Blubber Island, Maine
Wyeth was fond of the remote part of the Maine coast depicted in "Blubber Island, Maine," and the painting is absent of any trace of human presence. Easel paintings were for the artist a way in which to escape the illustrational work of his past and explore greater personal expression. In 1940, the year of this painting, Wyeth wrote to his son, Andrew Wyeth: "One of my great and blessed relaxations is to concentrate upon any chance detail associated with remote Port Clyde and the sublime sea that bathes its shores."
