Organized into a series of thematic groupings, Networks of Modernism contextualizes the artists who lived, worked, or frequented Ogunquit within this broader, interconnected story of American modernism. From the shifting landscape of rapid urbanization and modern forms of labor, to places of escape from the effects of modernity—in both nature and the imagination—this exhibition maps the many ways artists reacted to the immense social, political, and economic changes affecting life in the United States over a roughly 70-year period.
