Museum of Art

For the past forty years the Middlebury College Museum of Art and its predecessor, the Christian A Johnson Memorial Gallery (1968-1992) have been bolstered by a loyal and generous membership group. Comprised of community members, alumni, faculty, staff, students, and their parents alike, the Friends of Art (now called the Friends of the Art Museum) have been instrumental in helping to build a permanent art collection for the College. In 1968, with the inauguration of the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Art Building, the College embarked upon the establishment of a permanent art collection.

Fairfield Porter (1907-1975) was an artist and critic whose works were grounded in the real world during years when abstraction largely dominated the American art. Described as a reticent realist, he painted the world immediately surrounding him: his family, his friends his studio, and his homes in Spruce Head Island, Maine and Southampton, New York. This exhibit of thirty-nine works, many of them unfinished, reflects on his working method and the creative process.
