More about this artwork

"Still Life" (1932-1933) by Marsden Hartley is a vivid and emotive painting that captivates the viewer with its bold colors and dramatic composition. This artwork depicts a large, ripe pumpkin lying horizontally across the dark background, with its vibrant orange hue warmly contrasting the deep, shadowy tones surrounding it. Adjacent to the pumpkin, a sprig bearing lush pink flowers and green leaves adds a burst of life and color to the scene.Hartley's painting style in "Still Life" is characterized by thick, expressive brush strokes, which give the painting a dynamic texture and a sense of immediacy. The background, mostly rendered in black and blue, serves to push the illuminated pumpkin and floral elements to the foreground, suggesting a spotlight effect that directs the viewer’s attention squarely to the richness of the natural objects.This painting exemplifies Hartley’s prowess in using color and form to evoke emotional depth, making inanimate objects pulsate with life and intensity. It is a celebration of nature’s simple beauty, meticulously captured through the artist's modernist eye.

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.
