More about this artwork

"Mushrooms on a Blue Background" is a captivating example of modernist painter Marsden Hartley's work from 1926. This vibrant piece cleverly utilizes thick, expressive brushstrokes to portray a cluster of mushrooms aglow against a lush, cerulean expanse. The use of shape and color in Hartley's composition not only enhances the organic curves of the mushrooms but also evokes a sense of dynamic contrast with the vivid blue background.Each mushroom is captured with a unique perspective and depth, highlighting Hartley's attention to form and his ability to imbue still life subjects with a bold, almost animated, presence. As viewers, we are drawn into a simple yet profound exploration of nature and abstraction, where the everyday object becomes a conduit for seeing the world anew through art.

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.
