Details: | Marsden Hartley (1877–1943), the self-proclaimed “painter of Maine,” spent much of his life traveling far from his New England roots. As a lifelong wanderer, the places he lived and the objects he collected took on enormous significance for him. Certain locations, from Paris to Berlin, New York to New Mexico, served as touchstones throughout Hartley’s life. He returned to some and never really left others; vivid recollections fill his writings, his reminiscences strengthened by the postcards and pressed flowers he kept. Marsden Hartley: Adventurer in the Arts and its accompanying catalogue trace Hartley’s lifelong search for inspiration and invention. The exhibition, developed by the Vilcek Foundation in collaboration with the Bates College Museum of Art, brings together over 40 paintings and drawings spanning 36 years of the American Modernist artist’s career. The exhibition includes Schiff, 1915, a landmark painting created during Hartley’s time in Germany, which will be shown in the U.S. for only the second time.
