Domestic Modernism: Russell Cheney and Midcentury American Painting

Description

Ogunquit Museum of American Art has produced this catalogue in conjunction with Vanderbilt University on the occasion of the exhibition, Domestic Modernism: Russell Cheney and Midcentury Modern Painting. This beautiful full-color catalogue edited by Kevin D. Murphy, contains essays by Scott Bane and Richard M. Candee. Together, they tell the story of this lesser-know, yet important modernist painter: his artistic connections, inspirations and triumphs. For art enthusiasts familiar with coastal New England, the catalogue contains many of Russell Cheney’s images of street scenes and architecture of the 1930’s and 40’s in Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, ME as well as interiors, landscapes, and portraits.
