The Art of the Animal:
Works by Bernard Langlais and Others
Gallery talk by Carl Little on Tuesday, August 18, 7:00 pm
In his slide talk,
author and art critic Carl Little will highlight the sculptural menagerie
-- lions, rhinos, dogs, and bears, among other animals -- of Bernard
Langlais (1921-1977). Little will tie Langlais’ work to a rich lineage of
animal art, including that of a number of contemporary Maine artists.
Little has published a number of art books, including Edward Hopper’s New
England, Paintings of Maine, and Beverly Hallam: An Odyssey in Art. He
contributed an essay to the catalogue for the retrospective exhibition
“Bernard Langlais: Independent Spirit” at the Portland Museum of Art in
2002. His reviews and articles appear in a range of regional and national
publications, from Maine Home + Design and Art New England to Ornament and
Art in America. He recently received the Maine Crafts Association’s first
award for scholarly contributions to the field of craft in Maine.
