More about this artwork

Marsden Hartley's "Still Life" (1929) presents an enchanting snapshot of everyday objects, rendered with the unique blend of simplicity and emotional depth that characterizes much of Hartley’s work. The painting portrays a collection of fruit and leaves, depicting what may be grapes and apples, all brought to life through vibrant colors and bold brush strokes.The background is washed in a deep, warm red, setting a dramatic stage that makes the colors of the fruit and leaves pop. The textures are almost tangible; Hartley’s technique gives the objects a sculptural quality that invites viewers to reach out and touch them. The apples and grapes are rendered in differing shades of purple and green, enriching the visual texture and providing a contrast to the striking red backdrop.This work exemplifies Hartley's ability to transform ordinary objects into a dynamic composition, reflecting his profound connection with nature and his keen exploration of the emotional possibilities within the still life genre.

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.
