“On the Coast: Twentieth Century and Contemporary American Art” will open Saturday, May 26 at the Wiscasset Bay Gallery in Wiscasset, Maine.
Among the featured works in the exhibition are recent oils by Judith Magyar including “October Moonrise, Maquoit Bay” with its clear, haunting light. David Kasman’s new paintings of Stonington, Maine and Monhegan Island have a weight and solidity of paint, which are energized by vigorous, free brushstrokes. Similarly, “Center Harbor” and “Island Poppies” by Keith Oehmig resonate with deep blues and purples captured in a loose, painterly manner. Other contemporary new artists showing in the exhibition include Michael Graves, Roberta Goschke, Guy Corriero, Diana Johnson, David Lussier, Tom McCobb and Paul Niemiec.
Among the 20th century American works highlighted in the show are Matthias Noheimer’s (1909-1982) egg tempera, “Three Gulls,” and Morris Shulman’s (1912-1978) geometric oil, “Horn’s Hill, Monhegan.” Other important American artists included in the exhibition are William Zorach (1887-1966), Gordon Grant (1875-1962), Jay Hall Connaway (1893-1970), Ernest Trova (1927-2009) and Robert Philipp (1895-1981).
