Marsden Hartley (1877 - 1943) Graphite on paper, signed and dated lower right "Marsden Hartley 27", measures 7 x 10 inches and 13 x 16 inches w/frame. Born in Lewiston, Maine, Marsden Hartley became one of the most famous early modernist artists of twentieth-century American art, known for landscapes, still lifes, and some portraits. His painting showed a focus on monumental shapes, especially clouds and landscape forms, and his unique style has been described by critic Sadakichi Hartmann as "an extreme and up-to-date impressionism" and "emerging modernism that evolved through Impressionism". (Gerdts 291) He had a lonely, insecure childhood because his mother died when he was eight years old, and he was raised by an older sister when his father left to remarry. He studied art in Cleveland, Ohio and then in 1898 went to the Chase School in New York and at the National Academy of Design. He continued to spend much time in Maine painting landscapes, and by 1909 had his first exhibition, which was held at New York Gallery 291, run by Alfred Stieglitz.

Lot Essay The present Lot is included by Gail R. Scott in the Marsden Hartley Legacy Project: Complete Paintings and Works on Paper. Pansy, a striking solitary yellow flower set against a dynamic purple backdrop, is a wonderful example by Hartley. The simplicity of the composition contrasts with the flower’s bold and distinctive form - a result of Hartley’s intentional and expressive brushwork that injects a sense of movement and energy into the piece. Through a touch of abstraction, the artist highlights the graphic qualities of the flower, distilling it to fundamental elements and stylizing its petals, center, and overall structure in adherence to a modernist aesthetic. Hartley’s use of a vibrant color palette amplifies the overall visual impact of the work, which commands the viewer’s attention. It also elicits a spectrum of emotions, from joy and warmth to introspection as pansies are generally associated with sentiments of love, remembrance, and thoughtfulness.
