Monhegan Island by Margot Sullivan,Cynthia Hagar Krusell,John J. Galluzzo Pdf
The natural beauty of Monhegan Island has continuously attracted generations of artists, day-trippers, and summer sojourners. White Head, Pulpit Rock, and Cathedral Woods are names that resonate throughout New England and beyond. Long before the first ferry full of seasonal visitors arrived, the Monhegan Island fishermen had established a permanent community on the island, scratching out an existence on a remote offshore outpost. As early as 1890, prominent artists Robert Henri and George Bellows, followed by Rockwell Kent and Jamie Wyeth, captured the magnificence of Monhegan. They shared the cliffs and coves with the lighthouse keepers, carpenters, lobstermen, and the island people.

As Edward L. Deci, director of the museum for thirty-five years, writes: ¿Remarkably, on this small, isolated island the human history has been extraordinary.¿ The museum now houses a collection of more than 30,000 objects, including nearly 1,500 works of art, many created by some of the giants of American art who have been associated with the 160 year history of the Monhegan art colony.THE MONHEGAN MUSEUM: CELEBRATING FIFTY YEARS represents a special commemorative volume that brings together authors whose varied disciplines capture many different aspects of this unusual museum. Essays describe the Monhegan art colony and its artists; the visionaries of the island community who worked together to bring this museum to fruition; the historical buildings of the museum; the programs that have been initiated to ensure sustainability of the buildings and the conservation of the collection; and the history of the Kent-Fitzgerald Historic Artists¿ Home and Studio. Included are approximately ninety full-color reproductions of works from the museum¿s collections and fifty historic images from its archives.
A full-color photoessay captures life among members of the close-knit community on Monhegan Island, a small island off the coast of Maine, from the tranquil isolation of their winters to the huge influx of tourists during the summer season.
Cape Ann and Monhegan Island Vistas by James F. O'Gorman Pdf
In the late 19th-early 20th century American artists began to gather in summer colonies that stretched from California to New England. In focused recognition of that development, this exhibition groups selected pairs of paintings or prints by artists who worked at very different north-east art colonies at Cape Ann (Gloucester and Rockport), Massachusetts on the one hand, and Monhegan Island, Maine on the other. These locations separated by a hundred miles of ocean became, as did many other contemporary art colonies, important crossroads in the history of American art as they hosted major artists through the years. In the case of these two colonies, figures such as Theresa Bernstein, Eric Hudson, Leon Kroll, Hayley Lever, James Fitzgerald, Lester Stevens, Stow Wengenroth and others visited, and sometimes lived, in both locations. This exhibition includes works by these and other artists from the collections of the Monhegan Museum of Art and History, the Cape Ann Museum, the Rockport Art Association, and private collections. Works by each of these and other artists depicting aspects of either location reflect the differences between the city-size Cape Ann, with its large industrial Gloucester harbor, sizable fishing fleet, and extended Rockport seashore, and by contrast the tiny off-shore island with its amazing cliff formations and smaller harbor and lobster fleet. Published by the Monhegan Museum of Art & History, Monhegan, Maine, to accompany the exhibition of the same name organized by the Monhegan Museum of Art & History and the Cape Ann Museum on view at the MMA&H from July 1 to September 30, 2021, and at the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts, from October 23, 2021, to January 16, 2022.

The Miracle on Monhegan Island: A Novel by Elizabeth Kelly Pdf
Back with another "tragicomic romp" (O, the Oprah Magazine), the award-winning author of The Last Summer of the Camperdowns brings her sparkling wit and big-hearted touch to Maine's Monhegan Island. When Spark—the rakish prodigal son—returns unannounced to the dilapidated family home, his arrival launches an unforgettable summer on Monhegan Island. During his absence, his gentle brother and shrewd, fork-tongued father, Pastor Ragnar, have been caring for Spark’s son, Hally. A temperamental adolescent emboldened by tales of his father’s mischief, Hally is careening through an identity crisis when he stuns his family by claiming to have had a spiritual vision. Though Spark is permanently dubious, Pastor Ragnar pounces on the chance to revitalize his flagging church. Hally is shoved into the spotlight and, in the frenzy that follows, this fragile family is pushed to the brink. Narrated in larger-than-life, crackling prose by one charismatic shih tzu, The Miracle on Monhegan Island is another "exquisite and occasionally uproarious" (Elizabeth Egan) must-read summer blockbuster from Elizabeth Kelly.
The mid to late 20th century was a pivotal moment on Monhegan, when, following the end of the Second World War, modernist painters came to form the core of the island's art community. Four artist couples came to Monhegan Island at this time: Reuben & Gerry Tam, Moe Oberman & Arline Simon, Jan & Bill McCartin, and Lynne Drexler & John Hultberg. These artists met and married in New York City, their paths converging either through their association with art schools or at gathering places for the avant-garde.Feeling inspired by the place and welcomed by the people, they structured their lives to allow for extended stays on Monhegan year after year so that they would have time for their art. Some pushed the limits of the summer season, arriving as early as April or staying into October, while others made temporary or permanent commitments to year-round residency. Living as they did, in shared spaces and in close proximity while working on the island, their art related in counterpoint, like simultaneous melodies interwoven in a musical composition.The artists showed their work in solo exhibitions and during open studio hours on Monhegan, but many also exhibited together as couples and with other Monhegan artists in Maine and in New York City. Through their commitment to their art, to each other and to the island they became a community. This exhibition explores how these eight artists became interconnected as partners, collaborators, neighbors and friends during the second half of the twentieth century.

Art, Ecology, and the Resilience of a Maine Island by Barry A. Logan,Jennifer Pye,Frank H. Goodyear III Pdf
A richly illustrated catalogue of visual art recording the changing ecology of Monhegan Island, a renowned artist destination off the coast of Maine. With its rugged shoreline, magnificent Cathedral Woods, and rustic cedar-shingled homes, Monhegan Island is quintessential Maine. This historic fishing village situated 10 miles off the coast has long been a haven for artists drawn to the splendor of its ocean vistas and picturesque wildlands and for ecologists fascinated by its complex natural history. Merging art, science, and history, this book explores the broad arc of ecological events on the island—the formation and abandonment of pastureland, forest recovery, and the critical importance of land conservation—through their representation in visual art. Indeed, for well over a century, painters, photographers, printmakers, and cartographers alike have observed and depicted this dynamic landscape. Inspired by a Rockwell Kent painting of white spruce saplings set against blue sea and golden sky, biologist Barry Logan recognized that the island’s ecology could be traced through its artistic depictions across the ages. This collaboration between Logan and Monhegan historian Jennifer Pye and art historian Frank Goodyear yields a new and unprecedented survey of the art of the island through the lens of ecology. This story of Monhegan parallels that of other land conservation efforts throughout the country, yet it is one uniquely well told by island artists, ecologists, historians, and community members.
