At the Bates College Art Museum through October 3, 2009.

Marsden Hartley was born in Lewiston and during his lifetime had expressed a hope that a memorial collection be established in his hometown. In 1951, the heirs of the Marsden Hartley estate left as a gift to Bates College, in compliance with his wish, the last remaining effects from Corea, Maine, where he lived and kept a studio. Again, in 1955, Hartley’s niece, Miss Norma G. Berger, made an additional gift to the collection. This gift included ninety-nine drawings from two sketchbooks and works by other artists in Hartley’s personal collection. These drawings, made in ink and graphite, span several decades, cover a wide range of subjects, and are the largest collection of the artist’s work in this medium. Many served as studies for some of the artist’s most important paintings. A selection of the ninety-nine drawings in the Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection will be exhibited during the summer.

There will be an opening reception on Friday, June 12th at 6:00 pm.
