William Wegman: Hello Nature October 18, 2012

'Hello Nature' is comprehensive exhibition showcasing over thirty years of work by artist William Wegman. It features over 100 works in a variety of media including photography, video, painting, and drawing--all of which were produced in or inspired by the state of Maine. Taken together, this body of work attests to Wegman's rigorous and sustained engagement with the natural world and places the artist squarely within the American landscape tradition. In addition to Wegman's well-known Weimaraners, 'William Wegman: Hello Nature' also features compilations of collages, drawings, excerpts from the artist's illustrated nature books, and prose that evokes both nineteenth-century transcendentalist literature and the whimsical outdoor recreation guides that Wegman first encountered as a child.
