“The Wake” (1964), by Maine-and-Pennsylvania-based painter Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009), in the show “Stories of the Sea,’’ at the Currier Museum of Art, in Manchester, N.H.
The museum says the show:
“{B}rings together a number of extraordinary loans with a wide array of artworks and objects from the museum’s permanent collection in order to explore various maritime themes.
“The selection spans the 16th Century to the present day, and includes dramatic seascapes painted in the Romantic tradition; images of steamers and transoceanic travels, referencing migration and tourism; representations of harbors and shipyards; and poetic tributes to the hardships endured by men working at sea.’’
