Maine Impression

HOWARD FUSSINER (1923-2006) was born in New York City. He studied at the American People’s School, the Art Students League, The Hans Hofmann School, Cooper Union and New York University, where he received his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Art Education.

In his lifetime, he was represented in many one-man and group shows in New York, New Haven and throughout New England, including a thirty-year retrospective at the Munson Gallery in 1990. His paintings and prints are in the collections of the National Gallery in DC, the Slater Museum, The Yale Art Gallery, The New Britain Museum of American Art, and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

Although he painted all over the world, he is most well known for his landscape and parade paintings of Maine. He spent a summer painting on Monhegan Island in 1957 and began summering in Deer Isle in 1960. He bought a house there in 1967 and returned every summer until his death on November 7, 2006.
For him, the gods were Bonnard, Cezanne, and Matisse.
