Currier Museum enewsletter
 RECENTLY ACQUIRED

"Sometimes I like to paint a red ocean with light red - maybe between Venetian and Indian red or maybe spectrum red - red is more exciting than gray - it is not the color that makes a painted ocean look like a real ocean - What makes the painted ocean look real is a suggestion of the motion of the water - a red ocean with motion will look more like the sea than a patch of gray paint without movement.  
" 
  - John Marin
 
The Currier Museum of Art is pleased to announce the acquisition of an important late oil painting by American John Marin (1870-1953). Movement in Red (1946) reveals Marin's bold technique, which conveys a dynamic vision of boats sailing off the coast of Cape Split, Maine. It is now on view in the Currier's Modern Gallery.

EXHIBITIONS AT A GLANCE


Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey on view through August 17, 2014
We've added some great works to the Bearden exhibition! Phase two focuses on Bearden's surprising connection to (and use of) the oldest object in the Currier's collection, an 800-year old painting by the Follower of Meliore. Works by Bearden's contemporaries, Charles Alston and Jacob Lawrence are also on view, along with the newly acquired Bearden watercolor, Train Whistle Blues."
