“This exhibit highlights the work of an artist whose career spanned pivotal decades in American history,” said Paul Fuller, assistant curator at the Maine Maritime Museum. “Beaumont’s paintings captured naval vessels in action, bringing them much more to life than typical ship portraits. Beyond his vessel paintings, his works showcase a rapidly changing world; the creation of the atomic bomb, arctic exploration through the northwest passage and coastal scenes that are drastically different today. Beaumont’s work shows a world in change through the nuclear age and global warming. I find his art, especially within that context, fascinating.”
