nitsch, Frohawk Two Feathers, Charlie Hewitt, Bernard Langlais, William Pope L., Joel Shapiro, Kiki Smith and Andrea Sulzer. Organized with assistance from museum intern Emma Scott ’10.<\/p>\n

Landscapes of Maine<\/em>: Then and Now<\/em><\/a>: Inviting contemplation of the evolution of Maine\u2019s landscape and how artists approach it, this exhibit pairs paintings made from 1880 to 1905 by beloved Lewiston artist Delbert Dana Coombs with landscapes from the corresponding period 100 years later. Organized with assistance from museum interns Charlotte Widlein ’09 and Andrea Svigals ’10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
