Main Exhibition Hall --
Art Exhibits
The Davistown Annual Art Exhibition.
Included in our permanent collection are Phil Barter's Gas tanks,
Libby Mitchell's Dog Tweed (upper right,) Melita Westerlund's Medusa
series III, seen in the center of this photo on the stage floor and
Louise Nevelson's wood sculpture used as the base of Melita Westerlund's Target.
Note the Milton Avery landscape in the upper right corner of the photo.
This study was painted by Milton during the summer of 1945 while he summered
in Vermont and shows his experimentation with simplified color forms -
a prelude to his later color field masterpieces. This painting is
on long term loan to the Museum. Visitors please note that the central floor area of the Museum, which
is covered by a spar varnished map of Norumbega, can be utilized for meetings,
dances and movies. We have 75 chairs in storage that can be quickly
assembled for movie night. |

to the fourth floor and back. Note Liberty artist Alan Crichton's Swim above the bulletin board. Installed sideways to fit, it's now titled Swim
Sideways. Joe Ascrizzi's Heavenly Madonnas is to its right. |
