The summer 2025 issue of the Maine Arts Journal is out with contributions from Professor of Art Véronique Plesch. In this issue, with the theme of Encounters, she wrote the introduction along with her “Art Historical Musings” column with an essay titled “Encounters Across Time.” The essay, dedicated to Janet Hansen ’75 and Bruce Drouin ’74, discusses three paintings in the Colby College Museum of Art. Plesch was delighted to invite her Colby colleague Christopher T. Richards, visiting professor of art, to contribute an article, “Encounter: Man Mirror, Medieval Modern,” in which Richards writes about works in the Colby Museum.
