Art of Penobscot Bay

In Art of Penobscot Bay, brothers Carl and David Little explore the beauty and breadth of this legendary body of water through the work of more than one hundred artists. The book includes an impressive line-up, from earlier painters like Fitz Henry Lane, Marsden Hartley, and John Marin to contemporaries such as Yvonne Jacquette, Lois Dodd, and Siri Beckman. In responding to the picturesque towns and harbors that circle Penobscot Bay and the islands scattered across its waters, the featured artists draw on a multitude of styles and approaches to fulfill their individual visions. Their sense of place may be as specific as the breakwater on remote Matinicus Island or as broad as a sweeping coastal vista. Within these pagers, seascapes, images of working waterfronts, all manner of vessels, and harbor scenes abound. An important visual exploration of a beloved region in Maine and a popular place to visit. Art of Penobscot Bay is the fourth collaboration between Carl and David Little. Their previous books focused on art inspired by Mount Katahdin, Acadia National Park, and Portland, Maine
