Biography
| After moving with his family to Ohio, Marsden Hartley attended classes at the Cleveland Art Institute. After settling in New York and was greatly affected by Albert Pinkham Ryder and the Impressionist Giovanni Segantini. He had his first one man show at Stieglitz's "291 " gallery in 1909. By 1920 Hartley's painting had become increasingly representational. His later landscapes, endowed with a rustic power, express a robust romantic attachment to the United States. He returned to America in 1930 and traveled extensively while working mostly in Maine. In addition to painting, Hartley also composed poetry and wrote on modern art. |
