More about this artwork

This painting by Marsden Hartley, titled "Still Life," features a vibrant and expressive depiction of a single, large squash paired with a beautifully rendered pink flower and its accompanying leaves and tendrils. The squash dominates the composition with its rich, warm orange hue that contrasts strikingly against the dark, heavily textured background. The use of bold, swirling brushstrokes to define the flower and the squash lends a dynamic, almost tactile quality to the painting.The color palette is striking, with the lush pinks and greens of the flower providing a vivid counterpoint to the orange of the squash, all set against a backdrop that moves between deep black and shades of blue and purple. This contrast not only directs attention to the subjects but also evokes a sense of depth and dimension.Hartley's style in this painting seems to bridge elements of expressionism with those of still life tradition, focusing on emotional resonance through color and form rather than strict realism. This creates an engaging visual experience that invites the viewer to explore the interplay of colors, textures, and the simple yet profound beauty of everyday objects.

Marsden Hartley (1877–1943) is a Maine native and a leading American Modernist painter, along with his contemporaries, Arthur Dove and Georgia O’Keeffe. He is well-known for employing geometric abstraction as well as bold colors and lines. His paintings depicted imagery of nature, landscapes, figures, and still-life. Sponsored by Alfred Stieglitz, Hartley went to Europe in 1912, spending most of his time in Germany, where he met Gertrude Stein, Wassily Kandinsky, and Franz Marc. After returning to America in 1930, he reconnected with the New England of his childhood and started to portray the landscapes of New England in his paintings.
