‘GRAPHITE’ AT PORTLAND MUSEUM SEPT. 1

avv/gs set 6/13 # 703168

PORTLAND, MAINE — The Portland Museum of Art will present an exhibition, “Graphite,” on view September 1–November 25.

From line to liquid, from the real to the abstract, this exhibition of paintings, drawings, and sculpture explores the myriad ways contemporary artists use graphite. The exhibition features 25 works drawn from the Portland Museum of Art’s permanent collection and on loan from local artists.

Family portraits by Brett Bigbee and Alex Katz, architectural views of Portland by Robert Solotaire and Rackstraw Downs and minimalist renderings by Scott Davis and Kendra Ferguson present a wide range of subjects and approaches to this single, versatile medium.

The museum is downtown at the corner of High and Congress Streets. For more information, 207-775-6148 or www.portlandmuseum.org.
