Maine artist Langlais represents a unique link between classicism and modernism, painting and sculpture, abstraction and representation. The prolific artist, or ‘painter with wood,’ as he might have preferred, was master of a varied sculptural syntax — from the rhythmic intarsia reliefs for which he first garnered acclaim in New York City, to the witty and heartfelt animals that have installed him permanently in the memory of Maine’s art history. Langlais is one of many assemblage artists in the Allan Stone Collection, dating back to the early days of the gallery. The artist has been the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship, Ford Foundation Award, National Academy of Arts & Letters award and Guggenheim Fellowship. His work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Carnegie International, Pittsburgh; Dallas Museum of Contemporary Art; and Yale University, New Haven.
