“Katherine Bradford: August,” featuring paintings by the artist who lives parttime in Brunswick, will open Saturday, June 29 at Bowdoin College Museum of Art with a public reception beginning at 6 p.m.
The museum is coordinating the Bradford show with the opening of the exhibition “Maurice Prendergast: By the Sea.”
Bradford is a New Yorkbased painter and a long-time member of the Maine arts community. Her exhibition includes eight recent paintings all concerned with the ocean, populated by boats and bathers, as a metaphor for the vagaries of modern life.
Bradford’s distinctions include grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art and the Guggenheim Foundation.
Bradford’s work is in several distinguished museum collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Addison Gallery of American Art.
A reception for the artist and this exhibition will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, with a discussion by Bradford at 7 p.m. as part of Brunswick’s Second Friday ArtWalk.
