More about this artwork

The painting titled "Red Tree" by Marsden Hartley is a vibrant and expressive work of art, utilizing a bold color palette and dynamic brush strokes. At first glance, we spot vivid reds and oranges which form the central tree-like shapes that lend the painting its title. These fiery tones are juxtaposed with a variety of greens, blues, and yellows that fill the surrounding space, suggesting a lively, organic environment.Hartley's use of thick, impasto application of paint adds a tactile quality to the scene, making the colors seem almost tangible. The composition is somewhat abstract, with an emphasis more on color interplay and emotional impact than on detailed or literal representation of a landscape. However, the hints of a pathway or clearing leading through the trees suggest some spatial depth, inviting the viewer to enter into the scene.Overall, the work is characteristic of Hartley’s interest in capturing the essence and vitality of his subjects through color and form, rather than straightforward depiction. "Red Tree" effectively conveys a sense of natural vigor and the intrinsic drama of the landscape, likely evoking various emotional responses from its viewers based on the intensity and contrast of its palette.

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.
