MURRAY HANTMAN High Street Gallery Please click images above for full view.
Murray Hantman (1904-1999) was a major painter in the American art world for more
than 60 years, dividing his time between New York and Maine. Even though he, like many
of his generation, moved away from representation into abstraction, nature remained the
touchstone for his art, and Hantman was particularly inspired by the unique qualities
of the environment and natural light on Maine's Monhegan Island.
At his death in 1999, Murray Hantman bequeathed his remaining artworks to the Portland Museum of Art, to
be used for the benefit of the Museum's programs. Proceeds from this exhibit will benefit the Museum's exhibitions and education programs.
Many of these works have never before been publicly shown.
