Paintings of Maine: A New Collection Selected by Carl Little
Authors: Carl Little and Arnold Skolnick
The author presents the Maine landscape as seen through the eyes of more than a hundred artists, with colorful historical and anecdotal commentary by Carl Little and well-chosen quotes to enhance the visual art. The painters represented span a period of 150 years, from the mid-19th century to the present. In addition to the classic artists considered to be the core of the canon, the book includes some newer painters, such as Jill Hoy and William Irvine. Just about every medium is represented, including oils, watercolors, acrylics, and casein.
