July 9, 2015, through January 3, 2016Gilbert Stuart in BostonThis exhibition brings together a selection of oil paintings by Gilbert Stuart (1755–1828) from the Museum’s collection, including his famous portraits of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The preeminent portraitist of the early republic, Stuart created fashionable likenesses of the period’s most important political, military, and social figures. Each of the works included in the exhibition was completed after Stuart’s move to Boston in 1805. Collectively, they provide insight into the artist’s relationship with other artists and collectors in the region, including members of the Bowdoin family.

ONGOING EXHIBITIONS

Through August 14, 2016 A Glimmer on the Polar Sea: The Crocker Land Expedition, 1913–1917Donald MacMillan led an Arctic expedition to claim “Crocker Land,” a distant landmass that Robert Peary sighted in the Polar Sea. MacMillan determined Crocker Land was a mirage. He and his colleagues spent the next four years investigating the natural history of northwest Greenland and the Canadian high Arctic. The exhibit features their scientific work and present-day research in the same region. Funded by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment, Kane Lodge Foundation, Inc., Gibbons Summer Research Internship Fund, Bowdoin IT Mobile App Development Program, and Post Grape-NutsTM.

Hubbard Hall

Through March 29, 2015Cape Dorset and Beyond: Inuit Art from the Marcia and Robert Ellis CollectionThis exhibit features sculptures and prints from Cape Dorset (Kinngait), home to many of Canada’s best-known Inuit artists, and donated to the museum by Marcia and Robert Ellis. The pieces capture the range of styles embraced by these artists, from strikingly realistic and dynamic figures to whimsical and mystical creatures. Sponsored by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

LONG-TERM INSTALLATIONS

Robert E. Peary and His Northern WorldAs a pioneering Arctic explorer, Peary relied on many extraordinary people, including his family, financial backers, loyal expedition members, and the Inughuit men and women of northwest Greenland. He also worked ceaselessly to improve his methods of travel and his equipment, always keeping in mind efficiency on the trail and the comfort and safety of his men. Through objects, photographs, and motion pictures, this exhibit provides new perspectives on Peary and his long career in the north. Funded by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

NEW EXHIBITIONS

January 15 through June 28, 2015Rocks, Waves, and Skies: Maine Landscapes, 1900–1950At the turn of the twentieth century, artists from urban centers such as Boston and New York City made Maine one of their favorite summer destinations. Aided by improved roads and new rail lines into northern New England, they gravitated to the rugged coast, where crashing waves, exposed rocks, and dramatic skies captured their artistic interest. This exhibition highlights the work of artists such as Rockwell Kent, George Bellows, and Marsden Hartley. Their paintings ushered in a new chapter in the history of art-making in Maine.

Opens January 15, 2015To Instruct and Delight: European and American Art, 1500–1800The Museum’s collection of historic European and American art was shaped by James Bowdoin III, the founder of the College, who bequeathed family collections of European art in 1811. Subsequent generations have built on this legacy, and collecting continues to this day. This exhibition brings together works from Bowdoin’s collection with important recent acquisitions that offer new perspectives on the art of Europe and the transatlantic colonies.

January 22 through March 15, 2015Letters and Shadows: African American Art and Literature since the Harlem RenaissanceThis exhibition features dialogues and collaborations among seminal African-American artists and writers of the twentieth century, including visual artists Kara Walker, Glenn Ligon, and Jacob Lawrence, and authors James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neal Hurston. Using text and image, the show explores the creative process of montage and construction of narrative. Organized with Elizabeth Muther, associate professor of English.

March 5 through June 7, 2015Past Futures: Science Fiction, Space Travel, and Postwar Art of the AmericasThis groundbreaking exhibition explores the impact of the Space Race, science fiction, and the explosive growth of Cold War-era technological innovation on avant-garde artists of the Americas from the 1940s to the 1970s. Past Futures investigates how artists from the United States and several Latin American countries interpreted notions of conquest, discovery, and crossing into new territories—both terrestrial and celestial.

March 14 through April 26, 2015A Gift of Knowing: The Art of Dorothea RockburneCanadian artist Dorothea Rockburne grounds her practice in mathematical theories that she first encountered while studying with Max Dehn at the legendary Black Mountain College. This selection of key works since the 1970s includes one of Rockburne’s most recent drawings, The Mathematical Edges of Maine, a response to her travel to the state this past summer.

This exhibition complements Past Futures: Science Fiction, Space Travel, and Postwar Art of the Americas and is organized in collaboration with the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

Opens April 2, 2015Peasants and Patricians: Landscapes and Portraits of the Nineteenth CenturyEuropean and American art in the nineteenth century was full of startling contrasts. Some artists preferred grand vistas of ancient ruins while others created small landscapes celebrating the specificity of local haunts. Similarly, some painted portraits of noblemen and women and others sought out peasants, farmers, and rogues. This installation from the Museum’s collection highlights these different approaches.

