Sunday Telegram features Art Gallery's 'A Mountain Rises: The Art of Katahdin'

The Maine Sunday Telegram on Aug 4th published a feature story and video slideshow on the UNE Art Gallery's current exhibition, "A Mountain Rises: The Art of Katahdin."

Writer Bob Keyes explains that "the mix of work in the UNE exhibition is impressive. Contemporary painters are well represented and make up the bulk of the show, but the exhibition also includes paintings by a large number of 19th- and early-20th century painters such as James Fitzgerald, Carl Sprinchorn, Maurice Day and George Hallowell."

Art Gallery Director Anne Zill says in the story: "Our native people got it right when they referred to it centuries ago as a sacred mountain. It's the grandeur of it all. I think that word encapsulates it. The word 'majesty' also comes to mind. It has a richness of detail, and it changes so much over the seasons. ... Different views from different locations bring different perspectives. It represents an endless pursuit for artists." Read the story and watch the video slideshow.

The exhibition runs through Oct. 27th. More information on the exhibition and programs.
