Sargent &amp; Andrew Yang<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The romantic notion of the American impressionist as free spirit was embodied by<b>\u00a0Louis D. Norton<\/b>\u00a0(1868-1940), who is widely collected in the Kennebunks and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When the British steam vessel\u00a0<i>Wandby<\/i>\u00a0crashed off Walker&#8217;s Point in 1921, church bells rang and &#8220;Kennebunkport schools closed for the day so kids could watch the Coast Guard efforts to float the\u00a0<i>Wandby<\/i>\u00a0off the rocks,&#8221; according to local historian Sharon Cummins. In the crowd was Louis B. Norton, whose work helps us tag along today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Norton left his childhood home in Providence to study at the Acad\u00e9mie Julian in Paris. Returning to New England, he fell in love with Kennebunkport and settled here in 1906. Quickly, he showed us that low tide is a mark of beauty and a fishing village is the center of the universe. Locals loved his knowing brushstrokes, his lust for beauty and spirits, his penchant for a good horse trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><em>See the full story\u00a0in the digital magazine above.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-20416\" src=\"http:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"LouisNorton\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton-200x105.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton-620x326.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LouisNorton.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Louie&#8221; Norton painted the soul of the Kennebunks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20415,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20414"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20460,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20414\/revisions\/20460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
