Description:
Summer, Sea, Window, Red Curtain was painted during one of Marsden Hartley’s last full seasons in the fishing village of Corea, Maine. It is most likely the view through a window of lobsterman Forrest Young’s house where Hartley boarded from 1940 until his death in 1943. It was in a studio on the Young’s property that Hartley painted some of his strongest depictions of the rugged qualities of Maine’s landscape and people. Here Hartley merges seascape and still life, realism and abstraction into a painting with a powerful and dynamic quality.
