WISCASSET — A reception coinciding with the opening of “Maine and America in the 20th Century” will be held at the Wiscasset Bay Gallery, 5-7 p.m. Saturday, July 6, catered by Mae’s Café and Bakery of Bath.
The event is free and open to the public.
Featured in the exhibition is a dramatic and richly painted oil painting by Abraham Bogdanove, “Afternoon Light, Squeaker Cove, Monhegan.” Created in 1924, this bold and thickly painted work is awash in color and captures the drama of the crashing waves against the island’s rocky shoreline.
Also on display is “Watching the Sea” by Gordon Grant, an iconic painting depicting two fishermen standing stoically at the ocean’s edge. With their backs to the viewer, the men watch while the ocean churns and the skies clear as a storm passes through.
Contemporary highlights include colorful still life paintings by Geer Morton, Marjorie Moskowitz and Joan Plummer, and coastal and inland Maine views by Keith Oehmig, Michael Graves, Tom McCobb, Don Stone, Guy Corriero, Tom Curry, Diana Johnson, J. Thomas R. Higgins, Paul Niemiec, Judith Magyar, John Gable, David Kasman and Carlton Plummer.
“Maine and America in the 20th Century” will be on display through Aug. 9. For more information, call 882-7682 or visit www.wiscassetbaygallery.com. The gallery is located at 67 Main St.
