Description:
|
Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017, from a private collection (AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company). This sketch likely depicts the tiny harbor village of Corea, where Hartley lived and worked from 1940 to 1943. Hartley described it in a letter to a friend as "a wonderful fishing village, a real one, and so like my beloved Nova Scotia, dear old boys sitting in their fish house doorways, quantities of lobster-pots lying around, a post office, and grocery, and a fish-shop."
