Blog 4 Portland Art Museum

 After the first exhibit (blog 2), here is some more of what the museum has to offer. 

The museum is an architectural masterpiece.

Richard Estes
"Bus with Reflection of the Flatiron Building"
1967-68
Possibly the ultimate realist.  



Rockwell Kent
"Resurrection Bay"
1919

Richard Estes
"Holland Hotel"
1960



Richard Estes
"Beaver Dam Pond, Acadia National Park"
2009



Andrew Wyeth
"River Cove"
1958
If one were to take a photograph of this scene, it would be so less effective. 



Jeffrey Gibson
"People like us, 2018"










Marsden Hartley
"New Mexico 1919-23"
Slabs of raw beef as landscape.  I can't wait to see it. 




Harry Wilson Watrous
"The Drop Sinister-What Shall We Do with it"
circa 1915
A profoundly disturbing picture.  Here is the museum description:

James Bard
"Daniel Drew" 
1874



Robert Salmon
"Sailing Vessels in Boston Harbor"

Frederic Edwin Church
"Twilight"
1863
What a fascinating cloud!







Rockwell Kent
"Wreck of the D.T. Sheridan"
1949















As we left Portland, we went by Portland Light so Susan could see it, and 
I could photograph it with better light. 

Portland is a wonderful city, with great vistas, ferry rides, and a foodie haven. 
You should go!
