Camden Mountains from the South Entrance to the Harbor, Fitz Henry Lane "I like to paint things I know, things that hold associations for me, a certain warmth. That is where I'm rather odd: most people are in search of new subjects. I find new subjects right under my feet." Andrew Wyeth Romance of Autumn, George Bellows In our nation's northeast corner lies a place of austere beauty. Here, the light shines differently. Through artists' eyes, it is a wondrous land; by the artist's hand, it has become a destination. Recognized as one of the finest regional art museums in the country, the Farnsworth collection of American art focuses on art created in or inspired by Maine. The Museum's extensive collection includes works by Fitz Henry Lane, George Bellows, Winslow Homer, Rockwell Kent, John Marin and Louise Nevelson. In addition, the Farnsworth's Wyeth Center is devoted to the art of the "first family" of Maine painting. Here, the most extensive collection of Wyeth art in the world -- several thousand works by N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth -- is on rotating display.   Farnsworth Art Museum and Wyeth Center 16 Museum St. Rockland, Maine 04841 207-596-6457 www.farnsworthmuseum.org Hours:                             WINTER/SPRING: Jan 2-mid-June, Open Tues.-Sun., 10am-5pm; closed Mon. except Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Patriot's Day and Memorial Day.                                  SUMMER: mid-June-Columbus Day, Open Daily 9am-5pm, Wed., 10am-7pm.
