Description
Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) was a painter, poet, writer and pioneer of American modernism. Born in Lewiston, Maine, he lived a peripatetic life, working in Paris, Berlin, New York, Mexico, New Mexico, Bermuda, and elsewhere before returning to Maine in 1934. This illustrated reference encompasses the extraordinary range and depth of Hartley's creative output. Some 75 of his works - landscapes, still lifes, portraits and abstract paintings - demonstrate the visual power for which Hartley gained acclaim as well as the development of his art over the course of his 35-year career. The work gathers together scholarship on Hartley's work, discussing such topics as the artist's working methods, his self-portraits, the influence of Cezanne on his work, and Hartley's attitudes toward Native Americans. A chronology of his life is included, and each painting is accompanied by a full catalogue entry.
