Marsden Hartley (1877 – 1943)
Discover Marsden Hartley's powerful American Modernist paintings! Explore his spiritual landscapes, bold portraits & unique blend of abstraction – a pivotal figure in 20th-century art.
Hartley spent a productive summer in 1916 in the company of Charles Demuth and Eugene O"Neill in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The Cape Cod resort was a favorite spot for artists, writers, and actors. Within this small format, several houses, sailboats, and the tall Pilgrim Monument are compressed into flat, geometric forms. Hartley"s titles from the 1910s, such as Movement, Symphony, and Arrangement —like those first used by Whistler, suggest musical analogies for visual imagery.
