Native Prospects: Indigeneity and Landscape Painting
Mar 08, 2025 - Jul 06, 2025
This exhibition juxtaposes an Indigenous approach to the articulation of land with the American landscape paintings of Thomas Cole (1801鈥�1848). It presents 19th-century paintings by Cole featuring Native figures, in context with Indigenous works of historic and cultural value, and artworks by several contemporary Indigenous artists. The show marks a remarkable moment in art history as we bring Cole back to Maine. Cole, who had a significant role in bringing artists to Mount Desert Island, allows us to reinvestigate early Maine landscape paintings in conversation with contemporary works.
