EAC’s ‘Festival of Ornaments,’ a trio of Zoom-based workshops for all ages, is being offered in the spirit of the center’s annual Festival of Trees. 
This week’s piece is a small oil on board painting by Hungarian-American artist, Sandor Bernath (1892-1985) of a coastal scene with a central element of the seining of a herring weir. Without any notation on the painting, presumably the painting is of a scene along the eastern coast of Maine or southwestern New Brunswick as Bernath lived in Eastport, Maine for about 20 years beginning in the mid-1920s. The painting likely dates to the 1930s. Little is known about Bernath and his work along this border region as few works of his related to this region have been discovered. Bernath was born in Hungary and came to the United States when he was young and settled first in New York City. During his long career, he is perhaps best known for his watercolors of sailing yachts, but he also painted coastal scenes, including using oil, such as his painting described here. At one point, Bernath was a student of Edward Hopper. In the early 1920s, he began to paint coastal scenes of New England. In the late 1920s, he moved to Eastport, Maine, where he lived until at about 1945. While Eastport remained his primary residence, Bernath visited and painted in a number of American art colonies during this time. Read more about his connections to the Passamaquoddy Bay
