A Maine artist examining humanity’s foibles, a German printmaker of the late 19th century and a contemporary Dutch textile installation artist known for her color sense are represented in winter 2013 exhibitions at the Bates College Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

Opening with a lecture and reception at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, is the exhibition Robert S. Neuman’s “Ship to Paradise<\/em><\/a>,” consisting of depictions by a Mount Desert Island artist of humankind’s vices and worldly conceits. Discussing Neuman’s work is Maine author and art critic Carl Little.<\/p>\n

“Ship to Paradise — The Wreck” is a 1985 image in mixed media on paper from Robert Neuman’s “Ship to Paradise” series.<\/p><\/div>\n

Also opening that evening is the Intermezzi Portfolio<\/em><\/a>, Opus IV, a series of prints by Max Klinger, a German artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.<\/p>\n

A reception at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, opens Fransje Killaars: Color at the Center<\/em><\/a>. An artist who approaches textiles in provocative ways that are as much cultural as conceptual statements, Killaars will exhibit several installations at the Bates museum and several at Museum L-A, in the former textile mill on Canal Street in Lewiston where Bates-brand bedspreads were woven.<\/p>\n

The reception takes place in both locations, with a shuttle connecting them.<\/p>\n
