The Subject is Light
The Henry and Sharon Martin Collection of Contemporary Realist Paintings
June 9 – September 3
This exhibition features 23 paintings by living artists of Cape Cod, all drawn from the collection of Henry and Sharon Martin. Many of the artists included have ties to R.H. Ives Gammell, an influential artist with a close connection to the first director and curator at Maryhill Museum of Art, Clifford Dolph. Gammell had a passionate belief in representational art and influenced the work of such artists as Robert Hunter, Pam Pindell, Joe McGurl and Jacob Collins, who are all featured in this exhibition. The Martins began collecting art more than 30 years ago, amassing an important collection of Hudson River School works before turning their attention to living artists.
