Description:
Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017; this is in Colby College's permanent collection. Hartley returned to Maine in 1937, after declaring that he wanted to become "the painter of Maine" and depict American life at a local level. This aligned Hartley with the Regionalism movement, a group of artists active from the early- to mid-20th century that attempted to represent a distinctly "American art." He continued to paint in Maine, primarily scenes around Lovell and the Corea coast, until his death in Ellsworth in 1943. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
