Marsden Hartley

We were recently assign to visit our local art museum, BAM, and look at an exhibition about Marsden Hartley, titled American Modern. Marsden Hartley is one of the most important artists from the American early modern period. He was part of the influential group surrounding Alfred Stieglitz in the early decades of this century. Arthur Dove, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Paul Strand were among his colleagues and, with Hartley, core artists of the Stieglitz circle. The exhibition offered a new and important retrospective of Hartley, tracing his evolution in both art and philosophy. Some of the works at the museum included "Dead Plover," "North Atlantic Harvest," and "Santos, New Mexico." There was also a Steiglitz portrait of Marsden which I have pictured to the right. When I looked up his work on google, I found some other pictures which I'll put below.
