Description:
Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017. Responding to the 1936 centenary of Winslow Homer's birth, Hartley started painting the coastline when he began promoting himself as "the painter from Maine." On the stormy shore of Schoodic Point, in Maine's Acadia National Park, he found a scene that showed no signs of human civilization, which must have suited him, for he once described Maine as a "brutal country" that is "strong, simple, stately."
