[NANCY GUPPY] Hi there, and welcome to the show.
I'm Nancy Guppy, coming to you from the Frye Art Museum,
where I'm standing in the midst of “Flying Woman:
The Paintings of Katherine Bradford.”
Now, this exhibit, organized by the Portland Museum of Art
in Maine, is Katherine's first museum survey.
And it is breathtaking.
(whimsical music)
38 paintings created between 1999 and 2021 fill three
plus rooms, so it feels like an immersive experience.
At every turn,
you are greeted with bold, thrilling,
delightful blasts of color and shape.
And Katherine's subject matter, the places and people
that she paints - swimmers, superheroes, friends, family,
strangers - are depicted with empathy, humor, mystery,
and most important love.
This show is not to be missed.
“Flying Woman:
The Paintings of Katherine Bradford” runs
now through May 14. Hours and location
to the always Free Frye Art Museum are at fryemuseum.org.
