From the Myron Kunin Collection of American Art. Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017. 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. At this time he was painting in an American form of Impressionism moving to a type of Neo-Impressionism. In 1909 his work took a Fauvist shift and he declared himself an "imaginative colorist."
