About the Item
Bold outlines and strong weighty forms coalesce with a compositional delicacy that forms the hallmark of Hartley's work.
The work has a long and distinguished provenance and exhibition history.
According to art historian Gail R. Scott, the painting was given by Hartley to his very good friend and patron, Adelaide Kuntz.
Kuntz supported Hartley for many years with modest stipends in return for which he gave her many of his works.
After his death, Kuntz gradually consigned or sold works and some were inherited by her daughter, Frances Malek after her death. In turn,
Malek continued to sell the works through various galleries and auctions.

Marsden Hartley was a prominent member of the Stieglitz group and trailblazing American modernist. His work is closely associated with Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Arthur Dove, and Charles Demuth. His landscapes and still-lifes show the influence of Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso. Hartley his first New York solo exhibition at Stieglitz’s 291 Gallery in 1909. He studied under William Merritt Chase and later at the National Academy of Design, but his style was most greatly affected by Albert Pinkham Ryder and the Impressionist Giovanni Segantini. Clearly Marsden Hartley is one of Maine’s greatest modern painters.

- Morning LightBy Maryann LucasLocated in Sag Harbor, NY“Morning Light” epitomizes the abundance of Spring with its bustling bouquet of white lilies, yellow roses, and a sliced open, ready to be eaten pink grapefruit. Despite the levity of the scene, Lucas has challenged herself with space, making a clear contrast between subject and background. She is consciously rejecting the “ironed on” effect of a subject onto a canvas, a trap to which lesser artists might succumb. Artist Bio Maryann Lucas lives and works in Sag Harbor. She is primarily self-taught but has also received instruction and support from wonderful and generous members of the East End artistic community. Working exclusively in oils, Lucas sets out almost daily to create plein aire landscapes and seascapes. In her studio, she works directly from life and captures the beauty of natural light as it transforms ordinary objects into visual delights. Lucas wants her work to celebrate all that is well with this world and brilliant in this life, despite its pockets of darkness. For me, she says, I know I am in the Presence of something beautiful, when it steals my breath, silences my mind, pushes out everything else and draws me in. I trust That. I use That to guide my hands as I arrange a still life or scan a landscape to determine where to set down my easel. Ultimately, That is what drives me to paint. Becoming evermore skilled as an oil painter is another of Lucas goals. To that end she remains teachable, finding it refreshing and vital for her own growth to paint with others. She has studied with favorite artists including Michael Klein...Category

Betsy Podlach is an American painter who considers the Italian Venetians and the american abstract expressionist painters her mentors. The two painters she is most inspired by are Titian and Jackson Pollock, Both use the picture plane and abstraction and space, light, movement and form to communicate a physicality built entirely on the principals of painting, in the “classical” sense of a flat plane and lines, color, shape, space and light applied to that flat surface to create magic – light, space, form, emotion, force, movement, the physical and the spiritual. She describes her work as a figurative version of abstract expressionism. She was influenced by many of the abstract expressionists from the NY school...Category