Opens April 16, 2015Contest! Challenge, Competition, and Combat in Ancient ArtThis exhibition considers the representation of contests in ancient art. With works drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection, it examines various forms of competitive interaction between individuals in ancient Greece, Rome, and elsewhere in the ancient world. Depictions of sporting events, musical competitions, and gladiatorial contests take center stage in this exhibition.

May 5 through September 27, 2015A Mind of Winter: Photographs by Abelardo MorellA Mind of Winter will include photographs and video created at various sites in Maine during the winter of 2014–2015. Generously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the exhibition represents Morell’s first prolonged engagement in the state since his graduation from Bowdoin College in 1977 and his first creative response to winter and the theme of climate change. The winner of the Infinity Award in Art by the International Center of Photography in 2011, Morell taught at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design for twenty-seven years.

May 10 through August 30, 2015“Empire Follows Art”: Culture and Identity in the Atlantic WorldThis exhibition illuminates the experience of the Atlantic world in the eighteenth century. Art and artifacts drawn from the Museum’s collections shed light on the development of an extensive network among Europe, Africa, and the Americas that influenced identity and culture in the period. Curated by students in “Sugar, Tobacco, Rice, and Rum: Art and Identity in the Atlantic World,” taught by Dana E. Byrd, assistant professor of art history.

CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS

Through February 8, 2015Collaborations and Collusions: Artists’ Networks from the Nineteenth Century to the PresentFeaturing loaned works that reflect the importance of Marcel Duchamp’s relationship to his family, this installation, drawn largely from the Museum’s collection, challenges the myth of artistic isolation. It addresses the importance of the networks that encouraged many of the leading practitioners of modern and contemporary art, including Mary Cassatt, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns.

Through March 1, 2015Hendrick Goltzius: Mythology and TruthThe prints by the Dutch engraver, draftsman, and painter Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) are dazzling for their technical refinement and provocative sensuality. A talented portraitist and an eloquent narrator of ancient myths and religious legend, Goltzius was the equivalent of an art world star of early modern Europe whose light has not faded over the last four hundred years. This exhibition brings together outstanding examples of prints created throughout his career and a late painting, Helen of Troy.

Through March 8, 2015Weaving the Myth of Psyche: Baroque Tapestries from the Wadsworth AtheneumA cycle of five tapestries illustrates the story of the princess Psyche who was taken as a bride by the god Cupid, according to the second century Latin novel The Golden Ass by Apuleius. The exhibition retells this myth and explains its reception in early modern Europe. It also addresses the use of tapestries in aristocratic houses in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Made of wool, silk, and gilded-silver, the tapestries were part of a series produced in Paris in the 1660s, during the reign of Louis XIV.

Through February 22, 2015Alison de Vere: Psyche and Eros This animated cartoon film, closely based on Apuleius’s story, is widely regarded as a masterpiece. Film animator Alison de Vere (1927–2001) completed the twenty-six-minute-long film for the British Channel 4 in 1994. Screened in the museum’s rotunda, the film provides a compelling dialogue with the Baroque tapestries in an adjacent gallery.

Through April 5, 2015Imago to Persona: Portraits from AntiquityThis exhibition explores the traditions and techniques that inform the portrayals of individuals in the ancient world. From profiles carved in relief and painted on vases to figures molded in terracotta and portraits sculpted in the round, this exhibition draws from a range of art representing Egyptian, Assyrian, Cypriot, Greek, and Roman cultures.

Monday, March 2 “Polar Imprints”Hester Blum6:00 p.m. Shannon Room, Hubbard HallHester Blum, associate professor of English, Pennsylvania State University. Narratives of polar voyages enjoyed wide circulation in Anglo-American cultural and political spheres during the nineteenth century. Yet the familiar travel accounts of adventurous voyage and their fictional counterparts were not the only forms of literary production generated by Arctic and Antarctic exploration. Many expeditions brought a surprising piece of equipment aboard ship: a printing press. With such presses, polar-voyaging sailors wrote and printed newspapers, broadsides, plays, and other reading matter beyond the Arctic and Antarctic Circles; these publications were produced almost exclusively for a reading audience comprised of the mission’s crew members. “Polar Imprints” will examine the first printed polar newspapers. Blum is interested in what this drive toward what she calls “extreme printing” tells us about the state of print culture and coterie publication in the nineteenth-century Anglo-American world. FREE.
