N. C. Wyeth

Dark Harbor Fishermen

1943

__

Dark Harbor Fishermen is a richly symbolic painting based on real people whom Wyeth saw regularly in the harbor near Port Clyde. The painting celebrates a certain way of life; Wyeth gives us a bird’s-eye view of men laboring on the sea, carving their livelihood out of the murky depths of a mysterious ocean. Wyeth transforms an everyday day scene of ordinary people into an emblem of Maine character and hard work through composition, color, and style.
