Pencil. Pen.
Charcoal. Images captured by frame and shutter.
Light and line converge on a page; an expanse of
paper. And a masterwork is born. At historic Bates College in Lewiston,
one of the region's most impressive collections of
masterworks on paper graces the halls of its Museum
of Art.
Featuring prints, drawings,
photographs and paintings, this collection has as
its centerpiece a body of work and memorabilia
created by Lewiston's most famous artistic son,
Marsden Hartley.
In addition, the Museum
showcases exhibitions of contemporary art in its
upper gallery, and serves as a major learning
resource to Bates College as well as the region at
large.
