Howard Fussiner
June 29 – August 25, 2023
Maine Jewish Museum – Fineberg Family Community Room
Painter Howard Fussiner (1923-2006) was well known for his modern figurative work and especially his parade paintings. He drew great inspiration from his many summers spent in Deer Isle, Maine and from artist and Maine native Marsden Hartley, as is evident in this exhibition, which includes some of his Maine landscapes and seascapes.
Lynne Shulman
June 29 – August 25, 2023
Maine Jewish Museum – Spiegel Gallery
This is Lynne Shulman’s second exhibition at the Maine Jewish Museum, after a highly successful show in 2019. She has been an artist and art educator in Maine for over 45 years. Inspired by folk art traditions and her love of the natural world, Lynne Shulman’s sculptures and reliefs explore narratives of human and animal connections.
Sue Michlovitz
June 26 – August 25, 2023
Maine Jewish Museum – Jody Sataloff History and Art Pavilion
Water is restorative and vital in all its forms. The paradox of water is in its character as peaceful yet invigorating, both life-giving and life-threatening. Sue Michlovitz’s photographic images, shown in both her prints and a fine art book, embrace these contradictions.
