Over East An Artist's Journal: The Contemporary Maritime Community
Artist Robert Beck returns to Maine each year to paint from life in the fishing and boatbuilding communities of the coast. Drawn by the aroma of wood in a boatbuilder’s shop, the activity on a lobster wharf, the ghosts in a spar shed, or the easy conversation of a group of women picking crab, Beck has produced a large body of work he considers his best, and closest to his heart.
