Herman Maril: An American Modernist
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth and in conjunction with exhibitions held at the Provincetown Art Association Museum, the Ward Museum, Salisbury, Md., and the University of Maryland Art Gallery, the Walters will present an exhibition of paintings by Baltimore artist Herman Maril (1908-86). A graduate of MICA, Maril initially painted in the Social Realist style, but over the years, his style evolved into one of semiabstraction reflecting his admiration of works by artists such as Mark Rothko and Milton Avery. In his later paintings, Maril adopted a bolder palette, applying his pigments in broad fields of color. For over 30 years, Maril served on the faculty of both the Studio Art and Art History Departments at the University of Maryland, College Park, teaching painting to countless students. Twenty-six of his seascapes, landscapes and still lifes, painted in Baltimore, Cape Cod and during his travels, will be on view. This exhibition has been generously sponsored by the law firm of Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander, LLC.
