This year marks the 100th anniversary of the American artist Herman Maril’s birth, which will be celebrated with an extensive exhibition at PAAM. In this lecture Ms. McCarthy will trace the development of Maril’s style, and examine the range and impact of his work, from his early experiments with Cubism to his selective and analytic landscapes.
Discussion will focus on Maril’s creative process, and the artist’s use of light, color and space in his elemental compositions, including domestic interiors and mountain-scapes, and the dunes and tidal flats of Provincetown. Comparisons with related paintings and drawings, and discussion of various painters who influenced and inspired the artist will further enrich participants understanding of Maril’s place in twentieth-century art.
