Martica Sawin

Art critic and historian Martica Sawin has been connected to the international art community for decades. Born in New York CIty, she has had a similarly long-standing connection to Maine. After years of vacationing with her family at places like Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake in South Casco, Martica’s parents bought a farm in Yarmouth in the 1940s, so that her father could commute to his job with Bates Manufacturing in Lewiston. Following a detour to Paris, where Martica met her first husband, (an artist) while studying art history, she continued her education at the University of Iowa. When she returned to New York City in 1946, Martica found the metropolis bursting with veterans pursuing artistic endeavors, and she quickly parlayed her own education into a job with the Museum of Modern Art. These early opportunities would start her down a storied path as an author, educator and overall art expert. Join our conversation with Martica Sawin today on Radio Maine.
