Join the Friends of the Rye Public Library as they welcome Margaret Burgess , the Susan Donnell and Harry W. Konkel Associate Curator of European Art at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine to introduce this exciting exhibition. Showing at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine, from May 2 through September 8, 2013, this spectacular exhibition of modern art consists of 62 works from the renowned William S. Paley Collection at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Paley was a formative and innovative leader in the radio and television world as President and Chairman of the Board at CBS for decades. With Paley at its helm, CBS grew exponentially and nurtured the talents of broadcasting greats including Edward Murrow and Walter Cronkite. With his penchant for new technologies in business, Paley was drawn to modern art as a collector. Paley began to collect art in the 1930s inspired by trips abroad to Europe. He filled his homes with works by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, and Paul Gauguin, among others. These marvelous works, including Picasso’s superlative Boy Leading a Horse, Paris, 1905-6, André Derain’s Bridge over the Riou, 1906, and Gauguin’s magnificent The Seed of the Areoi, 1892, will be on view the summer of 2013 here in Maine. The Portland Museum of Art is the only New England venue for the collection’s 2012-2014 North American tour.
Conservation photographer Jerry Monkman has spent most of his 20 year career right here in New England working on more than 120 conservation photo projects throughout the region. In this inspiring presentation, Jerry will tell the story of some of his most memorable land protection projects, and will share some of his favorite images that describe the breadth of conservation efforts that have protected several hundred thousand acres of open space since 2000. Jerry will also be previewing his new film project, The Power of Place (currently in pre-production,) and will be signing copies of his latest book, the AMC Guide to Outdoor Digital Photography, winner of a 2012 National Outdoor Book Award!Jerry Monkman is a nature, adventure, and conservation photographer based in Portsmouth, NH, where he runs his photo business, EcoPhotography, with his wife Marcy.

Jerry has photographed more than 100 conservation projects for conservation organizations, and his images have appeared in publications around the world, including National Geographic Adventure, National Wildlife, Audubon, and the Washington Post. He is also a regular contributor on the Outdoor Photographer magazine blog, and he has been teaching outdoor photography workshops throughout New England since 2003. A member of the board of directors of the North American Nature Photography Association, Jerry was recently elected to serve as the organization’s president in 2013.

The Friends of the Rye Public Library invite you to attend a second program of the popular first presentation of their 2013 programming series. Dr. Nathan Hamilton comes ashore to share his archaeological adventures on the Isles of Shoals.
In just four years of an ongoing “dig” at the Isles of Shoals, Nathan Hamilton and his archaeology students have unearthed 250,000 artifacts. Those bones, stones, and fragments of human occupation tell volumes about life on a rock. Learn more about their work and findings at this entertaining and educational presentation. Dr. Hamilton notes: “Many people who live at the edge of the sea, deposit their refuse at the edge of the sea.” And what makes this site, the western end of Smuttynose, so useful for archaeologists is that it is undisturbed.
