The coast of New England has long attracted tourists and artists drawn to the primal drama of the ocean. The 19th century brought changes as coastal communities shifted from an industrialized economic resource to a therapeutic shelter for middle-class tourists, while artists banded together for purposes of camaraderie, creativity, and commerce, and founded coastal art colonies. Here are 30 paintings by artists such as Edward Hopper, Childe Hassam, Gertrude Fiske, and George Bellows, among others, that capture the drama as well as the serenity of Maine.
