Description:
|
From 1900 Hartley regularly spent his summers in Maine, a state for which he maintained an enduring passion. At the end of autumn 1907 he moved from Maine to Boston, MA. By this stage his painting was progressing from an American form of Impressionism to a type of Neo-Impressionism. The grouping of seasonal themed Maine landscapes into "songs" signaled their association with Whitman's "Song of Myself." Around 1909 his work took a Fauvist shift and he declared himself an "imaginative colorist." (Source: Cassidy, Donna M., Elizabeth Finch, Randall R.
