Humble humor from the state of Maine
HANNAH DEAN, STAFF WRITER
A
small, gray man in a blue striped shirt and red suspenders walked onto
the stage. His jean trousers spoke of rural areas where old men still
sat in rocking chairs on their porches. His personage hinted at places

faces in the portraits and self-portraits of Anne Harris. "Without
Likeness: The Paintings of Anne Harris" is the artist's first solo
museum show, and is currently on view downstairs in the temporary exhibition
gallery. [read the article]
