Quote

The way to understand art is to go and look at it. And if out of a million visitors there is even one to whom art means something, that is enough to justify museums ( Pierre Auguste Renoir)
"Art is a lifetime matter. The best any artist can do is to
accumulate all the knowledge possible of art and its principles, study
nature and practice continually." (Edgar Payne, 1883-1947)

Our Trip to the Colby Museum

Inspiration, that's what painters are constantly looking
for and we found a bevy of it right here at the Alex Katz's Maine/New York show at the Colby Museum. The show is running through Dec. 30th 2012.
*Curated by Carter Ratcliff,considers the art of Alex Katz fron the paired perspectives of his longtime artistic milieus-New York City and Maine. Drawn from the holding os the Colby College Museum of Art, the collection of the artist, and selected loans, artworks in this exhibition illuminate the urban and rural subjects that have guided the artist's work for more that six decades.
