Description:
|
Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017. Collection of Karen and Kevin Kennedy. In this work Hartley painted the Baptist church at Corea as a derelict structure, flanked by overgrown grass and lobster traps in disarray. For the artist, this building, like the one at Head Tide, represented Maine as a place of faded glory. The church is still standing today. The work's small size and sketchy nature suggest it was a study for a larger oil painting. X-ray analysis revealed it was painted over an earlier still life.
