A Glorious, Glorious Bay!

Art of Penobscot Bay

by Carl Little and David Little

Glorious Penobscot Bay, with its quaint mainland towns, bustling tourist centers, and island fishing villages, stands as the backdrop of daydreams. The bay has attracted generation after generation of artists to its shores. To create the the wonderful new book of fine art, Art of Penobscot Bay, brothers David and Carl Little have selected art and artists that celebrate the myriad of inlets, islands, coves, and peninsulas—the “nooks and corners” of the region. But above all, they feature art by more than 120 artists that is infused with a remarkable representation of place.

 

Art of Penobscot Bay includes artists from the 19th century through the 21st century, including Fitz Henry Lane, Waldo Peirce, Edward Hopper, William Zorach, John Marin, Emily Muir, Greta Van Campen, Alex Katz, Eric Hopkins, and Amy Peters Wood. The art, combined with text by the Little brothers, takes readers on a wondrous visual journey around, across, and through a breathtaking bay.
