Linda HefnerTwilight in Parsonfield, ME
About the Item
Linda Hefner is known for her vibrant acrylic paintings of historical New England barns and architecture. Hefner’s love of endangered Americana is rooted in the past, including her own: she spent formative years of her childhood among enduring one-room schoolhouses and pre-Civil War barns near her father’s mink farm in rural Maine. And though her illustrations have been published in The New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar, Hefner’s clear-eyed paintings (painstakingly drafted on fine, prepared birch boards sanded to an eggshell finish) seem a rebuke to the blur of contemporary life. Hefner is fascinated by the untold stories and bygone integrity of her subjects.
“It’s when they were made, and why they were made,” she has said. “They were made before electricity, before antibiotics even - these people needed these places in order to survive as communities. They’re beautiful and can’t be forgotten.” Each building she paints involves multiple site visits and long hours of care devoted to preserving its mute and elusive personality in the perfect light.

"Light, since it defines everything, is what my work is about -- how light changes things, how it inflects the surfaces of places we imagine for ourselves and inhabit, like sunlight touching a window sill, illuminating and creating contrasts and shadows." Working with images he personally photographs, Magsig looks for crucial details...Category
