Every summer since 1954, Alex Katz has lived and painted in the nearby town of Lincolnville.  In addition to his signature figure paintings, much of his work has concentrated on the land- and seascape of this midcoast village.  In recent years in particular, Katz’s work has included lushly painted, subtly colored large-scale canvases intimately connected to the place he has called home for more than five decades. This exhibition focuses on Katz’s most recent works from his annual Lincolnville sojourn; all of the paintings are from the artist’s own collection.

Join the Farnsworth's curatorial staff and special guest speakers for intimate walking tours in the museum galleries. These monthly talks provide the opportunity to learn from experts about the history behind specific works, details of the artists' processes and intellectual interpretations of the art. Each curator will select one or two specific works for thorough investigation. There will be ample time for questions and discussion.
