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.
