Monhegan, the Artists' Island

For more than a century, America's greatest painters have been drawn to remote Monhegan Island, off the midcoast of Maine. It is a rugged, seaswept island, & has been immortalized by such artistic visionaries as Rockwell Kent, Robert Henri, George Bellows, Edward Hopper, & the Wyeths. This book examines the mystique of Monhegan - its village, its people, its stark headlands & the sea around it - & uncovers the stories of the men & who have been inspired there. It is profusely illustrated with some of the greatest art made on the island.Curtis, Jane is the author of 'Monhegan, the Artists' Island', published 1995 under ISBN 9780892723478 and ISBN 0892723475.
