Forest Hart sculptures grace OSHM
Three Little Rascals OQUOSSOC — Labor Day, the grounds of the popular Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum in Rangeley received a considerable upgrade thanks to the long-term loan of two impressive bronze sculptures by nationally known artist Forest Hart.
Hart has numerous bronze sculptures in various locations around the country and the sculptor and his wife, Susan, recently visited the museum at the invitation of Executive Director, Bill Pierce. Hart quickly decided that the museum was an excellent place to feature his artwork and has loaned two impressive sculptures.
The largest work, titled “Three Little Rascals,” captures a female black bear with three cubs frolicking about her.
The other is aptly called “Deer Alert” and features a large whitetail buck and doe standing as though they have just heard a noise from the rear and are poised to bound off across the museum’s lawn.
Deer Alert “We are so fortunate to have such high-quality works of art that fit so well with the theme of our museum and this dynamic region now gracing our grounds, shared OSHM’s Pierce. The two sculptures will be featured at the museum through the 2017 season.
“The Rangeley Lakes Region Historical Society wishes to thank Scott Milbury from M&H Logging, Pat Smith, Mike Koob, Jim Quimby and Bob Mahoney for all their help in making this project happen today and of course, to Forest Hart for the generous loan of these two amazing sculptures,” added a very pleased, Pierce.
