Birds We Know is the catalogue for an exhibition of paintings by New York–based artist Ann Craven (born 1967). The new exhibition and catalogue include the imagery that Craven is renowned for including her lushly coloured, mesmerising moon and stripe paintings; however, here the birds dominate as the primary subject, including work made between 1997 and 2019. The book includes an essay by Christopher B. Crosman, formerly of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Farnsworth Art Museum. This large survey at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art is the artist's first exhibition in Maine, where she has been living part-time and painting since the early 1990s.ISBN 9781949172300.
