William Manning
Am. b. 1936 
 

William Manning is one of the best Maine based abstract painters since fellow Lewiston born Marsden Hartley.  Philip Isaacson, art critic for the Maine Sunday Telegram, wrote in his October 18, 2009 column about Bill's recent show of new works at the Jameson Gallery, "Manning walks with the masters.”  Four of Bill's works are currently (12/19/09 to 2/28/10) being shown at the Portland Museum of Art. The works shown below demonstrate the evolution of Bill's work from the 1950's onward and would be excellent additions to (or beginnings of) any William Manning art collection.
