This month, venture a little bit outside of the Valley and experience the art of Philadelphia native Sam Maitin at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown. Maitin, known for his colorful prints, murals, paintings and sculptures as well as his “signature use of calligraphy,” attended the University of Pennsylvania and passed away in 2004 at the age of 76.
Michener Art Museum has worked with Maitin's family to create an exhibit that displays some of his earlier work, with themes relating to the garden, myths and poetry. Pieces from his limited edition series Basic Animals will also be on display.
The exhibition will take place in the Bette and Nelson Pfundt Gallery, presented by Vivian Banta and Robert Field.
