In photos: Artist sets out to re-create scene from Marsden Hartley painting

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 25, 2023

Vermont artist Eric Aho knew last year there was a decent chance that his project – to cut a hole in the ice on Keewaydin Lake in Stoneham and re-create the scene from Marsden Hartley’s painting “The Ice Hole, Maine” – could be postponed by weather. But he didn’t think it would be delayed this long. Aho, some members of the community and friends cut out the “H” shaped hole on Tuesday in an attempt to re-create the scene from the 1908-09 painting “The Ice Hole, Maine,” by Marsden Hartley.
