In celebration of the opening of the newly restored Winslow Homer Studio, the Portland Museum of Art will showcase the exhibition “Weatherbeaten: Winslow Homer and Maine” (September 22 - December 30, 2012) the exhibition will features more than 30 major oils and watercolors painted during Homer’s tenure in the Studio (1883–1910).

Next spring, the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine will present an exhibition of 70 paintings by Mildred Burrage, a remarkable woman who studied in Europe, created plein air oil paintings and filled sketchbooks while in France, met Claude Monet and Gertrude Stein, and returned to Maine to spearhead numerous preservation projects, including the establishment of the Lincoln County Cultural and Historical Association.

Two new exhibitions in the United States and one in England bring attention to the remarkably diverse artwork of Edgar Degas. All the works on display will demonstrate the French artist’s skill in accurately recording what he observed in nature and the creative ways he blended those observations with his lingering memories.
