More about this artwork

This painting by Marsden Hartley, titled "Flowerpiece," portrays a stark yet playfully geometric composition. The painting features a single white flower with a dark center, positioned within a small, brown vase. The vase has a half-brown, half-white design which adds a notable element of symmetry and contrast.Below the vase, Hartley incorporates geometric shapes, primarily a large black and white diamond shape which rests on a flat surface, expanding the play on symmetry and proportion within the canvas. The background of the painting is textured, primarily in an off-white color that subtly complements the simplicity and the monochromatic palette of the artwork.Hartley's style in this painting leans towards abstraction, reducing the flower and vase to simple forms and emphasizing flatness over depth, giving the painting a modern aesthetic that focuses on shape and color interaction rather than detailed realism. This blend of abstraction and representational art is typical of Hartley's unique artistic vision, making his works stand out in the realm of American Modernism.

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.
