Synopsis
Monhegan Island, Maine, is one of the treasures of America's Atlantic coast. A scant square mile in area and lying twelve miles off the mainland, Monhegan has been home to a fishing and lobstering community since the 1700's. Since the 19th century, the rugged beauty and isolation of the island has attracted large numbers of artists. Rockwell Kent, George Bellows, Robert Henri, Edward Hopper and three generations of Wyeths are among the painters who have worked there. Photographer John Kleinhans has explored this island since 1984. Working with large format cameras, he creates quiet, contemplative platinum prints. This enlarged edition of the award-winning "An Image of Monhegan" presents a unique interpretation of this magical place.
