217 Films Premieres Film on Recognized American Master(Portland, ME) On Friday, December 11th at 6:30 pm, "John Marin: Let the Paint be Paint!" will make its world premiere at the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine. The film tells the story of one of the most important American artistic figures of the first half of the 20th century, and the undisputed father of American Modernism. Utilizing more than 70 of Marin’s paintings, drawings, and etchings, including those in the private collection of Norma Marin seldom seen anywhere, filmmaker Michael Maglaras reveals Marin's life, from his beginnings in New Jersey and his early experiments in watercolor, to his days at Cape Split in Down East Maine, where, with his late oils and watercolors, he established himself as one of the preeminent masters of American art. "John Marin: “Let the Paint be Paint!” was written, narrated and directed by Michael Maglaras of 217 Films. Terri Templeton is the executive producer. This film was shot on location at the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine and at Marin’s summer home on Cape Split in Addison, Maine, where he produced some of his most outstanding and memorable work. The Colby College Museum is the world’s single largest publicly displayed museum collection of Marin’s work and many of these pieces are featured prominently in the film. There will be an encore screening on Saturday, December 12th at 2:00pm. Tickets are $7 and will go on sale at the Museum beginning at 10:00 am the day of the screening.
