Early American Modern Master

Marsden Hartley is one of the most important artists from the American early modern period. Time magazine art called Hartley the most brilliantly gifted of the early generation of American modernists. Hartley's vivid hues, muscular paint handling, and pioneering modernism led Pulitzer-prize winner John Updike to praise his boldness, jubilance, freshness, and elan. Marsden Hartley: American Modern presents thirty-seven paintings and sixteen works on paper, along with portrait photographs and sculptural busts. Early post-impressionist mountain scenes, pre-WWI abstractions completed in Paris and Berlin, Maine and New Mexican landscapes and still-life paintings from the 1920s and 1930s are examples of works included in the exhibition. From January 15, Tacoma Art Museum. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
