‘Portland Press Herald’ highlights Mildred Burrage exhibition at UNE Art Gallery
On April 24, 2016, the Portland Press Herald featured an art review of “The Art of Mildred G. Burrage” exhibition currently on display at UNE’s Art Gallery in Portland.
The exhibition “offers insight into the life of one of Maine’s most inventive and exuberant – though, perhaps, less celebrated – 20th-century artists, including her bold embrace of abstraction in the form of mica paintings,” reads the review.
Anne Zill, director of the Art Gallery, who was interviewed for the article, explained, “We’re celebrating the life of an important woman in Maine history and one of the most accomplished artists in all of Maine.”
Also noted in the review is Burrage’s history with the University of New England, as the recipient of the Deborah Morton Award in 1969 in recognition of her career and service to Maine.
