This show explores the varied and vibrant artistic vision of Roger J. Morin (1944-2019), an accomplished painter and educator who was based in Houlton, Maine from 2003 until his passing. Spanning Classical Realism, Impressionism, Figurative, Surrealist, and Abstract Expressionist styles, the exhibition features self-portraits, landscapes, and imaginative compositions recently gifted to UMPI by Morin's estate. Visitors are invited to discover the many facets of Morin's art--and the legacy of his creative and civic life.
