Frank W. Benson, American Impressionist and Etcher

Be sure to plan a visit to the exhibition "Impressionist Summers: Frank W. Benson's North Haven" which opens next summer on June 16, 2012. Organized by The Farnsworth Art Museum, in Rockland, Maine, the show will focus on Benson's life and work on that small Maine island. It was there that Benson painted almost all of his brilliant, sun-drenched Impressionist paintings, launched his prolific etching career and began his highly successful watercolor period. Faith Andrews Bedford will be the guest curator.
